Easter and a few more projects

We had a really nice and fairly quiet Easter weekend.  Long weekends don't really change much for us since Wyatt isn't in school and we still have cows to milk twice a day every day.  On Sunday the grandkids met up at Granny and Pa's as the Easter bunny had arrived and left eggs all over the yard.  And for an Easter miracle, the three cousins posed for a photo SO nicely.  I noticed in the photo that for the first time ever Wyatt is the same height as his cousin Alex who is 5 months older than him.  But, I suspect that won't be for long as she will probably have a growth spurt soon.




While the whole Easter egg hunt was going on, Tom's youngest brother Brock decided he needed for whatever reason to jump on the trampoline.   The whole time his Dad is yelling at him that he is going to get hurt, to stop etc.  He had bad ankles and a bad back from sports injuries, so fair enough.  But being 17 and being Brock, he kept going trying to see how high he can go.  Suddenly on one of his bounces, the trampoline (which is probably about 20 years old - it was my sister in laws when she was a kid) breaks at its seam, springs fly everywhere and Brock tumbles to the ground in a pile.   Thank goodness he didn't get hurt, but he got a few "I told you so's" from his Dad and a whole lot of laughs from the rest of us.  Since I had my camera and was right there of course I had to snap a few photos and can already see a scrapbook page of them.  He won't be living this one down for a while!



And for a couple of crafty things, here is a page I did with Making Memories Valentines paper from The Paper Crate.  I also got a Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine for my birthday and was playing around with my scalloped circle Nestabilies (dies) and made a couple of cute cards.  I haven't done too much with it yet, but am looking forward to playing around more.
