Meeting Bella

Ok...so maybe our Saturday family get together at Lake Lewisville was more than just about meeting baby Bella...but you have to know that everyone there was so excited when Jon & Cindy drove up! This was the first time that most of us got to see Bella in person! When she arrived, she and Barrett were both sleeping. That didn't last long! When one started crying...they were both wailing!

GG was happy to spend most of the day sitting in a lounge chair holding her newest great-granddaughter. Brody was excited to see Bella for the first time. He's very gentle with babies...and was telling Collin to be gentle too!

Barrett didn't really care about Bella. He just wanted to crawl around and put every leaf, stick, and blade of grass in his mouth! It was cloudy and cool when we left our house on Saturday morning. By the afternoon the sun came out and we weren't cold anymore. Do you think that means I remembered to put sunscreen on me and the boys?!? Nope. This cute smiling face was sun kissed and his poor blond head was red by the time we got home!

The kids were ready for the Easter Egg Hunt (and no...we didn't let Brody bring his shotgun!) Brody, Collin, Bella, Lauren, Katelyn, and Barrett. Katelyn forgot her Easter basket, so she used a bucket that Ron & Jan had at the campground. Too bad we forgot to set the Electrasol bucket aside for this group picture! lol

It was so much fun having the Easter egg hunt at a campground! It was like having a citywide egg hunt for 4 kids! As much as we tried to hurry Brody, he had to open EACH egg that he found before he put it in his basket!

My sisters, Ann & Audria. Aren't they beautiful?! Hmmm...just realized that this is the only picture of adults that I'm posting. Oh well. All of us were there (except for Josh who had to work) and none of us look much different! lol

Namaw made a few "special" eggs for Barrett. They were cheerio filled eggs.
