Cory, Oliver and I arrived at my sister and her husband's house Friday evening. Saturday we enjoyed lunch at Nicky D's. They have the most delicious burgers and fries! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Needless to say our diet has been put on hold for a while. After lunch we went to a birthday party. The party was at a bounce house.
Calynn had way too much fun...
and cake...

After the party, I attended my very first baseball game! The Texas Rangers vs The Kansas City Royals! We root, root, rooted for the home team...and they WON!!
Go Rangers!
This was a very special evening...not only because it was my first baseball game, but more importantly I captured the most precious picture of me and my niece Calynn.
Mommy, Daddy, and Calynn
My verdict: Baseball is a good time! I really didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the game, but family + hot dogs + cotton candy + peanuts + cheering loudly + nachos = a win in my book!! A huge 'thank you' to Jamie and JR for taking us!! This was the perfect way to spend our last weekend in Texas!
Today we all got dressed up and headed to church for Easter Sunday!

What cuties! I'm one blessed girl!
There is nothing better than worshiping our risen Savior with your loved ones next to you! Praise God! We had a tremendous service! What an amazing God we serve! I don't have any children yet, but I couldn't imagine giving my niece up for anything...let alone giving my only child up for a bunch of sinners!
What have we given up? What have we done?
I was reminded that even Jesus' own disciples abandoned him. Can you imagine how alone he must have felt? His own Father couldn't even look at him! Can you imagine the shame he felt? We turn our backs so easily when faced with situations that may embarrass us or make us feel uncomfortable.
I praise the Lord that the cross is not about what we have\haven't done!!
It's about a sacrifice so big. A love so strong. A power so great.
He arose. He conquered death...so we may live! Come awake ye Christians!
Matthew 28:6 "He is not here; for He is risen, as He said! Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
Very well said! Thanking the Lord not only for His sacrifice, but for His continuous blessings to one so undeserving! These memories we made this weekend are very precious to me. I love you guys very much and will certainly miss you dearly. And, that's just me! Poor little miss Calynn! She won't know what to do without her Uncle Cordy, Aunt Ashes, and Olibur!
