Easter Sunday

This Easter is extra special for me, it seems that everywhere I look, I can see blessing upon blessing. I recently gave my testimony at a Christian Women's Club here in Worland, and a teenage girl that was there made a decision to accept Christ- how amazed I was that God used me in such a way! John was recently elected chairman of the Republican Party for Washakie County, politics is a great passion of his. What an influential place that God has placed him, a place from which to shine the light of the Lord! The MOPS ministry is holding strong, and John was recently nominated to become a deacon in our church- what an honor and a blessing to serve God in our church and community. I am constantly amazed at how clearly I can see God's protective hand on us right now. With the economy unsteady as it is, and the newspaper each week listing more and more home forclosures, some of people we know- what a miracle it is that God has protected our income, and John is working at a job that he loves! The winds of change are always blowing, but what confidence we have in the Lord, confidence that come what may, we rest in his mighty hand!

Favorite picture of the kids- ever.

They are growing up so fast, it's hard to notice day to day, until I see a picture of them all together, I don't know where the time has gone!

Benjamin liked smelling the flowers at church.

Our yard- spring is here! The picture is deceiving- the rest of the yard is totally brown!







Egg Hunt

It was such a beautiful day, the kids got to hunt eggs outside for the first time EVER! It's usually cold and snowy, the nice weather kept them entertained all day re-hiding the eggs! The boys even hid them for me and John, I didn't realize how competitive we are- serious egg hunters I guess!

Heidi and Daddy look for eggs, she was so sleepy- it was a short game!

A New Hair Do For Heidi Do...


Heidi has a new hairstyle thanks to William. He had cut most of the back off before I realized what was going on- thankfully, it was still pretty salvagable! All's well that ends well right?! It looks cute of course!

Karate Tournament

William and John had a Karate tournament a couple of weeks ago. William won a medal in breaking and self defense. He was a great sport, and we all had a great time cheering him on!
