Easter 2009

The Brashier Family came this weekend and we had a great visit and an interesting Easter meal... Most of you know that I am not a very detail oriented person - especially when it comes to recipes. Usually it works out well for me - not this time! When it came time to pull out the pork for lunch, it was RAW. I somehow left out the whole three middle sentences of the instructions. Those sentences included baking for an additional 50-55min. Needless to say, I sent Brad to the gas station and he came back with a barbecued chicken leg, 2 slabs of ribs, and chicken fingers. I am glad I am at the point in my pregnancy where everything is funny - otherwise, I think I might have cried! The ribs and chicken were yummy and everybody was full and happy. Oh yeah, around 2:30 - when everyone was leaving - the pork loin was finally ready!!

Jumping Bailey

The kids found out that when blowing bubbles Bailey will jump to catch them! It was quite funny to watch - she even flipped in the air trying to catch bubbles! By the time I figured out we should film it, (you know so we could enter it in to America's Funniest Home Videos! j/k) she was too tired to jump anymore!!

Easter Eggs!

Friday we dyed Easter Eggs - this was probably the easiest year yet - they got everything ready and were pretty self-sufficient! This is Mary Blake saying, "You should try these boiled eggs - they are really good." He's thinking about it. . . . Yep, he tried it - didn't like it!

The Memphis Zoo

Last Wednesday, we traveled to the Memphis grade with Mary Blake's first grade class. The weather was great and the kids were sweet!
