Easter

Our first Easter in Florida. We had a ward easter egg hunt at a park in Lake Helen. Once the hunt started KaeLynn took off and I didn't see her again until she found all her eggs. Each child was allowed to find a certain number of eggs. Daniel was so adorable and got so exctied with every egg her found.

The kids had a lot of fun dyeing the eggs too. Of course they made a mess, but they had fun doing it :)

Then Easter morning they found their baskets, ate a bunch of goodies first thing, then went out jumping on the trampoline! It was conferance weekend for church so we spent the rest of time watching that. Then we had a yummy Easter dinner with Meema and Grandpa Steve.

 

Luna

We got a kitty! Her name is Luna and she is such a sweet heart! My brother Andrew gave her to us when he couldn't take her when he moved into his new place. She fits in perfectly. She tolerates the kids craziness so well and is very social. She hates to be locked out of a room that your in. She loves to be in the same room as you and the center of all our social events at the house. She is a great addition to our family. 

Kids

I love my kids!!! KaeLynn is such a giving girl. In this picture she built a little walkway to get to the trampoline so Daniel could walk on it without stepping on fireweed that burns your feet if you touch it. Daniel refused to put his shoes on and KaeLynn jumped right in to help the situation, Daddy has long since killed off the fire weed. :) She also had a chance to take home her kindergarten class elephant "Elli" home for the weekend. We had such fun plans to take her to Disney World but it poured the whole weekend! So we took her to the mall instead. We have also took off several inches of KaeLynn's hair off. I was so sad to cut it, but it was getting so tangled and painful for her to take care of. Now she can brush her hair no problem. What a relief! 

Daniel keeps my life so exciting! He loves to play "blankets". This is when he wants to take every blanket in the house, make a huge pile and then take turns throwing them at himself and who ever is playing. This also includes a game of "rough housing". He also just started to learn to ride his 3 wheel scooter. He is a little timid about it, but he is getting braver every day. 

Front row seats!

Recently when we went to go see the car stunt show at Hollywood studios, our family was asked to sit in a private section right in the front! We couldn't believe out of all the hundreds of people there, they picked us. Daniel was beyond excited! KaeLynn did not like being that close to the cars. She also hated how everyone was looking at us as they walked by to go up the bleachers. She pretty much sat in my lap for the whole show. Funny girl.

Then Cavan and I got to go to a free concert at Universal Studios to see Kelly Clarkson. It was included in our annual pass to the park. That was a very fun date! I thought she did awesome!

Visiting Nanny

After Christmas we went and drove to Brunswick Georgia to visit my Nanny and Grandpa Billy. We went to the Court House because the oak trees are so beautiful there! We also saw a HUGE oak tree that they call "Lovers Oak". We also went to an old church on St. Simons Island with a grave yard for soldiers fallen from the Civil War. It was a beautiful place. We ate shrimp at a local seafood place that sold shrimp fresh from the boat. Then we went down to the beach and saw dolphins and had ice cream. It was a great visit.

 

Anniversary and Birthday

December is such a busy month for us. Cavan and I had our 9 year anniversary! On the actual day of our anniversary we went to Disney World and played with the kids. Then my 28th birthday came 3 days later on a Saturday. So Cavan and I decided to celebrate both and spend the night in Orlando and go to Universal Studios and the Temple with out the kids. We had so much fun!! I love this man so much and enjoy all the time we spend together. I feel so blessed!
