Grand Prix

Our church held our first ever Awana Grand Prix last night. We had over 100 people there, and 36 cars raced!! It was a lot of fun;a little stressful at times, especially for my "number cruncher" sister and friend, but in the end it was fun.

Here are some pictures from the night!!

You Know The Feeling....

Your palms get sweaty.

Your heart starts beating fast.

You can't look away even though you want to.

You notice sweat rolling down the side of your check.

You can barely hold onto your seat because your palms are sweating really bad now.

no, its not a scary movie.

no it's not your first date.

You just placed a bid on an item on ebay.

Anyone else get this way???

I was bidding the other night, and I was a nervous wreck.... It's so silly.

But, I WON!! :)

I won this cartridge for my cricut. It's called Animal Kingdom. Do you know there are something like 250 cartridges out there?? I've created a wish list.

And the question my husband asks is: "Why can't they put every image and font on ONE cartridge?"

We, all know the answer. So we will spend more money buying each individual cartridge. :)

Tomorrow at church, is our Awana Grand Prix, so I made a few banners for it. I think it's going to be fun !! I'll post pictures tonight.

What a Wonderful Weekend

We had a wonderful, fun filled weekend, with just our families. I would really love to just bask in what a good time we had all day long.

On Saturday, we cleaned and just hung around the house, and then Kylee and Jaxon went with Popsie and Mimi to see Mamaw in town. They got to go eat at McDonalds. Saturday, was also Jason's mom's birthday. We didn't do a lot of celebrating. :)

On Easter, the kids got baskets with little stuff in them. Kylee was thrilled to say the least, and then she was super excited when she got to pull out Jaxon's goodies too!! Everyone woke up in a really good mood.

I woke up extra early to try and get us all ready by 8:50; Jason's parents came by and took a family picture of all us because that is the only way we would get a family picture.

That good mood I just mentioned seemed to have left Kylee and would not come back until we were done taking pictures. I mean "why won't she smile for the camera?"

Maybe cause she's 2. Maybe she doesn't like everyone looking at her.

OR Maybe she is a HOLIK.

And what that means is SHE DOESN'T LIKE EVERYONE TELLING HER WHAT TO DO!!

We were telling her to smile--> She didnt' like that, so she wouldn't smile.

Here is Kylee in her Easter dress, last year.

Easter Sunday; same church; same place; same dress; different kid.

Here is Lexi wearing "the dress" this year. Now, all the girls have worn it.

After church, the kids got to do the Easter egg hunt. Kylee's first Easter she only got "uno huevo". So, we were all really pumping Jaxon up on the way to church in hopes that he might get more than one egg. Telling him things like, "you can do it Jax Jax", "we know you can get more than one egg", "don't lose focus after the first egg", and "keep trying"!!

And there off.

She got lots of eggs, and way more candy than we need; like every kid probably.

Except for this little guy. All the words of encouragement, and pep talk, didn't help him.

He got distracted by the one, little, yellow egg, and never moved on to hunt anymore.

Until, Uncle Dan through a few more in his basket!! Yeah!! (For those of you that are really confused about who Uncle Dan is; it's really not his uncle; just family friend that we call Uncle)

Then we went home and enjoyed the day with both sides of family. Ate great food. Took naps. Talked. Hunted more eggs. And talked alot about the "empty egg".

Really, all I got to say, is I am really glad Kylee has cousins because she probably won't have any other friends because she is so mean right now. Thank goodness she will always have these friends.

The main thing about Easter isn't the eggs. But, while the kids loved hunting eggs, why not throw an empty one out there to give the opportunity to explain the empty tomb. Praise God the tomb was empty. We serve a RISEN KING!!!

And, as I said at the beginning, I would love to sit here all day long and look through pictures, smile, and think about all the fun we had, BUT

I better get my you know what in gear because we have a busy week!! See ya soon!!

Worthy is the Lamb

thankful.

blessed.

forgiven.

undeserving.

humbled.

loved.

hopeful.

unworthy.

redeemed.

saved.

Thank you for the cross!!

Happy Easter!!

Bad Knee, Possible Black Eye, & Other Random Tidbits

How much do you love cupcakes?

Probaby not more than her. Don't worry she didn't eat all of it. I helped her!! :)

So, Jason's had swelling on his knee for about 3 weeks now. Thankfully his mom convinced him to go to the Sports Medicine; he just ignored me for 3 weeks. :) They looked at it and recommened he see a doctor because they think it is torn cartlidge. So, thankfully he is going to go see the Dr. next Wednesday. He didn't want to at all, mainly because it costs money. But, we'll see.

This is girl is probably going to have a black eye for EASTER!! :( She ran smack into Jason's recliner last night. It actually cut the very corner of her eyelid a little, and I think her eyelid and below her eye is bruised. We'll see how bad it gets!!

We made Resurrection Eggs at our MOPS group on Friday. Kylee is loving them!!

We made Easter crafts for our friends at church.

And, I have been doing a little rearranging. I moved the changing table out of Jaxon's room, and put it in the laundry room. Mainly because I have all these party things going and craft thins going and no where to put them, except on the floor or pile them on the dryer.

So, this is helping some. Still not great, but it is better, trust me.

And, if we ever had another kid, there wouldn't be room in either room for a changing table, as long as we are in this house.

Speaking of bad knees, hopefully my knees hold me up tonight. I am playing in a basketball game!! YIKES!!

Should be fun though!!

Bedtime Photo Shoot

They are both starting to enjoy each other so much more, now that Jaxon is not a 'baby' and he is a little tougher. I mean, he has to be, with a wild sister like Kylee.

BIG

A BIG truck came,

and brought a BIG box to our house.

That put a BIG smile on a girls face because she knew what was in that BIG box.

For it was the BIG blue slide.

It completed the BIG playground daddy, Uncle Josh, and Popsie made.

Then we immediately invited friends over and had a BIG time.

Then Jaxon decided he wanted to be a part of the BIG weekend, so he started walking behind his walker.

Which is BIG news.
