A child jumping in ocean waves

This is the release an adult craves

With nowhere to go and nowhere to be

In that space for hours, sets his soul free 

Take the time, recall a childhood thought

Take a moment, forget all that you want

Peace fills his heart, he's settled contently

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

Take the time to revel in PURE SIMPLICITY.

The Coston's New Home

We are so happy that our uncle's have found a place to finally call HOME. 

 We are looking forward to all of the fun get togethers they plan to have!!!

And of course all of the home improvement projects will be a blast to help with!

YAY FOR FIRST TIME HOME OWNERSHIP!!!!

4/24/11 Easter Sunday

Out on the front lawn of our Pine Branches Home.

What a wonderful day Easter Sunday is.  The day our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

 This day brings back fond memories as a child growing up in the Episcopal church.  There were traditions that we could depend on year after year.  And I bring as many of those traditions to our home & LDS church going experience as I possibly can.  

We had a wonderful Easter feast planned.  Yummy fried chicken, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas, salad, homemade turbinado strawberry short cake with homemade whipped cream, and on and on, until we were all stuffed.

While dinner was cooking and "making it's self", our family and guests played together and had an Easter egg hunt.  Yep even the grown ups played.

Paps learning about the Nerf gun.

Egg hunting.

I have hidden the eggs in my basket.

 
Our guests included Paps, Uncle Alex & Uncle Jeremy, and Samantha & Chantel.

The older children were spun around, while the younger ones got a 5 second head start!

Shhhh!  Uncle Alex hid an egg.

4/22/11 Easter Fun at NaNa's home...more pics

He could not look at the camera AT ALL when he was dying Easter eggs.

4/22/11 Easter Fun at NaNa's home...

We always enjoy our time with our NaNa.  It never fails-NaNa always has something fun planned, no matter if it is a special occasion, like Easter

 or another day at her house just for a casual visit. 

On Good Friday, we went to NaNa's house to dye eggs, eat yummy food, hunt for Easter eggs, & enjoy the company of good friends and family.
