Easter Egg Hunt #2

 We did a second Easter Egg Hunt

on Easter Sunday!

 Caelie couldn't be here for the Egg Hunt

we had in the mountains

and was disappointed because

she missed it, so we did another one!

Grace and Olivia missed

the second one.

But Brilyn made it to BOTH!

I think she ended up with

over $50 in prize money from both

hunts combined!

And she's become an expert

at Easter Egg Hunting!

 



Happy Birthday Dustin!

Happy Birthday, Dustin!

Today is Dustin's Birthday!

Dustin is my wonderful son in law.

He's husband to my

daughter, Heather.

And he's "Daddy" to my

sweet little grand daughters

Grace & Olivia!

And when it comes to son

in laws, I don't think I could have

asked for a more perfect fit!

He never seems to mind his

mother in law coming

to visit.

I visited them in Japan

four times and stayed an

average of 4 weeks each

visit and the one time

a typhoon delayed my flight

home he seemed genuinely happy

that I had to stay

a little longer!

Not too many son in laws

would be happy about that!

But, Dustin is a special.

I'm often amazed at how God brings

people together so perfectly and

he and Heather are a

perfect example of that.

I can't imagine anyone more

perfect for either of them.

 

 



Shopping for Yogurt

 This little girl is a shopper!

If she wants to go to the refuge

to see wildlife she says she wants

to go "Shopping for Cows!"

(there are longhorn running free)

If she wants to go to Walmart

she wants to go

"Shopping for Paper Towels."

And if you follow my blog

you probably saw her

Shopping for Chocolate!

But on this particular

shopping trip she was

Shopping for Yogurt!

And she found some!

Yum!

How Many Balloons?

Brilyn was watching Bubble Guppies

and it was an episode on

flight. So, we talked

about flight and how balloons

fly and how many balloons it might

take to make us fly.

Then we decided to see how many

balloons it would take to

make a few of her little

friends fly.

Elephants are heavy.

Even stuffed teenie beanie elephants.

One balloon made no difference.

Neither did two!

 Nor three. Nor four.

 Five balloons give it a bit of

a lift.... but not enough

to make it fly!

 Six balloons and a boost

from Brilyn get it up, but it

comes slowly back down.

I don't know if there are enough

balloons to make

an elephant fly.

 But 4 Balloons is plenty for

a Pink Shoes Barbie!

And it takes 5 to make her little

Joey fly!

I don't know if she learned

anything from out little

science lesson or not,

but she's a bright girl.

Odds are she took it all in and knows

all about flying now!

New Tea Party Gloves

 Look at Gracie's new Tea Party Gloves!

Aren't they just adorable?

As soon as she opened them,

she wanted to have a tea party!

 Olivia joined the tea party!

She got new gloves, too.

She just isn't wearing them because

her Momma packed the away

so she wouldn't forget to

take them home.

 Grace loves pouring tea in

her new fancy gloves.

She loves drinking her

tea, too!

What a proper little

lady!

(And thank you, Aunt Janice for the gloves)



Who Likes Pretty Hair?

Gracie was getting ready to go

visit Papa so I fixed her hair.

I used hot rollers, and I used clips

instead of the clamps that come

with the rollers.

The clips go all the way around the rollers

preventing anything hot from

ever touching a little girl's

delicate skin!

I like pretty curls!

Does Grace?

 NO, she does not!

This expression shows you

exactly what she thinks!

But, her Daddy got her to smile

for the camera by promising

her a treat!

I wonder what she'll be like

in 10 or 12 years?

Will she like to fix that hair

or just let it fly?

Hmmmmm..... I guess I'll just

have to wait and see.

 

What Do You Do With Gourmet Chocolate?

What do you do with

Gourmet Chocolate?



Have a Tea Party of course!

 Our sweet Brilyn loves

a good tea party!

 She is also now big enough

to pour the tea!

I love sharing tea time

with this girl.

(the chocolate was pretty good, too)
