Will's Field Trip to the Butterfly Nursery

Will's class took a field trip to a Butterfly Nursery. Mommy got to go along as a chaperon, which Will just loved.

All the kids got to hold a butterfly.


Each of the kids in Will's class made a t-shirt so they would all match on the field trip. Isn't it so cute!!

This isn't a great picture, but it is the only picture that mommy could get of Will raising his hand to answer a question. Mommy was so proud to see Will participate. Science is Will's favorite subject, so this was right up his alley.

The Fletcher's came for a visit

Aunt Mandi, Uncle Walter, Abram and Katie came to visit us while they were on spring break. It's always so nice to have family come visit us and it was especially nice for them to spend Easter with us. We a ton of fun and stayed super busy! The first day we decided to go strawberry picking, which was a lot of fun, but that is a post all in itself. Outside of the strawberry picking and making jam that took about two days, we went to the pool, beach, shopping at Downtown Disney, splash park, dyed eggs and the cousins just played and had a great time being together.

Landon and Katie were so happy to be together.

The cousins had a BLAST at the splash park.

These two are inseparable. Most of the time we could find them playing together quietly in Landon's room.

Katie is such a cutie pie and so girlie, which mommy just loves. It was fun to watch uncle Chad just melt when Katie came up to him.

It was SO NICE having a 1st Grade teacher in the house to help Will with his homework. Thanks Aunt Mandi! We need you here every night:)

Strawberry Picking

While Aunt Mandi, Uncle Walter, Abram and Katie were in town we went strawberry picking. Everyone had a great time and I think our eyes were bigger than our brains, because we came home with more strawberries than we knew what to do with. We all LOVE strawberries but we seriously had a ton!

Abram, Will, Landon and Katie picked strawberries for about 30 minutes. Surprisingly enough they didn't eat more than they picked.





The strawberry farm we went to was huge. This picture is not even a fourth of the farm. Needless to say we didn't even make a dent.

The cousins had a picnic lunch while Aunt Mandi, Uncle Walter and Daddy picked away.


The two white blobs are daddy and Aunt Mandi. They could have picked all day. It's something they have in their blood as their mom, Lou Ann, would have been right with them picking. They said it was a stress reliever, so they must have been pretty stressed because we came home with "65 pints" of strawberries.

I know to some of you this looks like a lot of strawberries, but this was taken after 57 jars of jam were made and we had already frozen and eaten some.

We have done everything we know to do with strawberries this week...strawberry shortcake, strawberry popsicles, strawberry muffins, strawberry pie, smoothies, strawberry jam, freezer jam and just as a snack. Good thing we LOVE strawberries because we will be eating on them for awhile.

Easter 2010

Easter is always a special day, but it is even more special when you get to spend it with family. The Fletcher's came to Florida for their spring break and it worked out that they were here for Easter. The morning started with the kids seeing what the Easter Bunny brought. Then we all got dressed up and went to church. After church we had lunch, Aunt Mandi dyed eggs with the kids, and then the kids went swimming at the neighborhood pool. While the kids (and two adults of course) were at the pool, the Easter Bunny came and hid eggs in our back yard. When the kids came home from the pool, they were so excited to hunt for the eggs. The rest of the day was spent making strawberry jelly and the kids played.

The cousins - Landon, Will, Abram and Katie. It's a miracle to get all four of them to look at the camera.

Mommy, Landon, Will and Daddy

We haven't had a picture of the two of us in a really long time. It was nice to have someone take it for us.

The entire Morgan/Fletcher crew.


Happy egg hunter!

Abram, Katie and Landon opened there eggs on the trampoline. This was a favorite place for the cousins to hang out. We found them jumping, playing with cars, eating there snack and one time we caught them trying to take a nap.....funny kids.

Will didn't want to open his eggs with Landon, Abram and Katie as he was afraid they would take his eggs. Will is really funny about "his stuff" these days. Everything that he likes and doesn't want Landon or anyone to touch it can be found under his bed.

God has truely blessed our family!!

HAPPY EASTER!!
