The Joiner Journey: April 2011

Easter 2011

We started out Easter this year by eating lunch Saturday at Granny and Grand's, Allen's grandparents on his mother's side. After lunch the great grandkids had and Easter Egg Hunt. As you can see they are pretty young so we probably should have called it an Easter Egg Gathering because the eggs were so easy to find!

Now I have got to break it to you... I am gonna get all the eggs!

Look at me!

RUN!

I got one! Orange is my favorite color!

Easter Morning we got up and went to 6 am sunrise service with Allen's family at Ocobla Baptist Church.after church the men cook breakfast so we stay and eat.... YUMMY! Shortly after Allen and I left so that the Easter Bunny could come visit Wyatt. His parents kept him at the church so that he could play with the kids while we hid eggs and set things up.

This year Wyatt's Easter Basket included a monkey, orange aviator sunglasses, a personalized hooded towel, "woody buzz" bubbles, and silly straws. He picked out the sunglasses himself and made the monkey at Build-A-Bear earlier in the week when we went to the mall. We left them with the Easter Bunny who just happened to be there ;) He didn't exactly understand why we had to leave them but he sure was excited to see them again Easter morning after church.

Look at the glasses the Easter Bunny brought me.

Two of a kind

After the egg hunt we headed to Papa Jims to eat lunch and celebrate with my family. After lunch we drove over to have a egg hunt with the Byrds and had a wonderful visit. I didn't pull out my camera but Mama and Janna did so maybe I will have some photos to share of that soon. A few hours and one cranky child later and we were headed home.

Oh no... Our Easter wasn't done yet! After resting up we headed out to the golf course. We met up with Brooks, Brecken, and Bella so that the guys could play 9 holes of golf while the women and kids watched.

How is that for a full weekend?

Farmer Wyatt

The time had come to plant our garden and Wyatt wanted to help out. I think he was doing more harm than good so it was a good thing that his daddy had already planted most of the garden while he was taking a nap. Wyatt sure did have a good time being a farmer. He took his job seriously and wants to check on his pea plants everyday.

Dig boy!

I can do it just like my Daddy!

One at a time? This is gonna take forever!

Now this is more like it!

The flood waters came...

It has been SO rainy here the last couple weeks and our yard has stayed WET. On one particular rainy day the sun came out and Wyatt begged to go out and play. Being the good mama that I am I stripped him down and sent him out. Here are the action shots. I thought that they were so cute because he didn't care if he was in his Spiderman underwear or not. He was gonna play in that mud and water.

Crawfish Boil

A few weekends ago we had our 2nd annual Super Bulldog Weekend Cawfish Boil. We all had so much fun. Most of the people from last year came and we were joined by some new friends. I didn't get pics of everyone there(I think several people were hiding from the camera) but from these few photos I hope that you can tell that we all had a good time.
