Dyeing eggs!

The Hunt - Easter 2013
Elliott said that he has missed out on so many years of Easter and hunting eggs that when he gets married his wife will have to hide them for him to hunt. LOL…he’s going to make sure he makes up for lost time. :-)

Our Easter hike.

I laugh out loud at this picture….I want to always remember how she is at this age….cap, rubber boots, skirt & gun….and i can’t forget ATTITUDE! We were all going on a hike and she thought her brothers were going to get ahead if she stopped for me to snap a picture…haha! And notice the skirt…she is okay wearing them right now, she refuses to wear her shorts because she says to much of her legs show….LOL. Oh that girl, I love her so!

Soon to be deviled eggs!!! They won’t last anytime in this house!!!

We are about to go on a hike and Max walks down the hall like this. HAHAHA!!! Cutest barefooted cowboy I’ve ever seem! #cowboysareserious

Max loves his Easter bowtie! $1 from Target’s dollar section. Viv came home from church and stripped her dress off so fast that I didn’t get a single picture of her in her dress and girly shoes. ;-)

The first thing when we got home….Max put on his overalls! Now Vivi wants a pair! #burritopicnic #theyadoretheirbrothers

Walking around at Canton Tate & Elliott spied a table full of overalls and their eyes lit up! They were so happy with their new duds that they wore them home with their clothes underneath! Love my farmers!

T & E are officially farmers!!!

Canton - First Monday Trade Days.

Max is feeling exceptionally cool today! hehehe!

okay, shhhhh….i’m not making a big deal of this but VIVI JO WEARING A NECKLACE & A BRACELET!!!!!! but i’m not making a big deal….i barely noticed….hehehe.

I went to Max’s room and noticed that he added Canada Bear on his chest of drawers sitting with USA Bear and China Bear…who are there all the time. I asked him if he put Canada Bear up there and he said YES…for Britney, Michael and Annie! Canada Bear has found a new home! :-)

I love that he still loves his Mimmie bear!

Hello

This was a birthday gift from my mom! I absolutely LOVE it!

those eyes melt me!

Okay, remember the bow ties I made Friday night….yesterday was the County FFA & 4H project show. Those showing chickens start out with 15 chicks and 6 weeks later their FFA teacher comes to the house and chooses 4 of their 15 to show. If you make the sale you stand in the middle of the arena holding one of your chickens to be auctioned off. Everyone went out holding their “undressed” chicken…everyone but Elliott. Elliott’s chicken was dressed in style! He had been telling me for weeks if he made the sale he wanted his chicken to wear a bow tie….and so it did! That boy of mine! :-)

This was so precious I’m so glad I got a picture of it. Paul asked Vivi if she wanted to wear the pearls that we bought her when we were in China to bring her home. He told her that we bought the pearls to give her when she gets married but since tonight was so special she could also wear them tonight. She was beaming with pride wearing those pearls around her neck. But you should have seen the disgusted look on her face when he told her that we bought them for her to wear when she gets married….lol…it was priceless!

This evening was our church’s 1st father/daughter banquet. Vivi and Paul have literally been counting down the days. She was so excited that she HAPPILY let me put hot rollers in her hair. They also made plans to go to Dairy Queen afterwards for ice cream. I can’t wait for them to get home so I can hear all about their evening. Oh and notice her new shoes for the special occasion….Viv chose them and I love her choice :-)..lace and ruffle skirt with chucks….although tonight was a special and dressy event, Vivi put a little Vivi in her dressy outfit. I love that she is comfortable with what she likes even if its not the norm. I love that girl!

today is the county livestock show. ells has his chickens under control. both tate & elliott made the sale!!! YAY!

They are doubles partners.  I love watching them play!!

why did I make these bow ties tonight? you’ve got to see for yourself…it’s HILARIOUS!!!!!

My little HONEY BEE!

BEE costumes in the making. The 2nd grade is having a program tonight and I was assigned the BEE. 1) I do not create neatly. 2) I’m always last minute. Pictures of Vivi Bee to come :-)

Introducing our newest addition….DUCKLINGS! 

My big boys!!!! They are so HANDSOME! Their friends got married tonight and Hayden (in the tie) married them…it was his first wedding to officiate…I know he did great!. Vivi took one look at this picture and said, “Mom, they look like those brothers on that TV show, Property Brothers”…HAHA!

I love Vivi’s “farm girl” style! :-)

Vivi and Romeo. It’s Viv’s day to feed.

Making biscuits.

An early morning game of Go Fish….I love how Max uses the table to hold up his cards. They played a quick game while the biscuits they made together are cooking. Paul is the best dad!!

And this boy in red…little lefty, he TORE IT UP! It was a fun night with good friends!

Vivi would tilt her head the direction she wanted the ball to go. So cute!

I never knew my hubs was a bowling beast. He got a 5 strikes in 6 frames!

It’s Max’s turn!

Tate & Elliott’s first time to go bowling.

good morning y’all! blessings to you on this beautiful sunshiny day!
