A Very Late Easter Post

Our Easter Weekend encompassed a wide range of emotions... our main reason for heading to Grace was Jean Tibbits funeral. It was nice to be reminded of the resurrection in the same weekend of her passing. It was a beautiful funeral and really reminded us of what a wonderful community Grace is. There was so much support shown to the Tibbits and it reminded us of how much support we received with Grady, a lot from people we had either never met or met briefly. The funeral also reminded us of how important family is and how much we want to be close to our family. Hopefully in the near future we will find our home in Caribou County once again. Here are lots of pictures to document a great weekend.


The family gathered around what spectacle you ask...well, we all chipped in for a bike for Lisa for Mother's Day. We gave it to her a bit early. You should have heard her squeal, she was so excited.

Now this picture is just priceless. Mothers are the very best!! I'm glad she raised him to be such a good man!



What's Easter dinner without a whol lot of CHOCOLATE! Melissa is sporting it for us.



Gathered around the dinner table. The place that always attracts the fam...where the food is.



Grady and Grandma Hubbard!


Grandpa Hubbard with Grady and Axel in their Harley outfits. The source from whence the obsession came!



Eli climbing a tree at Mom and Dad's Easter party to try and get a balloon that drifted...a real life spiderman.



Axel enjoying his Easter spoils in the giant sandbox aka the sand volleyball court. It looks funny cause it is so huge compared to him and he is there all alone. What a twurp.


We had to keep reminding Axel what the task at hand was...get the eggs buddy. He had fun though, when he wasn't distracted. Maybe he had forgotten what green grass was and how it felt to be outside after such a long winter.



Mom and I sporting the pinata parts as hats. Like I said Mom's are the best!!



The crew of Hannah, Ellie, Mickey, Tess, and Pacen and Murr.


I finally caught him looking at the camera on the easter egg hunt.




A happy looking bunch...Braxton, Murr, Sunny, Grady, and Mom


The happy family that is impossible to get everyone looking at the camera...let alone looking pleasant, which is why our family picture is so outdated....hopefully one is coming soon.


Grady "hunting" his eggs too.



Fascinated by the rolled tongue. Check out his look of extreme concentration.



Just evidence that I was actually there! :)


A picture is worth a thousand words...

oh the beautiful sights of Grace. I don't even know how long it's been since I've seen your backyard! I miss that old sand volleyball court--and look how big your little saplings have grown! Hooks' house over the fence, the mint green paint ;), Eli's giant parking lot and yard...ah, the good old days. Your boys, and your nieces and nephews, are growing like weeds! And I miss your adorable face!!

Thanks for the post. You're my only link to the family since everyone else is anti-sharing pictures. Maybe it's their way of punishing me for living too far away to enjoy their company. I especially enjoyed the picture of Mom with the Gradester. What a cute face! I don't even recognize him - he's changed so much and I LOVE Axel's glasses! We nerds stick together, although I'm already praying he gets better teeth than the rest of us!
