The Collings Family

Spring Break started out with a fun little Easter egg hunt in the house. We then settled into the office in our pj's, moon chairs and snacks for a wonderful weekend of conference. Tuck ditched conference for some lego time. He tells us that he has given up on trains...I sure wish he would have told me this last November (Christmas + birthday = a heck of a lot of trains) He spent 8 HOURS putting star wars legos together that Saturday. Dave and I enjoyed an evening of Micheal Buble and sushi! Don't know which part I enjoyed more - the sushi was that good. We got word that Dave's grandmother passed away and we headed to the Tri -Cities for the week. I forgot my camera and realized that I had no documentation of this wonderful trip until the end. Words cannot describe how wonderful that little trip was. It was filled with much love, tears, and a lot of fun. The picture below is our hotel. It was a cute, new little place that had only been open one month. The kids said i

is there anything more enjoyable than a happy 2 & 4 year old? Holidays would be so bland without them:) Dave took Tucker on this field trip to the fire station.

This is Mrs. Cloud's mother that owns the AMAZING house on the lake where we hold our Easter egg hunt. Liza immediately took to her - showed her the lunch pail, her hair, her shoes, her smile and then insisted that she hold her. The wonderful woman couldn't shake her the entire 90 minutes we were there. Just goes to show-Liza LOVES her own grand and great grandmothers. she just doesn't get to see them near enough.

My dear sweet children decided to draw glasses and mustaches on each other's school pictures this year. Rather than spend another $20 and get retakes, I decided to try and take some myself with Dave's fun camera.
