Centerville, Indiana

This weekend was a wonderful weekend. I got to go to Indiana to be with family and old friends. Mom and Aunt Connie put together a baby shower brunch. It was a "Book Shower"--everyone brought their favorite children's book and wrote their words of wisdom on the inside cover of the book. There were people of all ages at the shower--so, it was fun and interesting to get so many different pieces of advice. I really liked this idea-- someone said to video tape all the Great Grandparents and Grandparents reading a book--that way your kids will have that to treasure in the years to come. The table was set up so pretty!
Delicious Sweet treats! Look at these cookies that my Mom made--sweet little baby hands!

Happy 60th Birthday AUNT CONNIE!! We got to celebrate Aunt Connie's bday with a pizza party at Grandma Rhodes' house on Friday night!!!

He Paid a Debt He Did Not Owe

"He paid a debt He did not owe,
I owed a debt I could not pay.
I needed someone
to wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song
"Amazing Grace" all day long.
Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay!"

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
We had a great Easter! We celebrated early with my Dad and Grandma about 2 weeks ago-- then got to be with Mom & Cappie on Wednesday. This weekend we went to Chattanooga on Saturday to hang out with Lana, Ben, and the Larson's to celebrate Lana's 30th BIRTHDAY!! She turned 30 today--on Easter!!! Today I was lucky to get off of work early and we were able to meet Brandon's family at their church for the Easter service--then we headed to the Crim's to have an Easter feast with his whole family. Listen to the menu--(it was so good--it makes me FULL just typing it all out!!): Ham, green beans, creamed corn, broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, orange salad, rolls, and for dessert--coconut cake!!!

You just can't help but smile when you see something like this when you are driving!!! We passed this guy and his golden retriever out on a Sunday drive while we were headed to church-the sun was out-they had the top down-the wind was blowing through their hair... the dog was so happy and just living it up! He had a good Easter!!
