{Happy Resurrection Day}

Hello to all on this wonderful Resurrection Sunday. Our family surely enjoyed a wonderful time of praise and worship this morning at church and then home to a great lunch. We then gathered with other family and had our annual Conner Egg hunt. We gathered just in the nick of time too as the bottom fell out with rain. But, at least it held off so the kids could hunt eggs.  

We gather together at my father-in-law's home for all that can come and the kids have such a great time together. We always hide two prize eggs. One for the younger age children and one for the older children. This year the younger child found $15. The older one found $30. Dang, I think next year I might get in on the annual egg hunt. LOL! 

Our sweet Annaleigh was so excited to find an egg. 

This isn't the best picture by any means as it was so bright but it's my family and I give praise for each and every one of them. We are a very close family and we all worship together at the same church and well, what more could a mama and nana ask for right?

Marty and I decided that instead of pastel colors we would wear purple for the royalty of King Jesus and red for the blood that He shed on Calvary. I got the Holy bumps typing these words y'all. To think that someone loved me so much that He would give His life for me is more than I can fathom. He is indeed alive and lives in my heart. 

We also celebrated our oldest grandchild's 18th birthday today. Raygen was the first to call us Papa and Nana. We are so very proud of the wonderful young woman that she is.

She wanted homemade vanilla cake with buttercream icing with strawberries and blueberries so that's what she got. Yes, the icing was too heavy and began to sag but it didn't affect the taste! YUM!

I shared with you all that our granddaughter Mallory plays soft ball and that her team was going to championship game. Well, they won! They were undefeated this season. She plays center field and alternates at times as catcher. She is quite a good little ball player.

Her fan club was there to cheer her and the team on. 

I made some shower melts last week. They smell sooooo good!

I made lavender with Vitamin E. You simply drop one near the drain of your shower and the aroma is wonderful. I gave my daughters one and gave several as little gifts. 

I also tried my hand at bath bombs. Well, now that's another story! I had heard that humidity makes a huge difference in how they turn out and I had several tell me they were a nightmare to make. Let me tell you...I had a huge epic fail. NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE but about FIVE TIMES!!! Either I had them too wet, too dry or too something. I finally QUIT. But, I hate being whipped and decided to once more put my big girl panties on and go for it. I watched several videos and finally.....

I made enough for my 5 granddaughters to each have one and I kept one for ME! They still wasn't exactly like I would have liked for them to be but...persistence paid off I guess. 

I hope that you all have a wonderful week and thank you for allowing me to share my life with you. I think I have the sweetest blogging friends ever!
