Easter Weekend

We packed up and went to Payson for Easter weekend this year.  The kids had lots of fun playing outside at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  One the morning of Easter Sunday the kids got a couple small presents, some candy in their baskets, and we did a Resurrection Egg (check them out) hunt.  It was the first year we did this and it was very cool.  Each egg is filled with an item the pertains to the story of Christ's cruxifiction and resurrection.  After finding all the eggs we opened them in order and read through a story that explained each item.  It was pretty cool.  We look forward to making this a new Easter tradition. 

Easter morning after church

We had a candy-filled egg hunt outside in the afternoon with our kids and their cousins.  And then enjoyed a super delish meal for dinner!  It was a fun weekend and great family time!

Apparently some people were so excited that they could not hold still!

Karlynn Sings

Karlynn had a lot of fun singing for us after dinner tonight.  Please excuse her stuffiness and coughs (she has a cold right now) -- if anything, the cold just makes her even more adorable!

Somebody Tell Them

Love this song!

SOMEBODY TELL THEM -- City Harbor

There’s a child on the subway
His story is written on his face
And the pain he’s felt, is enough to fill a lifetime
But he doesn’t know any other way

Somebody tell them that the lost are saved
Somebody tell them that their debt’s been paid
And let them know love is calling out their names
Somebody tell them, they’re the child of the king
And there is an end to this suffering
And hope that never fades through grace that’s made a way.
Somebody tell them, somebody tell them now.
Oh somebody tell them, somebody tell them now

You can see it on the TV
Or in the middle of a crowded room
There’s a sea of broken hearts, that are longing
To be washed away by an ocean of truth

Somebody tell them that the lost are saved
Somebody tell them that their debt’s been paid
And let them know love is calling out their names
Somebody tell them, they’re the child of the king
And there is an end to this suffering
And hope that never fades through grace that’s made a way.
Somebody tell them, somebody tell them now.
Oh somebody tell them, somebody tell them now

Too many times we’ve all held back
The truth from those put in our path
So let us be the voice of love
Somebody tell them now
Somebody tell them now

Somebody tell them that the lost are saved
Somebody tell them that their debt’s been paid
And let them know love is calling out their names
Somebody tell them, they’re the child of the king
And there is an end to this suffering
And hope that never fades through grace that’s made a way.
Somebody tell them, somebody tell them now.
Oh somebody tell them, somebody tell them now

Let's play, let's play!!!

Another shout out to Elliott and Andrea!  Our sweet girl LOVES the soccer ball you got her for Christmas.  We *must* play with it every single day!  (Even in Minnie Mouse slippers!)  I have a feeling that we are going to have a hard time keeping her off of the soccer field this summer while her brothers play!

Science Experiments

During the month of March, Micah's regular weekly homework has been replaced with the opportunity to complete a series of science experiments at home.  He was so excited about it that we already completed a couple over the weekend.  The first of which was using forks to balance a potato on the rim of a glass.  Micah was surprised that it worked!
