Abraham Lincoln Birthplace

Kylah has been studying the presidents at school and really wanted to go to Washington DC. We decided that Hodgenville was much closer and we could learn a little more about our 16th president from the great state of Ky for now and make a trek to DC when both kids can appreciate it.

Then, we went for a hike!!

Hot Rods Game

Saturday night, we attended a Hot Rods game. We had promised the kids fireworks after the game...who knew the game would go into extra innings and it would be after 11 before the fireworks actually started??? The kids didn't get in bed until after 11:30!!

Fireworks after the game!

Lads to Leaders Song Leading

Kylah was able to lead a song at Lads to Leaders this year. She did a wonderful job singing, "Awesome God." She worked so hard and you can see at the end that she wasn't really ready for the song to end, we practiced it differently than the other ladies in the room sang it. She didn't get to close the song at the end and she was a bit upset about that. She still did an excellent job!!

Easter Party

Yesterday was Kylah's Easter Party/Egg Hunt at school.

Ready to find some eggs!!

Seeing what all she got!

Fierce Beauty

Fierce Beauty, by Kim Meedor is a book about true beauty. "True beauty is not about how you look but how you live." God does call us to be beautiful, just not in the way the world tries to tell us. Righteous beauty is described as a sunset, nothing can stop it from happening. What a wonderful insight to God's plan for us. My goal is to attain this righteous beauty! Meedor gives many examples from her adventurous life in this book. She makes real life connections of forgiveness, trust and a purpose for living. ********************************************* I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
