Fixing Fences and Celebrating Easter

Early in April, we had quite a bit of activity.  First, we replaced about 90% of our fence - some damage, mostly wear and tear.  It was a sweaty, dirty, and productive few days.  The new fence looks great!  Still had some measurements that were a TINY bit off...but our own "Bob the Builder" did all he could to make it right!

"Okay, guys, I'm going to finish up here.  Why don't
you go get the rest of the fence?"

Let's just make sure this funny colored knot stays right there...

I think these bricks need a few more holes...

Work, work work!  I wish Daddy would pay me minimum wage...

Also, we got the family together to celebrate Easter.  Early on, after church, there were Easter baskets to open (some from far, far away!) and family to gather together.  Baby-Baby received many wonderful gifts, including egg-shaped chalk, a bubble gun, and many Sesame Street books.  The main course was a Guinness roast, complemented by many tasty side dishes!  But the best part was being able to share our time with one another.

 Beware Bubble Boy!!!

 Thumbs taste really good!

Bluebonnets and Easter Eggs

Living where we do, it's almost a law to take pictures of the bluebonnets when they bloom.  So that's what we did - with much laughter and appreciation of the beauty.  Also, our little boy had his second Easter Egg Hunt ever.  This year, there was more egg hunting and less sitting on the ground and letting Daddy get the eggs.  However, the eggs could only hold his interest for so long, then it became a moral imperative to play with all the cool playground equipment!  Enjoy the photos!

 Are we sure we know how to get back to civilization...?

 Let the chaos begin!

 Here, I'll show you how to get the good stuff out...

 Yep, it's a great day to be hanging out with the ladies...

 Enough with the eggs already...it's time to SLIDE!

 I'm pretty sure I can figure this out.

I wonder what the ladies will think of my sweet ride...
