Happy Easter















I hope you all had a great Easter. We had a really fun weekend. We actually started by dying eggs on Wednesday. Saturday we went to an egg hunt for Prestonwood North. Luke had fun doing sack races, egg races, and bouncing on the bounce house. Jake played games also, but had more fun cracking the eggs with his feet and sneaking the candy before the egg hunt. Sunday morning we gave the boys their Easter baskets, from us not the Easter Bunny, and went to church. We went to lunch at Don and Tricia's and had an egg hunt there. Then we stopped by to say hello to Scott's Papa Leflar. On we went to my aunt Debbie's house for dinner and yet another egg hunt. The funny thing about all of it is Jake would find the first egg, stomp on it, eat the candy and be finished. He loves his candy. Church was awesome and I am so thankful we are able to celebrate Easter and that Jesus rose again.

The start of spring break










What a great start to Spring Break..for Luke that is. We had never taken the boys to Rainforest Cafe and we had a gift card, so we thought what a fun idea. Jake hated it, if you can't tell. He spent the first half of our trip hanging as far over our shoulders as possible. He hated the gorilla that they sat us right under. Every time it went off he would freak out. Luke had so much fun. They did both enjoy the firecracker dessert. Seriously though $13 for a brownie and ice cream. My brownies taste much better than theirs, oh but I did eat it though. Have a good Spring Break.

Palm Sunday

Yesterday at our new church, Prestonwood North, we celebrated Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday was when Jesus rode into the city and people put there coats on the ground and praised him singing Hosannah. Well in church we were singing Hosannah, while this video played scenes of what it might have been like. All of the sudden I see palm branches waving down the middle isle. It was children and teachers waiving palm branches and singing. I don't know if the kids really new the exact words, but it did not matter. The thought of these innocent children praising Jesus and singing hosanna brought tears to my eyes. That is what it was like. No matter what, people just wanted to praise Jesus. Then as the song ends and the children are leaving I see that my precious Luke is one of the kids. All day yesterday he was waving his palm branch and singing Hosannah. He loves Jesus and that makes me so happy. We are really trying to stress what Easter means and this was a great way to start the week of Easter. If you do not have a church to go to, I would like to invite you to Prestonwood North. We love it. You can check out the web at prestonwood.org/north. Happy Easter Week. Let's all put our eyes on Jesus during this very special week.

It snowing in Prosper






So what a week it has been. Monday, the snow came hard in Prosper. Tuesday the snow melted in Prosper. Wednesday, it was 70 degrees in Prosper, Thursday it snowed and snowed and snowed in Prosper. I have never seen snow flakes that big. The boys had so much fun. It took Scott 2 hours to come home, so the boys were more than ready to go play. Jake just wanted to eat the chocolate chips we were using for the mouth. Yes, I know we were stretching for things to make a snowman. Who new we would get snow ever that much in Prosper.
