I caught a...SHRIMP!

We all went fishing at the coast off the pier. It was neat to watch all the fishermen around you...since they really knew what they were doing. We looked like we knew what we were doing...using shrimp for bait and everything. The guy beside us caught 2 stingrays!
After trying to fish for about an hour, the girls gave up but the guys kept on plugging. Finally Carter told his Daddy he didn't want to leave until he caught something. Adam, with his quick thinking, said, "Look Carter, look at your pole, I think you caught something!" Carter got so excited he forgot what he had as bait, grabbed his pole, pulled it out, and told Papa & Daddy, "Look, I caught a shrimp!!!" What a coincidence! He was happy and Papa & Adam were happy because they could head back to the condo.

Fun in the sun

We extremely enjoyed our beach vacation this year with Nana and Papa! The kiddos were so much fun. Carter went nonstop from the moment we got there switching between the sand and the pool numerous times a day. He woke up in the morning, put his suit right on, and waited very impatiently for someone to swim with him. Averi was the opposite, she didn't like the wind messing up her hair and didn't get off the top step of the pool. Adam and I enjoyed every second of relaxing and were not ready to come home.

More Easter

We got to visit more cousins...Kody, Kyler, & Kash along with grandparents galore...at the end of the weekend Carter said, "This was the best weekend of my life!"
Here they are in their Easter clothes...looking so cute and sweet.


After church, we had the big egg hunt. The older kids had a money hunt and the younger ones got their candy eggs. Adam and I were a little sad to be out of the hunt this year, not just because no money eggs but mainly b/c we aren't considered the older kids anymore.

Easter with Elli

The kids love Elli and she loves them too. Aaron & Ashley's church had an egg hunt with 7000 eggs...it was incredible. We watched them "hide" the eggs, they just took buckets full and dumped them everywhere. Carter's rules for egg-hunting..."Run as fast as you can, knock kids down or whatever you have to do to get as many eggs as you can then if the little kids don't have any eggs you can share with them." :)


Elli was checking out that bunny...Averi was far, far away.
