Spring and Easter Time

Here is another marathon post.  One day I will get into posting more regularly again.  This will have to do for now.

So I decided to take a picture of the front of our house this spring.  I just thought the blossoms on the tree and the tulips in the planters looked so pretty.  

There were a few (and I mean few) warm days in April.  Most everyday was pouring down rain.

Enjoying the warm weather outside.

So the following pictures are of one of the times it has flooded behind our house.  The woods behind our house and everything were flooded.  This was the worst time.  The girls thought it was just so fun to run in the mucky water.

 Bristol has been picking up Gwyn a lot lately.  Despite my efforts to leave her be.  This particular day she decided to put Gwyn into her toy box.

Easter Egg Decorating

 We decorated eggs the day before Easter.  The girls had a great time.

 I love that Kali and Nate have similar facial expressions in this picture, with neither one of them knowing what the other person was doing.

 Our eggs (well at least the ones that survived with out breaking from a certain 3 year old and her aggressiveness).

 Gwyn joined in halfway through once she woke up from her nap.

Easter Egg Hunt

 The next day searching for the eggs that Daddy hid.  (I never got their pictures this year in their easter dresses)

Just some photos of Gwyn since she is so darn cute and so you can see how she is growing (or not growing, she only weighs about 15 lbs and is 10 months old)

The sun finally came back out about two days ago.  So we decided to sit out and enjoy the weather once again.

 I am not sure how this picture of Kali got stuck in the middle of the rest of these, but it is pretty cute.

Spring Break

So for spring break we headed down to Hilton Head, South Carolina.  It was about a 12 hour drive, but we were able to split it up to about 6 hours a day.  The first day we were there the weather was beautiful.  So we luckily headed to the beach. 

Kali just ran right to the water and was laying in the waves as they came crashing up.  She truly is a beach lover.

 Bristol and Kali enjoying the water.

Bristol and Samantha (our friends came with us) digging in the sand.

Dora and I chilling on the beach and watching the kiddos.  I have Gwyn asleep in my arms.

So we were wondering why the people walking by kept staring at us.  We then looked behind us and Kali had stripped down to nothing and was dancing around.  She is quite the nudist in our family.

Gwyn enjoying the nice sunshine.

So like I said above it was a good thing that we went and enjoyed the nice weather because it didn't last long.  Practically the rest of our trip it was cloudy and rainy.  Of course the day before we left it was sunny again, but quite windy.  Then the day we left was just gorgeous.  We still had a great time and it was great to get away from home and go somewhere we have never been.

Eating on the beach!

Bristol getting ready to fly a kite.

So Wednesday was just pouring rain all day.  I don't know if you can see it in the background, but the rain is just pouring off the window shades.

We managed to take a walk on the beach almost every evening.  We had to get our beach fix somehow.

The girls loved collecting shells on the beach.  We came home with a big bag full.

The car ride home.  As you can see especially on Kali's face they had been eating powdered doughnuts for breakfast.

We had a great time and are so thankful to my mom and dad for letting us use some of their timeshare so we could have a great vacation.  We hope to go back again sometime, maybe when it is not so rainy.

So also on a side note, sorry that this post is so crazy.  The new system has been a bit of a challenge with this many pictures.  Hopefully I will get better with it.

Torture of Gwyn

Bristol laughed so hard when I put a clean diaper on Gwyn's head. It looked like a George Washington wig or something. Getting a picture was tricky because Gwyn kept taking it off before I could get a good snap. A few good ones came out though. I think it helped that Bristol was laughing so hard that it made it infectious for Gwyn to laugh and smile too.

This is my favorite picture. I love her happy little face accompanied by her tongue sticking out.

Gwyn does this face all the time now.
