Roe's Second Birthday

We went back and fourth on what to do for a birthday party for one little boy who can not/does not eat.

It's no fun for other kids to be invited to a birthday party without cake and icecream, but it is no fair for him to give it to the kids and (under the strange coincidence that he may actually want to eat) not let him have any.

We settled upon a quiet family birthday party in Gigi and Pops back yard.

We ate turkey burgers (which he can eat) and i made special cupcakes for the three kiddos.

Kirb, Roe and Margaret.

It was perfect!!!

sweet cousins

all three of these kiddos are totally obsessed with each other

so sweet

Auntie Bedo (sierra) came for a few days, bearing gifts for all!

Roe's Birthday present was this Thomas the Train power wheels!!!

Obsessed

On Roe's actual birthday we went to adventure landing to play putt putt.

Just our family and Roe's God-parents,

It was a hit!

The next weekend was the TPC and since we have some pretty sweet accomidations at Sawgrass we decided to make a long weekend of it.

Hunter was more interested in fishing than the golf, which was fine with us.

Kirby is now my little fisher boy..... Thanks Pops for the fishing poles!

Cool dudes ready for the beach

Easter Weekend

 We are finally recovering from a busy weekend.

 The kids didn't have school on Friday so we headed down to Sawgrass bright and early to spend a fun morning on the beach with all of our cousins.

After a few hours playing on the beach we headed back to Aunt Sandra's house for a delicious lunch.

The kids all modeled their Argentina T-shirts that Baba and Aunt Sandra brought back.

Saturday we went set off on a boat ride.....

to celebrate Wiley coming into town and the exciting news of an engagement 

"A three four hour tour, a three four hour tour...."

Cue lightning.

and that's all i have to say about that matter

Let me introduce you to the cast of As The World Turns

We were super excited that the Easter bunny remembered to come by our house,  

of course he/she brought Legos

(is the EB a boy or a girl?)

I'm not quite organized enough to have my children dressed in their Easter outfits for the egg hunt, it was all i could do to get my contacts on and find my camera

My adorable God-Baby

Jonathan McKinnon Collins Jr

was baptized Easter Sunday at St Marks during the 11:00 service

I Love this family

There was a sweet reception/ Easter lunch at Biba and Erik's house afterwards

 Roe liked to be the entertainment

We planned this

April with the Alexanders

We have had a great month, the weather has been beautiful and we have spent plenty of time outside enjoying things before it gets to hot around here.

Uncle John gave Roe and his buddy Charlie a fun tour of all the big tractors at John Deere

Wedding weekend

Sierra Finnegan and Kevin Clemmons

were married at The Cloister in Sea Island

Ted and I stayed at the Sea Palms Golf and Tennis Resort

it was a bit dated, but clean and the price was good.

Above was the view from our patio.

 The rehearsal dinner was a Low Country Boil which included a cocktail cruise on the

Cloister Belle
