easter celebrating!

easter sunday we decided to get our booties up early to get to the sunrise service where aunt was baptized.

mark was the one to dunk her under!

 after all the church stuff we headed to my parents' place for some hunting and eating!

mr. mark was gone for his birthday so we added a little birthday celebration into the mix.

 this is what they looked like most of the afternoon.

strawberry picking and more

spring break calls for going out to breakfast and strawberry picking...

charlotte celebrated her first birthday!

5th annual easter egg hunt

each year we join new and old friends as we gather at the park for an easter egg hunt.  stew is a great sport about dressing up in a roger rabbit costume and taking pictures with all the kids.  our boys love it!  one of my favorite parts is the fact that lauren graciously volunteers her time and talent to take pictures of the kids and families.  what a treat!

thanks to lauren we remembered to take off our sunglasses!          

love that our boys enjoy each other as well...

camping in april

the men in my life love to camp!  fortunately noah is too young to go and so i get have to stay behind with him. 

 

spring break

auntie bonnie gave the boys the gift of skate camp and new boards for easter.  they spent a week of their mornings during spring  break learning to skate.  so fun to watch! 

this guy worked on his walking skills.  

 spring break always feels good.  no school, no homework, no schedules!  bring on summer.

auntie came down and took us to sea world.  fun for all.

last day of skate camp.  the boys were proud to show off all they learned.  

grandma chris wanted to see the new skills as well.
