the front door in spring


I took these pictures Tuesday morning
after a nice rain and before I packed away the Easter decorations.


the watering can belonged to Jeff's granddad
I planted the knockout roses last summer.
They are really blooming and smell so good,
but I am not sure why they are not getting much taller
and I am really wondering why the red one seems to be
a ground crawler.

This rose bush was planted by the Dawes,
the previous owners of our home.

hmmm, and something cute

this is what I found one morning


I know who ate a big helping of goldfish, then left this single goldfish cracker in the cannister, put the lid on it and put it back in the pantry. 
Yep, I know who did it, but it could of easily been several other men in this family and they have done similar things on  different days.
Does your family do this too? 

Elizabeth checking out the bottles her momma is going to use for a craft project.
They are Starbucks coffee drinks,  nobody here drinks this,  but Nina found a few people who do drink and they saved the bottles for her.

Aren't they cute bottles?
They remind me of the bottles that milk was served in
when I was in elementary school.

2 Big Days

1st Big Day
more pictures from Bobby's 30th birthday party
having a toddler around for gift unwrapping is very handy



Elizabeth considering 2 of her uncles.


2nd Big Day

Oklahoma Supreme Court - to swear in the new attorneys

Jimmy is now a real card carrying, certificate in hand attorney.

Gavin thinks the tube is the coolest part of this big day,
and the cookies at the reception.


Gavin is little and this Brave statue is very tall! 

The Easter Bunny delivered gifts




















Look what was on our doorstep this morning.  I am pretty sure that Amanda and Gavin helped out that busy bunny and left these sweet things.  See the polka dot egg?  When you push its button, it cackles and lays a little candy egg.  Rather fitting for them since their chickens lay the best eggs in Oklahoma.
They share their chicken eggs with us too. 

Thank you Amanda and Gavin.

Moustache party for Bobby's 30th


Bobby, the birthday boy, and my mom


moustache cake, baked by Nina
she also made moustache shaped chocolate lollipops


my mom, Gavin and me
all with our party moustaches




















Our sweet Bobby just turned 30 and his party was at our house over the weekend.  Jimmy and Nina planned it all and it was a very fun afternoon.  In case you did not notice from the pictures,  it had a moustache theme.   All the guests who did not have real moustaches wore fake ones -Gavin thought this part was really funny. 
There would be more pictures but I did not check my camera and its battery was dead at party time so these are a few taken with a camera phone.

I go back to the dentist tomorrow. What I thought was a big problem is not much of a problem to fix and I am very thankful for that.
