the hunt

 

Joe’s cousin, Olivia, and her family visit every year for Easter. Its something we always look forward to. The kids have so much fun and we just have a blast hanging out as family.

This year they stayed for an entire week! They had spring break so they figured, why not?

Easter is just so much more fun when there’s a TON of kids for the egg hunt. Its like a mad dash! Love it.

The Dad’s hide the eggs every year while the Mom’s get the kids ready to go and get the cameras warmed up.

Travis understood what was going on this year so it was a lot of fun to watch him hunt.

family photo

I NEVER remember to take a family photo on Easter in all our Easter outfits so I’m really excited that I did it this year.

We set up the tripod in our backyard, and it was sprinkling a little so we were in a hurry but we quickly snapped about 20 photos – I remembered to hide the remote behind Joe’s back this time -

and this is what we ended up with. Not too shabby!!

 

Happy Easter!

Love, The Doxeys

Happy Easter! The boys were excited to find out that the Easter Bunny made a stop at their house.

Travis was PUMPED about his Peeps, he carried them around everywhere.

Enoch got Sea Spray (transformer), new Shawn White Clothes (his third outfit now), underwears, a new Hex bug and candy.

Travis got Optimus Prime (he kept saying, “Prime? Prime?), a McQueen outfit and Toy Story 3 outfit, socks, the Cars blu ray and candy.

Prime? Prime?

“No look! I got Sea Spray! Isn’t he awesome?”

Travis came home from church, crawled up on the couch and just fell asleep. It was too cute.

I had to share this – I was setting up our tripod for our family pictures and asked Enoch to stand in front so I could gauge where I wanted us to be and get it all focused, etc.

This was his pose the entire time… Love him!

Cave of the Winds

My photos really don’t do this place justice, I wish Joe had been there to take amazing photos! To get the real affect, you just need to go for yourself.

It was a lot of fun.

Travis loves to draw, he’ll draw on anything and he’ll draw for hours. It’s the cutest thing. He’s concentrating SO hard. I couldn’t resist taking this photo though -

He holds his pencil so well.

This might be why Joe doesn’t play the guitar as often anymore. It was so cute.

lots of catching up

I have some fun posts so try and keep up! ; )

April Zoo Trip

If anyone can tell me what kind of plants these are, that would be awesome. They were SO pretty.

April 2011 010

Probably the second time we’ve seen the wolves and we’ve been zoo members for three years now.

The Orangutans were social. This guy came right up to the glass and started snacking right in front of Enoch. It was cool.

Can you see the baby? She was SO cute!
