"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Maynes Family Easter Egg Hunt.....whether you want to see them or not :)


Every year Nate's family does a little family get together for Easter and the kids get to do a huge egg hunt. This is a big hit with our kids and cannot be missed :) This year it was the day before Easter, and we were at a park. The eggs were all "hidden" ahead of time, so I just sat there in awe at how well the kids stayed away from the eggs while we waited for everyone to get there. They played all over the playground, but managed to leave the eggs untouched the ENTIRE time! And it was a while. Can you tell I was amazed? These are some good kids!

I hope it's okay that I post this picture....Nate's mom is THE CUTEST!!!! She is so fun! That is her on the swing next to Brad. She LOVES swings and never passes up the opportunity to go on one. Even back when she was having more trouble with her knees and her arthritis..... she's just so fun! My kids love that she does this so I wanted to be able to stick it in our book. What a cute grandma Ruthie we have!


Here's cute Liz! I canNOT believe how old this girl is getting! Everytime I see her I'm just surprised! She's a cutie. Charity and Kelly really love Liz. They're always happy to see her too.




Kyson was all ready and set for the "go"


Here are all the kids lined up listening to the instructions. SO many kids! And there are a ton missing even! (speaking of which....when are you moving back Beth????)
