Easters

Easters.  If you don't know why there is an 's' on the end of Easter, GO watch Nacho Libre...

anyway, as you may or may not have noticed, I am behind.  WAY behind.  Allow me to get caught up.

Rewind to three weeks ago, April 12, my sister's birthday!!!  Jordan & I flew to Dallas where we then went our separate ways, him to Florida for a convention & me to Mesa to help the birthday girl.

Bethany needed help.  She was 8 months pregnant,

moving into a new house that was a foreclosure and in need of a lot of work.  Since I am the designated painter in the family & I fly free, I was happy to do my part.  Jordan joined me there Easter weekend so we could participate in the celebration of a very happy couple, Jordan's little brother Stephen & his new wife, Ginny.

Their reception was fabulous,

 her dress was gorgeous, & we were so happy we could see them be sealed for time and all eternity.

 Easter consisted of going to church, Deviled Eggs,

 Grilled Salmon, Lemon Passion Cake,

& an  Easter Egg Hunt!!!

First the littles get a head start...

then their older BIGGER siblings join them.

When the hunt was completed, consuming the candy began.  Oh, & Uncle Ben looking around for generous little hands.

I did many other things while visiting Mesa, not all were captured on film. 

We dined at a yummy Thai place in Gilbert with Jordan's siblings...twice!

Jordan & I saw

which was, eh.

I got a pedicure.

I had a girls night with my mom & Beth.  {A much needed break from all the painting!}

We saw

which I really liked.

Mostly I painted, but I will put the three weeks of slavedom in a separate blog post {mostly for you, Elyce ;) }.

It was wonderful to see all of our loved ones.

 Until next time...
