Easter Recap (part 3)

After church we had our Easter meal with Anthony's fam. There was a sugar cured ham and all kinds of fixins y'all. It was tasty! (It's apparently a Tums weekend! I overate again.)

The weather didn't really cooperate, but we hung out on the carport and enjoyed ourselves any the hoo. Just more QFT....
 
I "helped" Dawson with the sidewalk chalk. He obviously needed my assistance.
We let "Mema" know where her car was in case she gets a bad case of "old timer's" he he 
 
 
Uncle Anthony helped Dawson check on the fish in the little pond out back.
One of those fish is about 15 years old.

Love bubbles, don't you?!

 Me and my honey
(you can tell he LOVES pics, right?)

Dawson doesn't like his picture taken...(much like his uncle) and at first he was grinnin' up at the sky, so when I told him to lower his chin, we got this goofy expression...

This little furball is the queen of the house, don't let anyone kid ya. Matty, did the Easter bunny leave you a present?

Easter Recap (part 2)

Church is always a part of our Easter celebration. We had a drama and Dad preached. It was really good. I didn't take pics of the drama (I know you're shocked), but trust me, it was good. Sasha's hubby Phil is ridiculous with some theater makeup and Jesus left a trail of blood all the way up the center aisle as he carried the cross. I think we oughta leave it. As a reminder, ya know? Anyway, there were some people who were saved at the end of service. YAY! Angels are rejoicing about that ! ! !
These two started it all...my family that is...it's my mom and dad...
they were married in good ole 1965.
These two... they are about to adopt a couple kiddos from Haiti.
Jonathan is my OLDEST bro. A WHOLE TEN YEARS OLDER THAN ME. 
 These two, well you've seen us plenty. ha Idk why I look so FAT in this pic.
I always blame it on a bad angle... ha!
These two are the newliestweds of the fam. Comin' up on two years.
Sasha is my only-est niece.
These two are a mess. Sweet nephews! I couldn't decide which pic I liked best,
so of course I attached em both!
(Sorry no pic of their mom and dad...not sure how that happened)
Next year I'll try to take some pics of some part of the service...maybe.

Easter 2011 Recap (Part 1)

First things first.
Friday we worked hard on cleaning our house because my fam-uh-lee was comin' over for dinner. We celebrated a smidge early. That actually worked out pretty well. We ate bbq, just a-keepin' it real. No linen tablecloths here folks. Elbows on the table are encouraged. There was also mac 'n cheese, corn, baked beans, cheesy potato casserole, derby pie and peach cobbler. Oh, and of course sweet tea. This IS the south after all.
I ate til I was full...too full. Ugh, where are the Tums?


We hung out, talked, laughed - all that good stuff. The boys threw football for a few minutes outside (a very few) but we didn't really do anything. Kids are all too big for egg hunts. I reckon it was just QFT. Quality family time. (You like that? I made it up just now. All on my own. Just me. Nobody helped.)

This is me, my two bros, my mom and my dad. Ain't we sweet lookin' ?! Don't be fooled people.
