Here are some pictures of my little guys on Easter.....
I might have to do suits someday but right now they all get new shirts for Easter sunday :-) Normally I try to get matching shirts, but I couldn't find one in each size this year....This was taken right before they left for church...

Since my husband and I have had children we have passed on traditions to our kids that we had as children. My favorite one is hiding the easter baskets the night before Easter so that the kids wake up and search for their basket. My mom used to do that for us and she even did it until I was in high school and for my older siblings who had moved out.... it was such a fun thing that we have passed it onto our kids. Here are some pictures of previous years them finding their baskets....
The best part was Easter Sunday Morning at church though.... there is nothing like celebrating Easter at church... praising God for sending his son... and thanking Jesus for dying for us..... and not staying dead... but rising again!!
The reason we celebrate Easter :-)
I hope you all had a incredible Easter as well!!!!
2 years ago April 12, 2009 on Easter Sunday.... early in the morning.... I started having contractions..... and that afternoon..... my little boy decided to make his way into this world. He was by far my easiest delivery.....the best infant.... and..... my most wild destructive toddler yet.... :-)
Here's a stroll down memory lane.....
Jonathan just hours after he was born... :-)
Jonathan with 2 of his brothers....

Picture taken today of my now 2 year old little boy.... :-)
It's hard to believe that today he turns 2 years old.... time flies so fast. Jonathan brings so much joy and laughter to my life.... and keeps me on my toes since he is into everything alllllll the time... :-) :-)Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy!!!! Thank you God for blessing me with such a wonderful little boy.
A few years ago I heard a band.... and fell in love with this band.... it's Skillet. For those of you who haven't heard of them, they are a christian rock band and they are incredible, at least in my opinion. Whether you like them or not, there is a song that I think will speak to a lot of people. The first time I heard it I swore that they wrote it just for me.
You see even though I am a christian, I go through dark times. There are times when I feel anxious.... fearful and sometimes even depressed. Life situations and circumstances come along and sometimes it just throws you for a little while.
In the midst of the darkness though, I know there is someone I can call on... who will make me feel better... through his peace and love. Jesus....
Take a moment and listen to this song, and see if it speaks to you as well, for those of you who don't want to watch the video, i've posted the lyrics underneath the video. Lyrics are also on video as well.
Do you know what it's like when
You're scared to see yourself?
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better, I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
Never surrender
Do you know what it's like when
You're not who you wanna be?
Do you know what it's like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me I can't hide?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better, I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
Make me feel better, you make me feel better
You make me feel better, put me back together
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better, I need to feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
Put me back together
Never surrender, make me feel better
You make me feel better
Stay with me here now and never surrender
