BEACH!

We had a wonderful time on vacation in St. Simons. This was maybe my favorite St. Simons trip ever! We rode on Suri's , which was so much fun. Anne Braden and I would put the kids on the front of these strange double bike buggys and drive around the island. It was hot but fun. Caroline and I both went to the top of the St. Simons light house for the first time. It was great. What a fun trip swimming, playing on the beach, riding bikes and spending time with family.

Baking Cookies

Caroline and I had a fun time Saturday baking cookies for our neighborhood block party. Caroline LOVED playing in the flour as you can tell from these pictures. I see a future as a pastry chef!

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year! We spent the weekend with the Sexton clan. We celebrated Chuck's birthday, James' birthday and Mother's Day all in one weekend! I got to sleep late, drink a big cup of Starbucks coffee and eat very yummy food this morning. James and Caroline gave me a sweet card and a rose to celebrate. We went to supper with our sweet friends Brad, Sarah and Kate at Hideaway Pizza. Overall it was a wonderful day!

Easter Weekend

Our family had a wonderful Easter weekend with family and friends. We went to Enid on Saturday to help James' sister Kristen and her husband Kyle with their new house. They bought a charming older home that needed some work. We had such fun getting our hands dirty. We had a great Easter the next day with all of James' family and both sets of grandparents. It was wonderful for Caroline to spend time with her Great-Grandparents since she doesn't see them often! Caroline woke up on Easter to find that the Easter Bunny had visited her at Nana and Grandpa's. She was a big fan of the candy- she had a little too much! After opening her Easter gifts we all participated in the Sexton Family Easter Egg Hunt. Caroline had a great time hunting eggs for the first time. We headed home in the afternoon to prepare for Easter dinner at our house with the Blasdel's and Thomas'. We had a great time letting Caroline, Kate and Max hunt eggs in our back yard. Caroline enjoyed opening the eggs, eating the candy, and throwing the eggs back on the ground. She is smart! After the big hunt we had a wonderful pot luck style dinner of traditional holiday foods. We had such a great night with our family and sweet friends. What a wonderful day we had with some of the people we love most. We sure did miss Mimi, Papa and Uncle Jase this weekend, but we still had lots of fun.
