Easter

Christ the Lord is Risen Today!

We had a very nice Easter this year. Church was wonderful, I sang in the choir which I really have been enjoying and being able to sing at Easter was great! The kids looked so nice in all their Easter wear. It was so nice to see the sun! I love that for as long as I can remember there is ALWAYS sun on Easter! I love it, to me it's God, Jesus and everyone rejoicing in heaven as we on earth celebrate the Risen King!

The Easter Bunny did come and visit us, the kids searched the house and found their baskets. They were VERY happy the Easter Bunny came.

I've attached some pictures below:








Doesn't Brady look dapper!


Bethany picked out her Easter dress herself, I really thought she would pick a pink one that she was adimate about , but then all of a sudden she spotted this one and low and behold she changed her mind-typical girl!


These are Bethany's friends that she plays a lot with, Chloe and Iris, we are missing one, Ellie she was out of town with her Mom and Dad. Mommy thinks their moms are really cool chicks too!


Mommy and Daddy are done with Easter grass, we don't think it should have been invented. This is Bethany's aftermath, Ugh! We are going to remind the Easter bunny next year that it is not required that you HAVE to have Easter grass in the baskets. Leave it to the Easter bunny always thinking about the "look"! Sorry my dear husband, the bunny will do better next time.

Egg Hunt

Today after church, they had an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. There were a ton of eggs!
This is Bethany's 2nd "hunt" so far, so she's a pro! :)'

Trip to the patch...

A pumpkin patch!

The kids and I were able to go with some friends from church to a pumpkin patch! The weather was great and everyone had a wonderful time. We found a lot of cool pumpkins!! After we hunted for our favorite pumpkins(we had to get one for every member of our family including dog and cats) we went over to a picnic area and had some lunch although I think the kids just enjoyed rolling down the big hill.

It was fun!!

We'll post some pictures after we carve them too!

Easter Weekend

We had a really nice Easter weekend. Friday we went to Good Friday service at church which was wonderful! I really like our new pastor, he's great! After that we came home and dyed some Easter eggs with the kids which was a lot of fun. They both did such a great job!!

We had a very nice church service on Sunday. The kids looked so good in their Easter outfits. Brady was so grown up, and Bethy looked like a little bell! :) We had an easy rest of the day, and just lounged around. It was so nice. The Easter Bunny brought Brady and Bethany the movie Happy Feet, so we sat and watched that, well, Bethany was pretty much on the go. Sitting still is not really apart of her right now! :) They each enjoyed some of their Easter chocolate from Easter Bunny too.

In like a Lion...

So March definately came in like a lion(and Bethany would say, "Raaaar!")! As stated in my last post we had a rough start with Bethany, well the 2nd week of March didn't get better it got worse! Brady ended up getting sick, VERY sick, a lot worse than Bethany. He missed preschool all of last week. To make things worse, ol' mama got sick too starting Tuesday afternoon. I seriously do not know how I was able to watch the kids Tuesday and Wednesday. Super Mommy Mode kicked in and I did it! I just slept everytime the kids took a nap. Kirk was able to come home early both nights so that helped a lot!! I think the flu shot helped too, because I never got extremely puky sick, I'm happy I got it(the shot). By Thursday I was better, just a little weak. Brady was getting better too. Friday we could see a BIG improvement. I started to thoroughly disinfect the house. I finished Saturday-Whew!
The weekend was good. We needed it!!! Brady had his last basketball game and did well. It's so hard being the only lefty on the team, his right just doesn't work the same! ;) We were able to get some things done at home that we had been waiting for nice weather to do. Brady and Kirk were able to work and play outside some. Mommy & Bethany were able to get some good nappin' in! Sunday we went to church, Bethany always has the ladies in the nursery in a tickle. She dances like crazy, and knows were the music comes out of the speaker. They say she always points at it when it stops(it's hooked up so you can hear the church service). Next Sunday our new pastor will finally be here. I'm excited to see what he has to bring to the church.
Sunday afternoon, we went for a drive and then went to the park so the kids could play and enjoy the weather. We had a lot of fun, there are some pictures below.
Overall just a teriffic weekend, hopefully our March lamb is coming into the picture so we can totally be rid of the yucky lion!
Love.
