Happy Palm Sunday

I just love our church family! Especially our Children's Pastors!

After hanging out yesterday at church having fun

 at the Easter Egg Hunt 

(Link to pictures here)

today my kids got to be apart of sharing the

 REAL Easter Celebration 

with the congregation during their Palm Sunday program!

James loved getting to practice and hang our with the older kids. 

 These are some cuties from my preschool class.

  

Side note: 

Are arranged marriages biblical? ;)

Jenna's age group did so beautifully,

 and I pretty much cried through the whole thing!

Between songs testimonies were shared of God's miracles

 in different families' lives! 

It was a lovely way to celebrate our Lord who is still ALIVE, and he is working in our homes today!

At the end parents through out the congregation stood up with signs reminding others

 the miracle that our families and children are! 

My kids are 3 of my favorite miracles from God!

Easter Egg Hunt and Making Crayons

We took our Easter Bunnies to our Church Easter Party

 Little bunny hunted for eggs with his cousins while sister headed to the big kids side of the field

 Then we headed inside for some games

James decided he'd rather what and eat candy while sister made a necklace

Then spent sometime hanging with his cousin Zia's grandma Rosa 

While Jenna played tug a war with Pastor... she won, because she had God/Joni on her side ;)

James joined back in when he found our there was orbeez balls to play with!

Then we headed to lunch....Chey is super impressed with Jenna trying to eat with those glasses on as you can see lol

after jumping in the jump houses 

we headed back to Promise Land to grab all the broken crayons from my classroom.

What for? To make more crayons ;)

 1st you soak them in warm water to make the wrappers come off

 then you break them into small pieces, and put them in different candy molds

make sure the crayons and molds stay dry (lesson learned on our 1st batch)

 Bake at 230 for 20 mins 

Then cool for 20+ mins

 ta-da cute crayons sure to entertain toddlers lol 

The true test to a successful day is an easy bedtime :)

Spring Has Sprung!

We are loving the sunshine here in at the Reece House!

 It has been a great start to spring! Here is some of the fun we've been having!

Lots of swimming and working out at the Rec!

Lots of family walks around the neighborhood, and to the Greenbelt with our little super baby lol

Family bonding with our big kids!

A trip to the Boise Art Museum

 And to the Discovery Zone!

The kids impressed us during their Easter Program at church!

We celebrated Grandpa Bob's 76th Birthday!

And James decided he likes feeding people dinner instead of being fed

We went to an Easter Celebration at Uncle Bobby and Aunt Stevie's house

The kids had a scavenger hunt to find their Easter Presents! 

And grandpa Scott taught James the joy of Easter Candy ;)

We colored eggs with family!

And had an Easter Egg hunt at Grandma Sue's house!

James just liked that there was MM's in his eggs, and didn't care about his gifts lol

Then we made sure to bring the Easter Holiday's true meaning back to Jesus freeing us from our sins with his death and resurrection with a fun church event walking them through the life of Christ!

I grew huge, and James has learned that he gets kicked if he cuddles with my surro baby bump ;)

The kids played pie face on the tramp...well the mostly just ate the pie!

 Jenna has started her spring basketball training for Club Ball!

James has started showing me what he really thinks of having his picture taken...

 Mike and I have gone on a few dates

We went to a western dinner murder mystery dinner which was very entertaining

Then this weekend we tried a new place, and I fell a little more in love with my marriage;)

I am very excited for all the rest spring is sure to bring especially more time getting to spend as a stay at home mom and wifey cuddling with this little man in the sun everyday!
