Photo Friday (Easter Fun)!

"The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. He delights in every detail of their lives." ~Psalm 37:23

I've always loved the phrasing of that in the NLT - "He delights in every detail!" I'm such a details girl, and that's part of why I love taking pictures and having a record of the delightful fun things and quiet beautiful moments that make me so happy. Candids are my favorite, then posed candids, then fully posed shots. I got several great candids this Easter weekend, so that's today's "Photo Friday!"

Kyndal Faith not-so-gently throwing her egg into the dye - I love that you can see the color splashing out! 

Babah's traditional Easter Bunny cake!

Eileen's Sugar cookies from JoBug!

J&K admiring their colorful Easter eggs. (Rach made Kyndal's hair bow - so cute; right!?)

Josh skateboarding over from the Parrish house! I had no idea they had a skateboard. I'm so glad I already had the camera out to capture this moment before the high five! :)

Not even a posed candid - just a natural shot that I love... T-man chillin out in the golf cart, needing some introvert time while the rest of the guys were out back. I so get that. :)

Jaceman on the swing laughing at Grandad and Josh and Carter... precious!

T&C on the swings, trying to time it right for me to get a jumping pic of them together... (no such luck.)

J&T on the lookout point in the fort... it was so pretty and picturesque outside that day! I even love the big tree behind them in this.

Jaceman taking a break on his dad's skateboard.

Kyndal Faith excited to see her Momma walking over!

The jumping pics of T and C... then J braving the drop down from the monkey bars, K-Faith blowing her happy pink bubbles, and Carterman swinging as high as he can! Ahhh, childhood! :)

Silly pics with the kids (they're always so happy to pose for those!) I SO love that the boys are all being crazy while Kyndal is checking out the flowers. :)

"Looook!" -Miss K excited about finding a Hershey's Kiss in her egg!

Dividing up all the candy... another great candid shot that I didn't have to arrange or pose at all!

Posed Parrish fam pic (minus Joshua) that turned out pretty well! :)

Carter's ninja moves on the monkey bars!

Missy K so proud of herself as she climbed up the ladder.

A great candid shot of Jaceman waiting his turn for the monkey bars... my niece and nephews are seriously adorable!

T-man and Carter are already impressively strong!

Rach and Josh on Easter Sunday!

The boys holding Kyndal Faith, who was shielding her eyes from the sun and refused to smile, but still a great pic!

T-man is so great with Kyndal, and she loves her big brother! :) I love how excited she is here. And her boots, and her shirt, and her bow, and her smile.. I love all of that too! lol

Parrish Fam, Easter 2016.

Jaceman For Sale! lol

Carter Lee was in a posing mood that cracked me up!

Josh and Rach on Saturday

Josh skateboarding behind the boys as T-man drove the golf cart home! (Jace looking back to see Mamaw.)

Jace running over to chat it up with Bob Rutherford (my parents' neighbor and our former pastor) who was on his way to the golf course! lol

Kyndal Faith getting some help from Bampa! :)

A precious pic of Dad and Jaceman. (J had fallen off the monkey bars a few days back and Dad had to talk him into having the courage to try again... he was so proud of himself when he finally did it!) :)

Reagan watching from the backyard!

Emma helping Miss K get the Easter egg out!

One of Rach's latest wreaths - so fun!!

Jaceman excited to show Mamaw the eggs and candy he found! :)

Nervous... nervous... nervous... TRIUMPH! lol :)

A final Easter Sunday pic where we told them to just be silly! lol

Rach scared me a little with this text... but no, they didn't get a bunny. The new aquarium in their living room is enough for now! lol  Brooke got one and brought it over when she was picking up T&C. =)

So happy!! lol I adore her.

In other pet-related news, Bellsy-butt got a new Boo-style haircut, and it's cracking me up every time I look at her!! :) ...Sammers was already 4+ pounds bigger, and now the size difference is just absurd!

Who couldn't love this little fluffy face!?

She loves to sit with me while I watch TV at night - so cute!! :) I now have a set of PJs that I play with them in, then change into another set to go to bed. Definitely allergic... sadness!

That's all I've got for today!  Something a little lighter and brighter (and fluffier) after my deeper posts.  Hope you've had a fantastic week, and enjoy the weekend ahead!! =) (*Sidenote: Happy April 1st and April Fool's Day! If you read this early, hopefully it'll remind you not to fall for any big announcements that are bound to be all over Facebook.)

"How great is the goodness You have stored up for those who fear You. You lavish it on those who come to You for protection, blessing them before the watching world."  ~Psalm 31:19
