Our Easter Eggs. It’s a little funny to me that we had to make a special trip to buy white eggs for dying.

Here’s a full view of our garden spot.
As it turns out, it’s a great place to play. I gave the Alli and one of her friends a few seeds and an area they could use for planting. I really need to go buy more seeds and some tomato plants.
Remember just a couple of weeks ago when the rose bush had all of those buds? Just look at it now!
This is one of the Aster Lilies (also known as Tiger Lilies) that I transplanted from the side of the house when we redid it. I did not kill it! Even though they aren’t standing as straight as they should be, I’m super excited they are even blooming.
Today was the Easter Egg Hunt for the first graders. Greg was kind enough to volunteer and take pictures for me. Here they all are, heading out to the starting location.
At the starting spot. On your mark!
Hunting the eggs. This one is like a “Where’s Waldo”. I don’t even think Alli is in it 
Eggs are all gathered and time to enjoy lunch.
Ugh! I am not taking any more pictures of the chicks until they reach adulthood. I think I jinx them. Greg went out to check on them and this is what he found. A snake with two big lumps. The other six are hiding behind the roost in the corner.
A coworker with a tractor offered to till up a big garden spot for us. I don’t know if I’ll use the whole area, but it sure is nice to have it.
Entertaining herself at a softball game.
Eight is great!
I am always excited when I see that they have figured out how to jump on their roost.
I took a picture of this a few weeks ago on a different trip to Shreveport. Something was different this time. The dancing lady is sporting a jersey for the local hockey team.
More of our Shreveport visit for Nathan’s birthday. We stopped in Claires where Zoey and Alli each found something they loved. Zoey found some clear glasses (since she actually can wear glasses, I didn’t really see the appeal but I am just an uncool mom) and Alli found a hat that suits her.
I love this picture of Zoey. Not only is she beautiful, but she looks so self-confident. The same can be said of Alli in the next picture adding in that she is also a goofball.
We were waiting for the boys somewhere and Alli wanted to jump out and scare Nathan. He looks frightened, right? That’s only because he is frightened of me taking his picture.
