Easter Weekend

We have had the best weekend! On Friday, we went to watch Oak Grove play a little baseball and it was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day!!! Yesterday, J went to Jackson to meet his dad and watch the Braves play, and Nana came to Hattiesburg.  The kids had the best time with Nana and kept her busy all day while I was able to work on a few craft projects and got started on the major organization/clean out project we have to do before our home study visit happens.  We still have some work to do, but some progress was made for sure while the kids were busy!!!

Our church had a 6:00 am sunrise service down by the lake this morning.  The kids were still asleep so they stayed with the Nelsons.  The service was the perfect way to start the day and get our hearts focused on the victory that the Lord had over the grave! 

After breakfast, we snapped a few pictures and headed to Big Church.  Ella Kate has been begging for me to take her in to the service instead of the nursery for months.  I have resisted honestly because I didn't want to wrestle her and make her be quiet on my own since J is busy working during the services.  So I decided that today, with the help of the Nelsons, she could go to Big Church.  She was PERFECT!!!  We will see how next week goes...

 Thank you Nana and Pop for all your help this weekend!!!! We enjoyed your visit!!!

 While taking this picture, Ella Kate announced, "I'm going to marry you Patrick Jones!"  We will be showing this photo in their rehearsal dinner slideshow!!!

 Preach it Brother!!!!!

 These pictures just make me happy!

 Happy Easter!!! He is RISEN!!!! HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!!!
