Let me just say that I may change my 4 post a week goal. I know, I know, it's only been a week, but it's 10:30 Saturday night and I am writing a post just so I'll meet my goal when I really want to be in bed. sigh... I'm old. It's sad.

So Easter is passed (hello obvious) but it's not so long ago that I feel weird posting the pics. Like Christmas. Those pics just aren't making the blog this year :).

We usually color Easter eggs at Bill and Elaine's but we didn't make it to Fort Myers this year for Easter. The kids were pretty disappointed that they had to stay home and color eggs with Mom, but they survived.

 Easter morning fun!

 This is how Zoie's hair usually looks. Good, right?

 Logan got circus peanuts in his Easter basket. He LOVED them! A baby after my own heart!

 After church we had our friends over for dinner and an egg hunt. Here are the kids patiently waiting while Jim and Austin hid the eggs.

 The hunt begins! 

It took Logan a minute but he eventually figured out the whole, find an egg, put it in the basket routine.

 Here is where you can tell that two tall people hid all the eggs. Can you see the orange egg?

It was a great day, nice and relaxing and we enjoyed spending it with friends.

This year I have been lucky enough to go on at least one field trip with each of my kids. (Last year I didn't get to go on any because of limited space.) So Jim watched Logan for the day so that I could go with Zoie and her kindergarten class to the Lowry Park Zoo. She had a lot of fun seeing all the different animals and I was happy that I could go with her.

 Jim saw this picture and may have freaked a little. ha ha It looks a little like she is inside the fenced off area, but she was just leaning over the bottom railing and then turned around and looked up at me.

 I knew that Zoie would love feeding the birds so even though the other mom in our group didn't seem super thrilled about it, I made sure that we did this. 

Take me out to the ballgame!

We always love going to Rays games every year as a family. Once again our county offered discounted tickets to the schools so we got a bunch and talked our friends into going with us. The kids all had such a good time, although I think more time was spent playing than actually watching the game. :)

We passed by this guy on the way in. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture but its a manta ray in a baseball cap and pants.  We haven't ever seen him before...some new mascot for the Rays I guess. 

 No idea who these players are. (Jim might) The Rays were playing the Twins.

 The Rays won and we had fun so it was a great game!

Hmm...

Let's see if I can figure out how to post pictures....

YAY! I did it!

We usually do a family photo sometime before Christmas but couldn't seem to get to it last year, so my awesome friend Jennifer did us a HUGE favor and took them a few weeks ago. I am so happy to have some great new pictures to put up in our house.

What's that you say? My kids are adorable?? I know, right.

Yikes!

I've been away so long that blogger has completely changed and I have no idea how to use it. Nice!
Well, here goes again. My new goal is to update 4 times a week (at least). I am not going to pressure myself by trying to catch up on everything that I skipped over the past several months, but I may occasionally post about some of them. So, anyone still checking in on us....
....anyone???....are you there?...
come back and see how I keep up on my goal. And feel free to criticize if I don't (maybe that will keep me in check).
