Easter Sunday

This years Easter was crazy.

We woke early to read the Resurrection and get to our friends baby blessing. Taelie looked beautiful in her dress and Jennifer and Ben were beaming parents. After we went for a bite to eat . Jennifer had made this amazing fruit bouquet that looked and tasted incredible.

Then off to my parents house for the traditional festivities.

We did an "Egg Toss Championship" again this year. In case you are not familiar with this I will tell you how it works. Our family decorates a dozen plus eggs. Then there is a face off. Each member is paired with another member and they roll their eggs towards each other. When the two eggs hit, one egg will always break and one will stay in tact. The winner of the round will take his/her winning egg and face off a winner of another round. Until it comes down to the final four. The last four have two rounds. And the final egg still in tact is the winner!!! Award with an amazing prize. The greatest part is that it spans the ages. Peach to Grandpa can play and win. Fun Fun Fun.

We always have an egg hunt also. More than a hundred eggs are hidden around the yard. Large ones, regular sized ones, and mini ones. In them are either candy or a number. If it is a number you get, you have hit the jack pot! After all the eggs have been found (or at least all the ones we can find) we take our numbers to the prize room and according to your number you get to pick something great. The prizes range from DVDs to flip flops to nail polish, or a mystery envelope with different amounts of money in them.

Dinner is always good with talking and games to round out the whole evening.

I hope your day was as good as ours.

Were We Really That Young Once?

I NEVER do the tag thing. I don't know why. But I looked up this one and thought it was a great excuse to show this picture.

The rules: Go to your picture files. Pick the 4th file, and the 4th picture in it. Tell alittle about the picture.


This is my mom and dad. I think it is there engagement picture. I know it is of them before they were married. They look so young, so happy, and so glad to be together. They have been married for 34 years now. I think they still look as young and as happy and as gald to be together as they did back then.

Trick or Treat

My mom makes these amazing trick or treat bags for all of her grandkids. We all love them so much. No pillow cases for these kids! This one my mom just gave to Peach, but Isabel fit in perfectly. She certainly is a treat for all of us. :)
