RED AND YELLOW KILL A FELLA

RED AND YELLOW KILL A FELLA?????? Yes it does???

As the hip hubby and I walked back into the house about 8:30 this morning after attending Connor's Benjamin Franklin speech the screaming started. I was walking from our garage (which is detached) I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I walked up the steps and Hip hubby said he take my phone and keys and when I turned around I then saw what he had seen.  Then I opened the back door ( incase I needed a quick escape) Tom came around the garage with a shovel and the hunt was on.....He is trying to be manly and I am screaming like a little girl. Out comes our housekeeper and she started screaming in spanish and yelling "snake" and she runs back inside. I just keep screaming and jumping up and down. Tom then hits the snake with the shovel and he kills it. Oh by the way I am still screaming. Then he thinks he is going to bury it in the yard. Are you kidding me,,,,I told him all the other snakes will come after us for revenge, you must get rid of it....(after I take some pictures to verify this is not poisonous and for my blog) oh by the way "still screaming."

After all the excitment I come inside and our housekeeper is yelling "poisonous". So I get on the computer and look up poisonous snakes and what do you know a picture of the snakes pops up  a CORAL snake and guess what.....YES IT IS POISONOUS......

 

This is Tom the snake killer...Now we will have to listen to how macho he is because he killed a snake....(really I will listen to him all day long, because thank god he was here and saw it)

Only in Texas can you kill a poisonous snake before breakfast.....

Easter Egg Hunt #2

Our good friends the Donielson's came over to celebrate Easter. Connor and Cole wanted to have their own egg hunt.

So we stuffed more eggs (thank goodness I over bought on the candy). This time we had Kyle hide all of the eggs. Connor and Cole had a blast.

Connor's basket looks pretty full...

Cole was just to fast for the camera, so I made he stop and do the picking up the easter egg pose...

EGG HUNT

Easter is here.....I love Easter. The hip kids got their baskets and they were a big hit. Yes this picture is sideways, I was to lazy to change it. All the boys got a new bathing suit and a special gift. Cody got an ipod case, Kyle wanted a new pair of shorts and Connor wanted some cologne.(oh, he is growing up so fast). Hip Hubby and I were the egg hiders. We have more fun trying to hide the eggs, so the kids can't find them,(well he likes to do that, I make it pretty easy for them)....

Even our door greater "Miss. Bunny" got in on the hide....

Here come the boyz....and the hunt began. Each year the older they get, the faster it is all over. They can run and pick up an egg in one clean swoop and know what kind of candy it has.....what talent..

Here is some of the loot....Every Hip has to keep his loot separate. I guess they have not figured out that I put all of the candy in the same jar....

WARNING TO ALL.......This is what your teeth will look like if you eat all of the candy in one day......please brush your teeth tonight....

RAW OR GRILLED?

Today at our big Easter party at the in-laws, they had oysters!!!!!yum,yum. Kyle just dove right in. He loves oysters and could not get enough. You had to shuck them and he did a great job. He loved them raw and grilled on the open fire...

Here's the proof. Yes, a 12 year old loves oysters!!!! Look how cute he is with his glove on.

Bottoms up...or down they slide.  I think after 12 oysters I had to cut him off. All I could think about was all the candy,sausage,pasta salad, and oysters in his little tummy.

EASTER EGG PARTY

Today we went over to the in-laws for their big Easter party. Here in Texas we love to have cascarones. Hip hubby got nailed in the head with one and this is the left over...

HA...HA...

Connor really got into the sprit....he got G-pa really good.

Kyle with cousin Korbin dying easter eggs.

Of course what all of the kids were waiting for was the Big Easter Egg Hunt....

I bet there was probably 20+ kids. The kids had a blast hunting for the eggs.

There were 3 GOLDEN eggs with $$$ in them for the kids to find. Kyle and Connor each found one...Lets just say I was glad that I did not do any of the hiding, I didn't want to be questioned about that..

Here Connor is with his big winning....The GOLDEN egg.

EASTER

I really wanted to post this yesterday,but I could not get my blog working.

I love this sign and I found it at Hobby Lobby ($7.00)

EGG-STRAVAGANZA

Today we finally dyed our EASTER eggs.... I have had them boiled for days but with Cody being in New York and Connor was sick this was the first day we could sit down and color eggs. The hip 14 year old declared that he was to old to dye eggs,,,(WHAT) So, I talked him into dying 6 eggs and of course once he got started he couldn't stop. Each of the boyz had 1 1/2 dozen eggs to dye,,, sound like a lot but they finished in record time. This was just a warm up, we are going to the grandparents house with all of the family to dye more eggs and have  a egg hunt this afternoon. 

See hip Cody did get into dying the eggs...

Connor had a mess, I don't know what he was doing.

Kyle had one of the coolest eggs.It ended up looking like camouflage. 

Here are some of the finished eggs...I love all of the bright colors. It reminds me that spring is here, or if you live in Texas summer is right around the corner!
