Maddy

I was talking to Elijah yesterday and telling him we had to take Maddy to the doctor to get her shots and he says "Well that's not nice!"  He cracks me up!  He was very worried that they were going to hurt his Maddy!  

Easter

So all this week I have been shopping shopping shopping for Easter.  I had to have three outfits for the weekend because I am up all three days.  Making sure that the kids had their clothes and of course the Easter baskets.  I am so looking forward to this weekend of spending time with the Lord in worship for nine services.  Yes, I know it will be exhausting but I know that He is going to meet with me.  He always does and I have discovered that that is what gets me so excited and keeps me coming back for more.  The feeling of soaking in His presence during worship is like none other to me.  This weekend I am reminded of the sacrifice that He made for me and that He rose.  I am also reminded of one of my favorite songs where it says.  

Savior He can move the mountains My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save. Forever author of Salvation He rose and conquered the grave Jesus conquered the grave!!

Shine your light and let the whole world see, We're singing for the Glory of the risen King!

I pray you all have an amazing Easter and soak in His presence this weekend

I am trying to figure out how to change the color of the background where all the writing is.  Any tips on how to do that??

Funny Story

Yesterday we went to Hard Eight BBQ for dinner, (which I highly recommend).  There were a bunch of Harley riders there meeting.  Of course they were also wearing all there vests that have all the patches along with their chaps and all.  Faith says " You know those motorcycle guys in their vests kind of remind me of Girl Scouts with all their patches on there!"  After we all died down from laughing I made sure to tell her let's not repeat that to loud in here!

Crazy Texas Weather!

Out the front after it let up

When Gunnar opened the door to grab some they came flying in the house into the entry really hard!

Elijah looked out the window and said "What in the heck?"  I know I need to tell him that is not appropriate language but it was so funny!  He also wanted to know who was going to get out there and clean them all up

They were actually really spiky.  They weren't smooth at all like the little ones usually are!

Well to say the weather in Texas is unpredictable would be an understatement.  Yesterday was such a beautiful day we played in the backyard until it was to dark to see each other.  We put the kids to bed and watch 24.  At the end we see the weather and see that a really bad line of storms is coming with hail in the next 10 minutes.  So Gunnar and I run down stairs and see about Mom and Dad's cars.  We park ours in the garage but theirs are parked outside.  We decided to move the cars across the street under the covered entrance at the school.  I wish we had a picture of this because it was so funny looking.  Their cars were pulled up all the way to the front doors!  But praise the Lord there was NO damage to there cars!!  Gunnar and Dad got back over with about 5 minutes to spare before the hail came and boy did it come down!  It was so loud I was even a bit surprised.  We have a two story house and it was still extremely loud.  I am so thankful that no windows were broken.  There are several houses with windows broken and shutters busted.  The kids woke up and were scared to death but it was over within about 5-10 minutes!  I feel terrible for so many of my friends with busted windshields and cars.  Today the sun is shining it is a bit cooler but it looks to be a beautiful day outside.  This weather is so crazy around here!

Oh Happy Day!

Ok I had to post this because I didn't even know I could do this and my friend Amy caught it!

Ok so I can't tell you how excited I was to see that I had four comments!!  Made My Day!!  Thank you to my sweet friends who dropped me a message!!

Today we had my sweet Katy's 7th birthday party.   When I asked her what she wanted to do she said she wanted to have a party at the house with her girls from school.  So that's what we did.  We had a bounce house, and the weather could not have been more perfect.  We had originally scheduled it for two weeks ago but it got rained out.  Katy had fun we had fun and the kids are going to sleep good tonight!  I was inspired by cousin Paige to get a cupcake tree so I made some yummy cupcakes and was really happy with the way they turned out.  

Thinking of Coming Back to Blogland...

So, I've been thinking of coming back to blogland.  Not sure anyone really reads anyways but I'm going to try to start updating more regularly.
