Easter

The day before Easter, I took the kids to the local park so they could participate in an egg hunt. I am so glad my mom was there to help me because there were so many people and I wouldn't have been able to keep track of my kids! Both kids were able to get a good amount of eggs that weren't already snatched up by the older kids darting for all the eggs.

Thank goodness for afternoon church so we could enjoy the fabulous Easter morning! We started off with a little egg hunt in the house and they loved it! Then they saw their baskets and it was game over.The kids enjoyed their baskets and toys more this year than last year. 

Beckham spent the entire morning playing with his new cars and Brooklyn spent her time coloring. No candy this year for the kiddos. What they don't know won't hurt them :) Maybe next year??

We had a wonderful church session that afternoon filled with great messages of Christ's resurrection. I am so thankful for what He did and went through so we could repent for our sins and live with Him eternally one day.

After church we headed to Clark's parents house and ate a delicious dinner followed by a mini Easter egg hunt in the yard. It was so fun to see all the grand kids look for the eggs!

Butterfly World

My mom, myself and the kids headed to yet another Florida attraction that we could mark off our list...Butterfly World!

The weather was great and we were able to be in the shade the whole time. We first walked through the butterfly gardens which contained hundreds of butterflies! They were fluttering everywhere and landed on flowers and even people.

We were able to hold a few on our hands too! Brooklyn was very interested and enjoyed herself. Beckham wasn't too thrilled about it...surprise!

There was a fun aviary with birds flying above your head or landing on your head, which was witnessed.

I'm glad we went and marked it off our list but I don't think we will be back any time soon!

Disney on Ice

Last Friday Clark surprised me with some tickets to take Brooklyn to Disney on Ice! Beckham was sick so Clark was nice enough to let us girls go out! Let me tell you, taking care of one toddler was so easy compared to two of the same age! It was so nice to have time alone with her.

I had never been to a Disney on Ice show and was excited to see what it was all about.

Brooklyn was good for about 90% of it and then got tired and became restless.

We ended the night with her screaming A.L.L. T.H.E. W.A.Y. H.O.M.E. Oh well!

Boca Children's Mueseum

I bought some tickets to the Boca Children's Museum for when my mom was in town. I try and venture out and do the really fun things with my kids when I can get some help!

I was a little surprised at how small the museum was as it looked bigger online. The kids enjoyed playing with toys in certain designated rooms. Beckham loved the trains and Brooklyn loved to pretend to play at the grocery store.

They really enjoyed the cool pirate ship outside along with some carriage they had in the grass.

Success!

Golden Birthday

Every year my birthday seems to creep up on me. This year it apparently was my golden birthday and I was turning 26! I can't believe I'm closer to 30 than 20 now.

My mom was in town for the whole week (yay!) so she was super nice letting me get some needed time to myself! I went and got my nails done and then headed to a few appointments I had planned for when she was in town...dentist, etc.

After a long day my family headed to my dinner of choice...Hibachi!

The night ended with a late run to Kohls and Clark making me the yummiest homemade chocolate ganache cupcakes with Heath and merengue on top!

Until next year...
