Easter-Past

I can't believe we are creeping up on Easter already! I know my blogging has been sporadic lately, but we have been kind of boring and there just isn't much going on. But, I figured no holiday on my blog would be complete without a "Holiday-Past" photo montage, so here it is!

Kayley's First Easter

Still Kayley's First Easter... She had two outfits and I really liked them both...

Kayley's Second Easter...

Yum, Chocolate Bunny!

Hodgson Mill

As we have been looking to move, we have sent away for relocation packets from several different places. One place was West Plains, MO. I grew up in the Ozarks and would really love to move back home. While West Plains isn't exactly "home" it is pretty close. Anyway, I received a flyer from United Country/Ozark Realty, Inc and when I opened the first page, I couldn't believe my eyes! There at the top was Hodgson Mill!

Hodgson Mill is for Sale! All 240 Acres! The whole Mill! The Spring! Even the Gift Shop!

I wonder if the locals are disappointed to see this mill close down? And while it is not a "working mill" per se...since Hodgson Mill products are readily available on your grocery store shelves...it is just another piece of Missouri history that is hit by the economy and disappearing.

I can't claim to remember much about Hodgson Mill. This is a picture of me with my parents at Hodgson Mill when I was only 2 but I do know is an historic landmark. It is a place that I would love to visit again, but may never get the chance.

Mommy & Daddy Go To The Dentist....

Ok, so both James and I had our turn at the Dentist this week. I can't speak for James, but I can speak for myself when I say that Dr. Clark devastated me when he let me know (very, very nicely) that I had a cavity. My first cavity! Although we did argue a little over how you technically define "cavity" but in the end I gave in and agreed that I did, indeed, have a cavity. Albeit a VERY small one (that is barely a cavity). Hahaha. But, hey! I'm 32 years old and I just got my first cavity! That is pretty impressive!!!

Not impressive enough to make it into the Four Peaks Family Dentistry "No Cavity Club" though. But somebody else did...do you recognize a familar face on this board?

I have added a link to Four Peaks on the right hand side in case you are looking for a recommended dentist!

Easter Eggs!

We colored our Easter Eggs today. Kayley had a great time and we ended up with some really pretty eggs. Enjoy the pics and video. Notice how green Kayley's fingers were by the time we were done? She looks like Incredible Baby Hulk or something.

A Very Merry UnBirthday - to YOU!

As we are getting ready to move, I have been having a fun time trying to eat down some things from our food storage. I decided to bake cupcakes. We haven't had cake since Kayley's Birthday last year, so it had been a while.

As I started making the cake, Kayley was SO excited! She kept saying, "oooohh! OOOhh!! We are having birthday cake?!" I didn't want to disapoint her, so I said, "Actually we are having an UN-Birthday Cake... " And so we did...
