Belated Happy Easter

I LOVE Easter. I love that it means it's spring (even if the weather would suggest otherwise). I love spending time with family. The candy - nothing can compete with Easter candy.

Then there is that tiny little detail of celebrating a risen Lord. Yeah, that's pretty cool too. I can't help myself. I. Love. It

After church in Keizer, we went to spend the afternoon with the fam and extended fam. We ate, cuddled the rug-rats, ate, hunted for Easter candy, and ate - hey, when you find something you're good at...


Speaking of being good at things, I could have totally dominated that egg hunt this year. If only they had given me a basket...


So how about this face? And the power shirt? And the stinking cute suit? Have I mentioned that I am in love with this little boy?


Meanwhile, the Q was rather smitten with his "baby" cousin.


And I was quite smitten with this guy. I mean, how could I help myself, right?

Just in case you need to keep that image from burning into your retinas, here's one more of our Q-T:

It didn't rain today.

Amen.

A weekend with the fam

I don't have anything witty or funny, but I do have a few pics from our weekend in RR. It was Jesse's b-day, but this guy may have stolen the show.

We had a great time. Eating, running, eating, and eating. Plus it was the youth hunt weekend for turkeys, so Zach, Ryan and Ross did a little hunting as well. Unfortunately, this year didn't bring home the prize that they took last year. They still enjoyed themselves, and the rest of us enjoyed cuddling this turkey with the bedhead and sweet camo overalls.

To top the weekend off, it didn't rain on us for two whole days. My prune hands started to un-shrivel, and we could almost pretend like it was spring. I even managed a couple of spring like pictures in Mom's garden.


A random one of Dad's shop, just for fun.


I'll leave you with the diaper shot that I just couldn't resist. Check out those legs, and you've got to love that wide baby stance.

National Sundae Sunday

You know you have a good friend, when she calls you up with the purpose of informing you that it's National Sundae Day. She knew I wouldn't want to miss out on observing this very important holiday. She was right.
