Mighty Digger Kids

Last summer Nate pulled out all the weeds in this square box behind our swing set.  After pulling them all out, we learned the box was filled with rocks, which became the PERFECT rock pit for the kids.  In fact, I would take rocks over sand any day!  That's because it doesn't become a animals' litter box, doesn't get in the kids' shoes, and a lot easier to pick up when dumped out of the box.  Recently the kids received these awesome diggers as a gift.  Needless to say, they ask daily to go play with them until they are forced to stop.  

Be Well with "Twin Cities LIVE"

If you know me at all, you know I am one, if not the biggest advocate of chiropractic care (especially pediatric chiropractic care).  I absolutely love ours, "Essential Life Chiropractic" in Andover, and so thankful for it!  So when our chiropractic, Dr. Tony asked me if I would be willing to share our family's chiropractic story on our local daytime's live show, "Twin Cities LIVE", I happily said, "Yes."  We drove to Woodbury on Thursday to do the segment and it aired live today.  Both the kids and I had a lot of fun doing it, and even more fun watching ourselves on television.

Pictures of us live on TV today.

Gone Fishing

After putting Ian down for his nap, I came downstairs to find this: the boys decided to stack every blanket, pillow and climbing accessory they could find from the family room to make their pond and cliff.  They were fishing using their jump-ropes and our blanket bucket.  They informed me that they had to stay behind the cliff or the alligators were going to get them, and therefore couldn't go take their naps :)  I know I've said it before, but I LOVE their creativity!

Celebrating Easter

Easter this year was just like every other; the day was filled with joy, love and celebrating Jesus rising from the dead for our sins.  Our day consisted of our annual traditions: attending church, opening our baskets, doing resurrection eggs, sharing a meal together and after naps doing our Easter egg hunt.

On Saturday we also did our annual dying of Easter eggs. 

He is Risen!

We hope you take sometime today to rejoice in our Lord in Savior, Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again so we could be free.

May you have a day full of joy, love and laughter.

Happy Easter

Hosanna Pictures

While Ian was taking his nap, the other three and I spent our time discussing the events that led to Easter, including the prophesy of the Messiah riding in on a donkey.  While talking the kids actively made their own pictures and shared why they put their stickers were they did. Love their creativity and hearts for Jesus.

Easter Fun

Our morning was packed full of fun Easter activities.  We started off at our church where we did lots of Easter crafts, dressed up and ate yummy empty tomb snacks.  After that we headed over to Caleb's preschool for some Easter games and our annual Easter egg hunt in the ball pit.  Overall, our morning was full of fun, fellowship and family.  Such a great way to kick off the week leading up to Easter.
