Texas State Flowers

We stopped on the way home from church to snap a few bluebonnet pictures, which are obligatory in Texas.

Bluebonnets

My four favorite flowers:  Lois, Rachel, Julia & Hannah.   There was a recent, clear indentation in this patch of bluebonnets, so the girls were happy to plop down in it. Hannah kept encouraging Julia to “sit down first and check for snakes.”

Photobucket

Julia and Rachel have an entire series of  “Youngest-Oldest” photos.

Hannah may be 14, but she still reminded me to tell the Easter Bunny that’s she’s gotten a hollow white chocolate bunny every Easter and 2010 better be no exception.  It wasn’t.

Photobucket

I got no other pictures of Lois, because she hastened to obey Keith’s shouts of “Hurry up!”  We might have climbed through barbed wire into a field to take these pictures.  We might have ignored this sign.  We might have pulled away as a police car drove by.

And we might be having a very happy Easter.

Hope you are, too!

  • Great pictures! Glad you didn’t get arrested! =)

    Happy Easter!

  • Dad:

    Lois and I should have left y’all.

  • Konen:

    Great photos. The girls (and the blubonnets) look lovely. And apparently there were no snakes.

  • Lisa H:

    In addition to snakes, it’s also a good idea to check for cow pies! Recent indentation in the grass…heifer-shaped?

  • "Auntie" Jean:

    Wonderful Easter! How beautiful are your four “flowers.”

  • kate:

    So pretty! (And the flowers are nice, too.)

    (Hey, Bex–your server NEVER wants to let me leave a comment. What gives?)

    I appreciate Keith’s correct apostrophizing of “Y’all”. While I am a yankee (I learned that means not, a northerner, as I’d thought all my life, but rather a non-southerner. So I’m a Colorado yankee.) I fought MANY battles over where to place the apostrophe. I think, as a contraction for you all, it replaces the ou. Ya’ll drives me crazy! What IS that? Ya all? No. At least punctuate correctly.

    Thanks, Keith. You made my night.

  • Shels:

    My kind of Easter – break the law and eat white chocolate!

  • Clyde Tigner:

    I like the photos. Julia just seems to fit right in. She looks like she was born to be with you all. I am glad you had a happy Easter!! We did here as well!!

  • What great bluebonnet pics! Love them =)

    We decided to use All God’s Children International and they’ve been really great! There are SO many reasons we decided to go with them and I plan on writing a post about that as well because so many people have asked how we chose and agency!

    Thanks for all you input =)
