Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend was hectic - these pictures don't even do it justice! Aside from the business calls, late dinners, television shows, and relaxation, we were eating up every chance we could get to spend some quality time together. Henceforth the Easter egg hunt, egg-decorating session at Kristens, Hannah Montana movie, and Easter Day dinner. For squeezing all that in a three-day timeslot, we're considered LUCKY.

First off was the Lamb family easter egg hunt at the Rose's. Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Scott can throw quite a party! At first nobody seemed too interested in ditching the backyard and heading to the front to give us some time to hide the eggs, but after much persistance, they were off. Talmage did exact calculations to see who-got-how-many, and without a flurry, the competition began. here's us on Easter day. How cute!! Two minutes before church, straggling around, yelling and screaming. I don't know about you, but I DETEST being late to things. It's embarassing and you feel like an idiot walking in even twenty seconds into it. Ugh!

But otherwise, we're cute and sweet and this picture is adorable :)
Here's the little girls at the Easter Egg hunt. We had to comment on how a) everyone is wearing pink or a very close shade of pink..and b) how it resembles the Cingular bars!
L-R: Susan Lamb, Arden Lamb, Rachel Rose, Emma Lamb.. cute cousins!!


This picture is irresistable: Ethan and Emma are so darned cute!!

Aside from that, our Friday was spent at Kristens decorating eggs! We love dying easter eggs - it's such a thrill and too much fun for the kids. Kristen is a great aunt! And we all got to see baby Roman! Melissa is one heck of a mother!

During their fun hour, I was at the Hannah Montana movie with my friends, Kaitlyn, Hannah, Cebrina, Taylor-Ann, and Jessica. Thanks girls!!

Personality

We've been facing a *tiny* problem.. with - yes - **Emma**

No, no, not a problem.. actually, quite the opposite! More of a.. hmmmm.... stage.

The Drama Stage......

If you have younger children at the age of about 4-5, you have either encountered or are soon to encounter this stage.

I warn you.. be careful what you say.

But that's nothing. Emma's always been a drama queen. What awakens us, (or, well, me) is the faces and expressions!

Don't beleive me? Well, then, go right ahead and take a very close look.

Exhibit A ~ Cheeky, cocky, bratty, prissy, popular, self-centered, full of herself. (It's the best!)

Exhibit B ~ Angered, frustrated, *not-getting-her-way*, unenthusiastic, or her normal face :'(


And finally, .. Exhibit C ~ Excited, motionless, leaping inside, our little princess.





Did I not tell you? Well, if you see the signs, just remember:

I warned YOU

The Wedding

This defines our group...well, that only looks like half the McGhie grandkids, but oh well. It's still a picture.

If this becomes our Christmas picture, don't be surprised :) I looked and thought, "Hey, that's a cute picture!"

The cute ladies chilling out

Nick and Heather got married....FOREVER AGO!!! But sorry I am slow. At least I posted, though!

Disney World 2007 (way too many people and too much money, but worth it...)
End of day one (can't move one more step - except for maybe Emma...)

We all get wet (very wet, making me the wettest...don't ask why)

Who does this man remind me of??

Some 3D action with the nerdy glasses

Buzz Lightyear (Something worth kicking in the shin)

Family Safari Trip (too exciting)

Grumpy Emma (stay clear...she'll blow)

Peace out from E (or V for Victory)

On the way home (gun in hand, bangs in face)

We had the most thrilling vacation ever. Ethan won two giant stuffed toys (one on the cart and the otehr hidden somewhere) on the exact game Talmage won nothing. Me and my mom went on Everst (the biggest roller caoster in teh park) three times in a row non-stop within about five or ten minutes with fastpasses!!! It was tragic when we were forced to go home, but the thought of missing school for two entire days was actually pretty cool. Anyway, we love you all and RECOMEND Disneyworld/land to everyone nearby. :-)

Sunday picnic on front yard

Halloween

Talmage is a baseball player (again)

Cowgirl (by the way, this pose was forced by my mother, even though I made more than one suggestion for poses...)

Karate Kid (waxing off - I think)

It's all about the pink boots

Lady killer of the 4th grade

Emma more like her mom everyday. Shopping, doing her mascara, "Getting a bargain!"...she's very moved by the power of shoes. Her mother looks like her, too, so that' their common-ness.
