Spring Break

We had a great Spring Break. Spending time with family. We first went fishing and then to the Wilderness. I ended Spring Break by attending the Joyce Meyer conference with my mom, Aunt Connie, Megan, Aunt Gail and Marci. We had such a wonderful time visiting and catching up without children. Marci came in from New Orleans to go with us and we were so glad to spend some time with her.

The Wilderness







I am so glad I had the opportunity to catch all these memories for you (because that waster was freezing!)

FISHING

This is Rylee after about 10 minutes of fishing. However, she did not do this long either. I failed to get a picture of her, but she would have rather played in the worms than do anything at all.


Tucker caught 12 fish! He would say, "Daddy I set the hook!" He would reel one in as soon as he casted it out. I would sneak and throw mine in his spot while he was getting the fish off, but I didn't have as much luck as him. He seems to think it was his hook.


Rylee did reel one in!

Easter Festivities

Tucker at his egg hunt at school! They also got a visit from the Easter Bunny, but since the same bunny was going to be at our church egg hunt on Sunday we decided to let the other kids enjoy his visit!!!

On the starting line...

And he's off!!!
Our next stop was at Doo and Gramps church egg hunt. We had a great time!

On your mark, get set, GO

And she's off

Tucker is looking for the prize egg
He found it! It was a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart and he had to have the cd- "Big Green Tractor"
We decided since Easter morning is so busy that we would give the kids their Easter gifts on Saturday morning. You got it, Tucker is into cowboys and Rylee loves styling hair!



Our next stop was at our church egg hunt. We had to do it across the street since we are in the process of building a new sanctuary. It turned out great, except for the visit from the Easter Bunny- Rylee couldn't stand him!

Rylee Kate before she spotted the Easter Bunny


and After the Easter Bunny


Tucker and his cousin Brody have became very close over the past few months- They are best of friends.


Dying the eggs. This has always been a tradition since I can remember, dying eggs the night before Easter. Thankfully my parents have continued the same tradition with my two kids.

All smiles


This is some serious decorating


Check out his tongue


Doo taking her turn


and Gramps- of course he just thought it was hilarious to but blue dye on Tucker's nose. I think he forgot it doesn't come off easy.


Daddy even took his turn


and on to the gifts from Doo and Gramps. They got their own yard tools and loved them!


Egg hunt at Nana and Papaws
There was a little more competition to find the prize egg, of course they all got a prize!

On the starting line

And their OFF!

Easter morning- We took a few pictures of the family before church...

Our last stop was at Doc's. We had a fun time with the family. Of course the best part was the "annual egg fight!"

Football?

I always wanted a little "tomboy". I believe that is just what I got.
