Easter 2011
















Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Today we celebrated the ultimate sacrifice, Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. During the past few weeks we have gone over the resurrection eggs with the kids and the have a pretty good grasp on it. As long as they know what Easter is about, I can let them find eggs and eat candy and celebrate in the fun.

Easter morning the kids awoke to Easter eggs scattered through the house. After eating lots of sugar it was time for church. We went to the Stratford church to be with Mark’s family and to see church friend's. Ila is an elderly lady that adores my kids. She sends cards and gifts for the kids. I send her pictures and the kids' drawings. She loves them so much she is always sending thank yous with lots of personal notes. The kids give her hugs and I know she misses us not coming to that church anymore. During our annual photo of the cousins, Luke was being a ham. He was smelling the lilies, then he decided to show off his belly. Then he got the idea to show off his birth mark on his side. Everyone was laughing so hard! He is such a funny kid. Following church, we had lunch at Karen and Orrie’s with all the families. Ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, yummy sides, and desserts were on the menu. Karen can cook like no other. Our day was a bit rushed as it was on to my side of the family. This very Easter happened to fall on my mother’s birthday. We were at her house by 4 for an Easter egg hunt in the yard. It was sunny and trying to be warm out, but still a bit chilly. Mom had dinner and yummy cupcake party desserts. My tummy was overloaded with sugar by the end of the day. The kids played with cousin Alivia and we sang Happy Birthday to Mawgee.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
