Easter

We had fun this Easter! It was a great day. We had our first service in our new sancturary at church, followed by a great dinner!

The family is waithing to dig in!

The Easter Bunny came while we were at church.

Thank you Easter Bunny!

Then it was time for the egg hunt, even Belle got in on the action.

Birthday Celebrations

So, we went to Gatlinburg, TN the last weekend in March to celebrate Pierson and Sydney's birthday. Of course, no birthday is complete with chocolate cupcakes. We had a great time at the resort!

Pierson had been looking forward to the waterslides and they did not disappoint!

Even Sydney was brave enough to conquer the waterslides - and they were big! But Sydney loved them!

Of course, all had to try to body boarding and surfing. My boy is a natural!

Missions Conference

I know it has been a few weeks since I have posted updates, but I have several weeks worth below. We had been so busy preparing for and enjoying the mission conference. It was such a great week for me to get to know some of the missionaries that our chuch supports. These are the Vegas, the missionaries that Pete works with when he travels to Panama. He has always had wonderful things to say about them. They are awesome church planters that are doing great things in Panama. It was such a blessing to get to know them and spend so much time with them.

Pierson's choir sang on the fourth night of the conference. It was so great to hear the kids sing about serving Jesus!

This is the 1st grade choir!

First Pinewood Derby

Here it is - the first entry in the pine wood derby. We did okay, but learned a lot about making cars. Pete and Pierson are getting ready for next year.

Sydney's Big Day

So, Sydney was so excited to have her Daisy Girls Investure. This is the day that the girls become an official Daisy Girl. It was a much anticipate day and she learned the Girl Scout promise to become a Daisy.

Here she is, reciting the promise she worked so hard to learn.

After the ceremonies with her new Daisy Girl pin and her new friend, Jasmine.

More Snow!

Okay, okay, so this amount of snow is not so much of a big deal for you notherners, but for us it is a big deal. We had our second snow day at school this year. What a treat!

Bowling (that isn't Wii)!

So, we had our first time real bowling, thanks to another scout outing! The kids thought they would have it mastered, since they are so good at Wii bowling. They learned it was a bit harder but had a great time!

A score of 55 - not bad Pierson!

Even Sydney got a 65! The girl has skills - she beat all of the boys!
