The Park

After we dyed Easter eggs on Sunday we went to get ice cream.

She loves her sunglasses!

And then we went to the park. It was a beautiful day out and spring fever must have hit because EVERYONE was at the park. It was fun though!

They had fun going head-first down the slide. They went over and over again.

Even Isabel!

(It was safe - the surface underneath was soft and it wasn't as far for Isabel as it looks in this picture. Really, it was ok!)

We then went to dinner at our favorite pizza place (sorry no pictures), and then called it a night. The girls had a great week off for Spring Break - and so did we!

Easter Eggs

We dyed Easter eggs yesterday.

Isabel's clothes only lasted two seconds.

But she had to keep her shoes on. Funny.

Gracie was so careful and thoughtful with each of her eggs.

Isabel dipped each egg numerous times for a creative color look.

She only smashed four.

Ta da!

Want one?

Spring Break part III

I will post "part II" later when I go through all the pictures.
But for the meantime, here's the end of the trip.

Mike and the girls made their way home today. First, they stopped at North Platte where they got to see the Humpback (the largest train switching yard in the world) from this tower.


Slug bug was played all the way! (I think Gracie won)

Here's Grace at Fort McPherson. She likes to do handstands!

Isabel at the rest stop.

Make sure you wash your hands!

(I know, it's weird that I am posting pictures of my children in the Rest Area. I know, but they are just so cute!!)

Then "Bob" drove the rest of the way home.

It is so good to finally have them home! Hope your having a great weekend!

All creation groans

It peaks out through the snow. Growing towards the sun searching for it's Creator. It blooms for the Creator and for the Creator's pleasure. It knows nothing else, but it's Creator. And it lives to please Him. It groans for Him.



" For we know that the whole creation groans..." Roamans 8:22

Spring Break part I

The girls left yesterday to go to Nebraska with their Daddy for a few days.


Gracie in the car. She is such a good traveler and always has been. You can tell she really likes it and with her sense of adventure, I think she will have lots of fun in her life. (I love her dimples!!)

They made lots of stops including this one at Great Grandma and Grandpa Discoe's grave.

And this one at the Overland Trail where you can still see wagon wheel tracks from the settlers. It was one of the main trails that brought settler's out west.




Mike also took them through the town where he grew up and showed them his old house, school and places like that. Good stuff.


Hope your Spring Break is treating you well!

Tea

Learning the art of being graceful and gracious.

"as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious." I Peter 2:2-3.

Spring storm

So beautiful!

Happy Friday!
