Baptism

It is a very exciting night for Easton tonight. For the past couple months he's been talking about getting baptised but he wanted to do it when grandma got here. I had mixed feeling about it. A part of me was extremely proud, happy, and excited for him and the other part of me wondered if he really understands and I want this to be something he will always remember. Sunday night we went to a family night at church . It came up and I expressed to Bro. Chad my concerns. He said he would talk to him and see if he thought he understood and if he was ready then we could decide. After about a 15 minute conversation, he came out and said,"that dude is ready!!" =) He asked him why he wanted to be baptised and Easton told him because Jesus was and he wants us to be too. Then Easton went on to tell Chad that he wanted to get baptised to tell everyone he believed Jesus died on the cross for him and for everybody. Easton has such a great heart and I just pray that he will keep his love for Jesus always! I am so grateful to FirstWest Fairbanks(formerly Fairbanks Baptist Church) for the seed they have planted in my son. There are such wonderful people who unselfishly give up so much time to teach children about Jesus. I will be forever thankful!!

Spring Break

We've been on spring break this past week and it was great! It actually didn't fly by for a change because we didn't do a whole lot. It started with a trip to Baton Rouge to visit the Hawkins. We also visited the Moore's on way into and out of town. Mrs. Jean was nice enough to get us Sesame Street Live tickets. The kids really enjoyed it! We also got to go to the Easter egg hunt at their church. It was a fun weekend!

On Monday we tried to ditch the diaper with Emarie. It didn't go so well so we are taking that slowly. She will occasionally go on her own so maybe sometime soon she'll really get the hang of it. The rest of the week consisted of the Lorax, Painting pots and planting flowers with mimi, a play date at the playground with some friends and hanging out at home. Isabelle got a new bike so we were able to get out and enjoy that some. We had our last soccer games on Sat and had Elizabeth over to play. Sunday we went to church, tball(girls) practice,tball(boys) practice, Braden's practice then a dinner at church. Now for a 4 day week. There is lots to look forward to this week...Grandma comes tomorrow, Lion King on Friday, and then Easter!
