Easter Excitement!

What a marvelous time of the year! Our Lord has risen! He has risen indeed! Halleluiah! Aunt Tammy and Uncle Big Tom helped the boys celebrate at our church Eggstravaganza! It is always so fun to watch the different age egg hunts! The boys always love coloring Easter eggs! This year we had a Star Wars theme, go figure! Easter Sunday was an exciting day for our church because it was the public launch of our League City campus! Our family is committed to helping in that effort. Tom is the head parking guy and in charge of signs and I am teaching 3-5 grade Sunday school! We had over 300 in attendance at a local elementary school where we will be meeting for another couple of years. After church we had Mexican, yum! Then home to see if the Easter Bunny had come! The boys had fun hunting eggs both inside and out and got some fun gifts too! Andrew was especially fond of his new Bible! How awesome! :)

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." Matthew 28:6

Hoping to have more Easter pics in a slideshow below...

Spring Break Fun!

We kicked off Spring Break with a fun day at Kemah with friends! Then Tom's sister and brother-in-law, Aunt Tammy and Uncle Big Tom, came for 4 exhausting days of Kemah, Rodeo, Schlitterbaun, and Eggstravaganza! Wow what a fun week! :)

Check at the bottom of the blog for a slideshow of Spring Break Fun 3 '08 for lots of pics! Enjoy!

A true Texan!

My youngest son has a twang! Yes, he really does and I think it is SO cute! He was born here, so I think he is entitled! Hope you get a chance to hear it! :)

Under Construction

Lutheran South Academy had its annual Gala to raise money for the school. This year they are raising money for new classrooms and all the furnishings! It is always a super fun evening with yummy eats, great conversation, silent and live auctions! We walked away with a PINK watch for me, basket of TY animals and Webkinz for the boys, and a Home Depot basket filled with lots of wood projects that I am saving for when you visit, DAD! :) Praise God, LSA raised $114,000! The evening's theme was "Under Construction". I have been thinking that we are all "Under Construction". God is constantly at work in our lives molding and shaping us to be the son or daughter he made. My prayer is that we seek to be under God's construction always! "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building." 1 Corinthians 3:9

Too cute!

Here is one of my favorite recent pics of Colton! I just love it when their little personality starts to shine! He is a real mix of Andrew and Braden, the serious side of Andrew and the silly side of Braden! :)

Just keep swimming!

In the middle of March we had a great day with friends swimming! Andrew and his friend Lauren swam for 5 hours straight! It was way to chilly for the grown-ups but the kids loved it! I throughly enjoyed wearing a sweater and taking pics! :)

Perseverance

After a lot of hard work, fun times, and much perseverance Andrew earned his Wolf Badge for Cub Scouts! We are proud of you Andrew! Way to go!

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
