Easter

April 12, 2009, Easter Sunday - Jesus is Alive!

^{Matthew 28:5-7} The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

The kids sang in church today. I am so thankful for my family and that we serve a risen Lord.

Dying Easter Eggs

April 10, 2009, Good Friday - After school today Brittany and Nathan dyed Easter Eggs. This is a fun tradition in our family. They liked dying them, drawing on them with the wax crayon and then putting stickers on them. They made a sports egg for Daddy.

Preschool Easter Egg Hunt & Game

April 8, 2009, Wednesday - Nathan had his Easter Egg Hunt at preschool today. He had a lot of fun even though it was cold. 51 degrees at the time of the hunt. He found a lot of eggs.
He had his 3rd soccer game tonight. His team is doing really well. They won their 3rd game. Brittany kept score again. 19-3 and Nathan made 5 goals. There are only 4 kids on the field at a time from each team. There were 7 kids there tonight on his team. So Nathan ended up sitting out some. He made goals every time he was put in though. Way to Go Nathan!

Wackadoo Zoo

April 7, 2009, Tuesday - Today Brittany had a 1st grade Music Program called Wackadoo Zoo. Mom, Nathan and I were able to go see it. Chad was out of town for work. Brittany did a great job! She was a goat. Other kids were lions, cows, monkeys and pigs. The animals were mixed up with the proper sound they were suppose to make. It was funny and made us smile. Way to Go Brittany!

Walk, Game, Carnival, & Lake

April 4, 2009, Saturday - Today is a busy day, but FUN. We started out the morning with Brittany's school doing a walk to raise money for technology at the school. The family got to walk around the school soccer field with her. Nana and Papa even came out to support her! It was a fun walk....the kids ran some too. The Chick-fil-A cow was there too.

This is the 1st Grade sign. Brittany's purple handprint is in the top left corner.

Then we left the walk to go to Nathan's 10am Soccer Game. He did GREAT again. His team won 16-10 and Nathan made a lot of goals. It was fun to watch these little kids go after the ball.

Planting Seeds

April 3, 2009, Friday - Today is a beautiful day. When Brittany got home from school the kids & I planted some flowers and some marigold seeds. It will be fun to watch the flowers grow.

Spontaneous Trip

March 27, 2009, Friday - Well, we decided to book a spontaneous trip to the beach. Chad called me at noon and said we are headed to Myrtle Beach around 3:30pm. OK, let me get everyone packed. We dropped the dog at Mom and Dad's and headed on our way.
We had a great time. It was a refreshing weekend. The kids found lots of shells on the beach and enjoyed the cold ocean.
