The big "50"

Empty cupcake stand because my dog had a party without me! Ha Ha!
A cute new shirt! A new pair of running shoes!! Yes, I love it!

In March I had a very special day and celebrated my birthday with my family! I am officially 50 years old. I love it! It feels like a new beginning to a different time in my life. I am excited to be 50. I thank God for my family and the life that I have been given. We had a nice lunch at Olive Garden and when we came back for Dessert (angel food cake cupcakes with strawberries, blueberries, and homemade whip cream) We discovered all the cupcakes had been devoured! Not one cake was left! Not even a cupcake liner. Nothing! Zippo! Murphy had a party with out me. Oh boy!!

Pizza! Did I hear Pizza?


We learned about the history of pizza and had fun with fractions. We made mini pizza's too! If the word Pizza is mentioned in our house words cannot describe the passion for Pizza. Well, Mike is crazy about it! We can drive by Fatso's Pizza and Mike will find some reason to buy a Pizza Pie. Aaron works at a Pizza Restaurant and he eats pizza everyday! Our recycle bin is stuffed with pizza boxes. Oh and Aaron ate 15 slices on a cruise ship for a snack. Sooooo Pizza! It is an important food in the Lowe House!

Easter Blessing craft...Each day for twelve days before Easter we are reading a scripture about the Easter Story. Then when we open the egg & there is a fun activity to do for others and our community. For example today Hannah is going to pick up trash in the neighborhood. We pray for our enemies too! Rejoice! Jesus is Alive!

This is the Day the Lord has Made. Let us Rejoice and Be Glad in it! Psalm 118:24
Spring is here and preparing for Easter is such a special time. We have been making plates for each season and having so much fun! Hannah wanted to make a flower out of her hand print.
