Our Easter

I know its been almost two weeks, but I have to share pictures from our Easter. We went to church Saturday night and then went to my parent's house for brunch. The whole family was there...which is always so fun. So, here you go!

I love these...Molly was having none of it and getting a group shot of five all looking and smiling is pretty much impossible at this age. We were so happy to have Claire and Luke with us! We sure love those cuties!

Our Beauties on Easter Morning
I love taking several just to see the change in their expressions!

Our Drama Girl

Precious Sydney
She's definitely in a stage where it's pretty easy to get a smile out of her...at least most of the time!

Our Littlest Princess
I love the one of her trying to get a taste of her dress. Yum.

A Random Assortment--
BigPa and Gigi with the Girls, BFFs, Me and My Sisters, The Soon-To-Be Parents, The Tards

Daddy and Mommy with 2 of our little sweets!

Love Him!

My Silly Girl

This girl makes us laugh everyday. She has quite the personality...so funny!

Nice Ensemble!

Sydney is a Daddy's Girl! If she can't have her Daddy, she'll settle for his hat! :)

Fun With Friends

A couple of weeks ago we met the Turners' at a local hamburger place and had lots of fun. We love that the kids are just old enough to have their own booth...so much nicer than highchairs bunched around the table!

So Sweet

Happy Easter

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He is risen, just as He said." Matthew 28:5-6

Thank you Lord for your risen Son. Thank you for the hope He has given us through His resurrection.

One of Gracie Claire's favorite Veggie Tales movies is "The Easter Carol." I LOVE the movie and I LOVE this song--"Hope's Song"-- from the sweet movie.

"There is nothing left to fear,
Nothing Heaven knows--
For He died for us to give us life
And to give us hope He rose.
He died for us to give us life
And to give us hope He rose."

Awesome.

The Zoo

We took the girlies to the zoo this week and had so much fun! We haven't been in a while, and this was the first time Sydney has been where she really enjoyed it. I love our zoo. I'm so glad we got to go experience it together as a family. And now...the pictures. :)

Waiting to go in!

Sunday's Coming

Today I was thinking about when I saw "The Passion of the Christ." It wasn't an enjoyable movie--I sobbed through most of it--and I haven't seen it since. But, I clearly remember the picture it painted of the torture that Jesus went through for us. For me. It made me literally sick to my stomach to watch it. Why would our perfect Lord take all of our sin upon Himself and go to hell for us?

"This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." 1 John 4: 9-10

It boggles my mind. He loves me. He died for me. He paid the price that I was suppose to pay. Amazing. His grace saved me. What an amazing Lord we have.

"Everyone has sinned. No one measures up to God's glory. The free gift of God's grace makes all of us right with Him. Christ Jesus paid the price to set us free. God gave Him as a sacrifice to pay for sins. So He forgives the sins of those who have faith in His blood. God did all of that to prove that He is fair. Because of His mercy He did not punish people for the sins they had committed before Jesus died for them." Romans 3:23-25

Today is a day set aside for remembering His death...but, Sunday's coming. He's not dead. He's risen!

Making A List

This is just a reminder list to help me remember what I want to blog about over the next few days...

• The Zoo
• Almost Killing the Fish
• Easter
• Friends
• The Garden
  

I know this is a short list, but I forget easily these days. I think I'm forgetting something, so I might add to the list as I remember. Sorry for the boring post. :) Happy Friday!!

Look Who Found Her Toes...

Just Keepin' Busy

I'll stop playing with my toesies for a quick smile!

Bloggin' Fool

This is my 8th post today! I was a little behind, so I thought instead of one huge post, I'd do several smaller ones. So, be sure to scroll down to see all of the other ones! The point of this post was to tell everyone about the other ones--which is really boring, so here are some new pictures of my sweets!
