Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. --Anonymous

I ran across this yesterday and loved it so I thought I would share it with you!  It reminds me of what my Pastor asked everyone in our church a few months back.  If you were to die tomorrow would you be at peace with the way you left your relationships with your family and friends.  If you are not then you need to take care of that relationship asap.  Either you need to give or accept forgiveness because life is too short to be upset with a loved one.  Forgiveness is a wonderful gift to give, receive and accept.

How are your relationships?

 We went to a indoor trampoline park with my Mom, Skylar, Grayson and Hayden last weekend!  After an hour of jumping we all went to McDonald's for lunch.  Thank you Grandma Annette for a fun afternoon!

 The tree in our yard looks beautiful this week!

Another Easter Egg Hunt!

Last Saturday we went to my Uncle Brian and Auntie Jenny's house to celebrate Easter. It was a beautiful warm sunny day. We spent most of our time visiting outside watching all the kids having a blast playing together!

A Week

Within the last week Ily has become a mover. She does a very slow army crawl and is usually complaining as she does it because she still does not enjoy being on her tummy! It is funny to watch her because she complains as she is crawling but if you make eye contact with her then she is all smiles. She also learned to clap last week and I love the sound of her tiny little clap! Ily can also stand with out help now and thinks she is pretty cool when she is standing. She likes to show off and lets go with one hand. It is crazy what can happen in just one week. In all honesty it makes me a little sad to know that my baby is getting so big.

Easter

After the kids found their Easter baskets Sunday morning we quickly got ready and were out the door for church. My Mom joined us at church but I didn't tell the kids that she would be there so they were excited to see her. After church we came back to our house for a little bit. That is when we attempted and completely failed at a family picture. Although they did make for a great Wordless Wednesday! Then off to my Uncle Gary and Aunt Rosie's house we went, and that is where we spent the rest of our day visiting with family! We had a Easter egg hunt for the kids. It was the funniest thing watching Ezra open up his eggs after he found them all. Lets just say he consumed enough sugar for several days in a very short time and then needed a good hands, face and neck washing! It was a great day full of family bonding time!

Last Friday Luke had the day off so we took the kids swimming!

Ily was happy as can be sitting in her car seat watching everyone swim!
