Coloring Easter eggs at Nana's house.
Mom and dad even got in on the action:)

We hosted our first ever pancake breakfast
following our Easter Sunrise Service which we
held at 6:30 AM. I think everyone got past being
tired and were running on pure adrenyline. We
had a lot of fun as well as many new visitors.



Mark is always so happy to serve:)

More Pancake breakfast pictures.
Check out the pastor in his apron:)

Much fun was to be had at our first
churchwide Easter egg hunt. The teen
discovery kids hid about 500 + eggs all
around the inside of our new building.
I think even the "big" kids had fun too.

Eatser fun at church:) or should I say
mug shots at church.

MORE EASTER EGG HUNTING!

MORE EASTER EGG HUNTING!

So I'm on Spring Break this week and I decided to catch up my blog page. I thought for a moment that there were other things to take pictures of instead of snow, but that all changed today. Below you will see what I mean. Other than that, we are all doing fine. We have all put up with infuenza this winter, but we were already stuck in the house, so why not be sick too? Camryn is still a little stinker (but a funny one), Caitlyn is growing up way to fast (I can't even write about that or I will surely embarrass her), Sonny is once again coaching the spring girls soccer team. They had tryouts last week and have been having practice ever since (indoors or course being as there's still at least a foot of snow on the soccer fields.) They probably won't be able to play there first few games this year because of the snow, which really stinks. Have I mentioned that we are sick of the snow yet? It has been the longest winter ever and I really need to vent (or we need to go start another church somewhere in Jamaica:) I've been busy (as usual) with work, church, and college. Sonny and I were able to get away for about 24 hours and we went to Milwaukee to see a Steven Curtis Chapman concert. It was awesome and probably the best concert I have been to in a long time. A week later about 20 of us from the church went to Madison to see Casting Crowns, another great concert. Lately we've just been preparing for our Easter service this Sunday which is actually going to be our first sunrise service (6:30 AM). I'm not sure who decided on that time, but I just hope I make it:) We are also having a panckae breakfast following services. I will post Easter pictures next week. Better go for now, I really should be doing homework :( I hope everyone out there is doing well. We love and miss everyone so much (and we will take any offers to come and visit somewhere warm:)

Last Wednesday night we got home
from church really late (10:30), which
is very unusual for us, but Camryn was
still determined to stay up and see who
got kicked off of American Idol. As you
can see, she didn't make it, but was very
happy the next day when she found out
that "Rocker Chick" (Amanda) was finally
booted. I thought this picture was cute.

THE 1ST OFFICIAL DAY OF SPRING!

MARCH 20TH.



WE ARE FINALLY DEFROSTING:)



YES, THESE ARE ACTUALLY MY DAYLILLIES
STARTING TO BLOOM.



LOOK! DRY ROADS....YEAH!!!! AND SUNSHINE!

2nd official day of spring!



Another foot of snow:o So much for an egg
hunt outside this Easter.

Yes I took pictures of the TV. I was tired of
taking pictures of the snow. These were taken
one Sunday morning when we had frozen roads
and about 18 inches of snow hit us and we had
to cancel church services. These newscasts have
been pretty typical for the last 5 months.

SHOVELING OUT ONCE AGAIN :)

YUMMY SNOW!!!!!!!

DESPERATE FOR A COOK OUT!

This was taken just before Valentines
Day! They were good burgers though:)
It was only in the 20's that evening.
