Pictures

Okay, I really wanted to post some Easter pics, but for some reason I can't find the file on my computer...stressing right now because I think I deleted some of my Easter pics from my camera!!! At any rate, below are some pics from Trent's cousin's wedding this past weekend. It was so beautiful! Congratulations Jeremy and Laura and thank you for letting us be a part of it! (Brayden was the bell ringer and Trent was a groomsman)

Spring Break/Happy Easter

Last week was a lot of fun! It was chaotic, but fun. We had a lot of family time doing nothing but painting, cooking, reading and watching movies.
On Thursday my newest nephew was born! Nolan James was 8 lbs 5 ozs and 21 inches long! He's such a cutie! He looks more like Carrigan than Weston. I'll post some pictures later.
On Friday night, Brayden and I made Resurrection cookies! If you have never made them and have children, grandchildren, or a young Sunday School group this might be something fun to do! Check out the recipe online http://www.annieshomepage.com/resurrectioncookies.html Needless to say, Brayden can still tell you parts of the story about Jesus' death, burial and resurrection! We definitely have a little Peter as when we were discussing how the men beat Jesus, he kept saying he wanted to hit those mean men and was swinging the wooden spoon that we were using to break the pecans up. At any rate, I just highly recommend this activity for the lesson (and the cookies aren't too bad...they taste kind-of like divinity)
Saturday we spent the day coloring and hunting Easter Eggs. We had an egg hunt at our church at 2 and then we went to my grandad's for dinner and had yet another hunt.
Sunday morning we went to church, then had lunch with my family and dinner with Trents. And of course...2 more Easter egg hunts! I'll have to post pictures later, but the boys were so cute in their matching outfits!

New Adventure...

Okay, so I've decided that I want to take advantage of this whole looking for money thing by selling the things that I love to do. I am currently starting a blog where I can give some previews of the things that I can do...ie: photography, cakes, and gifts (baskets and such)...if you are interested, you can check out the blog that I've started goodiesnmore.blogspot.com I'm not sure if this will take off or not, but if it does, hopefully I will create a website for it in the future. I haven't quite decided on pricing for the photography, so if you're interested check with me and we'll see what we can work up. Once I come up with something I will post it on the other blog!

Update on the homefront: Trent still hasn't found a job, but God is good and has provided me with opportunities to do some overtime at work and make some extra money! Brayden is doing great (without the 2nd set of tubes!) Asher is doing wonderful (with the 1st set of tubes!) All in all God is Good and Blesses us each and every day...we just have to take the time to Open our Eyes and see it!
