Nashville Trip to visit Family!

In April we traveled to Nashville, TN to visit Eric's brother John & his wife Chanda and our nephew Jesse. He is six months older than Eli. The two boys had a blast together...the first of many wonderful times together.

As I look at all these pictures...it occurs to me that Eli has his mouth wide open in all of these pictures!

I love this one of Jesse. He loved balancing on the railroad ties around the playground equipment.

Aren't they adorable! Sweet cousins!

Preparing the garden for 2010!

Eli really enjoyed getting the garden ready this year! These are some cute pictures of him helping out.

Costa Rica Trip

March Eric, Julian, and I went to Costa Rica! The trip was wonderful!

Here we are above covered in volcanic mud.

Look at these two ....living the hard life.

Monkeys are like squirrels in Costa Rica...these were right outside our room window.

This is what a traffic jam looks like here.

Julian and I all geared up to zip line through the forest.

all ready...

Hiking...the water slide to the left was so awesome...we took the mile long water slide down after we did the zip line.

This was so much fun!

We went horse back riding all over...up and down hills and through trails in the woods. We laughed so hard that Julian got stuck on the shortest horse in the group...it almost looked like a donkey.

Hanging out in the hot springs. They were amazing! We did the volcano mud and then jumped into the hot springs.

Took a trip in town to Coco beach...I loved this picture. This was a fun day...we enjoyed some delicious sushi here.

At the resort the last night. We met some great people and had and fabulous time!

Florida Spring Break 2010

Every year we try and make it to visit our family in Florida. Definitely time I look forward to every year. This year Eric and Barry were not able to make it but we manage to have a wonderful time anyway!

Some of our favorite times are spent out on Carolyn's front porch looking out at the ocean. Here Aunt Aunnie is lovin on Eli!

We just can't wait to spend time with Katherine! We loved spending time at their pool. Eli was fully entertained throwing golf balls into the pool...while Jake and Sam were entertained fishing them out.

Our little pool boys!

I love this picture. Anna looks just like Mama!

Anna took the boys down to the beach and got several really good shots! I love these!

This picture of Carolyn and Katherine is my favorite!!

Sweet brothers! This was our coolest trip to Florida.

Eli is so silly!

Evelyn and Katherine loving on Eli!
