Celebration Baptisms!

Colin and Brian

Kristin and Sarah

This month we had baptisms at Celebration, it was so fun! We had two people from house church that wanted to be baptized. Brian and I felt so honored to baptize them, God has amazing plans for each of you! Love you guys!

Happy 30th Brian!

Friday afternoon I surprised Brian at work with a weekend trip to the lake with 20 of our closest friends. He had NO idea...we walked in to Brian singing:-)

Everyone came in Friday night and we celebrated with a HUGE cake!

Friday night was game night!

Brian got an AquaSkipper for his birthday from my parents. The water was beyond COLD! If only I could download a video of Brian and Alex's first try...Needless to say we didn't take too much ground even after a full day of attempts (girls included!)

Saturday night....Saturday night...

Here's just a few highlights:

dance parties

newlywed games

We had the best weekend! Brian loves getting to spend time with each of the couples that came. We left our kids at home and had the best weekend. The weather was beautiful, fellowship was amazing, food was great, and we laughed and laughed and laughed! Happy Birthday Lover...I love you with all my heart!

Soccer Practice

Everyone wants to participate in soccer practice

Climbing the wall after practice

Dinner with our cousins! These two were so funny, they really fed each other the entire meal. We love fun nights with our cousins!

Ella swallowed a battery?!?

Check out our new bracelet!

Monday afternoon we were playing around the house. I went to let Hartley out in the backyard and when Ella walked by I noticed that she had something silver in her mouth. She quickly spit a small button battery into my hand! As I let Hartley back into the house I see Ella bend over and pick something up. She quickly puts it into her mouth! I see that it's silver, so I swipe her mouth quickly. I feel something in her mouth, but I didn't get it!!! I flip her over and hit her on the back trying to get it out of her mouth. When she sits up, she just smiles and sticks her tongue out like...there's nothing else there!

I quickly check the toy that she was playing with and realize that there were 2 batteries in the toy!!! I call the doctor's office, and they tell me she needs to head to the E.R. Four x-rays later, they never found the battery! I'm about 90% sure that I saw/felt the battery, so we are just believing God can do anything...even dissolve batteries!

Easter at Lolli and Champs

On your mark...

Get Set...

Go!

The Egg Toss...it just wouldn't break!

Sharing the Gospel

Lolli and Champ set up a scavenger hunt for the kids on Easter to find their treats. We all had to do a Egg Race, Toss, etc. It was so much fun! Aunt Jenny got home from Thailand on Easter, so they weren't able to make it. We missed everyone, but enjoyed a beautiful day celebrating Jesus!

Easter at the Farm

Ella enjoyed filling her new basket (made by Karrie Thompson) with dirt instead of eggs!

All the kids and the daddies at the Wright family Easter Celebration

Aunt Diana and Uncle Tom created an egg drop game for the kids. They each got to wrap their eggs and then dropped them to see if they would break...

As you could imagine...my boys preferred breaking the eggs!

Ella was so tired by the end of the day, Lolli rocked her in the tire swing.

We had a great day at the farm celebrating Easter. I had a ton of extra pictures, but the blog wouldn't let me put them up for some reason.

Flowers from Daddy

When I was a little girl my dad always got me a corsage of some type for Easter. Ella loves flowers, so I thought it would be sweet for Brian to get her one. I think I have an identical picture of me and my dad!

Lolli made Ella's corsage and hair clip
