Sunday Snapshots

While walking home from church today, Ella Kate asked me to take her pictures. So, we did. Of course she wanted her new rocking horse to be a part of her little photo shoot. =)

A great big "Thank You" to the Williams family for sharing the horsey with us. Ella Kate is LOVING it!!!!

And a little Baby Walker update...if I do not have him by May 18th, my doctor will go ahead and take him then! So excited that we only have a month until we get to meet this little guy!!! I went into labor with EK 2 weeks early, so there is a chance that we could get to meet Walker even sooner than the 18th!!!! SOOOOOOOO READY!!!!!!

Easter Morning

We have had an amazing day today celebrating our RISEN Lord! The morning started extremely early for J with a bonfire/scripture reading time and then the sun rise service at church. Because it was so early, EK and I did not attend this year, but I was awakened to the most amazing sound coming from the service. These words were pouring through the speakers:

"Christ is risen from the dead

Trampling over death by death.

Come awake, come awake!

Come and rise up from the grave.

Christ is risen from the dead.

We are one with him again.

Come awake, come awake!

Come and rise up from the grave.

Oh death! Where is your sting?

Oh hell! Where is your victory?

Oh Church! Come stand in the light!

Our God is not dead, HE'S ALIVE! HE'S ALIVE!!!"

It was an absolutely perfect way to start off the morning!!!!

Sunshine Days

Ella Kate has been enjoying the gorgeous weather this weekend in Madison. Mom and Haley took her to the park and she loved every minute of it. She would live there if we would let her! And this morning, Papaw, my parents and Haley took her fishing. They caught three fish and Haley said that EK was in awe. From the pictures, I would say she has been having fun for sure!! A HUGE thank you to mom and dad for keeping EK so J and I could relax before our little man arrives!!!!

Preschool Eggstravaganza

This past weekend, our church hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for the preschoolers at our church. It was a fun morning that included play doh, painting, and goldfish filled egg hunting. Ella Kate and her friend Lauren were all set to go, but they had to wait on everyone else to get to the starting line...that was pretty difficult!!!And she's off....
I got so tickled watching Ella Kate. All the kiddos just starting picking up the eggs right in front of the starting line. Not my Ella Kate! She took off running to the edge of the field as far away from everyone else as possible so she could maximize her productivity. Silly girl!
On a mission...
A happy camper after filling her bucket!!!
Kay Kay and G came to watch the little priss pot in action. She was thrilled to have them in her cheering section and begged them to take her to the park afterwards...they of course obliged. We had a super fun day!!!!

A Shower for Walker

We are so very blessed to be a part of an AMAZING church!!! Yesterday, our sweet friends hosted a shower for Walker. We were overwhelmed to say the least!!This little girl was a VERY happy camper because she had Nana and Pop and Kay Kay and G to love on her. She was so sad when they all went home and she was just left with J and me!!!

These are some of my sweet girls from D group. I am so lucky to get to hang out with these girls each week. They are awesome!!!!!
And a shower would not be complete without J modeling some of Walker's goodies!!!
It was a great day for sure and just helped us get even more excited about our little man's arrival!!!

Flower Child

Ella Kate was asked by my cousin Katie to be her flower girl this summer. To say that EK is excited would be an understatement. Thanks to this gorgeous weather in south Mississippi, we have been spending our afternoons outside. EK has developed a love for picking all our weeds...I mean flowers. While picking flowers, she tells me this, "it's my work to pick all the flowers. That's because I am Tatie's flower girl and I have to get all the flowers everywhere!" I think she is taking her job pretty seriously!!!

Not Irish, but still pretty kissable, don't you think?
