Dauphin Island

We went to Dauphin Island this past weekend with the Williams Family and had such a great time. The Butlers were so nice to let us stay at their home. It was perfect. Matthew and Jackson got to go to the beach Saturday morning. Paul said they had a blast playing in the water, building volcanoes and sand castles, running down the beach, and yes...chasing girls. Sara and I stayed at the house with Thomas and Reed. It was a little chilly for us. We also went to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab to see the fish and other sea life. Sunday we went to the Bird Sanctuary and walked around trying to find the turtles and alligators. We were limited to where we could go though since we had the stroller. Matthew enjoyed walking through the woods though. He loves being outdoors and collecting rocks, leaves, and sticks. He was looking hard for the turtles and alligators, but we did not see any. We had a great weekend!

"Come back with those monkeys Matt-chew" (that's what Jackson calls him)

Paul and I walked into the den to this. Matthew showing Thomas his animal book. So sweet.

Our Squash...Paul and I are attempting to grow some vegetables. We planted squash, cucumber, tomatoes, and creole tomatoes.

Happy Easter!

Sheep I made for Matthew. He saw them in a Magazine and loved them so I decided to make them for him.


Easter Eggs that Matthew helped me make. He was so excited and loved them.

I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!


Thomas' first haircut. He was very curious as to what was going on and kept turning head. I had to distract him with my keys.
