Our family loves throwing down a blanket, bringing a picnic lunch, and flying kites--it's so much easier attached to a fishing pole.
It's also a great place for pictures!

Table Top!
Every year we try to visit our favorite picnic site--Table Top Mtn. This year we didn't make it up there until the end of April due to all of the rain. However, it was definitely worth it--the wildflowers were amazing.

Marine World
Our Family took our annual after tax season trip this year to Six Flags/Marine World/Discovery Kingdom! We were only gone 2 days and 2 nights, but we packed in as much fun as we could.
There were sooo many things to do. We were there when the gates opened in the morning and left when the gates closed at night. Rides, animals, shopping, activities, & food filled our day!
The kids not only love going to fun places, but they also love staying in hotels and enjoying a heated swimming pool. After playing and exploring Marine world during the day they continued the fun in the heated pool and sauna at night.
Seth was fearless! He wanted to ride every crazy and daring ride that was available. I admit I also love the thrill and joined him on most of the rides while Aaron and the girls opted to stay on the sidelines. It didn't bother him to have me screaming beside him on the roller coasters or to ride by himself when I couldn't find the courage to join him.
The only negative thing during the trip was the endless walking! (I actually didn't mind it because it helped to counter all of the junk food that I ate during the trip!)

Baby Shower
My baby sister is having a BABY!
I was able to give my sister Leanne a baby shower. It was a lot fun planning the food, decorations, games, etc. Of course my other sisters and sister-in-laws helped too.
Lots of family & friends came to enjoy her special day. My sister Kate and her daughter Karley were able to come out for the occasion.
Leanne is due with a healthy baby ________? She and her husband want to wait until its born to find out. She is Due on May 6th. We'll let you know the exciting news as soon as it happens!

Easter 2010
It's Easter time again!
It doesn't matter how old the kids get, they still love decorating cookies, dyeing eggs and of course going on an Easter egg hunt.
The Saturday before Easter we had a BIG egg hunt at Grandma Leila's house. We enjoyed the day by visiting with family, eating great food, and some of us continued into the evening trying to find the last couple of eggs that were still hidden. (Our Easter Bunny has some great hiding spots!)

Lilacs
I know I probably say this every year, but I absolutely love my lilac bushes. For about 2 weeks toward the end of March they bloom. I am so lucky to have these amazing flowers that decorate my yard and give off a heavenly scent.
I wish I could take credit for these wonderful flowers, but I can't. They were here when we bought our home and I often times forget to water or trim them. However, every year they continue to come back and amaze me with their beauty.
