Crushed Elbow

Luke smashed his elbow riding his dirt bike. He was trying to double a jump-and he almost did when his back wheel stopped at the top and he flew over the handle bars. He doesn't need a cast but it's in a sling.

Resurrection Buns

We are making ressurection buns. It's frozen dinner roll dough thawed out wrapping a marshmallow with cinnamon and sugar. When you bake them the marshmallow melts and turns into a glaze that lines the inside of the bun. It simbolizes Jesus leaving the tomb empty and the bun is empty. They are so good and Emily took some to GEMS for all the girls because I was sick.

Easter Party

We went to 1 of 2 Easter parties just a bit a go. I got a lot of candy and it was super fun!

Happy Easter

"Not a word was heard at the tomb that day--
just shuffling of the soldiers' feet
as they guarded the grave.
One day. Two days. Three days had passed.
Could it be that Jesus had breathed His last?

Could it be that His Father had forsaken Him?
Turned His back on His Son,
despising our sin?
All Hell seemed to whisper, 'Just forget Him,
He's dead.'

Then the Father looked down to His Son and said,
'Arise, my Love-- Arise my Love!
The grave no longer has a hold on You!
No more death sting.
No more suffering.
Arise, arise my Love!'

The earth trembled,
and the tomb began to shake;
like lightning from Heaven,
the stone was rolled away.

And like dead men, the guards stood there in fright,
as the power of Love displayed it's might.

Then suddenly a melody
filled the air--
riding wings of wind,
it was everywhere.

The words all creation had been longing to hear;
the sweet sound of victory,
so loud and clear--

'Arise, my Love-- Arise my Love!
The grave no longer has a hold on You!
No more death sting.
No more suffering.
Arise, arise my Love!'

Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell has been defeated.

The grave could not hold the King! "

--Newsong, Arise My Love
