Easter 2008

We spent Easter at the Big Canoe. We had hoped to see Mom & Dad, Brad and his family but due to some changes in medications it just didn't work out this year. We sure did miss seeing everyone!

Uncle Ben, Jessica, and Papa McEver did join us in celebrating Easter. It was a fun day. I think everyone (including Coops) was worn out by the end of the day.

The Easter Bunny was able to find Suzy and Coops

Easter Egg hunt #4

No Suzy, we can't take the cute, fuzzy bunny home

Coops is only interested in the Candy!

As for the Lenten season, the Cadbury egg was good but I was expecting a little bit more. I had a handful of peanut m & m's and some macaroni and cheese yesterday but it just wasn't as good as I had building it up in my mind. I have gotten over a couple of my big vices and well I just don't want to go back to having chocolate every day with cheese on everything I eat. With that said... we are getting carry out from California Pizza Kitchen tonight. Yummy!

The spoils

Two of our local churches held egg hunts Saturday morning. It was a beautiful morning so we decided to take the boys to both hunts. They did quite well for themselves. Cooper was more about quantity while Carter insisted on quality (re. what kind of chocolate was inside). They had a great time together and both churches had activities beyond the egg hunt that they could take part in.

2006

It's right around the corner folks! We go every year to Town Center Mall to get pictures with the same bunny. Suzy went along with it this year, but I did have to "threaten" her to get her in the shot. Danny doesn't think it's too outrageous that I'll be calling Suzy home when she's 25 to get a bunny pic. I know I have my weird traditions, but c'mon it's fun to see how much the kids change from year to year.

Like the Easter egg hunt last weekend, Cooper did not have a problem at all with the rabbit. He sat right up in his lap and commenced with the smiling.

2 days until Cheese, Chocolate, and Colas. I have already bought 3 Cadbury eggs to indulge in. Suzy and I decided we are ordering pizza and making a chocolate cake for supper.

If I don't post anymore before Sunday.....Happy Easter Ya'll

Dust your running shoes off!

http://race.komenatlanta.org/

We talked about it last year but didn't really get anything going.

This year, we are going to do it!

The race is May 10th at Atlantic Station. We can have a sleepover the night before at our house if you don't want to have to get up too early!

We need 10 folks to make up a team. The McEvers have 4 of the slots covered, we just need 6 more people. I was partial to naming the team " Sheryl's Boo Bees" or "The Pink Farmers". Any other suggestions are certainly welcome.

I don't think it would be too far fetched to make up some shirts after we know who is on the team. I know we have at least one really crafty member of the family (**cough, cough**Shana**cough, cough**)

Afterwards, we could celebrate Mother's day and Brad's birthday at our house,

C'mon you know you want to join in ...

Everyone's doing it

PS... one quick note, there is a one mile walk, and you can also "Sleep in for the Cure" (which means you don't even have to show up, but still get a t-shirt). Good times!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

YMCA easter egg hunt

Coops dancing with the duck! This kid loved all the animals walking around, he kept running up to them giving them high 5's all afternoon long

Can we hunt for eggs now? PULLLLEAAASEEE???

Can Cooper hunt for eggs now?

Finally, Coops and a field of eggs

Suzy was giving him some direction in the right way to hunt eggs

Coops found a shiny egg and got a prize basket!

And the firetruck was there! Coops was in heaven. He talked to the Fireman. He pointed at a hose and said "Water?" to which the Fireman explained how the hoses worked.

I have to be honest, of all the egg hunts we have been to this one is the best. We have been to the largest Easter egg hunt in Homer, Babyland General Easter egg hunt, and probably more than a few in Marietta, Snellville, Athens, Toccoa & Big Canoe. It was just so well organized. They had tons of activities for the kids from Braves Baseball to those Jumpy things kids love so much. The kids were separated so the big kids weren't running over the little ones, and It was the most beautiful day weather wise. We all had a really fun time.
