!0 year anniversary trip

Mark and I took a trip to the Bahamas for our 10 year anniversary.  It was so relaxing to get away for a few days. When we arrived at the Bahamas it was windy and chilly.  We didn't pack our bags for cool weather.

 We stayed at the Sandals hotel.  It was very nice resort and we had some yummy food.

 Mark's breakfast one morning; smoked salmon and a bagel.

 Relaxing on the beach looking at the pier.  They served dinner on the pier every evening.

 The Sandals hotel had a private island just a short boat ride away, it is just beyond the pier. We headed to the island one day at lunch.  We had lunch there then spent the day walking the beach, playing in the water and relaxing in the sun.

 The evening we ate at the pier for dinner there was a barracuda swimming below the pier the whole time.

 Here is a picture of the sunset on the last evening we were there.

I am so glad that we got to spend time together and I can't wait to see what the next 10 years holds for us.  

Easter

This year we attended our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. They served donuts before the hunt. Wesley was very excited to hunt eggs but we knew that it would be challenging to help him while Evan and Luke were down searching for eggs.

Wesley thought it was funny when he put his basket on his head.

Luke and Evan only found one or two eggs each.  They didn't get the concept of running and collecting as many as you can.

Even thought he couldn't watch Wesley the whole time he still had a blast.  We tried to get a picture of all three boys and as you see that is impossible at this time.

The Easter bunny came took pictures with all the kids.

Wesley looking at all of his goodies.

What a fun time we had with our neighborhood.  We can't wait to see what it is like next year.

This Easter Wesley wanted to leave carrots for the Easter bunny and a few coins for the goodies he left for us.

 Wesley wanted to have bacon and chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.  They got new fun cups to drink out of.

 All of the boys checking out their goodies that the Easter bunny left for them. Wesley got a new book, flip flops, Star Wars figurine and a few other things.

 Evan and Luke got new Paw Patrol figurines, books, flip flops and a few other goodies.

 After Church was over we headed out to egg hunt.  Evan and Luke did a much better job at finding eggs this time.

 Wesley did a great job at finding all the eggs the Easter Bunny hid up high in the trees, swing set and fence.

 After we collected all the eggs we headed inside to warm up and check out what was in our eggs. Wesley found all the eggs with money in them!  He was excited about that.

What a fun Easter we had.  I can't wait to see how the boys grow and change over the next year.

March Happenings

I am so far behind on blogging so I am trying to catch up. In March we got the kitchen out for the boys to play with.  This was one of Wesley's favorite toys to play with when he was younger.  Evan and Luke love it just as much as Wesley does.

We also got out Wesley's old shopping cart and it is perfect for one baby to climb in and the other one push.

Here is a picture of Wesley before his baseball game on Saturdays.  He loves to play baseball and is great at hitting the ball.

Valentines Day 2015

Valentines morning the boys woke up to heart shaped bacon and pancakes along with a few goodies. Wesley got a heart full of m & m's and a dino bot and Evan and Luke got a few trains. The boys Grammy and Papaw were coming in that morning to visit for the weekend.

Wes and I made sugar cookies that morning before our family got to our house.  He still loves to help in the kitchen; especially when it is making cookies.

Valentine's afternoon Wesley, Mark and Joe went to the Monster Truck Rally.  We had Wesley take these ear muffs to this rally so of course Evan had to try them on.

When Wesley got back from the Rally he and Grammy iced cookies for dinner.  He kept "getting" icing on his fingers so he had to get it off some how.

Evan and Luke both loved their cookies.

We made chocolate covered strawberries and blueberries for dessert.

Wesley had a Valentine's party at school this year and they made this "love" canvas.  I asked Wesley to take a picture of it for me.

Snow days

In February we have had a few small snow storms that are melted away within a day or two.

For Christmas the boys got a snow painting set that Wesley likes to use.

One afternoon Mark and Wesley got home from sledding and decided that they needed to clean the drive way off. Wesley is a great helper.

We bundled everyone up with this last ice/snow storm and headed outside to play.  This was the second time this year that the babies have been out in the snow.  They did not enjoy walking in the snow, touching the snow or riding on the sled.  I took the picture from behind because of the crying that was going on in the sled.  I took Evan and Luke in quickly after that. 

Of course after you play in the snow for just a few minutes you need to come in and warm up with a hot cup of hot chocolate.

Wesley got ready to go to school one morning and it was snowing/sleeting.  Before we left I caught Evan and Wesley watching it snow.

I decided that around lunchtime I needed to go get Wesley since we were getting a little more snow that I they said.  I didn't want the roads to get bad and have to get everyone out in that mess to pick up Wesley.  Once Evan and Luke went down for their nap Wesley and I played board games and he had some hot chocolate.

Our photographer had set up a few mini sessions in the snow since school was out.  I finally got in a picture with all three boys! All three boys did wonderful getting their picture taken, thank goodness the session was only 15 minutes because it was very cold. I am glad that we got out and braved the weather.
