Daddy and me!

Aaron and Avery had a sweet little "Daddy and me" date a couple nights ago! They made popcorn, ate dinner in the mall and went to see the movie 'Kung fu Panda'. Aaron said that Avery intentionally laughed harder than the rest of the viewers, which added to his own excitement of being a clown! Avery proudly pulled out his ticket stub to show me when they walked into the door and told me it was "48 bucks"! (seems everything is 48 bucks these days). They had SO much fun!

The Aquarium

While we were visiting my family, we took a trip to the Aquarium. Avery had lots of fun chasing sea lions, antagonizing little crocs, and climbing up practically anything he could get a foot hold on. (they even had signs not to climb on the displays, I guess he didn't bother to read them) :)

Savannah enthusiastically chased the penguins back and forth and enjoyed many of the tanks between fits of fussing. They both snapped out of it when we had a bite of lunch and found a terrific park.

Aaron and I thought it was odd that one of the sign rules was "adults must be accompanied by children" We think we know why though.

Avery snapped this shot of Daddy. He has quite an eye for space and interest in a photograph! ;)

The Most Wonderful Day

After arriving at our quaint, peaceful beach today, we immediately agreed this was the best day we have had in our home town yet! My thoughts wandered from the busyness of our family to the serenity experienced on the sand. I breathed in the calmness and let myself relax. The kind of empty clearness you feel when you afford a moment of uncluttered time for your family. I felt as if I were in a painting with the multi-colored umbrellas and the children running carefree along the dunes. What a beautiful day indeed!

I am finished for now!

WOW! After just posting about 5 posts I am done for now! I will keep up better from now on! That was just a little too much for one day. We are all fantastic here. We are actually roasting RIGHT NOW and the summer has not even begun!! Aaron and a buddy went golfing and the kids are sound asleep. I am off for now! Love to all ya'll!!

Uncle Jon's Baseball Game

We met up with Papa, Grandma and Uncle Jon to watch him pitch at his game.

Uncle Jon is the youngest of the family.

After the game we went to a fabulous restaurant on the water, that Grandma grew up eating at.

The next Ninja Warrior

Sweet babies!

So this is the next ninja warrior! He started doing this just two days ago! We just need to have a few more children and we can have our own stunt team.

Easter Day

We started our Easter Morning off with a traditional Family easter egg hunt around the house. They used the eggs we dyed the previous night and hid them.

Thank you Grandma and Papa for the wonderful baskets with lots of goodies!

We enjoyed the stylings of Avery and Savannah on baby grand, while getting ready for church.

Thanks to Daniel we have some amazing family photos of Easter!

Great Grandma C. and Grandma with the kids!

GRRR...
