Easter

Easter Sunday was a great day. I had the whole family at church with me. (which I usually do) After church we went to Buddy's Uncle Bobby & Aunt Peggy's house for family dinner. My mom & dad joined us this year. I have no clue how many were there but there was a bunch. Sometimes this is the only time of the year that we see some of the other family members. So, it is good to be able to gather, socialize, and catch up on what everyone has been doing throughout the year. We had Bobby's famous grilled pork chops and the rest of us brought sides & desserts. After we ate, the kids had an egg hunt. It was a beautiful day and very warm.
Shelby smiles with her eyes even if she has her mouth closed.
One of the few pics I was able to capture of Trevor with his cute smile. He was not in the mood for pics today. Mitchell didn't seem to have a problem with a smile.
My sweet grandkids (I am so blessed) Mitchell loves his baby sister (Shelbers as he calls her) My family (so proud of them all) Sanford Family (Nolen was having a rough time) Carey family Nolen & Mitchell were striking the pose in the next 3 pics.

Grilling/Jumping/Flying/Hunting

Wow, what a great week we have had. The weather has been incredible. I was able to get on my tractor and mow, which is one of my favorite things to do. The Bradford trees were in full bloom earlier in the week and are now quickly turning green. It is so refreshing to see springtime. Other than Buddy's allergies (pretty rough on him right now)
Last night was Nolen & Trevor's first time on the trampoline. It is so funny to watch Trevor's hair fly when he is jumping. Mitchell wasn't feeling real good, so he didn't do much jumping. John performed a few tricks for them. They then went to the front of the house and flew the kite, blew some bubbles and got their easter baskets, while me & mom hid the eggs in the backyard. Didn't take them long to find them. Nolen racked up with the most eggs. I don't put candy in them, just money, & they didn't all have the same amount, so not sure who came out the best on that. Then they had a water balloon fight. I think they all got Papaw pretty good. We then went up to the bonus room & Nolen & Grandmother played Connect 4. Kristin, John & Nolen played Twister. Mitchell didn't do much at all, (he just wasn't himself) Trevor & Papaw wrestled and Shelby just sat in the floor and blew bubbles out of her mouth. Her new trick .
We got the kids a trampoline for Christmas, but waited on the weather to warm up before we put it together. John & Kristin came a couple of weeks ago and put it together for us (with a little help of Mitchell) Helping mommy & daddy put the trampoline together.
First jumper High flying Our first almost major injury. John was turning flips and came right down on his head. Popped the neck pretty good. Mitchell loves his sister
