Hallelujah, What a Savior!

We just had a wonderful Easter Sunday celebrating Jesus Our Savior. On Saturday night, I went to the Passion Play at Oakland Baptist Church in Corinth, MS. It was a wonderful performance that really made this Easter special for me. It's so important to be reminded of how Jesus paid the ultimate price for our salvation. Sunday morning the preacher said that 64 people had already received Christ as their Savior during the first two performances and there were still two more performances to go. Praise God!
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! I John 3:1
Here are a few pictures from our weekend in Corinth. If you're wondering why Tanner is MIA, it's because he had to work all weekend. He was the only thing missing from our wonderful Easter.
Our little bunnies!


Lindsay's hands after dying eggs

The Easter Bunny came to our house before we left for Corinth so Tanner could be with us when the girls got their baskets.



We got to see Tanner's sister Leesa's little baby Will while we were in Corinth. He and Gracie were sweet little bunnies together.

Easter morning before and after church - I wasn't able to get a good picture of the girls before church since my photo assistant Tanner was working. My dad got one of the three of us after church that was decent though.



Lindsay and Gracie with my nieces Kate and Sadie. They are so sweet to my girls, and Lindsay and Gracie just LOVE them! They all had fun hunting eggs together.

I snapped this picture after the girls' naps yesterday. I just thought it was so cute!

Easter Egg Hunts

We have been to two Easter Egg Hunts in the last two days. Yesterday, there was a lunch and an egg hunt after church at Brainerd Baptist. Lindsay had fun finding the eggs, but she was really more interested in what was inside them than anything else. She had had WAY too much chocolate by the time it was all over. Gracie loved eating the eggs and digging them out of the basket. She was all smiles!




Today we had an Easter Egg Hunt with our playgroup. Tanner was off so Gracie stayed home with him since the shindig was taking place during her morning nap. Lindsay and I had a great time though! Here are some pics for you to enjoy!

Hunting eggs! We decided no candy, but Lindsay still found some fun things inside her eggs, like bouncy balls and hair clips.

A Fun Weekend

This weekend our friends from Florence, AL, the Smiths, came to visit us. Ashley and Micah have two little girls also, Abigail and Mollie. Ashley and I had not seen each other in over a year so we were so excited to finally be able to get together. On Monday, we took the girls to the TN Aquarium. The girls had a great time! They also had fun each night when they all piled into the tub together. Poor little Gracie just had to watch. She'll be joining them before too long!

Build A Bear

Yesterday, we made out first trip to the Build-A-Bear Workshop. A few weeks ago, I noticed that I was constantly correcting Lindsay about the same things. We made a chart for her to earn stars when she did the things she was supposed to do, like follow directions the first time, staying seated while eating, asking politely, etc. She has worked SOOOOO hard and her reward was going to Build-A-Bear. She had a wonderful time and was so cute selecting her bear and dressing it up.

We tried on about 10 outfits before we found the perfect one.


All done and ready to go!


Meet Furry!

Cutie Pie!

Our little Gracie is really getting a personality! She is such a SWEET baby. She has just started pulling up on things and cruising. Here are a few pictures that I've gotten the last week of her standing. As you can see, she gets very excited and is very proud of herself!




This one is my very favorite!
