Grandma and Grandpa visit...March 2011

I am so happy Grandma and Grandpa got to come and play with us! Grandma and Grandpa went on a cruise and then they got to come and spend some time with us.  We did a lot! We went to the beach, zoo, children's museum, and Disney World! I sure loved having my parents here and I know the girls loved having Grandma and Grandpa to play with.  I wish they could have stayed even longer but I am thankful for the time we did have.

Destin Florida April 2011

We went to Destin because Stephen had an Anesthesia conference he had to go to so the kids and I tagged along! We had so much fun! Honestly one of the best vacations ever! If you ever get the chance to go to Destin Florida you should! We stayed in one of these resort areas where they had the beach and everything else you could ever need within biking distance. It was a definite bike town and we rode around everywhere (even though I was incredibly worried about riding around with Annie being so little..I did make her wear a helmet!)and it was so much fun! We played on the soft sandy white beaches and had a blast! One of the nights we had horrible thunder and lightning and tornado warnings while the rest of my family slept through it all I stayed awake praying we would survive! Other than that it was the best vacation spot ever and I really hope we get to go again to Destin!

Coco Beach 2011

'

Sometime earlier this year (maybe March?)we went to Coco beach for a weekend. Stephen and I decided we won't be in Florida for very long so we should see some sights. We had a wonderful time playing in the Atlantic Ocean. Katie and Annie both love the beach. Annie was just walking and so she seemed to prefer crawling on the unfamiliar turf. We took walks on the beach and simply enjoyed the time together. We found an amazing beach where we were practically alone with so much space to play. It was such a great little vacation and one that (even though it is so late) I didn't want to forget about!

Easter 2011

As I was looking back over the blog I realized I never posted anything about Easter! We had a great Easter Katie and Annie were both adorable. Annie started walking right around Easter and so she was quite good at finding the Easter eggs too. We started the Easter weekend off by going to Katie's preschool party on Friday. Then we decorated our eggs on Friday night. Then on Saturday we went to the ward Easter egg hunt and there wasn't a great turn out which meant that the kids got to find a lot of eggs! On Sunday morning the girls first found their Easter baskets and then they found their Easter eggs. I don't quite know why but for some reason I never took a picture of the two of them in their beautiful Easter dresses their dresses were coordinating colors and very girly! I sure loved the holiday and I sure love my girls!
