Awana Awards

Tonight closed out another season of Awana for the kiddos.  It was a big night as they each received a reward for completing their books.  Plus three of the four graduated and will move up a level next year; Elyse graduated from Sparks, Kallen graduated from Cubbies and Ian graduated from Puggles.  The night was full of games, cotton candy, singing, awards and non-stop fun.  Proud of them all!

Les Miserables

Every since it was promoted in January, Elyse who loves musicals asked if we would take her to Legacy's school edition of, "Les Miserables".  We told her we couldn't commit to buying tickets because of scheduling conflicts at the time of sales.  Well lucky for Elyse, some of our good friends had two extra tickets yesterday and asked if we would like to use them.  Thankfully we were able rearrange somethings so Dad could take Elyse, and the joy on her face will never be forgotten.  They both agreed, it was really good!  She's already excited to go again next year.

Blow Up Ball

Ian received this huge blow up ball for his first birthday, and every once in a while we blow it up for hours of fun and free entertainment.

Kallen's Spring Production

Tonight Kallen participated in his preschool's Spring Production.  He was so excited all day to get dressed up, stand on stage with his class and sing his six songs to the rest of us.  He looked so handsome and did a great job! 

Mom's Birthday

Today just happened to be my birthday.  I feel awkward doing a post about me, but I had to in order to brag about Dad and the kids.  Dad really outdid himself this year with decorations, gifts, and having my favorite, carrot cake.  The day was built around non-stop fun, surprises and love; it started with constant hugs/kisses and "Happy Birthday Mom".  Then the kids had me open the presents they picked out and amazingly all kept it a secret.  Following that we spent our day at church, and then just relaxed outside and had a family day.  Loved this birthday day and honestly it is going to be hard to top or get close to the greatness next year. 

Perfection

Every once in a while we get a day that I would consider "perfection".  Today was one of those days.  Dad came home early from work, we all went out for breakfast donuts, a little shopping, attended a fun friend's birthday party, took Grace to a local park to play and went on a long walk/bike ride.  Ending the day with a great family summer meal, plus to top it all off, it was 70 degrees with low winds, no humidity and all sun....PERFECTION indeed! 

Easter Sunday

Yesterday marked one of my favorite days throughout the whole year, Easter.  For most of the world the day involves eggs, a white bunny, family and food.  For our family some of those elements are included, but majority of the day was focused on the true meaning of Easter, the resurrection of our Lord in Savior.  So our day went as it has in the past; we started off at church praising Jesus for dying for our sins, then reading the Easter story with resurrection eggs, opening our Easter bags, eating a delicious meal as a family, and finding eggs throughout the yard.  The day overall went perfectly.  

He is Risen!
