Our friend Robert was leaving our house. He came back in to tell us that there was huge spider outside. Of course, we all went to gawk at said spider! Apparently we made the spider nervous, cause he curled up like this (above picture) when we got out there. Stuart and Robert knocked the web down, I am sure that the spider found a new home.

6 bunny marshmellow bunnies all in your mouth...can you imagine!
Some of us played a disgustingly fun game of "Chubby Bunnies" easter evening. For this game you put a marshmellow in your mouth and then say "chubby bunny". Then you add a second marshmellow, say "chubby bunny". Then a third and so on. The winner is the one who can fit the most marshmellows intheir mouth and say "chubby bunny".First round Samantha got 4 marshmellows, second round she got 6. She was declared the winner.

First round Raeleigh got 3 marshmellows, and the second round she got 4. She barely got out "chubby bunny" before the marshmellows starting popping out of her mouth!

Jordan only played round 1. He got four marshmellows, said "chubby bunnies" and then started laughing. He lost his marshmellows and was out.

I also only play the first round. I too got 4 marshmellows in my mouth. Look at how big my cheecks are. They hurt for a while after the game!

Stuart played both rounds. Round one was 2 marshmellows, round two was 3 marshmellows. Laughter got the better of him for the game as well!

Addi got some time to hunt for eggs before the older kids came out. She was so funny to watch and she had a great time.
Jordan was in less of a hurry than everyone else, however he still found a good number of eggs.
Our nephew, Austin, had a great time. He said "I'm in heaven!"
Grandma and Grandpap watching the kids hunt for easter eggs.
Stuart grabbing an egg and ready to move on to find another.
Craig hung a few of the eggs on the spanish moss that hangs from our oak tree. Samantha got most of these eggs.
Raeleigh was moving fast to find as many eggs as she could. They all had a great time. Grandma and Aunt Joy thankyou for providing 236 eggs for the hunt.

Stuart did an awesome job reading the story of Easter. Every year we have read this awesome story that tells of the happenings of easter with coordinating eggs. Inside the eggs are visual reminders of the 12 parts of the story.
Raeleigh with egg #2.
Jordan with one of the eggs.
Robert had egg #12. It was empty to represent the empty tomb when Christ was resurrected.

I made these ultracute centerpieces for the ladies I visit teach. (Got the idea from my creative sister-in-law, Michelle W.) I had a great time making them. Addi loved to help and eat the extra jellybeans.

Addi watches as Craig lights Raeleigh's birthday candles. We had her Birthday cake on Monday.

She looks so happy, excited to be another year older!

Raeleigh opened presents on Sunday evening. She got a beach towel, flipflops, and shorts to go with her bathing suit. Now she is looking forward to a beach trip!






I really wanted to do something on her actually birthday. So today I made cupcakes for her school class. She was very suprized because I didn't tell her that I was doing this. The cupcakes were yummy!

Raeleigh caried the pan home from school in her backpack. I thought this was to funny not to get a picture. She walked 1 3/4 miles like this!! What a trooper.

So the kids had coupons for free food from Chick-fil-A. So I took them. We got $14.13 worth of free food - Love it!! I like that our local Chick-fil-A has fresh flowers at their tables.



Raeleigh, Samantha and I played a games of Yatzee. Jordan and Stuart watched Addi in the play area.



This is Addi looking out of the tire of the Cow Mobile that is in the second story of the play area. She had so much fun. This was a great hour spent with my kids.
