Easter

One of my favorite Holidays is Easter. Seems like you get to celebrate for a few days. We are so blessed to live so close to both of our families that we can hit all the parties.



Saturday started in our neighborhood with a Easter egg hunt and some face painting and of course riding the pony.


Then we went to the Almond party, for some more Easter egg hunting but these eggs are filled with money. My kids ended up with lots of coins and lots of cash (thank you LaRae) the kids can't wait to spend all their Easter money. The food always delicious. As you can see Addison enjoying the ham.


Then we headed to my parents for more fun. Another Easter egg hunt and more food. The kids were happy with their presents from grandma make up and Legos.




Overall we had a wonderful weekend and are so grateful for all that we have.

I'm a quitter....

Cade is our only boy and Jeff is bound and determined to get him to like sports. We put him in everything from basketball, soccer and baseball, he doesn't really like to play, but we think it's good for him to be involved in sports.
Baseball season just started, It was his first practice and he was in the out field messing around, not paying attention when someone hit the ball in his direction and it hit him right in the mouth. His little lips were so swollen and he was pretty upset. The following Tuesday he had practice and he didn't want to got because he didn't want to hit in the mouth again. I talked him into going and when we got there, he got really nervous and said I don't ever want to play, I'm just going to get hurt. I told him that he would be fine, he just had to pay attention and that he had committed to his team and that he is an ALMOND and we are not quitters and he looked at me and said you are not a quitter but I'm a quitter and I'm okay with that!!!!
