Easter

Easter Sunday, we drove to Oklahoma for the day. We had a fish fry with all the family. It was a great day. It is such a comfortable feeling being with everyone. The kids all played and ran around. We always have the best food. It is always a great time. After lunch, we filled and hid the Easter eggs. I should of taken a picture of how many eggs there were. Each year, there is always more and more. We were at JJ and Kevin's house this year. They just built a beautiful new house east of Lamont. They had a lot of room to hunt eggs, just not much to hid them behind. It didn't matter, they still had a ton of fun. Kamden and Hannah had to empty their baskets and go back for more.

The bigger kids had been riding 4-wheelers all day. I had to be the mean mom because I don't allow Kadyn to ride. They scare me to death! I know that when I was a kid we were crazy on the 3-wheeler but as a mom I know too much now. I just remember at the beginning of his Kindergarten year, one of the girls in his class was killed in a 4-wheeler accident. It was a sad, sad time. Anyway, I felt so bad because everyone else was getting to ride... so, I caved and he got to drive slowly where we could see him. After a couple of turns, I could see that he was already becoming more confident. I went inside. There is a path through some trees and a little drop that they were riding through over and over. He lost control and the handle bar caught a tree and threw him around a little bit. The handle bar jabbed him in his side and he scrapped up his shin pretty good. Thank goodness he was alright. I think he was more scared that I was going to be mad at him.

I have say, I nearly had a heart attack when I heard there was an accident. Being a parent is the hardest, stressful yet most rewarding job there is. I love my boys so much that it scares me! The thought of them getting hurt just about kills me!

Anyway, I took lots and lots of pics on Sunday. We even had a little photo shoot with Haley's dog Jackson. He was so cooperative, sunglasses and all. The little kids had a lot of fun playing outside and with the animals. Chase, the cat was very cooperative too. I know that he got put in a choke hold more than a few times. Here are the pics. Enjoy!
