It is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8

Egg Decorating

Sunday night we decorated eggs at my sisters house! The kids had lots of fun decorating together - Emma, Lauren, Madison, Mason and Jaxson-they all get along so well! I feel so blessed to belong to such a wonderful family :) 
(And a big thanks to Mindy and Chris for letting us do it at their house!)


All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.It is by his great mercy that we have been born again,because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless
inheritance-an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you,pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power
until you receive his salvation, which is ready to be revealedon the last day for all to see. 1 Peter 1:3-5

Hey Dad, Look What I Can Do!!!

If you are faithful in little things, 
you will be faithful in large ones.
Luke 16:10

Letter of the Week- A

I have started doing fun activities with Lauren to learn/recognize different letters of the alphabet. We take one letter a week and do fun activities and read books that correspond with the letter for that week.
This past week was the letter A!

Fun with paint

May the Lord richly bless both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth. The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to all humanity. Psalm 115:14-16

Movies & Books

Last Friday the girls didn't have school so we went to see 

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules


...it was funny and entertaining! We really enjoyed the first movie and this one was just as good-such a great movie for kids! While we were there they showed a preview for this coming to theaters June 10

Judy Moody And The Not Bummer Summer
 


...it looks so good! I love that they are making family movies from these great books. Of course we had to go out and buy

and we ordered this

Emma is looking forward to another great series of books to read and Lauren is already requesting me to read them to her!

One last thing-we absolutely LOVE the movie Ramona and Beezus! We have watched it seriously a million times and never get tired of it. We were very excited to see a sequel coming to theaters in September! 

Happy watching....and reading! :)
