Did you make it to the beach this weekend?

I drove past the entrance to the county park near us yesterday afternoon and the line to enter was super long.  It would have been the perfect beach day!  However, instead of going to the beach on a hot sunny 80 plus degree day our family went on a cold, windy 58 degree day.  Along with Leah's birthday we celebrated my mom's 60th birthday which is actually 3 days before Leah's.  My mom wanted our whole family in a photo for her birthday.  My neigbhor Heather took over 180 pictures of the family.  The ones above are 3 of my favorites. 

Why haven't you posted lately?

I wish that I could say I've been taking lots of pictures to post on this blog, but I haven't lately.  Last weekend Leah and Elizabeth had their end of the year gymnastics performance and I did bring my camera.  Unfortunately not many of the images turned out because of the lighting in the gym, but I did manage to get a few.

Then this weekend we celebrated Leah's 8th birthday.  She wanted a tie dye themed party so I bought bandanas and we had fun tie dying them.  It was a lot cheaper than shirts and I think they turned out really cute.

It is great to be 8!



Was your Easter "hoppy"?

Easter Sunday was a great day! Leah and Elizabeth woke up at the crack of dawn, like clockwork, and went on a scavenger hunt throughout the house in search of their Easter baskets. After an amazing church service we went home and the girls and I dyed eggs while Tim made a vegetable dish for lunch with his parents. We had a great meal and enjoyed the sunshine on the deck during dessert.
