Easter

Easter wouldn't be complete with out...
Easter pjs from Grandma Gourley.

Coloring easter eggs. Alex had dyed hands for a few days.

Matching Easter outfits. My friend Emma made them and I love them! Thanks Emma!

Easter egg hunts. Clara just loved the basket.

Sammy was very successful.

Alex just followed others, so didn't get many eggs. But still had fun.

Spring Break Highlights

We had a great Spring Break at home exploring our still "new" home.
We went to the Sea Aquarium in Miami. We saw a sea lion show, "flipper" the dolphin show, & a killer whale. A long with many huge turtles, aligators, sharks, & fish. We had so much fun we got season passes.

George took off a day and went with us to Butterfly World. Sammy had the most fun trying to get butterflies to land on her and identifying them in the book.

It was hard for Alex to hold still enough to catch one, but he finally did!

Sammy was excited to feed the birds some nectar. She said they hurt a little, but she loves all animals.

Alex on the other hand hated it...if you couldn't tell from the picture!

Spring Break wouldn't be complete without a trip to the beach. We went with our great friends the Buhlers. They have 4 boys and Alex fits right in. Thanks Buhlers for playing with us!

A Little Fun in March...

Just some of the fun things we have done in March.

Clara loves to be big or at least think she is. These are 3-D glasses from the movie "Monsters vs. Aliens". I went with Sammy & Alex for a birthday party. It was a blast!

Sammy is my big helper these days. She helped plant the flowers in the pot & does about anything else she is asked to do. I don't know what I would do without her!

Alex LOVES to play cars. Every day he begs me to play with him. This morning we set up every single car he owns. Pretty cool!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Elene (George's mom) always sends us the best holiday packages including the seasonal shirt! I just love the kids in green! We are so lucky to have her for a grandma!
