Spring Break 2015 Camping with Friends and Family

Our hard working boys like to help.

Ethan and Tyler braved the ocean waters. How convenient that the Easter Bunny brought them both boogie boards.

The rest of us preferred the heated pool at the campground.

Easter Morning snuggles.

They boys found a caterpillar during their Easter Egg Hunt 

Lightning McQueen is never far from Levi.

Time to dump them all out and count them.

Easter Dinner

Cowboy Grandpa left Sheldon a $10 bill so he could buy the camper he was asking for in the gift shop. He was one happy grandson.

Exploring Ecola State Park

 After dinner and watching the sunset, we came back to discover Dave's definition of "babysitting."

Birthday Boy

Sheldon is obsessed with trains so we planned a train birthday party. Unfortunately he was sick on his birthday so we had to reschedule his party. I quickly made a homemade cake and Annie still came over for pizza and cake.

This video absolutely melts my heart. Sheldon asks to watch it ALL the time. Try your best to see beyond our crazy, loud family and Tyler's allergies. I love that this was completely unplanned and that Annie was the first person to read his story to him.

Sheldon loves his book. He was sitting on Chris' lap and looking at it during church the other Sunday. It was absolutely silent in the chapel. Sheldon smiled and loudly said to me "I grew in Annie's tummy." I thought my heart was going to burst. I love open adoption!

Some friends and family made it the next weekend when Sheldon was feeling much better.
