Paige insisted on going bowling for her birthday this year. We all had so much fun! The kids bowled on one lane - Avery came in first place. The adults bowled on a separate lane - Adam won with me a close second (thanks to my three strikes in a row!!)
It's pumpkin carving time again! As usual, Paige was very interested in helping and Avery just wanted to see it when it was done. Thanks, Daddy, for doing most of the carving!
The Key West area of the hotel. Quite a pose, Avery. :)
We spent one day in Downtown Disney checking out all the shops and seeing a movie. Whale's Tail in 3D. 
Sailboat inside the hotel.
Miss Lewis's 1st grade class.
Avery and two of her friends, Giana and Ava
Avery's class went on a field trip last week to the pumpking patch. So fun!
This past Saturday was graduation at Florida Southern College where I work. Our dear friend, Danielle graduated and I'm not quite sure what we'll do without her. She has become like family over that past several years and even volunteered to pick Avery up from school and help her with homework this spring. She loves my girls like they were her own sisters. We are so excited for what lies ahead for Danielle as she travels to Memphis to teach in urban schools. She has a heart for God and I can't wait to see what she will accomplish in life. We love you Dani!
Lowes was giving away free trees for Earth Day so we headed there to see what it was all about. They gave us these little tiny trees that we are supposed to plant in a pot for a year before transferring to regular ground. My track record with plants is not too stellar so I'll be shocked if they make it a year. I hope they do well.
Update: I forgot to add a picture of the blueberry pie I made for Easter. Avery's class went on a field trip to pick blueberries on a farm and she insisted a make a pie with her loot. This was my first attempt at a blueberry pie and it was so delicious!!
Happy Easter everyone! (Ok, so Easter was last weekend....it only took me a whole week to upload and post my photos.) Since the girls and I were all home on Good Friday we decided it was the perfect time to color eggs. Unfortunately, Paige came down with a fever and the stomach bug so slept through it all. We may color eggs again later this week to make it up to her.
The girls' Easter baskets and clothes. We hid eggs around the house in the morning and went to Mr. Dirk and Ms. Cole's house for lunch after church. They also hid over 100 eggs for the girls to find. What a fun time!
