Easter Pics

This outfit brought to you by one very awesome Grandma, aka "Nammy".

And this one...

Easter was fun this year. I took JB to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. On the way there I talked up our furry egg hiding friend so much Juno couldn't wait to meet him. I mean, who wouldn't right? All that fluffiness hopping around your backyard, hiding eggs you decorated and then leaving giant baskets of candy behind to replace the next mornings breakfast?! What could be better?

Unfortunetly the bug didn't share my excitement once he layed eyes on the 7 foot tall (ears included) cartoon eyed giant they were calling a bunny. Poor kids. They get put through this torture every year. Even Ry didn't understand why I was going to the mall of all places and pay someone rediculous amounts of money for 4 wallet sized pictures that I could have taken myself. And done a better job might I add!

As I explained to the hubby, I go through all this because my parents did it with me. I have like 7 consecutive years of Easter Bunny and Santa photos. I bet my mom complained about the exact same things as she forked over her $4.50 in exchange for the blurry polaroid of her tramatized toddler.

Still, I think it's time for a change. I think I'll be taking these photos from now on. It's time to stop complaining and do something about it! Time to send a message to those mall fonies and say Enough Is Enough!!!

...Ryan is going to look so good in Bunny ears.. heehee.

Flower Power

It has been amazing here the past few weeks. Flowers don't seem to die off as quickly as I'm used to, and the trees are no exception. I wish I could have every single flowering tree I've seen here in my own front yard.

Today the bug and I went out on assignment to find and photograph some of the wonderfulness that has bloomed up here in the great North West.


This building to the left is a fresh produce market that I have been searching for for two months. It's actually a house located on a small residential street. I have yet to shop there, I just feel better now that I know I can have fresh strawberries.

This pink flowering tree is EVERYWHERE! You'll probably see more of this tree in these pictures. They are insane! So beautiful!



This picture hardly gives these tulips justice. The bloom is as big as my fist.










And here is my latest contribution to the flowers here in good ol Eugene. Purple and Yellow Pansies. Gotta represent our Lakers/LSU Tigers! haha.
Also got some strawberries, Blueberries and white Impatients. I'll take pictures of those once they flower.

It is so nice to drive around the town with the windows down and that warm breeze blowing past you. The sun is out and all these trees and flowers put a smile on your face. Everything is clean and there for a reason and we're not crushing every living thing with buildings and parking lots and apartments.

It's nice.
