More Pics from our WEEKEND in MO!!!

We tried something new with the easter bird this year....
A DEEP FRIED TURKEY!!! Here is Papa getting ready to submerge the bird into the boiling oil!!! Brad and papa took the utmost care in keeping an eyeful watch on the bird as it cooked in the frier for just over an hour. the redneck way to do this is to set up the frier in the garrage, with two camping chairs side by each where the men could sit and watch...every so oftern if the women were feeling up to it they would bring the men a fresh beer. Afterall, it is very strenous watching the bird cook...

...And the bird is going in:

And we all make the final preperations so that we may now enjoy our easter feast!!!




EASTER WEEKEND IN MISSOURI!!!

We went to visit mama and papa Light this year for the easter weekend...and my birthday also happened to fall on this weekend!!! Very exciting. Our trip was great, but way too short :(

Brad emailed the easter bunny to let him know that we would not be home this year and where we could be found if we were lucky enough to make the easter bunny's GOOD BOOKS this year (which we were)...

Here is the picture of the Easter bunny (he is about the size of my palm) who was found in the garage and then later made a little nest under the front step:


Here is a pic of Mama and Papa Light AND Brad and Myself...oh, and of course SWEET PEA who is also there with us, but will remain camera shy for another 3 months. This photo was taken at the Cresent hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas:

Great Grandma Leila Pearl Frazier (Mama Light's Grandma)

Leila Pearl Frazier (January 2, 1916 - March 28, 2007)
VIDEO TRIBUTE
Leila Pearl (Leonard) Frazier, 91, of Calhan, Colorado passed away at Cottonwood Ridge Assisted Living Care Center with her family by her side on March 28, 2007.
Leila was born on January 2, 1916 in Strang, Nebraska to Harvey and Jessie (Mullikin) Leonard. She was the fourth child of twelve children. Leila graduated from Sugar City High School in 1933, after attending grade school in Edison.
Leila married Cecil Frazier in Las Animas, Colorado on March 16, 1935 and they were blessed with eight children. The couple lived in Delta, Colorado from 1973 – 1994.
Leila loved her family very much, especially her grandchildren, great grandchildren and her great-great grandchildren. She enjoyed many things, especially watching family members in their sporting events, playing card games, dominoes, and yahtzee. But, her real passion was quilting. In fact, that was one of her many contributions to the Calhan United Methodist Church, where she was an active member since 1994.
Leila was preceded in death by her parents; husband Cecil; her son Douglas, a granddaughter Karrie Frazier, great granddaughters Malea Kritine Frazier, and LaKota Lyn Wilson, her sister Ida Green Sterrett, her brothers: Marion Leonard, Roy Leonard, George Leonard, Richard (Dick) Leonard and Warren Leonard.
Leila is survived by seven of her children: Melvin and his wife Betsey of Delta, Colorado, Leonard and his wife Martha of Rush, CO; Evelyn and her husband Dale Gotschall of Calhan, CO; Jerald and his wife Nelda of Guymon, OK; Jesse and his wife Dana of Fowler, CO; Patt and her husband Don Bromley of Aurora, CO; and Clint and his wife Zorene of Colorado Springs, CO.
Leila is also survived by four sisters: Kathleen Lister of Loveland, CO; Velma McDonald of Rocky Ford, CO; Verna Sorenson of Colorado Springs, CO; and Jeanne and her husband Kenneth Mays of Olney Springs, CO.
Leila is also survived by twenty-five grandchildren, thirty-four great grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren.
Visitation was held on Friday, March 30, 2007 from 6-8 at the Love Funeral Home in Limon, CO.
Leila’s funeral service was held on Saturday, March 31, 2007 at 2:00 P.M. at Living Word Community Church located at 532 Colorado Avenue, Calhan, CO.
