LOTS of PHOTOS!!!! :-)

We had a ton of fun back home for Easter! I have attached MANY photos below of our weekend....I took A LOT and many are on the other card reader, so I will catch those up later in the week! We had a wonderful weekend weatherwise also.....which made it great because we were outdoors most of the time. I spent a few hours with my grandfather also....which was nice, and much needed! Enjoy all the "outdoors" below and I will post more soon! I hope that everyones weekend was just as blessed as ours!

Back home....

Here are a few pic's from back home on Saturday! It was a fun filled busy day......Lots of four wheeler riding, journeys out on the golf cart....pretend egg hunting....watching "Benjamin" the rabbit roam the property....playing in the creeks....etc! I got some much needed R & R for sure! We had a great day....a few minor mishaps that are now comical.....but I'll explain that later!

This morning we woke up after the Easter Bunny paid us all a visit....went to church and had a great day egg hunting and visiting with family! I will write about that and post all those photos tomorrow. I was able to get some great photos of Maddy out in the woods/creeks this afternoon!

Hope you all had a wonderful day!!

Easter.....The Kids ARE Growing UPPP!!

Hard day at work with these photo shoots!!!

• 
  Here are some of my favorite photos of Lyza from my Easter shoot. To view many more cuties go to www.walkbyfaithphoto.com
• She is growing so much...sleeping in a big girl bed...getting ready to potty train next week.....seriously, I just don't want her to grow up!!! I'd still take the baby bed and diapers....I don't mind them a bit...but I know it must be done! She is singing everything in Spanish (thanks to her doll and Dora...plus some on Mommy's part)...she repeats EVERYTHING you tell her too......and in the morning first thing I walk into her room she says "OH MOMMY, I SO Happy See you!!! Makes my mornings worth getting up for! She has a stubborn streak a mile wide, but a tenderness for her mama' and daddy that truly make up for it!!! Just stop growing Louisa Faith Anay Melvin!!!!

• Sorry, there are no photos of Maddy in her GORGEOUS Easter Dress yet! The day we were going to try for outdoors.....we ended up not being able to get the makeup and dye out of her hair from the play. So maybe Friday night......and definatly over the weekend! She is going to be beautiful!!! I can't wait to see her all dressed up!
• Have a wonderful Easter Weekend........

Haircut and Happenings.....

Madisyn made it to her first practice on Tues and got waylaid by a bigger girl....put her out of commission and her one knee is double the size of the other. She is in a knee brace, we go back to the dr. tomorrow and go from there! Put a damper on her track, dance and remainder of soccer this week! Always something!!!

Lyza got a hair cut this morning. I have been toying with the idea of taking her to a professional, it was just getting out of hand and no matter how meticulous I kept it....it was just out of control. SO, although I made an appt. for tomorrow, I asked a beautician friend just what to do and.....I did it myself!! I can actually get a large comb through it when wet.....You can't tell that much of a difference probably, but you REALLY can tell a difference in the back, where the bald spot used to be! It's a change for me anyway because I am the one who does the hair every day.

I am slowly getting out of my lingeringing sickness. I didn't think this was EVER going to pass. I go to the dr. tomorrow.....and hopefully can get back on track. My house is a mess and it really shows that I have stayed in bed ALL week! Oh well......such is life! Just where is that dern Fairy GodMother when ya need her??? I really could have used a maid/babysitter this week!!!!

This weekend we are going to my parents for the whole weekend. I hope it turns out to be nice so we can enjoy the outdoors! I'm looking forward to the time with Chris (my mom is a great babysitter!!!:-).....and watching all the kiddos hunt eggs! Should be fun! Looking forward to spending some time with extended family also! (DUSTY).

Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
