Eggs, baskets, candy, and family

I do love easter it is def. one of my most fave holidays!  So for Easter weekend me and the fam loaded up the car and headed to k-ville, to spend the weekend with my parents and lil brother.  We always have a blast when we head up that way.  Thankfully its not a far drive.

So friday was filled with a 3 hr drive, which started off rocky due to some rain, and my freaking out over it, which mike handles well since I do know it bugs him, thankfully we drove out of it and the rest of the trip went much smoother!  We arrived starving, had pizza for lunch and was ready to begin the relaxing weekend of no work no chores, glorious.  Nolan was of course to excited for words to see his Nonnie, Papaw, Granny and Uncle.  And I love how happy Britt is to see them and it feels my heart with so much joy when I hear her call my mom Nonnie.  That evening with colored easter eggs which was fun I get just as into as the kids do, Jacob was very proud of his mario and lugi eggs, Nolan made a mess and britt hogged the pink ha ha.  Then we headed out to the hottub which becomes a swimming pool when the kids get in!  Once everyone was in and dressed, me and mom made the kids go into Jacobs room and stay there while we prepared their easter baskets.  Just a lil fyi, me and mother tend to over due holidays, and with the stuff that we bought for the kids the baskets just werent big enough!  Once we got them situated on table we covered it with a blanket.  The kids did great never tried to peek once.  Then it was off to some much wanted sleep.

Sat morn, dad and mike got up early and hit the lake for some fishing time.  Mikes first time fishing with my dad, very big deal my dad doesnt let just anyone on his boat.  Mike had a wonderful time and caught a few fish as well.  I have a feeling fishing will become a permanet part of out K-ville trips now.  The kids were beyond excited to get their easter baskets, watching them dig into their baskets is so much fun, they def. racked up!  We got them water balloons and water guns, I know what were we thinking!  After a very yummy dinner, dad and mike went out and hide the eggs.  The kids were to funny looking for them.  Poor nolan could hardly  keep his eggs in his basket.  We hid one egg with a 2 dollar bill in it, britt was the lucky finder of that egg.  Once they finished hunting for eggs, they got on their swimsuits and we filled up some water balloons and they proceeded to soak each other, once they finished that they all three jumped into the hot tub to warm up.  After all of that we layed around snacking a lil then got the kids ready for bed.  Nolan was out like a light.  We put britt and nolan a movie in and me and mike headed out to the hot tub for some nice one on one time ;)   Poor mike could hardly keep his eyes open tho!  Once we headed in we found mom britt and jacob coloring, not going to sleep like we had planned.  We headed up stayin up way to late just talking which was one of my fave parts of the trip.  Although it made for a tough time of getting up to go to church!

Sunday morning rushing around trying to get ready for church because I chose to lay on the couch to long was not any fun.  But thankfully we made it there on time.  Church was church, nice service except for the fact that we stuck sitting in front of a vent blowing cold air, made for a cold service.  After church we went and ate at a buffet, yuck not the best choice, no ones stomach was right for a few hours, and unfortunatly we had a 3 hour drive to get to.  This dirve was a lot easier no rain all sun.  After we dropped britt off at her mothers we headed out to my granny carols to visit my aunt marg, shot the shit for awhile then headed home, nothing got unpacked, and somehow we still stayed up way to late.  We had a wonderful time tho

I am totally in love with my life

Untill next time
