A FEW POST-EASTER PICS---POST

We were lucky enough
to spend 
EASTER WEEKEND
with my daughter, Mimi and her sweet family.
MyHero took at least 75 pictures.
This was the closest he came to having
EVERYONE LOOK AT THE CAMERA 
and smile.
As you can see-
3 out of 5 made eye contact although
BigBoyE does not look too happy...
You know how there are bloopers?
We have at least FIFTY of pictures like this.
The kid in the dress is the goofball
that mugged for the camera.
I also have one picture
of three of my sweet grandgirls-
Look how big they are getting--
and SweetCheeks has glasses!


And their Mom, Tara---still beautiful---
shown here with her brother-
our youngest son...
fondly known as "Mama'sBoy"...
And here is his little guy..
flying off to see
Jack Sparrow @ Pirates of the Caribbean...
He was pretty excited when the
Captain asked him up to the front cabin
and let him sit in the pilot's seat.
No pictures of my oldest son
or his family.
Like me- he hates having his picture taken
so I only get pictures when his wife
shares them with me-lol....

 For those of you brats that always ask
WHERE IS YOUR PICTURE
I say HERE YOU GO!
Next time I will brush my hair first....

 Hope you all had a blessed Easter
and now we can move towards
Mother's Day!

 This mama is off to the VA this morning
to mother a few veterans!

 Have a wonderful Tuesday!

    I love family pictures even the ones that aren't perfect! All your grandchildren are adorable! Glad you had a chance to visit with them. I know how it is to have to travel so far just to have a get together. I think this is the first time you mentioned Hubby traveling with you to visit. He's looking good!

    Lovely pictures, Diana! I love group shots, but it's so hard to get everyone cooperating. I'm glad you included a picture of the three girls so we can see how they've grown. -Jenn

    Wonderful, beautiful and excellent photos! I used to not want my picture taken until I realized how much pleasure it gave others to take my picture. Now I just think of them and not worry about how I look. Seems you had a simply wonderful day and I'm so glad you got to see your family and your grands. Especially the one in the dress who kept messing up the pictures. (ha, ha). Have fun with those boys at the VA Hospital.

    Wonderful family pictures, Diana, and little miss SweetCheeks has glasses! It was good to see her again.....and great to see a pic of you too. It's nice to see our blog friend's faces once in awhile. But I'm like you, and it happens only once in awhile. : )

    Thanks for sharing these photos, Diana. It's so great to see pictures of your lovely family. You look great! And your beautiful daughter is the spitting image of you (do you ever wonder where the term "spitting image" came from?). Your grands are so cute. Love the little mugger. She's a little charmer, for sure. xo

    I love these pics! Mimi is so beautiful and her family is just gorgeous! I love her cardigan too. I've pretty much become addicted to buying cardigans. Lol. I have one in almost every color and I wear one over my outfit pretty much every time I go somewhere. They just seem to "dress up" any outfit. :) And we even got to see a picture of you! Gorgeous! You have such a beautiful family. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

    Lovey family, lovely pictures....This was a year of NO pictures, as the family was scattered...Inlaws, and outlaws, and me and Dad. Did spend a few hours with oldest daughter and her husband's side of the family. The Torres Clan...and clad it is..but nice time. Miss being the one to fix Easter Dinner all those years we were in the Church of North...kids came from wherever to spend it together.
    Please pray for my dearest, as we make another quick trip this weekend up North where he will do the funeral service for another dear friend who is celebrating Heaven.

Oh the laughs that might have turned to tears, I can just imagine, lol! You looked absolutely radiant and stunning Diana! And so good to see John smiling too, and looking so well... so thankful you all enjoyed such a lovely time together!
