Congrats to Joy our Honor Star!

Here she is before the ceremony!
I had so much fun doing her hair!
Here she is with her sweet Daddy!
It was a beautiful evening.

I was just sure I would be a teary mess up on the stage, because I get all choked up when girls I don't even know get crowned... ; )
But, I made it!
Here we are.
(minus Nathan who was delayed in Chicago)

(thank you Jamie for taking pictures for us!)

A sweet family paid for all the girls to have a ride in this:
And they were so excited! They went somewhere "really fancy."

~To Mc D*nalds for sundaes! : )

Now, if you have a daughter who becomes an Honor Star and someone hands you the piece of cake with her picture on it and she is off in a limo having a sundae, DON'T eat it!
It may cause her to be scarred for life and your family will tease you forever. Plus, it's really a weird feeling eating your daughter's face. -Trust me on this one! ; )

~Becky , who is hoping to live this down someday!

Your Joy is just beautiful! Congrats to her and to all of you for the great kids that you are raising.

What a neat trip to WI too. Your involvement in the Bible quizzing is very impressive.

Keep it up!

What a beautiful and honorable accomplishment!! And, don't feel too bad about the cake, Becky. . .I probably would have done the same thing!!

~P.S. So far we've found one pair of jeans and a pair of shorts that I think belong to Nathan. I'll send them by the guys on Sunday!!
