I just tell ya, there is just something about a coon hat! I guess it reminds me of Cole so much that I just had to buy one. I bought this one for Cole, but of course it is to little. My Mom and Dad bought Cole one at Cracker Barrel years ago. he wore it out and the tail finally broke loose.
I had to show this little girl her picture with it on before she would keep it on her head…silly girl!!!
Taken with one of my new lens!!!
Sisters!!!
Had to take Bentley back to the doctor today. He has thrush, poor baby.
I am recording this for his baby book…lol….because his Mom just does not have a whole lot of time to write in a book!!! Wonder why! LOL!! I would not have a clue!
After pictures and a delicious lunch with family and friends (Rocky and Robbie Adams, Earl Dasher and Chloe)…. the real fun began!!!
Let the Egg Hunt Begin.
Isabella was all over this egg hunt! She was serious about finding eggs!!! And boy did she!!!
Cayden found lots of eggs also…but he liked throwing them, finding the candy in them and mashing them!!! Boys will be boys!!!
A few more precious shots of these two…..a great age for egg hunting!!!
Next, the competitors!!! All about finding that money!!!
Prize Egg
Stressed!!!
Bentley’s First Easter
Some friends, are just simply “family”, including Earl…Where did he go? Rocky and his family lived down the road from us for years! He is like a brother to me and his wife, Robbie…she just as well be one of the sister’s also. Many a night of playing cards has taken place between the four of us….so much laughter and fun!!! Lots of cook outs, unlocking cars…..lol, hunting and fishing!!!Two of my favorite folks for sure!!!”
Josie and Cole. I just love them, they are always so helpful to us older folks….looking forward to April 2013! Bentley loves him some Josie! Cole said they would just adopt him…lol!!!
After the egg hunt it was time for more fun!
Just Pictures
Let me just say…….I LOVE MY FRONT PORCH AND BACK PORCH!!! Many good times spent and memories shared with family and friends!!!
A blessed Day!
Today I am just finishing up preparing for Easter dinner tomorrow. I am cooking and adding a few touches here and there.
We have a wedding late afternoon. A young man who we have known since he was a baby!!! So excited for him and his precious family!!! So I have to get things done!
The tables and chairs are set up on the back porch when… I spot this lizard.For some reason I think he needs to be removed, since the porch is screened in and such…wouldn't want it to cause a stampede or anything!!!
There is a rocking chair right here, I have a wet cloth in my hand. I’ll just hop up here and smack at him, when he falls, I will put him outside. Right? WRONG!
This chair has a cushion in it, no problem, just a little swat that's all I need. Up in the chair I go, need to inch a little closer……. take a step…….I believer the cushion flew and down we go (we as in chair and myself)! Backwards, not forwards! No way to catch myself!!! I hit the right side of my head near the base on the arm of a chair, I think about the same time my left rear cheek hit the concrete floor. Then the upper left arm and shoulder hit another chair on the way down!I know the concrete is near!
Finally…I have landed with a little bump to the other side of the head …..fade to black, not for long…..but fade to black!!!
Oh boy I am in some pain….and all I could think was, I need one of those buttons that I can press….” help, i have fallen and I can’t get up”! Yes I am laughing and hurting…..near about everything is hurting!!! That was stupid, really stupid!!!
I decided I would just stay put for a few minutes, the floor was clean, nice and cool. Then I looked up and what did I see…that stupid lizard just staring at me and I am sure he was laughing!!! As I was sprawled out licking my wounds, I pondered, how long would I lay here before my husband came home? I decide I may as well peel myself up off the concrete, because it would be awhile!!! I am sure the outline of my body is still embedded!!!LOL!!!
Lesson learned…no climbing in rocking chairs any more!!! And if you are scared of lizards, stay off the back porch.
Next time….shoot him Elizabeth!!!
We are having our Easter Gathering, after Easter, as almost always!!!
We got together and dyed eggs this afternoon. It was so much fun! Lots of laughter and fun!
I will begin with the oldest (1) go to the youngest (4)!
Kylie has been sick, so she is not her normal “talkative” self! Poor thing!!! But, she is trying to feel better! She seemed to have a good time though!
Number two----Isabella. She enjoyed herself very much! She liked dying the eggs and she liked putting the dye on herself!!! She could put those eggs right in the cup!
Number three-Cayden. He enjoyed the egg coloring also. He has become very independent and would just as well do it by himself! He liked “messing and dabbling” in it as my Mother would say!!! He also did not mind if there were a few eggs in the cup! He is very hands on!!!
Number four-Bentley, could care less at this point if he colored any eggs. As long as he is full, he is good! But we did take some pictures!!! And I even have a finger that was dyed!!!
Our little Cayden man! He is trying to be so independent! He wants to feed himself and if you do not let him….he will just plain and simply, not eat!!! Little rascal!!!
I got a couple of new lenses for my birthday, so I am trying to get used to them as you can tell in the pictures below!
We took a little day trip today. Girls day at the beach!!! Casey, Kylie, Isabella and myself. It was such a beautiful day and the girl had an awesome time playing.
At first Isabella did not want sand on her feet, so she stayed on the blanket. She did sit by me in the chair for a little while. But when she got a little taste of playing in the water, that was the end of no sand in between the toes-----she loved it!!! Back and forth with shells that Kylie had picked up, from the bucket to her Mom’s hand---at least an hour!!! She was so stinking cute!!!
Kylie was playing from the first second. She absolutely loved finding the shells and playing in the sand and water!!! Oh, and she loved all the boys! She had never seen so many boys in all one place in all of her life!!!
The beach was not crowded and I enjoyed that, but I oh so loved watching the girls enjoy themselves.
Thank you Casey for making this trip with me. It was so nice to spend time with you and your girls. Love you so much!!!
Momma J, I hadn't ever seen so many boys in all my life! Said with the biggest smile you ever saw!!! Oh dear, we are in trouble!!! Her Papa is not going to like this at all!!! Bahaha!!!
Now I am on to why she was so willing to share her sand dollars!!!
Kylie and I were looking at some old pictures on my computer. She saw this one and asked me, “what's moma doing in this picture, is she dressed up in a costume for something?” LOL---NO, it was Easter!!! Tooooo funny!!! Through the eyes of a child and right out of the mouth!
Note: It is taking both of them to keep this little wiggle worm from escaping!!! The O (circle) of life, it just keeps on running. Love my kiddo’s!
I kept the boys and a puppy again today and oh boy was it a wild day!!! I know that I am re-living my Mothers life.
I remember her keeping Macie and Ally and them getting a puppy. I remember her telling me that one minute Macie was after the puppy and the next minute the puppy was after her! And that is exactly what I was doing yesterday!!! I finally put the dog in the bathroom!!!
Bentley was rather ill, who could blame him after three shots. He is also very stuffy, poor thing…and he will still look up at you and smile. He loves to eat!!! He also found his fists today! And he napped in his crib!!! I can just eat him up and I so see his Mom when I look at him!
Cayden was just in to every thing! At one point he was by me on the couch, I'm feeding Bentley when he decided he would play with the blind. I told him, no-don’t play with that…he just looked at me and kept on….I told him again, same scenario with a cute little smile (little Cayla)! I tapped him a little on the leg….no change. I told him that if he did not mind me then he could stand in the corner or go to his room ( his Mom puts him in the corner and he stands there, funniest thing ever)! He then cut his eyes to farthest part of his eye, looked at me and pointed and said something I did not understand. Then, proceeded to climb back on the couch, sit down beside me for his time out. In a minute or two he reached over and loved me for his I’m sorry!!! Heart melt!!!
When I got ready to go home, he stood beside me and was waving bye to his Mom…lol! She said, oh no, I have not seen you all day and your not going bye-bye!!!
A great day, but these babies are for young peeps!!!
