Easter 2014

This year we've really made a point to discuss what Easter is all about.  If anyone can add some insight into this Easter bunny and candy bit, we'd love some help.  We are at church most Sundays, and the boys are very familiar with the story about Jesus' crucifixion and his resurrection.  We've tried really hard to keep Jesus and the Easter bunny separate.  We're doing our best to teach the boys about our faith, but we're still enjoying the fun!
Annual bunny photo - he gave hugs & tipped his ears to hear the boys wishes (Andrew is a bit confused, thinking Easter is a bit more like Christmas, trying to reel that in)
 We were hoping to have a beautiful Easter weekend (it was in late April this year), but it was bit rainy & chilly
 the boys still found lots of gems

 The Easter bunny was right behind Dad making faces, so lots of laughter in this picture
 minimal egg dying this year (only Mom eats the eggs)
 such concentration

thankfully the sun came out, and gave us a beautiful Easter Sunday to celebrate at Grandpa John's house

We are truly thankful for all that we have been blessed with in this world, and we do our best to teach the boys that none of this would be possible without Jesus.  Christ is Risen!

Spring Time Fun

We've had a very exciting spring!  Between a Disney Cruise in March, and a visit to Disney World in April, we wanted to keep things low key, but still have a good time.  The boys are at great ages to try a lot of things, so we're having lots of fun!
 International Waffle Day - celebrating at Waffle House

 Daddy found us tickets to go see Scooby Doo at the Fox Theater

 Mom & Dad want to go check out cars at the car show, the boys are excited to see Captain America & Thor!!

 Brian found an outdoor club that he was excited to join, so we've taken the boys down a few times to go swimming and to try kayaking
 they are so ready to try fishing
 Spring Break rainy day at the movies (just visiting with Lego Batman while we wait)
 Charlotte's Web at the center for puppetry arts - experience wouldn't be complete without a take home Charlotte (thankfully she's only made out of construction paper)
 We made it through Spring Break!! Our reward - the Lady Antebellum concert

Disney Boat Pictures

Of course the cruise ship takes your picture every chance they can get.  We tried to pick a few of our favorites to download and remember.




We really had the BEST time, and every time we see the pictures we talk about how much fun we had!
