Up From The Grave He Arose!

I can't do Easter morning with out that song playing in my head. I love it! We enjoyed getting all festive in our attire this morning. We actually took this of ourselves using a homemade tripod of a step ladder and a Bible for the camera to sit on. One shot was all it took. We may have a new homemade system established for family selfies! Ha.

My boys are so fine!

This sweet thing looked like a little man and has a new found love for the bow tie. I sure missed the smocked bunny outfit after 4 years of them, but all good things must come to an end!

Henry Patton loved his basket of goodies. He literally bolted down the hall this morning in his underwear looking for his basket. I couldn't get the lights turned on quick enough. He is all boy! He loves taking his Bible to church with him each time. Look at him holding it ;)

Nana coming for Easter is always a treat (Papa too). We love their visits. She is always so great to do my dishes for me. It makes me love her more than I already do. Henry and Nana are a silly pair!

Henry enjoyed the feast. Pork and potatoes are his best picks so Easter at our house is one of the top meals for he and his daddy. They eat it up for a few days with all the leftovers. Henry's eyelashes are my favorite....I love this child!

Molly made a coconut jelly bean Peep cake and I made a strawberry m&ms Peep cake. It was all kinds of Peepy at our place! Ha. So festive and tastey. I sometimes think our over the top efforts are lost on our boys....so enjoy the photo with is, if you will! ;)

Henry had his Daddy take him to buy me this tulip plant at Home Depot for Easter. God love my Henry! He is seriously a gift giver. I just hope he still gives when he has to start using his own money someday!

Henry asked to go into big church today for Easter. His daddy agreed to it. I was leery but glad to see him excited about it. He was quiet during church but rather squirmy. It was cute but will not be an every Sunday thing yet. We had a great Easter celebrating our Savior. As Henry chants, "He's Alive! He's alive!"

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
