Easter (Part I)

The Saturday before Easter, we had an Easter Egg Hunt at the church. We had a great crowd...about 20 kids or so. They had a great time hunting for eggs, then Daniel shared the gospel using the Resurrection Eggs, and then we had snacks. It was really hard to get pictures of the boys during the hunt...they move so fast!

The cupcakes I made for the hunt.

Elijah running for the prize! Couldn't get one of Levi...couldn't find him!

The group of kids after the hunt...filling them full of sugar, then sending them home!

Yumm!

Can you tell which part Elijah likes BEST?!



The next morning, the Easter Bunny came!

And then, we went to church!

I fell in LOVE with these jackets when I saw them at Crazy 8...I bought them a year in advance!

This is what Elijah did when I told them to put their arms around each other!

Stay tuned for Easter (Part II)!

Gearing up for Disney!

It's an everyday question now..."Is it summer? Are we going to see Mickey?" The boys are so excited about going to Mickey's house this summer! They come up with some very interesting questions: "Does Mickey have hands to open his door with?" "Does Nemo live underwater? Will we go underwater to see Nemo?" "Will we get to ride in Mickey's car? I want to 'cause it's red!"

Anyway, in the spirit of saving money, and because I like to find solutions to problems/do things/make things myself, I've decided to take on a few projects for our upcoming trip. I am making the boys an autograph/memory book (one each); let's just say that buying one would have been easier! I'm also going to make them Disney shirts to wear to the parks (two each; thanks to Gammie for buying them one each = 1 shirt each for each day at Disney!). Oh, and their umbrella strollers...I'm gonna make a "pillow" piece to attach to the top (because their heads hang off...yes, they're too big, but I'm not carrying two 3 yr olds around Disney when they get tired!). The final project is one that Granny is taking on: making Disney pillow cases for the trip (she's very good at these, and the boys look forward to picking out their pillow cases each time I change their sheets!). And, I have just a few short weeks to get all this done in! I think I need to get busy!

The next couple of days I will be posting pics from the past couple of months...including Easter, and our pictures from the wild flower field!

Psalm 116:15

Join my family in praying for some friends back in Louisville. Pray for Becky and her 3 young children as they grieve the loss of a husband/father. Jonathan collapsed at work this morning, and passed away this afternoon. Completely unexpected, and devestating for a precious family!

Snow Babies!

The boys were so excited to wake up this morning and find it snowing! They were eager to get outside and play in it. After lunch, Gammie and I bundled them up (2 pairs of socks, sweat pants, wind pants, t-shirt, sweat shirt, scarf, coat, gloves, mittens, hat, and boots), and went out for about 20 minutes; GrandDaddy made it home in time to play too!. Then we (meaning Gammie and I; the boys wanted to stay out) had to come in and warm up!




















Schnow Schnoccer!



Weee!
