HE IS RISEN!!!

HE IS RISEN INDEED!! Jesus Christ that is!

We started our Sunday morning getting up at 4:45 AM!! Nope, that is not a typo! Our church was having a "Son rise" service at 6 AM. It was out doors, under a covered tent with a huge heat lamp to keep us warm. And the message was beautiful. Joel, who was giving the sermon, was explaining how incomprehensible heaven will be for those who put their trust in Jesus. We all get little glimpses of what we think heaven will be like, but to know that my brain cannot comprehend the awesomeness of God and what He has waiting for us.... I just can't wrap my brain around it!!!

After the service we went to the Pancake House for breakfast, left the camera home at this point so this is a picture of Jade's camera phone picture! I'm a little cut off on the left and Kent is almost all the way cut off on the right! Oh well, Aurora, Jeromy and Jade are front and center looking cute!!!

Then we went back to our church for the regular Sunday morning service at 10 AM. This one was indoors :o) It was really good. Our pastor did this really great outline of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Alot of people will say they can't trust the Bible because of the contradictions. That's an easy cop out. When you actually study the scriptures, and with this outline our pastor wrote up with the parallel passages it's so clear. It was a great service.

Afterwards we headed over to my parents house for a great Easter dinner at 1pm.We got Kelsey a little present because... well just because she's Kelsey!! What is it? What is it?

It's a soft gray bunny and a book about the life of Jesus and what Easter is really all about! Kelsey liked it!

Here's Kelsey finding the eggs. She had no other competition for finding the eggs, so she was able to get them all! YAY!!! It really was like the paparazzi with my mom, Misty and myself snapping pictures right and left. And Kelsey was so good she almost posed for a picture every time she found an egg! First a little video...

Here's Misty and I... super cute! You're such a munchkin Misty!!

Aurora and Jade...

Aurora and Kelsey...

This was the first Easter Jeromy got to have his daughter- ever! So this was pretty exciting!!! Aurora is such a little angel! She loves her daddy! And he definitely loves her!!

After a great dinner- thanks mom and dad!- it was time to take Aurora home waaahhhhh!!

Then, just when you thought it was safe to put your pajamas on! We were invited to Kyle's baptism at 6PM. So we headed over to Laura and Jason's church. It was really nice. Kyle is such a great awesome kid with such a hilarious sense of humor "Hellooo!", it was great to hear him talk about his faith in Jesus! And then to watch him get totally submerged in the water!!!

Here's Kyle and of course JULIA- we LOVE you Julia! and all the rest of you Trig kids: Austin, Tessa, Tae', Nadia, Beriah, Alex, Iana, Aiden and Ashton- just before he was about to be dunked! (Again thanks to our cool camera phones you get a picture of a picture- I know-lame).

Here's Kyle in the tank of water giving his testimony...

So after all the fun we were finally headed home. And what does God do to round out our day?? Show us a beautiful rainbow!!! A double rainbow even!!

And lastly, I thought you'd enjoy a picture of 2 teenagers doing their own laundry... and the kicker??? I didn't have to remind them or tell them or anything!! God is amazing!!!

He is risen! He is risen indeed! God bless!
