It was a fun day spent at my sister in law, Dawn’s house. The Gary’s are big on pocking eggs. I never heard of it until I entered into the Gary family. If you are unfamiliar with this pocking thing, everyone has their own stash of eggs, dyed and decorated…

Eggs for Pocking

then you take either the skinny end or fat end and hit them together with anyone else who has eggs. Whoevers egg breaks, looses and looses their egg to the stronger egg. The winner keeps both eggs. It looks something like this…

my girls pocking

My family came home with a few more eggs than we went there with = VICTORY!!

There was also an egg hunt for the little ones. My girls are still not very interested in this egg hunt thing. They don’t quite understand it and were slow getting eggs, Uncle Jared had to help out and give them a few hints. Cassidy and Jaci racked up!!

Also, here are a few pics of egg dying at our house

I met Jaime just before my sophomore year in high school, probably in the summertime when we started practicing volleyball. She was a freshman who made the team, but man, what I remember most about her was her attitude. It's not so much that she had a bad attitude, it was that she always had a scowl on her face. I didn't like her. She didn’t talk much and didn’t smile. And she was dating one of the hottest seniors. How dare her? Anyway, one day she didn't have a ride home from volleyball practice.
