Spring Break

Anthony had the week off of school so we headed to North Carolina to visit our good friends and get away from the snow. The Smith's were amazing hosts, we had so much fun. We spent our days seeing the sights and our evenings eating good food while enjoying the good company.

The kids each had a friend their same size, so they kept busy playing all day long. Here they are lined up from oldest to youngest:

We got to visit a cute little town called Wilmington where the T.V. show "One Tree Hill" is filmed:

The kids were happiest at the beach, we saw dolphins, a crab, a shark's tooth, and a ton of sea shells:

Since you can't see all the things that live in the ocean at the ocean, we went to an aquarium to see all the ocean creatures:

Then back to the beach again, the weather was so warm compared to Buffalo we had to enjoy it to its fullest:

Pictures

Kenzie keeps asking me to take a picture with her holding Kaitlynn. Little does Kenzie realize Kaitlynn hates these little photo shoots:

Kaitlynn eating

It has only been 3 days since I vacuumed, but I knew it was time to get the vacuum out when I caught Kate under the table treating herself to a snack.

Parker's B-day

Today Parker turned 5. He started out the day with his favorite shark shirt and a plate full of bacon:

I think he got more presents than he did for Christmas:

We had a family party with his adopted Grandma:
I got to spend the day at school with him. We made dinosaur cupcakes for him to share with each of his classmates:

He started out the day packed with fun, then when 2 o'clock hit he spiked a fever and was out for the rest of the day, poor kid.

Anthony b-day

Today was Anthony's birthday. Can you believe he is 31 and still lookn' this good?

Bunco

I got to host Bunco the other night. To begin the night I took everyone's picture, and while we played the game Anthony got to work distorting everyone's faces. When the game was over and we needed to settle ties Anthony would show a distorted picture and whoever recognized the face, won. The pictures were priceless. I had to document the night with a picture so I will never forget how much fun my friends are:

It hurt a little to see how bad he could make us look. Any guess who this is:

Kaitlynn's Love

Kaitlynn's favorite place to be is in her dad's arms.
