Easter

O.K. Aunt Judy told Jeremy she was mad because I hadn't posted the Easter pics yet. I'm sorry. I'll put them up now. Hey, better late than never! We had a great Easter. Nana and Pawpaw came over earlier in the weekend and we were able to play with them and take them to Cock of the Walk...yummy! On Easter day we ate lunch with the college students who were here for the holiday. Since Easter didn't fall on Spring Break weekend a lot of them couldn't go home. So a bunch of us got together and cooked a potluck for them. It was fun. We had them hide Easter eggs for our kids and while they were doing that we hid eggs for them. Inside THEIR eggs were lots of coupons that local businesses had donated to them. They really got some good stuff! You should have seen the kids racing for the eggs...both the little kids and the BIG kids. I don't know who was more excited!!! Enjoy the pics.

This past week!

I want to thank all of you for praying for the Kyser family this past week. It's been a very difficult and heartbreaking week. But God has given us a very strong, loving family and most importantly He's given us His strong, loving arms. We are now back in Mississippi and getting back into some sort of routine. Here are some pics of this past week. We went to the Montgomery zoo (which btw, puts the Jackson zoo to shame!) and tried to do some fun stuff with the kids. We really enjoyed all of our family time this past week. I hope you enjoy the pics!

Privacy

O.K. a friend of mine brought up some scary information about child pornography, etc. due to their kids pictures being on blogs and on the internet. I hate to delete my blog completely but it's not worth my children's safety. I am going to try out this new privacy setting first to see how it works. I've invited people from my email list to view the blog. It can now (supposedly) only be viewed by people I invite. I don't have everyone's email address though so I may have some upset friends/family for a while. Hopefully they'll email me and find out what's going on. Please let me know how this works. If it's too much trouble I'll just delete. BTW...most of these pics that I post are also on facebook, in which I also have high security settings. So if you'd like to be my friend on fb just ask!

I'm just trying this out. My children's safety is of utmost importance, of course. But I want to be able to share with family and friends about my children. So I hope this works.

Beth Moore Conference!

I was blessed to be able to go with a group of ladies from my church to hear Beth Moore this past weekend! What a joy that was, both to be away from home on a girl's retreat and to be hearing a Word from one of my favorite Bible study ladies. We had an amazing time. God truly blessed us this weekend. Beth taught on 1 Thes. 5:11-19. I especially love vs. 16-18, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Thank you, Lord for wonderful, Godly friends to help guide me through your Word.
