Good Friday

On Good Friday my mom brought the kiddos to my class Easter party and they had a GREAT time. Evan and Eden both love to be outside so they were in their element. Once they realized that the eggs were filled with candy...they would not hunt anymore.....they just wanted to see what was in the eggs that they had.

Hunting eggs and seeing bunnies and baby chicks during Easter is fun for any child but Eric and I feel it is very important to teach our children to real reason for Easter. Here are a few stories that show us that our two little ones are already learning the real meaning.

If you are ever around Evan you know that he is quite a talker. He can say just about anything, his vocabulary is very extensive and his voice is very clear. Well, for a while when you ask him "Who Died on the Cross?" he will answer, "Jesus!" Now, he will also tell you that "Jesus is Alive!" Also, this past week a lady was talking to him in Wal-Mart and asking him if he could talk...he looks up at her and says, "Jesus Loves Me!" the lady (looking very surprised) says, "Yes, he does."

Eden does not talk near as much as Evan but sometimes she surprises us. My parents have a display of crosses above their bed that the kids are fascinated with and after her bath the other night she looks up at the crosses and says, "Oh Jesus!" just as plain as ever.

Eric and I believe that it is very important to begin teaching your children about Jesus from the very beginning... and as you can see from the stories above that even though they are small they are not to little to learn about Jesus' LOVE!

Children of God

Third Day has an awesome new music video out that describes how we are all Children of God because he has adopted us into his heavenly family. Check it out and I promise that you will not be disappointed.

Big Buck?

Evan loved riding the "Big Buck" ...but I think he was twice as big as the deer! So funny!

Spring is in the Air!

What a Sweet Little Girl!

He looks so handsome!

He was trying to give his Sis a hug...So Sweet!

It is hard to get a picture of them together...Good Job Eric!

Run Eric Run

This past weekend Eric and I participated in the Susan G. Komen Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Dallas. I ran the relay marathon with a friend and Eric ran his first ever half marathon.

I started the race with Eric and passed off to my running partner at mile 7.1 but Eric kept going for another 6 miles. After I finished my part of the relay, I got on the Dart Train and was able to make it back to the finish line to see Eric when he crossed. My parents had brought Evan and Eden to the finish line to meet me so we were all there to cheer him on.

I have to say that when I could see him coming near the finish line I got a little emotional. I was very proud of him and all of his hard work. The kids faces just lite up when they saw him coming and Evan was waving and yelling, "Daddy!" I was very glad that we were there.

Here is a video that my dad took as Eric was coming close to the finish line.

Way to Go Eric! We are proud of you!
