Easter

Easter was much less eventful this year than last year.  For those of you who recall, last year we spent the night before Easter at the hospital when my sweet Drewsey accidently cut off the tip of Joshie's thumb while helping him open a pack of M&Ms.  This year was MUCH more relaxing!!

The kids were super excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought them this year.  Some very fun things for summer and a special surprise...a water trampoline for the lake!  They were SO excited!!

We followed our annual tradition of the precious matching outfits for my babies that now only occur this one time each year.  I know that I am running out of time for Anna Caitlin agreeing to this, but I will hang on as long as I can!  Could they be any cuter??

We hosted Easter lunch at our house again.  We had over both mine and Jonathan's entire families.  It is so much for for everyone to get together.  The cousins have a great time playing!

And then, our annual Easter egg hunt followed lunch.  The kids all enjoy looking for the money eggs and the candy eggs.

My beautiful babies...

Spring Break!!

We have been counting down until Spring Break since Christmas, and we were all SO ready for some playtime.  There is nothing better than 9 days of sleeping in, playing, and relaxing with our family and friends.  We started off our Spring Break taking the kiddos up to Dick's Creek for the weekend.  Jonathan and I used to camp here with friends before we had kids.  It is "primitive" camping (translation: no water, no bathroom!!)  That was fine for just the two of us, but not somewhere that we have ventured out with little ones. 

The kids absolutely loved it!  We took them to the waterfall where we used to "slide" down the rocks.  My sweet husband has really grown up I guess...he would not go down the slide because he was afraid that there would be rocks at the bottom :)  They loved going being pulled through the current and swimming in the creek.  It was such a fun day!

On Monday, we got to swim for the very first time this season!  We went over to the Ruddell's pool for a beautiful day of fun in the sun.  The kids had a blast swimming with the Ruddells, the Kellys, and the Stricklands.  They played in the water, they made water balloons, and they played in the backyard.  I love to watch them make such fun memories!!

This is childhood at its very best...

On Tuesday, we went to Acworth Beach with Kade and Rennen.  It was our first time there, at it was so much fun.  The kids loved swimming in the lake with their floats and playing in the sand.  

Drew LOVES him some Kade play time!!

Beach buddies!

On Wednesday, we all got together for a cook out and a glow in the dark Easter egg hunt.  I found this on Pinterest and it was SO cool!  The kids loved hunting the glow eggs in the dark with their flashlights.  A very cool spin on hunting eggs!

Ready to find some eggs!

Ready, set, go!!

The eggs...





What an awesome Spring Break!  Now we are on the countdown to SUMMERTIME!!
