Bestest Thing

OK, these pics are mostly for my mom. I know she thinks I'm a bad blogger, because I NEVER put pics on here :) Ok, so never is a strong work. I put a lot of stories, and words, but tend to leave out the photos. Well, I was taking them.... some. hehehe.

SO, here goes...

Joe at Scouts - LOVE the eyes



JOe and I at the Pinewood Derby


Eme at the Pinewood Derby. She's getting so old...


Jim & I at the Pinewood Derby


Joe's crappy car. Sorry, Joe. It was an "out of the box" kinda car. As in, take it out of the box, slap on some wheels, and a sticker, glue a few pennies on the end.....


Tom in his Football Game Jersey


Uh, yeah, a kid took that of me. hehehe


Here's my "Anti School Picture" day photo - hehehe

Joe - Kindergarten


Thomas - 4th Grade


James (um, yeah, not in school yet...)


Eme - 2nd Grade


I think Jake was still in bed when we were taking those...

Captain America and I right before the Ball


Eme with her 1st place medal after BTN Organizational Day


Jacob with his face painting

Captain America got a scratch on his nose playing football. Poor thing :)


If I'm bored, one of my favorite pasttimes is taking weird photos of myself..... OK, so you know I'm weird now....

Right before the egg hunt. I hid 160 plastic eggs in the backyard.


And back to the random weird faces again...








Happy Easter :) Hope it was a nice occasion for everyone! We slept in, and it was SO nice. I rolled out of bed at around 9:30 or 10am, since it was General Conference. Our church service is broadcast from Salt Lake City, Utah, twice a year, and this was one of those times. It's a chance to hear from the prophet, and the leaders, and I really enjoy it. Plus the fact that we can watch it on the internet is WONDERFUL. Church at home in your jammies is always a plus - hehehe.

We turned on Conference, and cooked breakfast for the kids while listening. Pancakes and fruit and scrambled eggs. Then Captain America and I stuffed jelly beans into plastic eggs for the egg hunt we'd planned between Morning and Afternoon session of conference. Plus a few eggs with pennies inside. I know, we're big spenders - hehehe.

Between session, Captain America took a nap, and I did whatever I did, and the kids played with their new toys, and it was just a lazy Sunday afternoon. Conference came back on from 2-4, then we cooked some Mashed Potatoes as our side for Easter dinner, did our Egg hunt (after conference rather than between sessions), got all ready, and headed to Hilarys house for Easter dinner.

Captain America and her hubby, Paul, got to hang, and Hilary and Laurie and I hung. And all 12 of our kids. It was SO crazy. Dinner was good. It was ham, and potatoes, and Lauries DIVINE fresh green bean casserole, and baked beans, and rolls. Mmmmmm, good.

For dessert, Hilary made homemade strawberry shortcake, with home whipped whipped cream. OMGosh it was good. I think I'm ready to re-commit to the diet on Monday. SUPER ready.

We got home at 8:30pm, and put the kids to bed by 9pm. All in all, it was a great day :) Warm and sunny and nice. Gotta love springtime!

SO, I was thinking that I wanted to give you all this WordArt, and have you guys make "about me" layouts. Cause they're always fun. And I like group participation - hehehe. SO, here ya go. I'll provide the WordArt, and you provide the rest. Just post, in the comments section, a link to whereever your hosting your layout :) Sound good ?]

And yes, I know that "bestest" isn't proper English. I'm going for cute and quirky here.... just go with it :)

Okay, your remark about the links to layouts where your wordart was used, made me look through my layouts... Seems I've forgotten some links. So, even if it's not (yet) about this particular wordart, maybe you'd like some others in action. ;)

And thank you for the new wordart!
Sounds like Tigger! ;)

Love the Word Art, the pictures, and hearing about your Easter! I missed most of conference because we had non-LDS family in town and spent Friday night, Saturday, and some of Sunday with them. We got two Easter dinners, though, and I didn't have to cook all weekend (score!)! I wondered if you have any Twilight themed word art? I looked around and didn't see any ... we went to Forks over spring break and I just wanted to use some word art on a couple of the layouts if there's any out there ... plus I know you love Twilight, so ... !!
