The Bunny

Disclaimer: Kinnick was not included in these pictures with the real bunny per his own decision. Personally, I think he was having too much trouble getting over the fact that there was a person inside the Easter Bunny suit and therefore boycotted the actual bunny.

Good Friday

A couple of art pieces I provided for our Good Friday church service.



We wish you a Happy Easter to come, and hope you all remember the true meaning of Easter and what God's only Son sacrificed for us in days prior.

We honored Jesus by attending a wonderful Good Friday service at the Vineyard Community Church and watching Passion later that night.

God bless.

In Like a Lion???

Well, there's nothing like several inches of snow in the last week of March. The kids absolutely loved it and we had a great time sledding, making snow men, and.......riding bikes. Though the snowman didn't last long, it was fun getting to the final product.

Of course, before you get the bikes and the jeep out you have to clear the snow from the driveway.

And what's snow in March without sledding!

New Cake Entry!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, the boys' shirts say "I'm No Lucky, I'm Good".


We had a great St. Patty's night as the weather was beautiful and we were able to eat outside on the screened in porch. And much to the surprise of the kids, they were able to enjoy a St. Patty's Dr. Seuss special.......Green Eggs and Ham.

But we didn't just stop at Green Eggs and Ham. We had green milk.

And for our fruit, green applesauce!

It was a fabulous idea by Mommy and the kids really enjoyed it.

Third Day & Brandon Heath!!!!!!

So a few weeks ago, I was driving home from Cedar Rapids and heard this great song called "Revelation" by Third Day. I have downloaded other Third Day songs and knew how great they were but this song just really struck a chord with me (no pun intended). I could really relate to the lyrics because I constantly feel like I'm asking what should I do, give me a sign. So I came home and said to Brian, "I just heard this great song and if the next time Third Day comes to this area, we're going". Well, given how great of a memory my wonderful husband has, sure enough when I opened my birthday present, there were two tickets to see Third Day at the Adler Theatre in Davenport! Now Brian had heard their songs I'm sure, but didn't know exactly which songs were theirs so he was excited to go hear them too. But he had no idea, nor did I, how absolutely awesome it would be!

When we walked in, I saw this big sign with Brandon Heath on it and couldn't believe how lucky we were to be able to hear both Brandon Heath and Third Day. We bought a Third Day tshirt then went to our seats, which were great, 8th row and of course, we forgot our camera. That really sucked because we could have gotten some sweet pictures, especially when they did this great acoustical set and we're all sitting together on the stage.

Anyway, it was an unbelievable concert, I've never been to a Christian Rock concert and it was amazing the energy in the room. Mac Powell (lead singer for Third Day) lead a powerful prayer time at the end and ended the concert singing Revelation. In the words of Randy Jackson, "Da Bomb Baby"!

Here is a picture of Brandon Heath and I that Brian took with his camera phone. Not the best quality but at least we got one good picture! Brandon Heath and the other opening band from Australia called Revive were out in the lobby after their sets signing autographs and taking photos. BTW, we bought the Revive CD and they are really good. If anyone wants to borrow the CD, let me know!

Thanks to my hubby for a wonderful night out. This sounds sappy, but the concert was just so great, all I kept thinking this morning was "Did it really happen?"
