EASTER WAS SO MUCH FUN, SATURDAY MORNING WE WENT TO THE DRAPER EASTER EGG HUNT, IT'S ALWAYS AT THE DRAPER PARK BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE THEY SAID THEY MOVED IT TO ANOTHER PARK, SO WE WENT AND THEY SAID IT DID NOT START FOR A HOUR SO WE WENT AND GOT BREAKFAST, AND I WENT HOME TO CHANGE MY SHOES, I WAS COLD AND WANTED TO GO HOME AND PUT MY BOOTS ON, THEN WE WENT BACK AND WAITED, THEY HAD SPONGE BOB, ELMO, AND THE EASTER BUNNY ZAK WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THEM ALL. HE GOT HIS PICTURE TAKEN WITH THEM ALL THEN WE HAD TO WAIT, ZAK WAS SO EXCITED I LOVE TO WATCH HIM, I LOVE TO SEE THE SPARKLE HE HAS IN HIS EYES I LOVE THIS AGE, I KNOW I SAY THAT ABOUT ALL OF THEM. HE GOT A LOT OF EGGS IN FACT HE GAVE SOME OF HIS TO SOME OF THE KIDS THAT DID NOT GET MUCH, IT BROKE MY HEART WATCHING HIM GIVE THEM TO THEM, THEN AFTER THAT WE WENT TO THE MALL, THEN LATER WE WENT TO DINNER AT ROCK CREEK PIZZA WE LOVE IT. ZAK LOVES GOING THERE, IF HES GOOD HE GET TO GET A GUM BALL AND A BALL, THEN WE WENT HOME AND DYED EASTER EGGS ZAK LOVED EVERY MINUTE. BOTH JOSH AND MY HEART SMILED. I LOVE MAKING MEMORIES WITH THIS SWEET BOY AND MY SWEET HEART HUSBAND, I FEEL SO BLESSED TO HAVE BOTH OF THEM IN MY LIFE. ZAK WAS SO EXCITED FOR THE EASTER BUNNY TO COME JOSH GOT UP AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING TO GO FEED THE COWS AND HORSES SO HE DID NOT MISS OUT ON ZAK SEEING WHAT THE EASTER BUNNY BROUGHT HE HAS BEEN WANTING A SAND TABLE, SO THE EASTER BUNNY BROUGHT HIM A SAND TABLE IT REALLY FUN YOU CAN DO SAND ON ONE SIDE AND WATER ON THE OTHER THEN IT COMES WITH A TRACTOR THAT HAS WAGONS ON IT HE LOVES IT. HE LOVES TO HELP US DO YARD WORK SO THE EASTER BUNNY BROUGHT HIM HIS VERY OWN WHEEL BARROW (GREEN ) HIS FAVORITE COLOR THEN A LOT OF FUN LITTLE THING IN HIS BASKET. CHURCH WAS GREAT OUR CHOIR ALWAYS DOES A GREAT JOB IT WAS WONDERFUL, THEN WE CAME HOME AND HAD A LITTLE CAT NAP THEN WE WENT TO MY MOM'S AND DAD'S FOR A VERY YUMMY DINNER, I LOVE BEING WITH MY FAMILY I LOVE WATCHING ZAK PLAY WITH HIS CUTE COUSINS AND WATCH HOW EXCITED HE GETS TO BE THERE AND PLAY WITH THEM, IT MAKES ME SEE HOW MUCH HE NEEDS A SISTER OR BROTHER, JOSH'S PARENTS THEY DID THERE EASTER THE WEEK BEFORE SO IT MADE IT NICE NOT TO HAVE TO RUN TO BOTH. I DID NOT WANT THE DAY TO END. I LOVE TO ALSO THINK ABOUT MY SAVIOR AND HOW HE DIED TO TAKE MY SINS AWAY, I HOPE TO BECOME MORE LIKE HIM. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE AGAIN. I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE HAD A GREAT EASTER...

PITTER, PATTER GOES THE RAIN

MEET THE NEWIEST MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY

HERE IS ONE OF OUR BABY COWS, WE NAMED HER SPLASH BECAUSE MY FATHER IN LAW WENT OUT TO CHECK ON THEM, AND SHE WAS IN THE WATER, SHE IS SUCH A CUTIE, ZAK LOVES THEM SO MUCH. I'M NOT SURE WHO LOVES THEM MORE JOSH OR ZAK. THIS BOY LOVES ALL ANIMALS AND IS A MOTHER HEN TO THEM, HE LOVES TO HELP JOSH AND HIS GRANDPA. AND HE'S NOT SCARED OF THEM, NOT SURE IF THAT'S A GOOD THING. WE HAVE MORE COMING THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE BABIES, WE ALWAYS HOPE AND PRAY THERE MOTHER'S WILL BE GOOD MOTHER'S AND FEED THEM EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU GET ONE YOU HAVE TO BOTTLE FEED, IT'S A LOT OF WORK, BUT IT'S SO FUN, WHEN I WAS LITTLE WE HAD TO BOTTLE FEED A LOT OF OUR BABY LAMBS, IT BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. I'M JUST HAPPY THAT ZAK GETS TO HAVE THESE MEMORIES, THAT HE WILL GET TO LEARN ALL THE MANY WONDERFUL THING YOU LEARN WHEN YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR ANIMALS. IT'S HARD WORK BUT IT'S WELL WORTH IT... I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF JOSH AND ZAK, ZAK LOVES TO BE RIGHT BY JOSH, TAKING CARE OF THE ANIMALS. I LOVE MY TWO BOYS, AND THE FUN TIMES WE HAVE RIGHT BY EACH OTHER AS WE WORK TOGETHER TO TAKE CARE OF OUR ANIMALS...
