Here is my attempt to play catch up for the last 4 1/2 months...yikes! Some of the pictures are out of order, but there were just too many to be picky about making sure they loaded right.
JANUARY
Our friends, Cory and Rebekah, came to Florida with their kids. They spent a few days with us and we spent some time at Disney and the beach. It was nice to see them again, and the kids had a blast together.

Mickey looks like he has a choke hold on Jake
LEGO LAND
In February, we went to Lego Land for Lego Friends weekend. Addison had a lot of fun meeting the characters.
They each made a "brick" which was used to build a giant lego heart.
This was the craziest tree I have ever seen!
May
My brother and sister-in-law came to visit. The kids had a blast playing and going to the water park and the beach while they were at our house.
Mason and Jake
Avery, Mason, Jacob and Addison

Nate turned 34 on the 17th. The cake says it all. He really was "Gone Fishing".....all day..
Addison had a birthday party with all of her friends at our neighborhood pool and movie theater
Posing with her Lego Friends cake
Everyone relaxing in the theater while watching Wreck It Ralph
Celebrating her 6th birthday at home with us and Nana and Papa
"Are all these for me??? You shouldn't have!" :)
She was shocked to open her Summer Camp Lego Friends Set
She got an American Girl Doll wheelchair for her doll
She had a Kindergarten zoo field trip on her birthday (she is wearing her birthday crown from her teacher), but we got rained out :(
She loves her daddy!
The Macaws flew right over us
Nana and Jake
My parents rented a convertible, and the kids thought it was so cool to ride with the top down
MARCH
Waiting patiently to (or not so patiently in Jake's case) for the egg hunt
Happy Easter!
Hunting for eggs after church
Love this sweet girl!
Jake loved looking for eggs..such a handsome boy :)
Running to the eggs
Looking for his basket under the train table
He LOVES chocolate!
She thought it was so funny that the bunny hung her basket on the light fixture
Easter party at church
Addison made a leprechaun trap this year for St. Patrick's Day. She didn't catch one, but he left her gold coins, chocolate, and LOTS of gold glitter.
She had to make a costume that represented a vocabulary word, so we made an exclamation mark
