Lawnmower ride

I realized I had these pics from two weeks ago when GaGa and Granddaddy kept Hannah and Nathan while Ben and I were in Texas. When we came to pick them up, all they wanted to do was ride!

My parents and brother Caleb came to Raymond Pres. Easter morning. Ben filled the pulpit that day and everyone came for lunch at our house. Daniel and Ann who work at Raymond Pres. already had plans but we were able to visit at church. The kids were cuter than ever and alot of fun. We hid eggs in the back yard after everyone left. Our sweet neighbor, Nelda Moore, gave the kids bunny ears to wear on their heads. Nathan's were a little big and he was so cute trying to keep them on! He really wanted to keep them on but bless his heart, they kept falling off. In stead of hunting for eggs, he followed me around the yard begging me to put them back on. I'm so thankful for fun days!

The latest on Texas is that Ben and I got to go shop for houses last week! We found one, made an offer but didn't get it. Yes, we were disappointed but there are lots of other houses in TX. We will probably go back in April.

Ben and Rebecca's Wedding

FINALLY!!! I mean that in more ways then one. Yes, finally they are MARRIED and we all celebrated with them! (But also, finally I got these pictures to upload!! It took four posts and they are certainly in random order but here they are.) Hannah attended her FIRST wedding this past weekend in Holly Springs MS and IT SNOWED! She was quite the little partier. She loved the band and danced and danced! She wore a princess dress as she called it and got to meet some of my extended family for the first time. Also, the wedding was on Ben Hailey's 30th birthday so Hannah and I surprised him with a cookie cake( I had to cancel his surprise party last week b'c he and Nathan had the flu). Oh yeah, Nathan stayed with Ben's mom for three days in Eupora MS and loved it! The family, etc had a party after the party at the ranch where there was a huge loft full of toys and lots of room for the adults to wind down.
SCROLL DOWN FOR ALL THE WEDDING PICTURES!!
