one more Easter picture

The eastern and midwestern part of the family on Easter at Ellsworth.

Blueberries for Sal

More spring break fun, blueberry picking.
Adam mostly ate not picked. I am not even sure if that is a blueberry. It look a lot like dirt.
Stuffed and happy.
Worker #1
Worker #2
Worker #3
The bountiful harvest.
All went to good use in blueberry pie, muffins and just snacking.

All of Grace

More of my beautiful, little Grace on her birthday.
Grace is a little momma. She loves carrying around babies and blankets and spends most of her day mothering Adam.
She always wants to be the one to give him his sippy cup and food, will willingly fetch diapers and wipes, and climbs into his crib to snuggle with him. It definitely makes my life pretty easy.
More details about Grace. Green is her favorite color. Any book about babies she loves. The beach is her new favorite place. We love our Grace.










Sort of scary green cake.

Soft and Sweet


Even though I just posted this picture in my Easter post I though I would post it again for the soft and sweet picture challenge at iheartfaces. If you are wondering why Adam is no longer wearing a shirt it is because he decided to dye himself blue with Easter egg dye. I guess he didn't want to be left out of the festivities.

Grace is 3

I can hardly believe Grace turned 3.
More pictures to come later.

Easter Finery

Sunday morning at Ellsworth.
Grace loves her Easter gloves.
What little Eli thinks of Easter Finery.

Easter Part 1



We spent Easter weekend at the ranch I grew up on with Brother David and family, Brother John and family, Brother Dan and Papa. The cousins ran wild, I hope my sister in-law's house recovered.

David and Lynnie supervised the Easter egg dying.


I am so glad my love of orange has rubbed off on Merry.


Jacob pondering which came first the chicken or the egg.


Cousin Ike believes it was the chicken of course.


John explains to Dan the nature of eggs and why cows are better.


Enough about the eggs and chickens. Adam noticed the new little puppy in the yard. He was so excited and went toddling over as fast as his chubby legs would carry him. The little puppy was so excited to see him that it jumped on him and knocked him down and started licking his face. I think Adam could possibly dislike dogs the rest of his life.


He did find something more his size and less slobbery.


The kids all went for a ride so the Easter Bunny could come.



What kind of sick bunny would hide an egg on barbed wire?


The hunters all ready to go.


Merry takes the egg hunting very seriously.


Jacob takes the egg counting very seriously.


Grace and Elias comparing loot.


Grace approves.
