Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everybody!



And this is what the Easter bunny brought for the kids. Her name is Ginny the Guinea Pig.


Our church had their Easter egg hunt last Sunday. There were hunderds of eggs! We also played a few games including a sack race, dizzy bat, and egg baseball. We tried to play the egg and spoon race but apparently the eggs I bought were unbreakable! They would just bounce so the competition went on and on forever. It was a beautiful day and we had a great turn out. Thank you to everyone who helped!!

Today, we all went down to Benton to go church with my parents at the church where I grew up. It's always good to back. Today they had a record crowd of over 600 people! It's so awesome to be able to say that there wasn't an empty seat in the church building. If only it could be like that every Sunday!

After lunch, the kids hunted Easter eggs in my parents' front yard.

What's Been Going On...

Spring Break

During Spring Break a few weeks ago, we all went down to my parent's lakehouse in Hot Springs. We had one warm, sunny day that we were able to spend on the lake, but the other days were cold and rainy. We also got to up the Hot Springs tower.

Ladies' Night and Day 2011

Every other year, our church hosts a Ladies' Day. This year our theme was "Who Am I: Finding my Place in the Church" and the speaker was Michelle Kilmer. We had around 100 ladies attend. It was an incredible day!

The night before, we had our Ladies' Night for just the women of our congregation. The theme was The Wild, Wild West. Everyone showed up in the hats and boots and we dined on BBQ and beans. We also had a Gold Rush relay race, a few people who were "Wanted", and a purse hunt game. I wish I had been able to get more pictures to show everyone how much fun we had. It was such a great night of bonding that I don't know if I can wait another 2 years until our next one!

Camp Wyldewood 2011

Every spring our church has a retreat at Camp Wyldewood in Searcy. This is something that we put on our calendar and look forward to for months! This year was one of the best. We had awesome weather and a really good turn out. We fished, ate, played games until 3 in the morning, rode four wheelers, hiked, swam, and just spent the weekend with our Christian family and friends. And to top it off, some good friends of ours that had moved to Texas made a surprise visit late Friday night. None of us were ready to leave yesterday afternoon. Once again I didn't take many pictures, but I believe that this weekend created memories that we will never forget!
