Nature Park-Spring 2011

We took our first walk to the park after dinner on Easter. (We would have spent it with family but we had the stomach flu at our house and Julia had already three blowouts..sigh...Glad that is over!!!)  It was the perfect weather and a much needed excursion after being cooped up all week because of the flu!!

 The ducks were a little tired but we woke them up!!! The boys were so excited to see them!

 Matthew was by far the most excited about seeing them! He has recently learned some animal sounds, a duck being among those! He was constantly quaking and laughing...something about that makes a mother's heart full and moments like that make it all worth it...all the throw-up, diraherra, tanturms, fighting, diapers, etc...all kind of disappear when you hear your child experiencing joy at something new or loved...

 Our faithful video-taking! Thanks for capturing all the good times so that we can remember them when the bad times come.

 Those poor ducks!! They had all filled up on plenty of bread and here were three very enthusatic boys doing their best to feed them! Good thing there were a lot of seagulls!!!

 Matthew keeps us on our toes!!! We had to have a hand on him most of the time while we were by the water...he so wanted to go exploring in it!

 My by-far-favorite photo of the whole adventure!!  She really was having a lot of fun...she just wasn't pleased about being put in the Frisbee golf thingy...

 I love this one....Peter holding on to Matthew to help him keep up...What a great moment...

All my little ducks in a row....

We decided that for Easter that we follow the prophet's advice to have a picture of the temple in every bedroom. The boys were excited and loved having them. They also each got a new summer shirt and a bag of  peanut butter candies...(got to have some nutrition in there right...)

Julia got teether biscuits which she has loved...Matthew likes them too...LOL!! 

Overall...we had a great Easter ...I am thankful for a Savior who came to this Earth and suffered and died for me. What a wonder and miracle that it was and still is.
