Our Easter Weekend...In Pics



Hi, y'all! I hope every one of you had a faboosh Easter weekend. I'd tell you sentence by sentence about what we did, but that's far more labor-intensive to take in than simple pics and captions, right?

Not that y'all are simple-minded, but I'm aware that it's Monday and this particular weekday requires simplicity. At least for this girl, anyway.


Stephen and I took our first ride on the boat for the 2012 season. This excited us to no end because this year, we broke down and forked over the extra dough for a boat slip in the marina. This means I no longer have to help him haul that stinkin' 4,000 lb. thing on and off a ramp, which usually ends with me getting sweaty and moody before we've even left the dock.


Sidenote: If you've never seen 5'4", 110 lb. blonde guiding a massive truck and boat trailer down a ramp, you've never experienced true comedy.


Thankfully, this year, all we do is start 'er up and back 'er out. Easy peasy. 

Boat Slips: Saving marriages one ride at a time.

Stephen was so disappointed to be on the lake for the evening. Can't you tell?

Quite a view, huh? The only thing we were missing was some vino...
Happy and somewhat red-looking (thanks to some weird Instagram filter) girl on the lake!



Easter Sunday, we had some time to piddle around and take pics before church. This rarely happens, us running on time for church, so it needed to be documented. (To be fair, it is usually a fiasco with my hair and it's poofage that renders us being tardy for the Methodist-Church-party.)


 Entire outfit via Francesca's Collections. Except for the shoes, which are permanently sewn on to my feet. Those are from Tar-jay.


Stephen winces every time I suggest we should take pics...he knows that by "a few photos", I mean a full-blown photo shoot. But my husband, being the good and patient (patient only with me) man that he is, always obliges and smiles and looks ever so handsome.

And because I was having a good hair day, (those are few and far between and MUST be recorded on the iPhone accordingly).



And finally, I'll leave you with some real cuteness. One of our little nephews, Luke. He lives in St. Louis with Greg and Kelsey, (Stephen's brother and brother's wife), and his smile is infectious. They sent this over via text before church yesterday. He was wearing his Easter pants and goin' to town on his rocking horse. 


We should all live with this much joy.


Be blessed, lovelies-

  5. Love all the pics! So funny what you said about the boat, we actually sold ours last year because I didn't wanna spend the extra money on a slip rental. They are EXPENSIVE! and the 2x's I did go out last year I got seasick and refused to go again. It sucks because my favorite place to be is on the water! Nice to see you had a great weekend though xo

  6. A boat ride...positively dreamy. Looks like so much fun. Love your easter outfit. Sadly I have a pair of great tan pumps that I bought a year ago and I have not even worn them. Shame on me.

  8. What a fun weekend! Yes, your hair looks amazing!!! I have the same problem with my husband and his boat...only I actually damaged the trailer for the boat and scratched his bumper trying to back it out of the parking spot to get to the ramp at the end of the day....not such a good thing! Yay for boat slips!!
