Easter 2023

We had a good Easter - I'm so excited spring is here! School is almost out, whoop!

We started our holiday weekend with Paige having strep throat. Cracks me up that 5 years ago Drew had strep this same weekend! Poor baby did NOT feel good - her fever got up to 104.3!


Luckily she felt better by Saturday {and no one else had any symptoms} so we were able to spend the day with my family!

Lots of cousins ready to hunt eggs!

Feeling so much better!

When your 6'5" cousin hides eggs. {grin}


Mamas and their babies

Can't believe Miles is almost as tall as Brent!

The 2 silliest 10 year olds you'll find

The OG Swopes have grown - I love when we can all be together!

Sunday we had a very full church service and then we went to Brent's parents' house for lunch. It was a small affair as his niece and one of his nephews had to work. Branden was able to come which was great {no pictures though oops} and he and Trent had a lot of fun playing Yu-Gi-Oh together - I'm so glad Branden loves that card game because I do NOT understand it!

Much smaller hunting party - they still got way too much candy!

Love this family of mine!

Now the countdown really begins for summer - we have 6 1/2 weeks left until we're done!!

Beautiful Bluebonnets

I was getting stressed about getting our bluebonnet pictures - I could tell they were starting to fade a little. So I got the kids out the other day to GET IT DONE. You can tell these aren't the best flowers we've ever had, but I'm just happy we did it. I'll check on Easter Sunday if the ones by my in-laws house look any better.

With that lead-up...I present our Bluebonnet Pictures - 2023 Edition.


And my adorable nature photographer, Drew, snapped a neat picture of this flower {weed?} that was also in the bluebonnet field.


Until next year...or maybe Sunday. {grin}
