AMANDA'S GRAD PARTY!!!

This past Thursday night was my cousin Amanda's highschool graduation! The whole family had planned to attend the cerimony, but it decided to start raining that day. It NEVER RAINS HERE IN MAY! All of the highschools always hold the graduations out on the football fields, but they were all forced to change their plans at the last minute. They all ended up splitting the graduating classes in half and half of them graduated in the auditouium, and the other half graduated in the gym. Each graduate was also limited to a certin number of guests. So we just decided to meet at her house to celebrate afterwards.

When Amanda got there, she had quite a surprise waiting for her!

This is a 4 generation picture on my mom's side of the family!

This would have been a 4 generation picture. However, since this was a bridal shower, and my dad is not a girl, I think he might have felt a little out of place!

Alicia opening one of her gifts!

The lovely hat!

Kyle got to come to the party too! Here he is flirting with all of Alicia's friends and pretending to take their picture with a toy camera!

This adorable little girl is Olivia! She is my mom's cousin's daughter, and just so happens to be two weeks younger than Kyle! She is going to be Alicia's flower girl, and Kyle will be the ring bearer! I think they will be adorable together!!!

OUR EASTER PARTY

The Day before Easter, my mom's side of the family got together for our annual Easter party! I took lots of pictures, and a couple of video's too. But unfortunately, the codes did not copy right from my camera to my computer for the videos. so I can not upload the videos. So here are a few of the pictures that I took!



Kyle wasn't very interested in finding Easter eggs. He found one, and threw it down, and I had to pick it up, put it in his basket, and find the rest of them for him too.



It is a tradition on my mom's side of the family to have an annual egg toss! Everyone chooses a partner, and then we make two lines facing each other. We then throw raw eggs back and forth to eachother until the last team is left with a whole egg. It is a little miassy, but it is lots of fun!

Kyle found one of the cracked raw eggs, and decided that it would be fun to play in it.

Yeay, he found some candy!!!

Kyler was trying to match the face that Kenzie was making. I think he did a pretty good job!

My kids and I in my grand parrents back yard. Kyle DID NOT want to have his picture taken!

Since I get sick if I stay in the sun for too long, I took Kenzie in the house and took a bunch of pictures! Here are a few of them!


SUCH A BIG SMILE!!!

Along with our Easter party, we also celebrated my grandma's birtnday because it was just a few days away! This is her birthday cake.

This is my sister Kimber, and her husband David meeting Kenzie for the first time. Kimber was not very happy with me because she had come to the hospital straight from work and stayed over night, and MANY hours after in hopes that I would have the baby before she had to go back to work. Well, the time came that she had to go back, so she left. I ended up giving birth about an hour later, and she was stuck at work so she didn't get to meet her until about midnight that night!

This is a fun tradition on my mom's side of the family! Every year on the day before Easter, we all get together and eat a hugr lunch together, have an egg hunt for the kids, and then we have an egg toss. This is done by everyone choosing a partner, and then standing across from them. We then toss raw eggs back and forth taking a step backward between each toss. The team that gets the farthest apart wins! It can get kinda messy, but it os oh so much fun!!
