Coloring Easter Eggs

We had a great time coloring eggs this year.

This was my baby's first year really coloring all by herself...she had a blast!

My oldest got really creative with multiple colors and drawings.

 Oops, she forgot she had one in there already.

 My baby had to have the blue and purple:)
Don't be fooled, she only used the egg holder for stirring.

The result

was one sad baby...it ended too fast.
I think I will plan on making more eggs next year!

The next morning they had a chance to find them all.

Umbrellas, sunglasses, and a stuffed animals oh my!

In this picture you can see some Peeps,
which is a staple of my Easter childhood thanks to my mom.
Zach thinks they are disgusting and most agree with him. 
I wasn't sure if my kids would find them tasty or not so I gave it a try. 
After my little princess ate four out of the five pack, she confessed that she wasn't a fan.
My husband is pleased:)
We had a wonderful Easter!

Blown Away

At about 5:13pm on Sunday, we had a little excitement.
A big storm came through and with tornado warnings through the valley we live in.

Luckily, no tornado hit down, but the storm did hit us!
The above picture is of my gravel driveway washing away.

The storm came and went pretty fast so with massive amounts of rain....

and hail. 
A couple of times I thought the hail was going to make it through the roof!
I usually don't get too nervous, but the loud pounding of the hail got to me.
My husband stayed upstairs to watch, while I pleaded with him to come downstairs and join the family...
Maybe I worry more than I think:)

Not only did my husband stay upstairs,
but he also ran outside to quickly collect two pieces of hail that bounced off our roof. 
In case your wondering about the size,
they are bigger than golf balls.

Here is my husband making me laugh,
after risking his life to collect the hail.
We are all safe and sound,
but I don't think I can say the same for our roof.

Many Faces

This was a highlight of my weekend, my baby sitting on my lap making me laugh by all her expressions.
I can honestly say, she is the most comical child I know.
Pardon my photos, some may be a bit blurry due to trying to capture everything
and the fact that she moves the most of all my children in photos.






It's the little things in life I'm most thankful for!
