It has been a tradition in my family to spend Easter at the Cemetery where my younger brother, Grayson was buried. It's a great place to hide eggs, but somehow we never end up finding all of the eggs that were hidden. The kids really love it there, they can just run around and play for hours while the grown up's get some much needed bonding time. It's also nice for them to learn about their Uncle Grayson who they never had the chance to meet. Swayzie is at the age now where she loves to hear stories about him, he was quite the mischievous little boy so she enjoys all of the details. We didn't want the day to end there, so after the cemetery we went over to Grandma Read's house to eat dinner. She had a yummy feast prepared; ham, potatoes, rolls, salad and yummy angel food cake to finish it off!! Easter has always been one of my favorite Holidays, It's so nice to just be with family!! We are so blessed to have two great families that we love to spend time with!!

What a special tradition. I totally remember your little brother. Boy was he such a cutie pie! I'm glad you guys had a great Easter.
How fun! I love that you still go there every year and hide eggs there. :) Your header pictures is amazingly adorable!
I am being a slacker. my camera connection to the computer broke so I have to go done make a cd and then put them on so I am lazy. What is your email and I will send you all the info on swimming. WHEN can we get together before baby? and do you need help? can we bring dinner after she comes? Let me know.

Thats crazy, we were at the cemetery that same day. Nicks dad is buried there and we try to go every year. It's been forever since I've been to see Grayson's head stone, I tried looking but couldn't find it, too bad we missed each other!!
Hey! I am so glad you found me! Yes you are right, we certainly do need to bbq! And you are pregnant too! Congrats! I think I remember that from a very long time ago, but then again, it's been a very long time since I have seen you all. So lets do something about that. We are having a little girl, Ryah Lynn Frost. I am so excited! And your kids are all beautiful and big! Hudson is so big! Crazy. Lets plan a BBQ at a park or someplace outside before it gets too hot, its so nice right now, and we can see if Joe and Ash want to join us, then all the little ones can run around and all the big ones can too! =)
