Bowlin', bowlin', bowlin'...

My mom came out last week and spent an afternoon with us. I only had one extra kiddo that day, so we decided to go bowling. We had the whole ally to ourselves and the kids had so much fun.

Down they went!

Now Harper's turn.

This took forever

The Children's Museum

I took the kids to The Children's Museum yesterday and we had a blast! I usually have 3 kids in addition to my own on Mondays, but since we just had one little guy yesterday we decided to go out after school. The kids were so good and really enjoyed every aspect of the museum. Here are a few things that they did.

Nerd Alert!

A rainy Sunday at the theater

This weekend we took the kids to see "Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" at our local theater. It was put on by the children's theater group and they did a fantastic job. Zeke and Harper really enjoyed it and will hopefully be involved in it someday.

Of course Harper had to have her picture taken with some of the cast members.

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play!

It is officially baseball season. This year Zeke is on the White Sox and after 3 games, he's doing just about as well as any other 5 year old I know. He is having fun, for sure, and I think his favorite part of the game is the snack at the end! So far, he has only gotten on base 3 times and has only made it all the way back to home plate once. Oh well, it's worth it to see him in his adorable uniform twice a week.

No. He's not stretching, this is how he plays outfield!

That's my boy!

A much needed break

We were lucky enough to get to go on a trip for spring break this year! We split the cost of a condo with another family and headed down to Carillon Beach, FL (between Panama City and Destin). The first few days were windy, but the end of the week was beautiful and the kids (and adults) loved every minute of it!

I always force Josh and the kids to get dressed up and take a nice family pic whenever we go on vacation.

The cutest little wedgie I ever saw!


Zeke enjoying the sand.

They had so much fun together.

Falling in the sand never looked so good!

Lunch at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.

Spring Break photo shoot

On the last day of our trip, the condo complex where we stayed had "Easter on The Beach." Zeke and Harper had so much fun in the bounce houses and on the inflatable slide. Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny were also there.

This is my favorite pic EVER!

Harper followed the Easter bunnies around the whole time.

Funny Bunny glasses!

Zeke found the golden egg at the Easter egg hunt and won this HUGE basket of sand toys!
So we headed to the beach one last time and built this sand castle.

Cheeseburger in Paradise

I can't believe that my little cheeseburger is 5 years old already! Zekerbeeker is becoming a big Jimmy Buffett fan, and he insisted on having a Cheeseburger in Paradise birthday party this year. I thought that was a great idea, so we had an awesome party Parrotthead style!

Zeke blowing out FIVE candles!

Crash Holden

I'm not sure what Santa was thinking, but this is what he brought us this year. This is Crash Holden and he is the most adorable, lovable, slobbery mess you will ever meet. He is a royal pain in the neck, and every time I say the words "Santa, what were you thinking?!" he looks at me with this face.

It's definitely a love/hate relationship.
