Easter Weekend Recap

We had a great Easter weekend celebrating that Jesus is Alive complete with making a playdough tomb for Jesus, dying Easter eggs, making our traditional bunny cake, hunting for eggs, and dinner and dessert with great friends.  I am one blessed and thankful girl!

 

 

 

 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Y'all!  We saw this video at church this morning and it was too awesome not to share.  Hope you all have a great day celebrating!  He's ALIVE!

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!" Luke 24:5-6

Staycation

Since Michael finished his tough rotation of night and day float last week he decided to take a few days of vacation to celebrate and recuperate after a loooong ten weeks.    We have made the most of our staycation and had tons of fun even though the weather really couldn't have been worse!  (It snowed on Sunday)

We went bowling with our good friends the Kiewiets and Bradleys.  This is Luke's girlfriend, Evie.

We spent the night at a ranch/waterpark resort that's about an hour from here and I think it's safe to say Luke was in heaven!  

 Langley swam for the first time

 We ate ice cream before dinner

 I think she liked it!

 We went and checked out the animals and I couldn't help but crack up watching Luke run around like he owned the place.  He doesn't seem to have a shy bone in his body. 

I have LOVED having Michael home and even got to go out on hot date with him last night!  :)  So thankful to be on this journey with him. 

A taste of Spring

We got a little taste of Spring last week but it was short lived and since then has returned to winter weather again!  To say I'm sick of winter...geez.  We made sure to enjoy ourselves while we had the chance to play outside.  

We love our Nana

I'm telling you what, we have the best family in the world evidenced by our steady stream of visitors we have had to get us through this loooooong winter.  Nana came to love on us this past week and we of course had so much fun!  We played in the backyard and with Lightning McQueen cars for the most part, and while the kids napped Kellie and I painted!  

She is a worker bee and has a way with the paint brush that you wouldn't believe. We decided to paint the front living room at 2:00 one day when the kids went down and we had it done and put back together all before 6:30 when Michael came home.  Kind of unbelievable.  Anyways, thanks for coming to see us, Nana, we loved every minute and we all felt spoiled when you left.  :)

We're having a....
