Sweet Georgia

I think I could easily live in Georgia.  I know I can easily live close to my sister.  I wish I did!  Lucky me, I got to spend a week with her and her new baby while I had family helping me at home with the big boys.  Thank you grandma/grandpa, Devri, and especially Shayne, for letting me go.  I shared a few pics already of Julia and Skyler together - he's 3 months older but it looks like more since she is so tiny!  Here are a few more highlights of my adventure to Georgia.

A hike - just a turn off the main road (of the city!) and there we were hiking through a wilderness.  It was SO beautiful.

I took a some pics of their sweet family - There were lots of great pics because they are a beautiful family!

Sky blue on blue

I taught Lara how to make biscuits.  They were perfect!

Skyler was jealous of our dinner and raised quite a ruckus - so I decided to try a little mashed banana and he DEVOURED it.  I've never had a baby EAT their solids at the first attempt - usually there's a lot of spitting it out.  It was such a hoot to watch this boy LOVE those bananas!

It's so fun to have babies at the same time!  (And here's a rare moment of Sky being mad - it was nap time!)

La-La with Skyler

Me with Julia...  it was fun to pick out bows and see those cute dresses!

*Paradigm Shift*

I have to giggle and I want to remember what Lara said as I was flying out to her house.  She called me during my lay-over and asked, "How do you go to the bathroom with an infant?"  Luckily, I had a stroller for Sky, so it wasn't an issue.  The funny thing is that I know Lara's world has truly shifted to a new paradigm - she has NEVER worried or even been concerned with such details on previous trips (and I travel often with kids).  It was so fun to see her being a mommy -- a very AMAZING mommy.  I thought I'd be doing a little "rescuing" when I got out there, but really it was just plain fun to both be taking care of our babies together.  I sure wish she lived closer to me, but I don't blame her for living in such a wonderful place.  She definitely has many supportive friends around her!  Love you Lara and I hope I get to see you again soon. 

Easter Weekend

Lucky us - we have two families to celebrate with and two family traditions to enjoy!  First we went to Brian and Devri's for our "REAL EGG" hunt, egg-cracking event, and then ate creamed eggs over toast...  a tradition I grew up with!

We make a sport out of smashing the eggs into other eggs - it's the fun way to get the eggs ready for our lunch.

Mom (Nana) making the special meal in abundant quantity!

Next we head over to Grandma/Grandpa's house for the plastic egg hunt.  Good thing Cherae showed up with a few eggs... needless to say, our boys had PLENTY of eggs to hunt.

Cheryl with the evening meal - she has mastered the "ROLLS" to be just like Grandma Hunter's...  good thing she decided to double the recipe.  There were 3 left at the end of the evening!

The mad dash in the field...

Connor found the "SPECIAL" egg...  specially made by Shayne for the unsuspecting, lucky one.
(It had a real egg in it, EWWW!)

I laugh at myself because when I see this on my counter, I can completely avoid it... I have no desire to eat a chocolate bunny.  (or anything chocolate)

But, when I walk past a package of these Peeps, I CAN NOT resist.  I know, I'm weird.  I think I ate all mine, and all the boys' Peeps too.

Our weekend get-away

Gotta love this hat made by our neighbor.

 love this fam - thanks for coming with us!

 Our crew

Did ya know that when you throw rocks into a large canyon, it sounds like gunfire?  And that this is pure entertainment for a group of boys?!
