message to papa and Easter 2011 002
He is risen--just as He said! It has been a wonderful Holy week and a great Easter Sunday. Here is a video of the first annual Kelly/Sanders egg hunt. The kids had such a wonderful time. There were about three adults per child at the egg hunt. Next year I think almost everyone will have the "hunt" part down pat--but a new crop of babies will be walking by then! What a blessing to celebrate with our family!

Spring pics
Spring is here--and I am behind on posting pics. I have been hit by the deployment blues over the past few weeks. Which means a real lose of motivation. I feel like I maybe starting to see the other side of the slump. After much prayer and a few new summer plants, I am starting to feel more like myself. Here are a few pictures from our last few weeks.
I love pots. This big green one is new to my collection. I learned a few tricks after last year. I am hopeful to have better luck this time around. 
Reece has been learning about plants at school. Here is his plant project from last week. We have both been amazed at how fast plants grow!
Here is one of my pots in the back yard--lots of sun. I pray they make it through our hot Alabama summer!
Reece helped me plant today--well he at least kept me company.
Mariemma never keeps her glasses on--but today she learned they really do help on sunny days. She just looks so cute.
On Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt with cousins Evie and Jonas. Here are the boys eating a cookie
We had to pull them out of the air bounce. They could have played all day.
Oh the joys of finding eggs. I just love how this picture turned out!
This is another cool pic--I kinda like the overexposed look. This was really fun to both kids. Reece rode the pony and Mariemma made horse nosies while she watched.
Ok so this was Mariemma's first egg hunt. I asked Reece to teach her how to find eggs. Well at first he just grabbed them all but by the end he really started to delight in watching ME discover them for herself. Reece really wanted ME to find this one hidden in the tree.
My mom was so sweet to give the kids these egg grabbers--for lack of a better word. They pick the eggs up out of the dye. Well ME had no idea what they were used for but she really liked playing with them!
Yes I have to say this was the cleanest egg dying experience ever! But he did such a good job.

BUGS!
So I started this post several days ago--and I am just now getting around to finishing it. Reece is really into bugs. His sweet teacher Mrs. Harris is teaching on bugs and plants for the rest of the school year. Reece tries really hard to find a bug or plant to take to class. Well Tuesday we hit the jack pot. I was out taking a few pictures of our dogwood tree that finally decided to bloom. I put Mariemma in the wagon with a dum dum pop and Reece was of course running around getting out some energy. 
Reece came running up with this really awesome find--a luna moth. We have read about them but never seen one. Reece was really sad that it was not alive but what a treasure for him to share with his class.
Mariemma has never been one to smile for the camera. I hate it because Reece really is an easy laugh. I think we are starting to turn over a new leaf. When I got the camera out to capture--no pun intended--Reece bug, Mariemma just yelled "cheese". It was so cute--I just had to take her picture.
