Happy Easter!!!

We had a great Easter this year. The early Church service was wonderful. The rest of our day was filled with play, play, play! Sailor blew bubbles, drew pictures with sidewalk chalk, drank some bubbles, shot basketball, chewed on the bubbles, threw soft ball, licked the bubbles, played in the sand, spilled the bubbles and hunted Easter eggs! She loves bubbles but doesn't have the whole concept down yet!

Thanks Easter Bunny!

Walking with daddy!

Found one!

No fair...
That's too high!

Peyton made the final count

I think Sailor won, she had a whole basket full!

Happy Birthday Ba! a.k.a Pate!

April 8 was Peyton's 14th birthday. It is so hard for me to believe Peyton is 14. I am so proud of him, he is such a good kid. I can not say it enough how lucky Sailor is to have her two big cousins. Peyton is so good to her and is always there to make her laugh! Happy Birthday Pate! We love you very much, Nikki, Joe and Sailor.

Happy birthday Eli and Noah!

This has been a month of Birthday's so far! Several weeks ago we got to attend some great birthday parties! Sailor's friends Eli and Noah were born on the same day and just celebrated their 1st birthday. We had a great time at both parties. Can't wait for many more!

It's a!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No names yet except, Bobby, picked by Sailor! She could be saying, BABY, but she has clarified by pointing to Bobby in the name book several times! I'm not so sure that one will stick!

Weekend at the Beach!

As you may have read from a previous post, my grandparents are selling their Florida home. Lucky for us the slow housing market has allowed us to enjoy at least one last weekend. For now the house is for sale but no buyers just yet. Nana, Pam and Vicki were taking their annual spring break trip and Joe and I ran across an awesome deal on airline tickets. $15 one way...I recommend allegiant air. They do have some additional fees but if you can pack light I don't think you will beat the price. We were able to enjoy 3 days of fun in the sun, relaxing on the beach one of my very favorite places to be.

Philippi Creek oyster bar, our favorite restaurant!



Flying Elmo, thanks for sending the kite with us Granny!

Hunting for sharks teeth!

Nokomis Jetty, the best place to watch the sun set!

Dolphins at the Jetty!

Happy Birthday Aunt Heather!!

Thursday night, March, 12th, our family celebrated Heather's birthday. I mentioned to Joe on the way to Los Primos that Heather was brave to pick a Mexican restaurant on her birthday...Well she had evidently never celebrated a birthday or witnessed a birthday celebration there before. Needless to say she was really shocked when the band came playing and the waitress reached around her with a big scoop of Whip Cream!!! I would say she will pick a meal at home next year like Bruce did! We had a really good time and everyone got a little of the dessert!

What a nice weekend!

Spring Fever!!! Sailor helped Joe with a little yard work on Saturday afternoon. During the process we learned a good way to help Sailor go to sleep. We have warned the neighbors if they hear the lawn mower after dark, don't be alarmed...She drifted off just a few minutes after getting on the mower with Joe. We had been outside playing all day, swinging, playing in the sand and sliding as well as running around chasing Beamer. She crashed for a long 2 hour nap after the lawn mower ride.

We took advantage of another nice afternoon today. Sailor got to go hiking at our lake property for the first time. Sorry no pictures, I really have to do better with the camera. We ended our weekend with a birthday celebration for Uncle Bruce...the big 44! Again no pictures but we had a great time, Happy Birthday and good luck with baseball!
