...and her heart grew 3 sizes that day!

This morning when I took Cole to school he jumped out of the car and waved at me all the way to the steps. He turned climbed the steps and when he reached the top he turned back around and blew me a kiss!!! Boy did that make my heart swell! What a good boy!
This past week was also his birthday, I will post more at some point this weekend!

A busy life

Life has been so BUSY!
Jack did graduate, it was a good night surrounded with about 14 friends and family members. Graduation was good, then several of us went to eat Mexican. Of course, Jack and Robbie were fooling around and they spilled a whole glass of tea right in my lap! After supper Jack, Robbie, myself, and a friend of mine stayed in Nashville for a few hours. It was an ok night but I was very thankful to get home and in bed! Anyway... here are a few pictures of graduation.

Here is Jack and Cole and Jack's brothers, TJ and Robbie. Robbie got to take about a week leave, he is in the army and based in Colorado Springs Colorado. It was good to see him. His brother TJ left 2 days later on a Sunday for the army himself. Jack is very proud of his brothers.

3 Generations of the Watts men. Jack Jr., Jack III, and Cole.

And of course Jack and his wife e!

Here are the two of us with my parents.

And finally a picture of Jack receiving his diploma. We all were so proud of him!

Jack's mom and Doyle and Grandmam and Grandpa Hill also come for the occasion. I thought I got pictures of all of them too, but I guess not. I am going to have to get them to send me some of those pictures.
Well Jack finished his extern on Monday and was on the job hunt on Tuesday. He thinks he might have found a temporary position for 6 weeks in Tullahoma. And he had an interview with a local Dr.'s office on Thursday that we think went very well. We are hoping to hear back from that this week.
Colton also had his first day of school this past week. Jack took him to register on Wednesday. Friday when we tried to get him up and ready for school he threw a FIT, told us he hated school and did not ever want to go. When Jack picked him up Friday after school, they both come to work to pick me up. When Cole saw me he rolled down the window and said, "HEY I LIKE SCHOOL NOW!" And he told us just today that he was excited about going back tomorrow, hopefully he will keep liking it this year.
Colton is such a good boy. He is so well behaved and respectfull. I could really go into a spill right now and will not, but I truly believe God has a special hand on Cole right now.
Leads me to my quote for the day, also the Bible verse I got in Sunday School this morning. Comes from Jeremiah 29:11
FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS AND PLANS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU, SAYS THE LORD, THOUGHTS AND PLANS FOR WELFARE AND PEACE AND NOT FOR EVIL, TO GIVE YOU HOPE IN YOUR FINAL OUTCOME.
Anyway, all is good in the Watts world. It is very exciting to see what the next couple of months will hold for us!
