Easter 2014

 Sam was home from JBLM (Joint Base Lewis McCord) and Max was home from Walla Walla for Easter.  It was so great to have them in church with us for Easter morning services.  Hubby was working midnights so instead of sleeping he went to church and dinner.  Mark and Karen came for coffee and scones after church.  We had dinner at Uncle Darryl and Aunt Judy's house.  They have moved off the farm to a beautiful setting in town.  We had a delicious dinner.

Since there aren't many little kids left Aunt Judy decided to include the teens and twenty somethings in the Easter egg hunt.  They were a little ho hum about it until they heard that they each had an egg with their name on it.  A rumor of cash and the excitement started building.  So then, since we had their interest, they were required to have a group shot prior to the hunt.

Sam got sidetracked by the unmarked eggs since they were filled with candy.

 Sam and Angela had a short discussion on "what is yours is mine".  Not until July 5!

I cracked up when I downloaded the pictures.  

Angela was having a little fun and our photographer took a selfie.

We had a great weekend.  Max brought home tamales from Country Mercantile, so I didn't really cook.  We played some cards, we visited and I did guy laundry.  As we left to go to Easter dinner I put a ham in the oven so Max could take some back to school and we could have leftover ham this week.  

Because you all know how my guys love a BAH (big a** ham).

I'm With Levi

Yesterday my sister and assorted kids did a project at my folk's place while they were out of town. A Father's Day gift for Dad. Levi, my nephew was in charge of moving the trailer of Smit's compost around the yard. Levi is sixteen going on seventeen and is a pretty typical teen-he does not like to be told what to do or how to do it. He has a reaction to advice known as "insta-pist".
Levi started playing football when he was just a little guy and he is good! This year he says he is not playing. Auntie T is having a fit. What am I going to do with all those shirts that say, "I'M LEVI'S Auntie T." Or, "Levi's Fan Club". What about the signs that I have ready to go-"GO Levi, Auntie T is here!" And what if he is not on the camera in the Dome when he should be saying, "Hi Auntie T!"
Levi, you are the subject of the blog today because I care and I wanted to make a public plea for your football career. You have the rest of your life to work so get out there and play ball.
