Easter 2010

Here is the lineup from Easter this year! I didn't count the photos, but as I was uploading them it seemed this post is a bit Carly-heavy... No other reason than I have a certain son who likes to hide from the camera, not unlike a certain husband I have, who in turn gets it from certain parents. So, the girl gets the clicks! Enjoy!

~Easter Egg Hunt #1, at a church/mops friend's house~






I can't remember what this is about, but I love the face!






We had another egg hunt in our backyard for our neighbors, but sadly BOTH my cameras were out of commission. One had a full memory card, and the other had a dead battery! I am hoping one of my neighbors will email me a few pics! (hint, hint!!)

~Easter Egg Hunt #3 at our friends' house, who happen to live next door to my in-laws. Small town, you know. ~


Love this picture.. he's caught in motion.. and looks so cool!


Checking out the loot


Found one more!


The rings were prizes inside the eggs. Perfect for this little drama diva!


~Easter Sunday~

We went to an awesome worship service and Sunday School lesson, then out to the Rice's for lunch.. yummy too! Thank you P and J for such a wonderful afternoon!

Carly laughing at someone's antics


She LOVED her pretty white dress! She had been wanting to wear it for days before Easter!




This was the best picture of both of them, and the only one with Caleb making a pleasant face


One more egg hunt, just the two of them.






Opening all the eggs in comfort


"Can I pleeeeease eat this one too?"

Jan-March pictures... i know, i know!

I'm staying up way too late, but I've got to do it! Now or never. I'm what, like 3 months behind on pictures? Four? Six? Did I do Christmas? I'll catch you all up in one LONG post... now.

Ok, I went back and checked. I DID do Christmas. But lots has happened since then..

Carly Turned Two !




her talk show pose


playing with Bubba




Stinky Face!


Then we had a bug party!

Have I mentioned she makes funny faces?




Grinning through the window of her new dollhouse. Spoiled Rotten!


CAKE!


The eyes say it all... "Mom, BACK OFF!"


Then the sky dropped a ridiculously annoying amount of snow. (and I got a new camera)

I should totally submit this to Awkward Family Photos .com


Carly touched the snow. Once. With gloves on. Then she was done.


The back of the back yard early in the a.m.


The back yard looked quite a bit like Narnia.


The front just looked like a snow-covered house


Then Caleb turned Four!



So handsome!


So we had a tractor party!




making a craft


He loooooved being sung to.


He REALLY loooooooves attention, can't you tell?


This is the sweetest picture. After the party was over he latched on to his favorite gift. It is a tractor Granny gave him that was my Tracy's. He doesn't totally understand about Tracy yet, but my heart leaps seeing him play with the tractor so reverently.


We recently discovered this nature trail within walking distance from home. So we went for a walk!

Sweet siblings.. how I long for these days to never end! OK, well, remind me of that next time I whine about them bickering!




Love these East Texas pines...


Carly's a trooper.. my country girl!


Then we visited Grandma, Grandpa, and Mawmaw. Much food and many photos happened.

The highlight of the trip: tractor ride!




Love these little people!




Is this background perfect or what? This is the tack room on Grandpa's barn.. you couldn't make a more rustic-looking background! Perfect!!


Another one for Awkward Family Photos.. I completely love this!


Me and my boy


After Carly threw a fit and refused to walk another step, I went around the corner and waited. She eventually decided since she was left out in the woods alone, to find a stick and a leaf, and talked to herself about it while she tromped back to me.


Another perfect background.. couldn't plan it better!




So there you have it.. January, February, and March in one post. Easter will just have to wait for another day. I hope you feel as blessed as I did looking through these pictures!

Email posting
