Lots of Rock

We have a ditch beside our house that is basically a huge mud hole when it rains. All the kids in the neighborhood like to ride their 4wheelers and golf carts through the ditch and sometimes through our yard. We will even catch kids playing in the ditch with good clothes on. YUCK! So to stop this mud riding through the ditch, "mean" Doug decided to order some rock to fill the ditch. Well Doug ordered 24 tons of rock and his plan was to put out all the rock by himself this weekend. I thought he was crazy and should have rented a big machine to move the rock in the ditch instead of killing himself by doing it all alone. Well look what happened when I walked outside Saturday morning to see his progress.

24 tons of rock

The neighborhood kids showed up and decided to pitch in on the help

Then the boys wanted to climb on the rock hill

So Doug had enough of that and also the kids were getting bored after a while so our neighbor, Chris, decided to offer his tractor. Whew, we were definately greatful for his assistance.

So the boys had to sit back and watch

Look how much rock we STILL have left. Ugh! We are trying to offer it to our neighbors.

But the ditch sure looks good!

Tulips Tulips Everywhere

I love spring because that means Tulips start blooming. One of my favorite flowers is a tulip. They are so pretty in every color they come in. I love going to Oxford around the Lyceum and seeing all the gorgeous tulips they have there. Well I wanted to plant some in my flower beds so last fall I did and I was so anxious to see if they would come up this year. And guess what, THEY DID and are in full bloom! Here are a few pictures!

All colors of Tulips

My favorite color Tulip, pink!

Mamaw's 91st Birthday Party

My Mamaw turned 91 on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010. We hosted a family birthday party at the retirement community that she lives at. We had so much fun celebrating her life and visiting with our family. Here are a few pictures from the event!

Before we decided to go over to the party Anna Grace needed to take a nap but needless to say she didn't and decided to play with Aunt Mary. So we stripped her down and let her squeal her little heart out.

Mmmm good hands!

Now here are the pictures from Mamaw's birthday party! Enjoy!

Easter 2010

We had a busy Easter weekend 2010. Doug and I both were off work for Good Friday so we enjoyed the day cleaning the house and catching up on household chores since we knew we were going to be busy all weekend. Nic, Kim, Ross, and Kalyn came in Friday afternoon so we cooked here at the house and visited with them. On Saturday, Ross went to an Easter egg hunt at Ballard Park and found a bunch of eggs. Here is Ross and Papaw after the Easter Egg Hunt. Look at all those eggs! He was so proud!

Kalyn chilled in the stroller while watching brother hunt eggs.

After the Easter egg hunt we went back to Doug's parents house and had Easter lunch. It was delicious and then we dove into the Easter Egg cake that I made. We cut Ross a piece of cake and he asked where the candles were, so of course we had to sing "Happy Birthday" to everyone. It was so funny!

Ross was so tired after all the festivities of the day that he just fell asleep on PawPaw as soon as he sat on the couch.

On Sunday we went to our early church service, then to Sunday School and then to my parent's church at 11am. From there we ate a good meal at the Tupelo Country Club with my family and then went home to take pictures and rest before we had to be at my Mamaw's 91st birthday party. It was a busy and fun day! Here are a few pictures from Easter Sunday with my family.

than taking pictures. Mommy was not happy!

Finally she looked for a decent McMath family picture

Last but not least a picture with my precious nieces. Love them!!!!

The making of my first Easter Egg cake

I wanted to make my first Easter Egg cake this weekend so Doug and I set out on this adventure. It was so much fun! We got a little carried away with the icing and design. But oh well, here are a few pictures.

Being to ice the cake

The cake is iced and ready to start piping the design

The finished product. I know it looks "unprofessional" but it sure tasted good!

Happy Easter

Christ the Lord is risen today! Hallelujah! That song has been on my mind all week just knowing that we are approaching Easter, the day Jesus died for us and rose again. What an amazing feeling! Hope you and your family has a great Easter. We have definately had a great one so I will post pics later!

Happy Easter!
