My View

About a week and a half ago we took Cannon to the beach for his first Beach Day of 2010. The weather was great, the water freezing!! Cannon and Brett spent the majority of their time in the cold water.

He really enjoyed himself. I layed in my beach chair most of the time and enjoyed the view.


My boys.


Not much of a view!

Beach Babe. He loves the beach!!

Passion of the Christ from a Two Year Old

well, i have a cute video for this. but it will not load. maybe one day.

Resurrection Cookies

On Saturday night, we made resurrection cookies as a family. It was a lot of fun.


Cannon is beating the pecans with a wooden spoon to symbolize how Jesus was beaten by the Roman soldiers.


Daddy reading the scriptures as we complete each step.



Vinegar that Jesus was given to drink. Smells "yucky".


Salt to represent the bitterness of our sins.

Now for the "sweet" part of the story. That Jesus loves us so much that He died for us.

Everything gets mixed up! Notice color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus.

How sweet it is!

Our cookies. Each mound represents the tomb where Jesus body was laid.

Sealing the tomb.

This morning (Easter Sunday) when we woke up, the cookies are ready to eat. They are "hollow" or empty just like the tomb because Jesus has RISEN and He is ALIVE!

Old Fort Egg Hunt

Our church pre-school ministry hosted an Egg Hunt on Friday. Here is a our cute little boy after the hunt.

Resurrection Eggs

It was really important for us that Cannon learn the true meaning of Easter. We have several books we have been reading and we took it a step further with a a few actitivities over the last few days.

I started searching a few weeks ago for Easter ideas and I found the idea to do resurrection eggs. So last week we invited a few friends over and the Moms made the eggs while the kids played.

Cannon and I read the scripture and talked about the eggs on Friday and Saturday.


Here are our eggs. (We chose to only do six eggs...better for little attention spans).

This rope represents that fact that Jesus was arrested and beaten.

The cross that Jesus was forced to carry and then...

nails that were placed in his hands and feet to hold him on the cross.

Three days later, the stone was rolled away...

and the tomb was EMPTY!

He is Risen! He is alive and I'm forgiven. Heavens gates are open wide. He's Alive! He's Alive!

Cannon can actually tell you what each symbol stands for too. Precious.

Bye, Bye Baby Chicks!

We said "good-bye, good-bye...good-bye, good-bye" to our two baby easter chicks Thursday. They needed to go back to the farm to "see their Mommy".
