Can't we just all get along?

             It would be so nice if our pets could live in harmony all the time..

More Easter pics

                          The Easter bunny dropped by and left baskets for the kids...do you see the chicken?  Remember how they drop the eggs out....I loved that one when I was a kid!
                                                The Easter Feast!
                            A perfectly smoked ham by Mitch :)
                        Marcus couldn't wait for the hunt!  All the eggs were full of money...mostly coins, but some $1 bills and $5 bills....it would have been a fight to the death over the cash, but I marked those so it would stay even...
                              Even Copper helped look for hidden eggs!
                       He seems rather serious in this shot, but the sun was bright..as you can see he is still sporting the goatee...for me :)
                                                 It was a nice Easter day!  :)

Easter Weekend

     I can't believe Heather and I have been working in our suite nearly 2 months already!  Time goes by so fast when you are having fun at work all the time...
        I made a fun little drink...diet sprite, cherry limeade (crystal light) and a splash of vodka...refreshing!
               Ok....after work on Saturday I got the kids all squared away to color eggs....lets just say it took me longer to get everything set up and ready than it took them to color the eggs...

                               What color is that?????   it was like a gold / brown camouflage



                          Lady and the Tramp moment :)   both of them slurping up a piece of spaghetti

This and that

                     Mackenzie got a gift card to Hobby Lobby for her birthday from Papa and Gma Katy.  She bought a Potters Wheel and made a bowl..she did pretty darn good for her first time.
                          Mitch and I went out on a "date night" for Heather's birthday. 
                            
                               Here's Uncle Max.  He came for a visit so him and Mitch could hit some Spring Training games.  They had a good time and got lots of autographs.  Here they are playing catch with a football with the kids.
                                             Future NFL Quarterback....

                    Not sure if she wants to throw the ball, or if she just caught the ball.
                   Midwestern students asked Mitch to grow a goatee for charity to help raise money for prostate cancer research...i like it and have asked him to keep it around.  He doesn't really care for it but has gotten a lot of compliments on it.  oh and ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!!!!! GO KU!!!!
