florida 2008

we had such an awesome time visiting my brother, his wife and my sister. we took a ton of pics because we very rarely get to see any of them. we went boating in ft Meyers, took a bike ride at sanibel island, went to a kiddie community water park, the playground, had a fire, relaxed in the hot tub.... it was so good to see them and cant wait to go back again.....

play time... take TWO!!!

Play time... take ONE!

The kids had a good time playing outdoors today. Unfortunately, i lost a bunch of pics of the boys playing football, they had a great time tackling each other. I'll post the video in a separate posting....

easter basket hunt

OK-- we don't get into Easter egg hunts, going to the mall to see the Easter bunny, etc. we do, however, celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, eat a lot, get together with friends, go to church, and create a basket of goodies like fruit, a little bit of candy, snacks for their lunch, and something else they happen to need at the time. this year it was shoes, so we went shoe shopping Friday night.

we planned on putting out their baskets before church, but completely forgot. Later this evening while we were watching TV before bed I remembered. Max and Ruby (they're bunnies who are brother and sister, and they were celebrating easter) was on and i realized we never did anything for the kids. check out what happened.....

ants in their pants....

The stomach flu as gone through all the kids this week... and this is how the boys are recovering while Anna and Dan napped.....
