DNOW weekend

Last weekend was so busy for us. We had a blast though. Every year since we have been married (except last year due to me being in the hospital) we host a group/band at our house. It was so much fun this year. We had 10th grade girls. The group leader was actual a girl I remember from Centerville First Baptist when she was in the nursery, Katie Hartzog. She did an awesome job leading those girls through the whole weekend. They were so well behaved and I think they really heard God speaking. It is truly amazing when you can open your home to youth so that they can be closer to God. I think it is a blessing to our kids to have such wonderful role models. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

As you can tell Gracie didn't hesitate around the "big kids."

Ash had so much fun too. I cooked mac and cheese Saturday night and he chowed down on it!!!

Getting so big

I just got a new HP Touchsmart computer. Since it is very compact we have it on the bar in the kitchen. Gracie thinks that it is her new computer. She loves to sit and "play" on it while I am cooking dinner. It is great though because in our house everything centers around the kitchen. Johnny and I cook dinner together most nights so Gracie and Aiden normally stay right at our feet. This allows Gracie to be in the kitchen, but not in the kitchen. Check out these pictures of her doing her "work."

Let it Snow!!!

I can't believe the weather. Saturday it was nice and starting to get warm. I let Gracie wear a cute spring skirt out to eat Saturday evening. We heard predictions of snow for Sunday, but I just didn't think it would happen, but low and behold it SNOWED!!!! By the time we got ready to go to church it was sleeting outside and we didn't feel like dragging two small kids out in the weather. By 11am it was snowing outside. For awhile it was coming down quick. It was so pretty. We let Gracie go outside and play in the snow. Her first time out she got upset since it was so cold, but later that day she enjoyed running in the snow. She and Johnny made snowballs and threw them in the pool. That would melt almost as soon as they hit the water. Needless to say we had a enjoyable Snow Day!
