Put a Smile on My Face

These kids make me smile! We had a fun Easter celebration the Saturday before Easter. Coloring Easter Eggs!

Ally and Noah having fun!


Natalee and Mylee enjoying themselves! It was a fun day! After we colored eggs we had a yummy feast of Hawaiian Haystack! Then the hunt began, The grandkids were hunting for colored eggs full of Treasurers, and the Adult children, were hunting for Groceries, to fill there baskets. I decided Amber and Nate were the most Competitive team, then Laurie and Colby! It was great competition, and in the end they made a few trades with each other!



Some of the loot, they each went home with!

Colby took these Easter pictures, and what a project! Try to get 6 kids from the age of 12 to 3 weeks old to all cooperate at once! The middle four were all ready to pose, but not Dallon, the oldest, we had to beg him to pose, and as soon as the picture was taken that vest was taken off ! Then Baby Paxton, he was more intresested in having Lunch than a photo shoot! But we did get a few good photos! Thanks Colby!




Mylee 2 &1/2 and one little firecracker!



Paxton Jay so adorable! He is growing right before our eyes!



Natalee, thinks picture taking is fun! Such a cutie!



Ally the poser, just turned 9! She is adored by all !!!



A rare pose from Noah! He hates photo shoots! I love it when my Kids and Grankids come to visit. You know it is a Journey, "Over the River and through the Woods, to Grandmas house we go"! But I think it is worth it. My house is alot different than there homes, there is no Wii, no Guitar Hero, No ipods. But there is a Trampoline, a Hot Tub Pool Party, a Playhouse, a huge Barbie collection. I love to watch the creativity begin. A Dance show is usually choreographed and performed, with lots of laughing.
But when Mylee 2-1/2 is back home in the City, it makes me smile when she wakes up one morning and starts throwing clothes in her suitcase , and says, "see ya mom, I am going to GiGi's! Or when Noah 3 comes over for a mid-week visit, and as he comes walking up the stairs hollers!, " Hey GiGi, I'm home, where are you!! Yup, these kids put A Smile On My Face!!
