Pictures for my family...

Apparently I have not been such a good daughter, grand-daugher, OR mother when it comes to sharing pictures... hahaha.  Now I am trying to make up for it!  Please forgive me :D

Dustin has been avoiding the camera lately I guess.  I will have to remedy that pretty quick.

Easter Egg Hunt and Party Games


For the 4th year, I am in charge of my neighborhoods Annual Easter Egg Hunt.   I just love organizing events such as this.  We have a small, newer subdivision with tons of young children. I wanted to change things up a bit this year. We have played the same games the last 3 years.  Time for something new :D  While searching around, I found several sites with great Easter Party ideas.  Check em out!
