Wordless Wednesday

Okay, so not really wordless. Yes, Ethan is almost 11. He is actually cleaning up a mess. He left a red ball point pen in the pocket of his shorts, which in turn got left all over the dryer. Thankfully I was able to get it out of all the clothes. They hadn't dried all the way when I discovered what had happened.

This reminds me of a Christmas when I was in Junior High. I didn't have many clothes back then and what I did have probably all came from garage sales. Well, I got this really nice shirt with a rainbow on the front of it for Christmas and one of my brothers put a crayon in the dryer and it ruined my new shirt. I never even got to wear to school. Oh, the things we remember.

Emma Rose Baby Blessing

We are so glad we live close enough (5hrs) to family that we are able to be a part of some of these special occasions. Darrin gave a beautiful blessing to Emma. And of course there was a fabulous feast afterwards with all the family and friends. Here are all the pictures we took of Emma during our visit. This was our first time to meet her. She is already 3 months old (born December 19) and is a cutie and oh so sweet.

I think all the grandkids have their fingers wrapped around Grandpa's pinkie.

Not quite sure why we let him do this....

Spring Break in Decatur

We spent the end of our Spring Break up in Decatur at my parent's house. It is nice that 3 of my 4 brothers and their families all live up there too. We had a mega breakfast feast at Eric & Mandi, Super Slip-n-Slide Fun and even an Easter Egg Hunt. We were also able to be there for Baby Emma's blessing, but that will be different post.

I have posted ALL of these pictures for my wonderful family who make fun of my blogging abilities and yet ask me to post all the pictures so they can see them and/or have access to them. LOVE YA!

Macy is going to be wonderful mommy someday.

I followed these guys all around trying to get a picture and this is the best one.

Rachel & Little Scottie, oops I mean Little Matthew.

Cutie girlies....

We went to Eric & Mandi's for our Breakfast Feast: homegrown scrambled eggs, bacon, homemade sweet rolls, blueberry muffins, crepes and fruit galore. Thanks guys, we'd visit for that anytime.When there is an audience the boys will perform...

...and the girls.

The Super Slip-n-Slide that Uncle Darrin made for all the kids. He put blankets under the plastic AND had one hose with cold water and another hose with hot water that was hooked up to the hot water heater. NICE!!!

I had to post this picture. Look at those knees! Ouch!

Max & Lauren pretending to not be Cold.

No longer pretending.

Cute Cute Cute!!!

This BoY makes me HaPpY!

Getting Ready for take off at our early Easter Egg Hunt. My Mom & Dad decided to do an Easter Hunt while all the grandkids were here and this was major hunt, too. The Easter Bunny's helpers had no mercy when hiding these eggs.

Nothing like a few extra helpers to sweep up all the dirt up in the BaCkYaRd.

Saying Good-bye to Grandma, until next time.
