More funny faces of my family!!!!

Daddy being his usual funny self!Marigrace adding another nut cracker to her collection!

Hope falling in love with her music books! (I have NO clue what they are!)I was so excited to of gotten my boots! You can't even tell. Can you?
Baby Girl with her slippers! She wear them all the time!!!

It is hilarious to see all the faces that our family makes at different times!! Especially at CHRISTmas! Some of us were not quite fully awake! ;) But as you can, some of us were VERY AWAKE!!!!!! We all love giving each other gifts! It is so much fun when you just KNOW that the person is going to love their gift! Or when you know what their getting from Mama and Daddy!!

As many of you know,this is the noble:
Thomas Jonathan Jackson.
You may wonder why I didn't just put
"Stonewall."
Well, believe it or not, he did not like being called Stonewall.
He said that he was not stonewall, that the real stonewall was the Virginia Brigade.
And during the War Between the States when the Yankees
heard that the Stonewall Brigade was coming that
instilled fear upon them!
Once when his supplies were bare, his men tired and many other down falls had come upon he and his men,
he rallied them up and having encouraged them so,
the men ran forward with bayonets and leaving there fear behind, shouted,
'JACKSON, JACKSON, JACKSON!!!!"
Having heard this the foe ran for their lives leaving the Confederates with a great victory!

As I wrote my report about him today, I couldn't help but think how sad it is that such a
brilliant mind died at just the mere age of 31.
But, it was the Lord's will and he was ready, for having been shot under friendly fire and having pneumonia from a punctured lung and inhaled anesthetic on his death on May 10th in 1863
after his wife Mary Anna told him that would go home within the hour,
he looked into her eyes and said,
"I prefer it."

I hope and pray that when the Lord calls us all home that we all
"Prefer it" as he did!

Hello everyone!!!

I hope that you all have had a good week so far!!! I was blessed to be able to go to my grandmother's house and visit with her!!!! My grandmother is so funny! She makes the funniest little noises to let us know where she is! Also on Wednesdays I help my Aunt Bug in the nursery!!That is so much fun!! We had 4 little boys, two 2 year olds, a 1 year old and about 6 month old! They are the sweetest little things!!! The two 2 yro fight sometimes but it is really funny to see their reactions when you tell them not to fight and be sweet! They either just look at each funny or give each other a hug! It is the cutest thing! Tonight one of the boys hit me and I told him not to do that and he gave me hug! They are all so sweet!

We had a wonderful and a blessed Easter!!!! Our great aunt was here, on Saturday we had a egg hunt at home, FUN shopping!!!! and a lot of chocolate and good cooking and were able to spend Easter Sunday afternoon with our daddy's family at our grandmother's house! It was the most lovely day!!!

Thank you Lord for sending your one and only Son to die that slow death.
Thank you so much and that is all I know to say!

Thank you over and over again!

Here is the Baby Girl having a blast finding eggs all over the yard!

But Little Man got a little more serious about the occasion!

And some of us (Rosebud) took advantage of the situation outside!!! :)

The lovely spectators of the adventurous event!!!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM
FOR ALL WONDROUS THINGS HE HATH DONE!!!!!!

Thank you Lord for such a wonderful little brother as
Buddy Man!!!!

Here he is being his funny self, sitting in the middle of the water fall, one warm day when the creek had a LOT of water in it!!!

Today we went and got some VERY last minute Easter shopping done!!! WHEW!!!!!! that was a whirl wind!! But it was fun! The Lord blessed us with finding very good deals and being able to find everything that we needed!!!

as I walked around the many store we visited I often wondered how many people that were right around me, didn't know what Easter really is about! :( It makes me sad to think of this. I also found myself thanking the LORD over and over again for what he had done! I can not imagine the pain that that caused. Only He knows.

I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter full hope, joy and Peace of our WONDERFUL Saviour!
May God bless you all! I hope you have a wonderful Easter!
And if the Lord lays it on your heart to do so, please pray for our Paster, he lost his grandmother this weekend.

Happy Easter to all!
