Happy Easter

We colored eggs.  2 dozen goes by super fast!
 Hard at work.
 We did the hunt.


 Full buckets.
We had a nice hearty meal at Cracker Barrel with my family. (no pics, darn)  Justin took off to Washington DC for a school conference.  We had a great Easter and are so thankful that Jesus takes away our sin...as far as the east is from the west... 

The Horse

A couple weekends back, we went to the UT vet open house.  I wanted to share this huge horse.  I've never seen any horse like it.  Do you see how tall it is??? That girl leading him was a tall girl.  He's a work horse...obviously.

 Here's the same horse in his stall.  His back was actually taller than Justin, let alone his head.  Olivia was a little uneasy about the picture.  The horse had breathed on her from his nostril and blew her hair all over.
 This was the smallest horse.  They got to pet this one.  I think Luci might be bigger than this horse.
 They also got to take their stuffed animals to the vet.  Olivia is helping to give her fish a shot.
 Isaac's monkey got some stiches and a bandage.

Just Another Quack In The Park

Today was supposed to be in the mid-80's so we all hopped in the car and took off to the park.  It was nice out, but a bit breezy.  I think they went down this twisty slide a million times.  The Easter Bunny showed up and let the kids have a piece of candy.  Isaac really liked that and kept the Easter Bunny on radar the whole time we were there. 

Justin snuck up on a baby duck in the pond and snatched it up for the kids to see.  Tami laughed her head off.  Isaac and Olivia thought getting to hold it was super cool. 


There was 'one' really low swing that was just right for Olivia and Isaac.  Justin taught Isaac how to play superman on the high swing.

Home Time


A lot of days, home days are absolutely great.  Here's some pics...
Isaac is at Olivia's Salon.  Just getting a trim.
 They are playing "sleep" with their babies.
Isaac is going to work.  He's all dressed up and ready to go (see the bracelets and anklets that Olivia put on him??).  He's even got his lunchbox that Olivia packed for him.  (This is what Justin uses for his lunches....being the reason they call a cooler a lunchbox.)
 Olivia's puppies are having shoe races.  Looks like pink is winning.

Go Butler!

Our neighbors went to the University of Butler and therefore, during this March Maddness (see Justin's Rants and Raves Blog for more details...ha ha) we have become Butler fans. They asked for a cake to celebrate while watching the game with family in town. Sure, no problem! Well, it took a little longer than I expected, and I learned quite a few things along the way, but here's the picture...I wanted to write Final Four across the top, but decided against it due to my shakey hand on the basketball court.

Besides making a cake, we also went to the zoo this weekend. There is a 220lb 23ft long python on loan at the zoo for the summer. Blek!! (Heather, I knew you would love this one.)
