Happy Easter!!

Our Easter weekend was egg-stremely busy this year. We took advantage of the long weekend to go back up to the land to do some more clearing. We hadn't been since February and even though it hasn't rained even a bit, the weeds were waist high!! Thankfully our wonderful neighbor brought his tractor and brush hog and mowed quite a bit of the weeds for us Friday morning. Brian and I did some more clearing back behind the trailer and started rebuilding the burn pile from our last trip. We cleaned up and then headed into College Station for a while. We visited our favorite jeweler - David Gardner's - to get Brian's Aggie Ring re-sized, ate lunch with my sister, had dessert at Fro Yo Yo - a frozen yogurt shop - and then hit the mall for some new A&M shirts. We spent the rest of the afternoon fishing at Gibbon's Creek Reservoir. It was crazy windy and we didn't catch anything which was disappointing but there's always next time.

Saturday was another busy day of work clearing a section of brush to the right of the driveway between the front corner and the "garden". It took Brian and I until early in the afternoon to get it all cleared out and we created three very large burn piles with all the trees and vines we removed. MaMaw and Poppa Steve came up for the day and brought a charcoal grill with them so we had burgers and hot dogs for lunch on Saturday. They also showed us how to set up the awning so we enjoyed nice breaks in the shade with a nice cool breeze. Later that afternoon, I took the boys into town to see the new movie Rio while Brian relaxed at the trailer. We picked up dinner on the way back and enjoyed a nice quite dinner and a movie before bed.

Sunday morning we got up early, packed up the trailer and headed home for a fun filled Easter Sunday. We got to my parents house and the boys dug into their Easter baskets. There was lots of toys and candy. My mom found these awesome tote bags and matching towels for the boys. It will definitely be nice to have them carry their own swim stuff this summer. After everything was opened, the boys all enjoyed an egg hunt in both the back and front yards. Once Jonah woke up from his nap, we headed to the County Line for some super yummy BBQ lunch. We relaxed for a while and then headed home for Sunday dinner and another egg hunt at Kristen's house. The boys came home with even more candy but hey, it's Easter! I definitely know why we had the Monday after Easter off growing up. The teachers did not want to deal with all the kids after a day full of candy.

Pictures to come soon. I forgot my camera at my parents house and haven't had time to go get it yet.
