He is Risen!

Easter weekend was great here in the Ozarks! The weather ended up being beautiful! Friday our church had a Good a Friday service where the focus was Christ's death. On Saturday we went with friends to our neighborhood association egg hunt. Lots of eggs and goodies were had! Sunday morning we had 2 services and a church wide brunch in between. We had 2 other young families over for lunch whose families were far away too. Lots of laughter and silly kiddos running around.

Midwestern Seminary Chapel

Spencer had the honor and privilege to preach at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City this week. He preached on the supremecy of Christ. Afterwards we had lunch with the provost (a good friend of Spencer's) and 3 deans of different departments. I could not be more proud to be his wife! Here is a link to watch his sermon on the Supremecy of Christ online: https://vimeo.com/123232444

February love and snow

Our first big snow of 2015! The last snow we really got was back in November, the week of Thanksgiving. Considering the snowpocolypse we got last year here at the lake, I've been waiting and waiting for lots of snow. But we went the whole month of January with no snow. Weird! Here we are half way through February and we finally got some play-worthy snow! (about 3-5 inches). The boys loved it of course! Seth also had his preschool Valentine's party on Feb. 13th complete with a chocolate fountain to dip strawberries, bananas and marshmallows into! We have the best room moms this year!

Seth's 5th birthday

Wasn't this big guy just born?! And is he really going to be in Kindergarten this fall?! Seth is 5?! He loved waking up to balloons all over his bedroom floor! (Thanks Pintrest!) This guy loves school, his friends, family, playing outside, books, legos, ninja turtles, rescue bots. He is slowing learning to sound out words and read during our reading time together. He also prides himself in knowing how to write his name and draw stick figures! This room will look vastly different come March. As He and Noah will start sharing a room! Seth is so excited! Seth also had a small birthday party at our church with his school and church friends.

Noah's 2nd birthday

Cannot believe our sweet Noah is 2! By now he's almost 2 1/2 but better late than never I guess. He is talking so much and really showing his desire for independence. He is also so lovey. He loves hugs, cuddles, kisses, sitting in your lap, reading books, puzzles and more puzzles, and playing with Seth. When he sits still long enough for TV he likes Blue's Clues, Daniel Tiger, and Bubble Guppies. Noah had a fun, low key mickey mouse party with family and a few friends. It was still warm enough to play outside and have a few 2 yr old pictures taken.
