The most important statement you will ever here...

HE IS NOT HERE FOR HE IS RISEN!

We had a great Easter Weekend spent hunting eggs, fishing with cousins, seeing what the bunny brought and reflecting why we celebrate Easter. We have been able to talk with Cole about the true reason for celebration and the greatest sacrifice that was ever made. We enjoyed a wonderful church service yesterday; from the incredible music we sang to the sermon that was preached. Brother Luke emphasized that in our world today there are 2 billion people who have never heard the good news. That is alarming and such a reality check. It is evident that I need to focus on the greatest commission ever given to me and strive daily to share the word with those I come in contact with. It is heartbreaking to think that 2 billion people on this earth could die today not knowing what the Lord did for them. I pray that we all reflect on this statement and think about what we will do to change this. Below are pictures from our weekend.

This is how we started our Saturday. Fighting Mama because they didn't want a picture taken. It is almost impossible to take a picture with both of them cooperating.

Owen eventually got out of Honey's arms to try his hand in picking up eggs.

My next task is to get this pappy taken away from him. I know that is has everything to do with me and that it really isn't as hard as I think but at the moment it keeps him quite. So selfish I know.



Addison helped Owen put eggs in his basket.
They are such a mess together and I can't figure out which one talks the most!

Cole got excited to find the eggs after we hid them for the third time. You see, neither one of the boys wanted to pick them up so we picked up a few and put in their baskets and after all the other children cleared out they decided they wanted to hunt the eggs. So, we took the few that we had, hid them and they found them. This sums it up! The boys don't ever want to take a picture and smile like Mommy would like. Caroline was so good! She didn't start crying until she looked at my two screaming. Caroline is our new neighbor and we adore her. The boys love having her around.

Enjoying Cheetos while we watched the puppets.

This little monkey had to have his Cheetos too! Rotten, I tell you!

Cole, Graham, Addison, Aliee and Owen enjoying the puppets. Mom had Hope's kids over the weekend while she and David were on their trip.Cousin Shep even came to the egg hunt and puppet show. This is the best we could do!
