Visiting Sami & James

On Saturday, me, my mom, Abby, Caleb, Emily, and her friend Amelia went to Brainerd to visit Sami and James, and make a quick visit to the cemetery to put flowers down for Danny.
It was a nice day!  The kids had a blast, and they wall want to take home a pet bunny. Ha-Ha.  We didn't get home until around 11pm, and that is a late night for me...  ;)

Friday night the girls made enchiladas for dinner, and boy were they good!  And easy to make.  It just might be a new family fave at our house.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures, it was a fun time.

Happy, Happy, Happy

Easter 2014

He has risen!
He has risen indeed!

We went to my parents house for Easter.  Jon and Kaitlyn hid the eggs so the younger kids could find them.  The dogs had fun, but Juno ate too much and was sick the next 2 days.. 
The food was excellent, as my mom made Grandma Lillie's famous ham gravy, and my sister made her famous chocolate cake!  Everything else was yummy too!

We didn't color eggs this year, nor did we do a lot of baking like last year.  But that's OK.  Its not about the food anyway.

Jesus conquered death.  And because He conquered death, we are given HOPE and if we BELIEVE, we WILL have everlasting life with our Heavenly Father.  What a precious gift.

Snowstorms and Baseball all in one month!

Wowza, what a month April has been!

We got about 10" of snow in one day, although it melted quickly, it was still pretty amazing.
Caleb's baseball is off and running full speed ahead, games coming quickly!!
It will be fun to see how his traveling team does.  He is excited.  I think spring may be here for real this time, although its chilly and rainy.  They do say April showers bring May flowers, so there ya go.  :)
Oh, and Emily got new glasses....sooo cute.  Not sure if I put that pic on already or not, but right now I am too lazy to look, so if I did, oh well.  Enjoy it again.  Ha ha.

Couldn't get close enough, but all those spots are ROBINS,

we had a TON of them in our yard

See the dotting the tree?  Sure sign of Spring!!

Is she a dork or what?
