Easter at the beach








We just returned from a wonderful, relaxing, Easter vacation to Seaside. Thanks to my parents (who own a time share at Worldmark), we were able to stay in a gorgeous, beach front resort and enjoy plenty of quality time with my side of the family.


Lil Jesse experienced the beach for the first time... didnt' care too much for the wind or bright sunshine. We kept him indoors for a majority of the weekend due to a chapped face and a fever...so sad!!


Moriah and Salena thoroughly soaked up the rays and dug into the sand like pros. They loved every minute that they were able to get dirty and build castles and dig holes on the beach.


Easter sunday just happened to fall at the end of our vacation and so the girls got to have an egg hunt at the coast and enjoy all the goodies that their aunt Barbara and uncle Brian sent for them.


From riding the rental bikes up the strip, to flying kites... from venturing out onto the beach on the stormiest morning EVER, to riding the indoor carousel...from shopping to the aquarium...from exercising to stuffing our faces with delicious food...this family trip was AMAZING and we look forward to next year. We are so glad that we were able to share this time with my parents, my grandma, and my sister and Casey. Memories were made that will never be forgotten.

Our love for them will travel the miles

A piece of our family left for Morocco this morning. We enjoyed spending time with them yesterday evening, but did not enjoy the goodbyes. Family get-togethers just won't be the same without them.
Dom, Syb, and the boys~ we love you guys and will miss you so much, but we will hang onto the joy we have for your family in this time of new beginnings, and that joy will drown the sorrows. We look forward to hearing all about your adventures you had on your journey to your new home. Our prayers go with you...Much love! XOXO
