Spring Break is officially over:(

Okay, so I am back and today is the start of any ordinary Monday. Grace went back to school, Izabelle went to Treva's, and well I am here at work (shh, don't tell anyone that I am blogging while at work, eek).

Anyway, we had a fun Spring Break. We started off the first part of the week with me working and the girls spending time between Treva's, Memaw's, and some friends. The girls went to Memaw's on Monday to spend the night and spend the next day with her while I was at work. Kaycee took Grace to see "How to train a dragon" that afternoon while Izabelle took a nap. The girls sure have a BLAST had their grandparent's house.

Then on Wednesday, the girls' spent the morning at Treva's making Easter baskets and coloring eggs. Then Sonya came and picked Grace up to go to the park with them. Grace and Hailey are becoming such good friends (as well as their mommies). Grace was upset when we left because she thought that she didn't have enough time to play with Hailey...although she spent the whole day with her.

Thursday we went to the park, had a picnic and played with Greta & B. It's so much fun (& exhausting) watching them run from one thing to another, but so worth it. After the park, we headed home for naps. Then we took a walk through the neighborhood. Stopped at the Robinson's, then over to the Stoll's to watch Shawn plant potatoes and swing. We are soo very blessed to have wonderful neighbors.

Izabelle and Grace at the park...notice another lil girl wanted to get picture taken too.
Friday, we went with Abby and her family to the indoor waterpark in French Lick. It was really neat and FUN. Kinda wish I would have had a tan!!! The girls LOVED IT!!! Izabelle stayed in the lil baby/kiddie area and kept going up and down the slide with Karson. At the end the two got more daring going down the slide. Grace was able to go down the other slides and then into another pool with Lillie and her grandma. I can't tell you how much that made the girl's Spring Break and mine. It was a great way to end a good week. THANKS ABBY for letting us come too!!!
Grace swimming in the bigger pool Izabelle doing her FAVORITE thing, going down the slide Izabelle and Grace...Izabelle wanted to keep putting her face in the water...Such a Waterbug;-)

Grace said this morning she can't wait for school to be over...it will only be a couple of more weeks, and she will be.

Then over the weekend, I had to be at the church Saturday morning to prep for breakfast after Sunrise Service, then later that evening we had a Kaden's (Matt's cousin's lil boy) 1st birthday party and EASTER!!!! I will post more on Easter at a later time.

Until Next Time...

God Bless

P.S.
Okay, so I am just going to put this out there...First I want to say "THANK YOU" from the bottom of heart for praying for me and not fully knowing what is going on in my life or my heart. I can feel those prayers, so thank you and keep them coming, if can. I know that there were alot of concern, but I will tell you this, that me and my family are fine. There has been things that have been going on in my extended family that really made me think about things (I have posted previously about my grandpa and cousin and their health scares) and that made me anxious, worried, scared and I let that start to control my life. I am not afraid or shamed of admitting that I deal with those types of things, actually it has been able to open up the doors to others that struggle with the same thing to be able to talk about it and not feel like you are the 'only' one that is dealing with this, but I am working on controling this type of thinking by focusing on prayer, Christ, and a new way of thinking.

Continue to pray for us, if you feel the will to do so, but also continue to pray for others as well as for yourself. Pray for us to seek God in the midst of trials, to seek God during the time of blessings, and well pray to God everyday. Praise him in everything.
