Easter With The Family

   This Easter was so special to me.  I got to spend it with family.  Thanks to all to make this year a memorable year.  Bobby Sue came home and David spent the week with us.

   David helped Uncle Larry all week build the fence in the backyard.

   Bobby Sue and Roman arrived in Huntsville on Thursday night late.  They come over on Friday morning.  Bobi Ann dropped Kati Ann off for a fun filled day.  Kati Ann and I went to the church next door to play on the slide.  She is so fun and I just love her laugh.  We took photos for our art project.  I had taken Kie's photos a few days earlier at work.

  Just have to say that I had just prayed to God to give me an opportunity to get a new photo of Kie before the weekend and around the corner Jared walks in holding Kie.  What an amazing God to answer prayers so fast.

   Kati Ann and I played with the hose with David.   We climbed on Uncle Larry's bike .  We played kick ball with David and Lauren.  And we practiced hiding Easter eggs and then finding them.

    Bobby Sue brought her paintings with her for a show on Easter Sunday.  She has become an amazing artist.  Darrin's Mom and I hung all the paintings and then we gave each one a name.  Bobby Sue enjoyed the names for most of them.  A few she changed the names.  This one she left for me and is my favorite.  We called it Sew-Much.

    On Saturday morning I took Kati Ann home to spend the day with her daddy and picked up Kie.

That little boy is so cute and so amazing.  I just can't get enough of his giggle.

    Kie loved Milo's chair.  I have enjoyed every child that has sat in this chair over the years.  Kie is the first since Bobby Sue to really enjoy this chair.  He figured out how to get it rocking.  He spent the better part of a half hour just playing on this chair and giggling.

    Fred and Camille came down on Saturday evening and we went to dinner.  We had burgers in Providence.  It was fun and we ate to much food.

   The next morning was Easter and we started cooking so when everybody arrived we could eat.  Bobby Sue and Roman arrived and then Tory, Nicole, Caitlyn and Carson arrived.  Soon after Bobi Ann, Jared, Kati Ann and Kie arrived.  We waited a little while before having a Easter Egg hunt hoping April and Jordan would arrive.

    We decided to go ahead with the hunt and turned the kids loose.  The ran all over the back yard.  The got tired before finding all the eggs.  I had to chuckle over that.  Then we all sat down and ate dinner.

    Kati Ann and Kie stayed the night and we had fun.  Kati Ann went to watch the rocket launch with Darrin, Bobby Sue, Caitlyn and Carson.  They had fun doing that. 

  What a fun weekend!!!!  I am looking forward to many more weekends like this one.  Thanks to everyone for making this year so special.  Thanks to Kati Ann and Kie for distracting me from what would have been a sad weekend with out them.  Thank you God for the blessing you give me!!
