Mema Turns 60

Today my Mom turned 60. I am so lucky to have a Mom that is so smart, beautiful and loves us all so much. It's been a rough few years for her since Mr. Buddy has passed away, but she had gotten through it so well. She has done everything he would want... finish their dream home, live life to the fullest, have fun and always look to the future. She also takes incredibly good care of herself and looks fabulous. In fact, Ella said to her friend Alexa today, "I can't believe my Mema turns 60 today. She only looks 30." She is so wise for only being 7 years old!

I did get a little creative. We made this into a card and sent it to Mema. She loved it!

Spring Fling 2012

We had a great year at BHE's Spring Fling this year. The weather was gorgeous. Will loved the blow up activities, and Ella loved running around with her friends.

Memorial Markettes Show

We were invited to go with some of Ella's friends to see the Memorial Markettes in their spring show. We had dinner and then dessert at Ooh La La. Yum!

Friday Night Camp Out

The kids have been planning a camp out upstairs all week. So, after soccer practice they ran to quickly take a bath and were ready to build the tent upstairs. There was no telling how this would turnout. However, they were so exhausted that they crashed. Cuteness!

Easter Sunday

The kids were so excited about their baskets. The biggest hit was the butterfly garden. They are so ready to start it.

What a beautiful day. We went to mass at St. Clare right on the water. The kids were very good eventhough we had to stand since it was so crowded. I attempted to get a serious picture right after church... that didn't happen.

 The kids just had to see the beach one more time. 

Easter Egg Hunt 2012

We had a fabulous Easter egg hunt with the Marshall family. There were enough eggs for about 10 kids. So, the four of them got several baskets full. Also, the Marshalls put change and dollars in some of the eggs. The kids LOVE this new tradition.

 After the hunt we took Mema out to a wonderful dinner at Dempsey's. Yum!

Lunch at the Beach

The water was a little cold as was the breeze, but we promised the kids some beach time. They had a blast and went crazy. Ella was busy with building projects. Will was just crazy. For lunch we had a picnic. The kids always love that. Will was then cold and snuggled with Mommy. Ella was buried in the sand by Daddy. She loved it.
