Happy Easter Weekend!

Be sure and check back on Sunday and I will load our Easter weekend pics for all to see. We are going to Brian's Aunt Susans on Sunday with the boys to celebrate Easter. We always do baskets here at home and at Aunt Susans. Even though Elijah is almost 12 your never too old for Easter baskets from Mommy! Hopefully next year we will have found a church we like and want to be a part of to take the kids too but this year we have not found one yet. It amazes me how many people could care less about church all year until Easter and then they show up. They did a poll of kids ages 6-14 and only 20 percent of them knew the reason we have Easter and the incredible signifigance behind it. That is sad! A little less Easter Bunny and a little more understanding of the ultimate sacrifice that was given for us would make a big difference. Take time this weekend to educate your children about this holiday and the importance if has on everyones life even those who don't believe would not have some of the things they do without it. Jesus gave everything he had left, including his life, so we might live, so maybe if we gave just a little to someone else instead of ourselves we could make a difference in their lives as well. "If you give unto the least of these you have given unto me..."

Happy Birthday (Early) to Zane!

Aunt Katie and Uncle Ronnie gave Zane his four wheeler (battery operated, not engine) a couple of weeks early and Papaw Jim brought it to him. He loves it!! We had been wanting to get him one but had some other things to do first so we were thrilled! It just took a few minutes and he had it figured out! His party is on April 25th. Invites went out today so you will get yours soon!

Just his size!

I didn't have my camera with the video on it at the time so I will video him next time he is on it. He did really well. He gets on it by himself and goes but the steering is not quite where it should be yet. He's still only 2 you know!

Brian, Papaw Jim, and Zane

WALT DISNEY WORLD!

I have added a link on the sidebar to Walt Disney World Vacations planning website. They are offering a book 4 night and get 3 more nights for free deal through August! I got an email from them with a value resort on site for 2 adults and 2 kids for 7 nights for $1,400. That included tickets and lodging. I don't think it has ever been that reasonable as long as I can remember. I have been many times but it has been a long time since my last visit. We are going to try to take the boys this year before the deal runs out but I am not sure when. If you have ever wanted to go now is the time!!

Playdate with Uncle Randy!

Brian's friend Randy and his family came into town on Friday evening to stay for a week. They live in the Tampa area in Florida. He and Brian have been friends since they were about 18 years old. We don't get to see them as often as we would like since they have moved but we try to spend as much time with them as possible when they are here. They have 2 boys like we do, Taylor (almost 9), and Cameron (almost 5). Zane got a kick out of rolling the ball to him and watching him act silly. Watching adults humiliate themself for the entertainment of kids is always funny!! But, we all have to do it from time to time!
