Well, Hello...

How are you? I've missed you my Blog Friends! We had a great week off. I didn't have the whole week off...but most of it. We visited with Grandmas, Grandpas, MeMe's, PaPa's, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Brothers and many others. We had fun with friends and we spent a lot of time at home too. I believe Spring has finally arrived here in MO. Every day I see more green everywhere I go. Here is a little snapshot of our week...

Beautiful sunset after a heavy downpour...

Walks around campus are becoming more enjoyable with the warmer weather and the blooms are starting to pop out...

I hid LOTS of these this week. The boys participated in several Easter Egg Hunts...Fun Times!

We did lots of running around and not just looking for eggs...

Candy colored Tulips...perfect for Easter...

At the end of the week we looked at our stash and realized that we had lots of yummy candy but also good friends and a great families...We Are Blessed!

I haven't visited you lately and I can't wait to see what's been going on in your lives for the past week. I hope you all had a great Easter!

Oh, and this little post is my 200th.

200...can you believe that? 200 posts means I'm going to have a fun giveaway sometime this week. Stay Tuned...it's really cute!! And speaking of giveaways...I won one recently and I'll be posting a great big Thank You and photos soon!

Talk To You Soon,

Jackie

Easter 2009 and what we've been up to...

I haven't posted much lately because we've been so busy. I've missed being in blogland and haven't kept up with reading other blogs much either...I'm making up for lost time and didn't get to bed as early as I should have last night.

Easter has come and gone but I'm posting a few pictures of our Easter celebrating now. On Easter weekend our friends Joy, Josh, Brandon and Benjamin moved to the west coast for their new Army adventure. We'll miss them stopping by and hanging out. Joy, if you're reading this you'd better call me when you get settled. (:

I've also been working in the yard and gardens a lot clearing out the leaves to give the plants that are coming up some sunlight. I don't have any pictures yet because it's just not that pretty right now. What else...hmmm...I've been shopping at my favorite resale shop and I've posted a picture of my latest treasures here. I spent a whopping $19.00 total on the items in the picture. That's really about it. We're getting ready for Kyler's 3rd birthday this weekend, baseball season has started for Kobe and gardening is beginning...it will be a very busy spring and summer.

Hope you have a great day!

They boys dunking their eggs. This was Kyler's first time (I think)

Ahhh...they love each other!

My resale shop finds...very cool!

My Easter centerpiece that I copied out of a magazine. Can you see the peeps in there? The centerpiece lasted..maybe...24 hours...jelly beans and peeps stolen by some grubby little hands..I think Dad stole some too. Okay, I'm guilty too.
