Easter Sunday '08

It has been neat to listen to Christian talk about the Easter story. He is really getting it and seems to understand that it was a big deal. I am so thankful that we have a good children's program that focuses on teaching the children the background to all the stories. He is learning so much.

Here are my two Easter blessings Mom and Mim bought this dress for Baylor not long after she was born b/c it was just too cute to pass up...the matching jacket was a must for this chilly Easter. I was lucky enough to find a sweater for Christian that matched:)

Our attempt at a good family picture

More Easter fun

I don't know how we got this many kids to sit down for a picture:) After the egg hunt Nana came back to our house to do some special cupcakes with the kids. She dyed icing and coconut flakes green for 'grass' and then they added jelly beans for 'eggs' They had a good little assembly line: Nana did icing, Baylor did grass and Christian added the eggs

They were both concentrating hard on their jobs
What fun is cooking without a little sampling?!?!?

Otter Creek Egg Hunt '08

We had a cold, but fun egg hunt on Saturday. I was a bad mommy and forgot jackets so my kids were freezing by the end. Daddy was still on his trip to Vegas--so here is our family picture minus 1 Christian is all hunched up from the wind:)

Lila and froggy were hunting eggs too...her sister Ruby was home sick:(

We went to see Mim and Travis!!! Here is a picture of their little townhouse. They (mim) have it decorated so cute. I was a bad sister and never got a picture of the two of us together:( but we all had so much fun. She even let Jeff and I have a day in Destin which is only an hour and a half from her house. Jeff and I enjoyed eating, shopping and just being together with no kiddos. Her and Travis are both great cooks and we were spolied by all the good food...Mim, don't forget to send those recipes!!! Here is their baby...Foxy was the hit of the trip. Both kids had so much fun playing with her. Baylor loved to run and then tell her to stop chasing her. She'd say "No, Bosy, No" (that's what it sounded like anyway)
She's only a few weeks old and is still so small
Christian tried to play Guitar Hero, but it's just a little too hard for his little hands. Who am I kidding?!?! It's hard for me to do:)

Spring Break 2008 part 2

We went to the Aviation Museum that is on base...it shows aircraft from the earlist to the most recent. There was even a hot air balloon basket that was used as a spotter for guns on the ground before they had the planes Our little family

There was a cockpit you could get inside
I think these planes were WWI or II

Here Travis is demonstrating something about flying...that boy knows so much that means absolutley nothing to me:)

What cute little pilots


Mim said they call this the mini-van of the sky b/c you can fit so many soldiers inside

Spring Break 2008 part 3

Here Christian is sporting Uncle Travis' flight helmet and you can see Travis in his uniform I love the little smirk on Christian's face here...it's like he knows he is a big deal
We drove out to an airfield to watch some of the soldiers flying just like Travis does
If you look real close you can see a helicopter
