easter 2012

hello everyone....jesus is risen!!!!

easter sunday

sissy and poppy with the grand boys...i mean really...look at those cousins holding hands!!!

making dinosaur eggs...

kissing his stegosaurus egg...

hunting for eggs in daddy's garden

finding the cross in the egg

finding the empty white egg...

he is risen indeed!!!! what a wonderful easter weekend we had. it was beautiful weather and tyler is old enough to understand what easter is all about....JESUS!!!!! chad had the idea to do resurrection egg this year---and i had the idea to do dinosaur eggs :) chad hid the eggs (6 with candy and 6 with the symbols that talk about the days leading up to jesus' death and his resurrection. then once tyler found the eggs he opened them one by one and chad explained what each symbol in the egg meant. then when tyler got to the last egg--which was white and empty---tyler opened it and he said "there's nothing in it" and chad said--do you know why tyler? then tyler said in a really loud voice and raised his hands "jesus is risen!!!!" i got tears in my eyes at how the holy spirit is already working on his sweet little heart. god is so good!!!!!!!!!!! praise jesus!!!

new stuff...camping

playing on the blow-up mattress...

tyler sitting in the cozy lounge chair in the big bear camper

i'm not sure...but i think this could have been me 32 years ago....

so excited to take a walk around lake lavon...hum...what kind of animals am i going to see...

helping us put up the tent....really??????

really look at this picture---who is looking at the directions and seem to be figuring this tent thing out...then notice the by-standard

we had all sorts of fun camping...we found a park with a slide

we hung like a monkey on the monkey-bars

we slid down a pole like a fire fighter

we looked at the sky with grand dad

we played soccer with nana

we went fishing

we hiked around the lake...well kind of...

we found dinosaur tracks....t-rex to be specific

we found bugs

we played with bugs

we had so much fun..................

that we fell asleep on nana while eating....

sweet sweet little baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well...i've been kind of busy...obviously since the last time i updated this was fall of last year. i don't even really know where to start but i'll just add some photos. after 9 years....cw has finally talked me into....camping...yes...you heard right. it worked out perfectly because nana and grand dad had their camper at lake lavon and tyler was able to sleep with them, nana and grand dad cooked for us and we had a clean restroom! so mama was happy!!! cw and i just slept in the tent by ourselves which was actually not too bad. kind of cool actually hearing the bugs and seeing the stars. the weather was perfect and it was a really nice time. alert the media because i even acknowledged that i would do it again. thanks nana and grand dad for the use of your camper and for being wonderful babysitters!!!!
