Mother's Day 2009

 
 
 

Here are a few pictures from Mother's Day weekend. The toads Smokey found in the pool and the kids released them down by the water. See how flooded the beach area is again? Hope it doesn't rise anymore! The pictures of Hailey and I are of her sweet gifts to me. The other one is of Hailey giving Gram Gram gifts and Hunter trying to hand me a heavy container of Rose food for my roses and it spilled. Oops! Thanks for the sweet gifts everyone!

family picture!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!

Wishing you a wonderful birthday today! We love you lots!!!

Camey, Brady, Hailey and Hunter

Grammy's Ride

On Friday, Hailey got to hitch a ride with her Gram-Gram back to the lake house from the Tackle Box store. Front seat, top down and in style! Usually they just drive around the circle at the lake house. I think Hailey has been her only occasional passenger!

Egg Coloring

 
I set up the egg station on the kitchen floor of the lakehouse before Hunter knew what was taking place. I loved his big smile when he came around the corner to find us sitting there. It was like he was saying "Hey- who didn't invite me? I'm soooo going to do that!" Hailey enjoyed it as always but wound up coloring the eggs faster as her little brother was helping too. I think next year I will do the egg coloring with just Hailey and I. I have always enjoyed coloring eggs. It can be fun it you let it. I think we stressed Brady out as he was watching. Hunter managed to spill some dye and color only part of his own foot! Brady likes to be clean and sticky free. I could almost hear the thoughts in his head! This is an activity he does not understand. Sorry Brady. He did snap a some cool shots of the pretty colored eggs. There is just something about color on eggs that makes me happy!

Lakehouse Fishing Pictures

 
 
There were about a zillion ladybugs hanging out on the rocks and sticks by the water - must be mating season!
