He is RISEN!!!!

We LOVED the Easter Sunrise Service!  The fog was awesome!  Something I took away from the Pastor's sermon that morning that I had never thought about before is this:  He rose and that is a FACT!  We need to get on with sharing this message!  Prophecy has been fulfilled over and over again....After Jesus died the chief priests and pharisees gathered together with Pilate and said that they remembered Jesus saying that after three days he would rise again...so Pilate gave orders for the tomb to be guarded day and night.  Its interesting to me that those that "mocked him", "put him to death" even believed that he would rise again and believed that prophesy would be fulfilled!

Spring Break Camping

Camping is one of our favorite pastimes...its one of the best memories I have as a child with my own family and John fit right into that when we got married.  He loves it and is so good at it!  We convinced some of our best friends of pop up camping after they borrowed our camper...now they are hooked too!  We went Spring Break Camping at Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park on Lake Blackshear for two nights and three days with the Brewers...it was tons of fun.  The campground was beautiful and the sites were huge.  It had this great big loop around the campsites that was awesome for the kids to ride bikes.  We could see them all the way around.  They liked the freedom to come and go!  The pollen was nuts but we had a great time.  We rented a pontoon boat for two hours and rode around Lake Blackshear.  All the kids got to drive!  Camping is a funny thing...most people hate it or love it but sometimes people that you wouldn't at all think might be interested catch the bug...some of our Sunday School class at church (who are all on FB and seen our pictures) are bugging us now to take them camping....they can't stop talking about it.  We have been reading some books and studying in class together scripture about the love of God and its funny how the theme of "getting back to the basics and not conforming to this world" has become very important to so many and somehow camping fits into all that!  John said, "You mean you want me to go camping with "................"  I won't name her but she is a prissy type that you wouldn't think would want to be in the woods....and I said YES!!!!  Let's show them how much fun it is!  So a camping trip with about 5 other families that have never camped in their life is in the works.....FUN FUN!!!!!

My precious Molly~One Year Old!

Molly has been a delight!  She turned one on March 20th!  We celebrated pretty much the entire month of March by doing all kinds of fun things and she was such a trooper!  She has fit into our family perfectly and loves to be on the go....all the time!!!!  Backing up a little bit...her delivery was awesome...I had my first c-section with her due to complications that I had delivering J.D.  I was soooo nervous but it went so smoothly.  A friend was my nurse and that calmed me down a lot.  The c-section went right on time, Dr. McAlpine is awesome and the recovery was easy!  I was up and at em immediately....I say this all the time...not much can be worse to me than throwing up for 9 months so a little pain in the belly after the c-section was nothing.  Molly has grown into a thriving toddler.  She is my smallest baby though...she only weighs 18 lbs but that doesn't stop her at all.  She says Dada, God (dog), oh oh, sign language for more and please, ma ma when she feels like it....and laughs and squeals!  We celebrated by having our close friends and family out to Maclay Gardens for a BBQ.  John and I catered and we really did feel like caterers...it was hard work but so yummy if I do say so myself.  It was a gorgeous day and we had so much fun!!!  Our little cupcake turned ONE.....can't believe it...BOO HOO!!!!!
