EASTER!

How wonderful is it to serve a risen SAVIOR!! :)  Who cares if this weekend didn't go as planned??  I can rejoice knowing that HE LIVES!

This weekend was supposed to be the big Bullock shindig, but with sickness plaguing the Bullock household, we all weren't able to head down to Prescott.  So, Toby and I enacted Plan B :)  Humnoke bound.  Daddy said, "I guess we'll take sloppy seconds."  Haha.  He's so funny.

Here's typical Kylie - barefoot and loving it.

I was expecting this weekend to be quite dreary with rain and cloudiness, but I suppose that was the forecast for the northern part of the state because Humnoke was beautiful!


Kylie had a blast hanging out with GranJan and GranDaddy all weekend.  However, she prefers to call them Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw.  Well, she kinda calls both sets Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw.  Maybe she'll differentiate between the two eventually :)




We pretty much stayed outside for most of the weekend.  It was just so peaceful being outside in the sunshine enjoying the breeze and visiting family.





We dyed easter eggs and Kylie didn't spill the dye once.  Can't say that for GranJan.  She spilt the blue dye not once, but twice.  I guess I get it from my Momma - clumsiness, that is.

She loved doing this!

Kylie assumed that the dye was kool-aid.  You should've seen her initial reaction.  Hilarious.  

She was so proud of her creations!

We had a wonderful Easter service at my home church, Rowes Chapel.  It's always great to see all of my 'homefolk'.  No matter where I go in life - Humnoke will always be home.

While at home, I finally gave into Momma's nagging and sorted through my old closet.  I took a little trip down nostalgia lane.  I found stuff from elementary, jr. high, high school, and even early college.  Trapper keepers, baby dolls, high top basketball shoes, wind suits, pictures, my 8th grade journal from English class, and even a graduation card that I had never opened (it even had money in it!).  Good times.  I probably had way too much fun going through an old closet.

Sunday afternoon, Daddy and Momma cooked a most delicious lunch and Uncle Robert, Aunt Vickie, and my Paw-Paw came down to eat with us.  I must say - we ate good while we were at home.


Of course, Kylie had a blast.  She was stinking awesome at finding easter eggs!  She'd find one and say, "Where more?"  There were a few tricky ones that she needed help with, but for the most part she rocked it out.

The hunt begins!

She even spotted the egg in the tree.

She had a little trouble with this one.  Haha.  Can you find the egg?

She was so proud that she found all the eggs.  

We had a great weekend in general.  I just wish that we could have spent some time with the Bullock's.  Luckily, next weekend is Kylie's 2nd birthday party in Humnoke.  We'll for sure get to see the Bullock Clan.

Weird how time slips away, isn't it?  Suddenly you turn around and it's eleven years later.  Things never stay the same.  That's something my Daddy has always told me.  I never really understood that until one Wednesday afternoon when I was in 9th grade.   Pardon me if this post is choppy, but it's something that I can't recall without reliving it.  I am already crying. I remember everything so vividly.  It was just a normal day - just a normal day.  Gosh, I wish it would've just been a normal day.  We went to and from class all morning.  We were all so innocent.  Smiling, laughing.  Having a great time.  Lunch came and went.  Fifth period started.  I, personally, was sitting in Mrs. Dardenne's room wondering where the heck she was because believe me, something had to be wrong for Mrs. Dardenne to be late to class.  I'm sure many of my peers were also wondering why there was suddenly a feeling of something...

Sunny Day! Sweeping the Clouds Away!

With the snow melting and the sun shining bright, I am reminiscing on a couple of Saturday's past.  Two weeks ago we were celebrating the random mid-70 degree weather by heading to Petit Jean Mountain.  It was a pretty spectacular little trip. We left later than expected, so I chose to drive since I drive a little faster than Toby ;).  Kylie was busting with excitement because I told her about the awesome waterfall that she'd get to see for the first time.  She couldn't wait to get there! We got off on the Morrilton exit and I started to turn to the right.  Toby insisted that we turn left, but I was almost positive that Petit Jean was to the right.  After all, I had done a Home Health clinical just a few months before.  We had driven all over this area - surely I knew where I was going.  So, I talked him into turning to the right.  We drove, and we drove.  We drove for almost 25 minutes.  I kept saying - "Oh, there it is! ...

Has it really been almost 4 months?!

I honestly can't believe how time has flown by.  So many things have happened since I last posted! Kylie has turned 3 and now has a sweet baby sister who is 8 weeks old already.  And, let me tell you - Gracie is such a happy child.  I love her sweet smile in the mornings when I sing to her.  It melts my heart!   "I'm TEE!" My beautiful little Gracie.      Having fun with GranJan at her birthday party!  My sweet best friends, Casey and Shelly! My little artist.  She LOVES painting! Sweet little face. My very first nephew, Joseph Ryan Bullock, finally made his appearance 17 days late at 7 pounds and 11 ounces.  May 9th couldn't have come quick enough for sweet Ann Claire and Josh.  Now, he's already 10 days old.  Aren't they cute?! Ann Claire - you are beautiful and I'm so proud of you!! Kylie couldn't wait to meet her handsome cousin! Sweet little man...
