You even finished your book and 

rarely missed a week!

You did awesome!

You earned 303 Bible Bucks to 

"shop" at the "store" at church!

You were the ONLY Kindergartner that had close to that many points and you had more points than a lot of 1st graders and 2nd graders!

What will 303 Bible Bucks buy you??

A fishing pole.

A double slip n slide.

A water blaster water gun.

and a Nerf water football!

always treasure the verses

so you can keep God's Word in your heart!

JJ's Easter Garden

This is the Easter Garden that JJ made at school. 

 It has the cross and the tomb...the EMPYT tomb; Hallelujah!

Next year, I'd like to make a stick figure and hang it on the tree on Good Friday, on Saturday put it in the tomb (the far right) and then take it out on Sunday morning!  

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! 

I love you two more than anyone in the world!

Daddy and I pray for you to let Jesus live in your heart

all the time!

He Lives!

Kool-Eggs to Dye

We told Hannalee we were going to dye the eggs.

She started crying and crying!

She did NOT want to dye eggs...we couldn't imagine what in the world was wrong with her?!

I told she didn't have to but we still didn't know why she was crying about

dying the eggs for Easter.

But once we got the eggs out of the fridge and got the kool-aid 

packages she thought it looked fun!

They had a great time. Anytime you dye eggs its a mess

but at least with koolaid it smelled better than the

vinegar mess!

After awhile we somehow realized that Hannalee 

thought we were going to do something horrible and bad (die) to the

eggs we had put in the incubator to hatch out!

THAT is why she had cried.  Poor baby...thought we were 

going to kill the eggs that we were trying to turn into chicks!

Horses

Egg Hunt

Hannalee. Bennett. Nails. Braums.

All in THAT order....

Hannalee had such a good week at school that she got to invite her friend Bennett to go with her to get nails done.  At Walmart.  Bennett started this "tradition" a couple of months ago.  I wouldn't normally have planned on taking Hannalee to the nail salon....what have we've started now???

So they just get a polish change ($10) and then for $5 extra they get designs on their nails.  

Polka dots it is! 

Then we decided we needed a snack and we order a snack size of 

chicken nuggets. The nice lady at McDonald's oohed & awed over the girls a

about how cute they were. She went on and on.

When our order came out it was two happy meals; NOT just a snack!

And with toys!

I told her I didn't order and pay for happy meals...but the lady 

said SHE did!  She wanted the girls to have them.

They thought it was fabulous!

Bennett even said,

"THIS REALLY IS A SPECIAL DAY!"

I'm glad you know that Bennett!

You and Hannalee are so fun and sweet!

OH! I thought they could hang out a few more minutes in the car and visit together

while I just went through the drive thru at the bank. 

While sitting there....Bennett looks at the Braums sign of the restaurant 

across the street from us.

"Can we go to Braums' too?"

I laughed...I almost said no...but I thought....

well...it IS a special day! 

Love both of you girls!

As I was driving Bennett home and driving past the snow cone place,

"Can we have snow cones too?!  

I drew the line!  

Wee School Easter Party

Easter party for Yellow Class at Rainbow Lane

Carnival Came to Town

I caved.  I gave in.  We went.

AND I took Kennedy and Kaden!

IT was fun.  Nana and Papa payed for the tickets since 

I was the adult

who  "got" to ride the BIG ride with JJ and Kennedy!

I screamed!  It was fun!  

Hannalee wasn't quite big enough for the BIG ride.

I"m glad.  I couldn't believe that I was on it

I couldn't believe I let JJ  get on it.  With me!

Smith Family Easter Egg Hunt

Hannalee's friend Bennett and her family had a wonderful

Easter Egg Hunt for friends and family!

Wow!  Thanks for inviting us!

It was FUN!

WOCS Grandparents Day Spring Poem

So the grandparents spent the day at JJ's school and then went to watch his program

that night.

they say all books of the New Testament.  JJ got to introduce the song

Then we did a poem (its really a book) in Spanish.

They did a great job!

Thanks grandparents for coming!

Spring Fun

It was a beautiful day.  We went walking at the park

and rode bikes and took the dog!

Then cousins got to play one day too!

Thank you Lord for our families that are friends!

Matchey-Matchey Toes and Flips

These were TOO cute! Had to buy them in matching pairs...for me and Hannalee!  She would wear flip flops and shorts year round

 if we'd let her!
