Bethany

Well, what can I say? When you have two older children they tend to influence the baby! This is what Bethany liked best about Alvin and the Chipmunks! ALVIN....

I have moved her video to the bottom of the blog if you want to see it! W

Plum Tuckered!


Tuesday is a long day for Bethany, she has school and then after we picked up the boys it was time for Jacob's piano lesson. Today we walked a mile and a half while we were waiting. When we got home at 5 o'clock she crawled into Mark's lap just to rest and this is how I found her a few minutes later!

Bible Drill

Jacob has finished competing in Bible Drill for the Church level and Associational level. He will proceed to State on April 26th. At Associational level he scored perfect - 24 calls. 25 verses, 10 key passages & locating any book in the Bible in 10 seconds. Can you find the Faith Chapter in 10 seconds? I will even give you the location - Hebrews 11...GO!

Happy Easter


We hope that you all had a great Easter. We were able to celebrate Easter Sunday with my parents and, for the first time in many years, my older brother and his family.
It was a really fun weekend after a great spring break. Drew had baseball camp, the kids went fishing with Mark one day, we didn't do much for spring break, just kept busy. The biggest highlight for spring break was Jake's 12th birthday! We spent the day in Austin ... but I didn't think to take any pictures!

Easter Weekend

Abigail Morgan and Bethany had fun filling their baskets at the church's Hallalujah Egg Hunt.
As you can see from Bethany's bucket there were a ton of eggs for all the kids.
Our church traditionally tells the Easter story to the children after the egg hunt. They use the plastic eggs with Easter symbols to help tell the children. They aren't supposed to be eating candy at this point, but if you look at Bethany you will notice her hand hovering in her basket, ready to get the next piece! Once they got to the part of the Lord's Supper they gave the kids juice boxes and a piece of bread to allow them to participate. I thought that was a great way to teach younger children about communion.
My brother Rob, his wife and children traveled from Houston to join us for Easter this year. So on Saturday all the kids dyed eggs. Here is Rob, Jake, Wendi, Bethany, Katie & Drew.
Bethany really liked making PINK eggs, I think when we were done over half of the eggs were pink or purple.
