Christ the Lord had risen TODAY!

We had a wonderful morning today as a family and then headed to church for the sermon, potluck and annual Easter Egg hunt! John joined us and we couldn't have been happier!

Trying to get Samuel and Charlotte to take a picture together!

Samuel walked around with the bucket on his head for a while, he would take it off and have the biggest smile on his face, he was so proud of himself!

Every egg he would open, take out the candy and then throw the egg back on the ground! It was hilarious!

Family photo, almost everyone looking at the camera!

Breaking in the Beach 2011

We absolutely LOVE living at the beach and tonight we decided to head out there after dinner for a little bit. The temperature was fabulous, the water freezing (thank you Samuel for dipping your little feet in to let us know!) And what better way to bring in the 2011 beach season than with Britts donuts! It was delicious!

Children's Museum

Friday we went to the Children's museum with our friends for their Easter Egg Hunt Extravaganza. There were TONS of kids and it was a little crazy, but fun was definitely had by all. Samuel and I go to the Children's Museum every week and often play out side. There are tons of balls and things to play with, so he was more interested in finding a ball to throw than picking up eggs, but he did get a few!

Air Show

We went to the Coastal Carolina Air Show yesterday with our friends Joe and Abby and their kids! We had a great time. The weather was beautiful and the kids did great (that is until the jet flew past!). Excited to go again next year!

Samuel and daddy had a great time together!

Lizzie and her princess shades! She was the only of the kids that kept here ear phones on!

Watching the planes. He kept pointing and saying "apane" (airplane)

Josh and Samuel playing. They were born 3 days apart, I think they will be lifelong buddies!

The only one I could get with them both looking and mostly smiling!

Bath Time

Samuel is really loving bath time lately! When it is time to get out he will lay, face down, arms and legs spread wide hoping that will deter us from taking him out (even though the water is already long gone!). Moments ago we asked Samuel if he wanted to take a bath and he quickly replied "yeah". 1 minute later when Ryan went to start the water this is what we found!!!

The good thing is he is unable to turn on the water, for now! So that at least makes me feel better about the fact that he knows how to climb into the tub!

Bob Villa's Work

The bunk beds are complete! I am so proud of Ryan. He worked really hard to find the best plan for creating his masterpiece! He became a carpenter as of January this year, building his first work bench, and decided to take on quite the challenge of making Samuel's bunk beds! They are AWESOME! I am so proud of him!

All the wood laid out waiting to be sanded and stained!

the frame put together in the room because it wouldn't fit through the door! I hope we don't plan to move it anytime soon!

Samuel had a lot of fun weaving in and out of the planks of wood!

Standing up waiting for the mattresses. Samuel was so excited to climb all over them!

I was vacuuming up all the dust from Ryan's drilling and Samuel decided he wanted to help!

Final product! Still need a comforter for the top bunk, but here they are in all their glory!!!
