THE GREAT OUTDOORS

We had a blast yesterday at my inlaws house for Easter. Each sister inlaw had a dish to bring and I was was in charge of the egg hunt and coloring.




It was nice for us to gather around the table and talk and laugh about girl stuff!

Deitra (the sister inlaw that leave the silly comments on my blog) holding our favorite drink



Sharon, who is pregnant with her second baby! We hope it's a girl because so far, there are only boys in the family!




My favorite part of the day was the egg hunt.



But, I think the boys were more excited to eat what was inside the eggs!



Say cheese guys!

Garrison, Nick, Chandler, and of course TJ



And here is Brendan (cute cute cute!)


All of that fun in the sun has got me to thinking about my backyard



hmm... I feel an outdoor seating area design coming on!!! Stay tuned...

How was your weekend?

What fun to have a great group of women in your family! Enjoy!

Yes, backyards. Ours is a disaster...I think that project is a year or two off from now! Good luck with yours, spring is the perfect time to start thinking about outdoor living! Yeah, can't wait!!! Janell

Hi, I'm catching up on your blog so a few things. . .

First, what a handsome group of boys! They are too cute; glad you had a fun Easter.

Second, I am in love w/ that headboard in your bedroom!

Third, I just read the post of your life timeline to being a staying at home mom and I can so relate. I think you are really brave to share that and I know alot of stay at home moms appreciate you so much for saying those things. You are not alone! I think we sometimes don't give ourselves enough credit for how hard it is to have three small kids (back to back) and still try to run a household, be a good wife, do something for ourselves (like blogging!). This post made me feel lots better about the things I often get down about.

Such cutie pies!! Nothing like family is there?!! I love gardening..do a curvey border around your patio and look into some Knock out Roses. They are sooo easy and have great color all summer long. Not your Grandmothers rose bush! Disease resistant and no deadheading required but I like to do it still on occassion.
Love the pic of you too..should be your new profile pic! Enjoy your day
