Dying Easter Eggs

All the kids had their own cups of dye and they dyed 7 eggs each. They did a really good job. Gage wasn't quite sure about all of it. The first egg he picked up he put it in his mouth. This is just a portion of all the dye cups and eggs.

Little Monkey in the Tree

It was a great afternoon to be outside. The kids have figured out they are big enough to start climbing the bradford pear trees in our front yard. Jentry liked to climb but she really liked hanging on the limbs and swinging. She was upside down as much as she was upright.

Groceries

Brian and I went grocery shopping at Hy-Vee to get groceries to feed the whole family for the Easter week-end. The kids spend alot of time with us while Pops and Granny are here.  We have a good time when we are together and eating is an important part of that. 

Pretty much the same old stuff but thats what everyone wants. Mexican casserole, (and yes Kelley, I even bought nacho cheese chips) white cheese dip, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and dip, Texas sheet cake, 4 layer dessert and the traditional Easter lunch menu.

"Titanic"

Even tho we have seen the movie "Titanic" a zillion times, we still wanted to see it again at the theatre and even in 3D.  It was really good and its just alot better on the big screen.

Gage

Took Gage outside so I could play with my 50mm lens some more. I'm not really getting the hang of that lens yet. Need to practice alot more and also having a subject that sits still for more than 3 seconds might help.

Spring at MNU

The tulips at MNU are full bloom and they are so pretty. I noticed them when I went in to the office this morning, so I took an afternoon break and walked around took pictures. I chose this one because you can see one of the buildings on campus.

It's hard to believe but 10 years ago today I became a Grandma for the first time. Noah James Hunt was born at 9:40 am weighing 7 pounds and 15 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. What a special day it was and one that I won't ever forget. Thats back when I used film and I took (and developed at Sam's that same day) over 200 pictures on his first day. Happy Birthday Noah!!!!!

Blakes New Glasses

We were at Caleb and Amy's this afternoon and I was able to get a picture of Blake and his new glasses. He is pretty excited about them. Caleb said the day they went to the eye Dr and found out he needed them, they picked out a pair and fitted him and then he was very upset that he couldn't take them with him that day. He only has to wear them to read or while he is as school. I hope he continues to like them. He looks older and more grown up with his glasses on.
