Spring Break

For Spring Break we had the opportunity to head down to Florida to visit my parents.  They recently moved to Spring Hill, Fl. and it was great seeing where they live and spending time with them. The boys enjoyed the pool right outside their sliding glass door.  It was a relaxing and great time!

 My uncle also lives down there so it was fun to have the boys get to know him a little.  Most of the time he had their full attention!

 We had some fun days at the beach as well.  Leave it to Chapman to find something.  He is known for finding the most random things where ever we are.

 Our last day we enjoyed a boat ride down the river that leads to the ocean.  It was kinda late in the season but Matinee hang out in the natural spring during the winter months.  We were able to see a couple.  

Amazing animals!

 Cousin Diego

Mom and Dad...our wonderful hosts!  We appreciate all they did for us to make it possible to come.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend with some of our family.  We decided since Sunday is such a busy day for us, we would have Scott's family over on Saturday for dinner and an annual egg hunt.  

 Some were more obvious than others:)

 Kids getting ready to hunt.

 Always a great time to be with cousins!

 I tried a new recipe for baking a turkey.  You can find it here.  I enjoy this blog and have used many recipes from it.

 We also celebrated Hudson's birthday that week.  So for dessert, Grandma Yoder brought his favorite...Peanut Butter Pie.  Can't believe he is 14.  He's a great kid and we love having him in our family!

Remember the little segment on Sesame street?  Which one of these is not like the other??  We now have a 'girl' around once in a while.  This is Reis' friend Haley.  She's a wonderful young lady and its fun to have her hang out with us.  Although she gives the boys a run for their money in competition!
