Easter 2012

Last week we had our church Easter egg hunt.  





There were 3 prize eggs in their age group and all three of ours won prize eggs.  We promise we didn't rig it.  

Last night we dyed eggs with them.  This was a first for them.  They had fun, but we have a lot of cracked eggs!

This morning the Easter bunny came to our house.  



A wonderful day at church.

Happy Easter!

Orlando Trip

Last December when we went to Disney we left our camper down there.  We planned another trip to go pick it up.  We planned a less busy trip this time too.  We left @ 6am on a Friday scooping the kids out of their beds and hoping they would go back to sleep.  No such luck.  They were so excited.  When Matthew grabbed Ellie out of bed she said "Dad we have a lot to do today".  We made it down there at 3:00 and finally got to see the camper.  They were so excited to see it.  We have toys that stay in the camper so they had been talking on the way down about their toys.  They played while I cleaned the camper and Matthew got us set-up.  We didn't stay at the Disney campground this time, but another campground with a fun kiddie pool.  
Ready for the pool and happy with their toys they have missed. 
The next day we went to Downtown Disney for the day and ate at the T-Rex Cafe.  They were a little unsure of the dinosaurs when they came to life, but enjoyed it.   
It was St. Patty's Day so here we are in our green for the day
On Sunday we went to Sea World.  We really enjoyed our day there.  
Shamu was facing the sun so no one wanted to look up.
They rode their first real roller coaster.  Evan was even tall enough to sit by himself.  I have to confess I prayed the whole ride that he would not fall out.  I was with Charlotte & Matthew was sitting with Ellie.  He was next to another little girl.  They had a blast.  Charlotte squealed with delight.

Up next was the Shamu show.



 Our favorite show was the dolphin show and of course they loved the carousel.

John 3:16

At Awana on Wednesday nights the kids learn bible verses. They have learned Genesis 1:1 and now they have moved on to a much longer verse. Good job Mrs. Jessica, Mrs. Miranda & Mr. Levi for teaching them these sweet words. They love going to Puggles!

We hope and pray these verses will stay in their hearts forever.

3 year stats

Last week I took each one to the doctor for their 3 year check-up.  Here are the stats and some fun info on each one.  

Ellie - The 1st born
Weight - 25.6 lbs - 10%
Height - 38 3/8in. - 75%
She is so outgoing and could eat sweets all day long.  She is strong-willed, a quick learner and remembers everything.  She loves being rough and tough, but can play dress-up like a girly girl too.  


Evan - The Boy
Weight - 28.6lbs - 15%
Height - 38 1/8in - 75%
He is 100% boy.  He loves to get into things.  He loves cars, balls & tools.  He has to have all his Toy Story toys in the bed with him at night.  He doesn't like it when the girls get in trouble, he is tenderhearted - a great brother.  


Charlotte - The Baby
Weight - 26.4lbs - 15%
Height - 37 3/8in - 50%
She is so sweet & shy.  She loves to cuddle and pretend to be a baby.  She loves to draw and color.  She is so girly and always has a bracelet or a purse full of toys with her.  She loves bows and princesses.


They have a great time together & truly love each other.  



I'm one proud mommy!
