on Easter morn...

"This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24

Hope everyone had a blessed day!

easter pastels...

Is everyone ready for the long weekend ahead? I have been looking forward to it for weeks. Tison just got back from a work conference in New Orleans, just in time to wash clothes and pack back up again to hit the road early tomorrow morning for Houston, Texas. That's right- we are having a FrEaster (Friends- Easter) weekend with Emily and Richard!

We haven't been to Houston since 2011 and another visit has been long over due. Our days will be spent watching baseball games, lunching with friends, and enjoying the sunshine. I hope your Easter weekend is filled with as many happy pastels as these found on M.E.'s head and Russell's beard!

Happy Easter everybody!

rumor has it...

Rumor has it that I have been late on posting pictures. I pretty much got yelled at yesterday by my sister Leslie for not having posted pictures from a pretty big event- Easter. See what happens when I DON'T bring my camera places, David Marshall?! {Who dared me not to take one picture all day} I guess someone I can't go anywhere without her best friend camera. I didn't last an hour before picking one up. Thanks for sending me the pictures I took on your camera, Lauren. haha. xo

Every Easter {since we stopped hunting Easter eggs} Dad comes up with a creative competitive brain teasers involving cash rewards! It is awesome. This year we played "Riddle me this." Tison and I found out quick that riddles are not our strong suit. However, I did enjoy the noise makers Dad gave us to use as buzzers! So, I leave with this:

What can run but never walks, 

has a mouth but never talks, 

has a bed but never sleeps, 

has a head but never weeps?

{the answer is...here.}

painting with an easter twist...

After Easter lunch on the patio, the ladies decided to paint wooden eggs. Mom wants to make this an Easter (egg) tradition.

Here's mine:

{Tison said, "Am I Spider-Man?" haha- guess I need to practice plaid before next year.}

happy easter!

Don't let the aprons fool you...my Mom made everything but the deviled eggs!!

She's a superwoman in the kitchen.

{That is sweet Rosie enjoying the beautiful weather.}

{So glad to have you home for Easter Les!}

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter Sunday!
