Spring

I snapped a few pictures of my little loves after church last week.  Here they are!

 

Henry Christopher- 3 1/2 years old

Caroline Jean- 19 months

Spring Break

We spent Spring Break in West Palm Beach, Florida with my entire family.  We had wonderful weather and a great time.  It was so fun to watch the kids swim in the pool, jump in the waves, dig in the sand, and run through the splash pad.  It was a fabulous week relaxing and spending time with family!

 

The boys in the pool.

Papa and Caroline in the pool.  She loved the water this year!

Out for a morning walk with these 3.

Ready for the Easter egg hunt- it was rather cut-throat! 

Cousins in the ocean!

One of the boys very favorite things to do is head to the marina and feed the fish. 

Sandy, tired, and thirsty.

Watch out girls!

Henry and Caroline headed to the beach.

Love them so very much!

The kids spent over an hour one morning washing and sorting shells.  It was so cute to listen to them!

Henry has been talking for a month about burying Papa

Caroline could not figure it out :)

The boys went out fishing one morning.

Another catch!

We celebrated my birthday at the Cheesecake Factory.  It was so fun to celebrate with everyone!

Uncle Trevor ordered a burrito that was enormous.  Tommy declared it to be "man vs. food" and promised Uncle Trevor $1 if he could eat the entire thing.  Here is Tommy handing over the $1!  (Uncle Trevor couldn't eat much for the next 24 hours he was so stuffed!)

The kids loved doing the kids club crafts each morning.

One last trip to the marina to feed the fish!

 

Palm Sunday (Easter Celebrations!)

Since we were gone over Easter we celebrated together on Palm Sunday.  Saturday night the boys did Easter eggs together.  It was fun to watch- Tommy took his time and worked very carefully and Henry was in it for quantity over quality :)  The Easter Bunny came to our house that night and left baskets for the kids and then after church we headed to my parents' house for the annual egg hunt!  My mom always hides hundreds of eggs in her yard and my kids love it.  It's a day that they look forward to each year and this year was just as fun as they had hoped it would be!  We had a great early Easter! 

 

I think that Henry summed up the holiday best when he said (completely unprompted), "Jesus died on the cross for mine sins because He loves me so much."

Sunday morning- all caught up in the excitement with her crazy morning hair!

Henry checking out his basket.

Henry is going through an obnoxious phase with pictures lately.  I have tons of pictures similar to the one above.  Oh well, I guess it is just what our lives look like right now :)  Here are my 3 babies before church.

The great-grandkids ready to hunt!  Tommy (7), Caroline (19 months), Henry (3), Andrew (16 months), and Ella (3).

Success!
