Easter Break at the Beach







We spent spring break at the beach and had such a relaxing time. We took the boat out several times and explored the island and found some big shells. We also took it to get ice cream. Matt and Bobby got to spend some quality time on the boat (inside joke)!!! The weather was great and the kids were so excited to be together and get their suits on again. We can't wait for summer!!!



Easter 2010







This was my favorite Easter thus far!! The weather was great, everyone was healthy, all the Bueno family was together and the kids had a blast!!! We had some awesome meals at Abuela's house and on Friday the kids all got together and we had a picnic, rolled out the slip and slide, and had an Easter egg hunt. On good Friday we went to church and were so blessed to hear a talked by some local scientist on "The Shroud of Turin" which is the proven actual burial cloth or Jesus! This was a truly transforming and faith solidifying moment for me and others. God is so amazing and he is revealing himself to us in science and nature all the time!!! I got an awesome documentary on line that supports the evidence and it is mind blowing!!! We had communion service Friday night and it was so special after virtually seeing the face of our Savior in the cloth. Sunday service was great as well and it was just such a spirit filled weekend. Praise God!!!! Thank you Lord for your abundant love!!!



Riley's Easter party at Monkey Joe's


Riley had great fun at her Easter party at her favorite place: Monkey Joes!!! The kids played for hours and then got some cake and pizza. What else can you ask for!!!

Jayse's Easter Party


Jayse had a fun Easter party at school. Here he is with his best buddy in class, Haden. They just so happened to wear the same color that day! They had a fun Easter egg hunt on the play ground and learned all about this wonderful holiday of the Resurrection!! Praise be to God!!!

Mother-Daughter retreat at Camp Caswell


Skylar and I had a great weekend away at Camp Caswell for the "Faith Girls" retreat. We went with her buddies Kennedy and Alana and their moms. The weekend was full of worship, fun and special alone time with the moms. We spent an extra night at our beach house since we were so close and we got to have some great conversations, good food, and spiritual growth. It is a weekend I will never forget!!

Trip to the Mountains








The kids had a great time seeing family, skiing and sledding in the mountains over winter break! The weather was great and the kids even got their first ski lesson. They were all so natural and begged to go the next day. I think Jayse's favorite part was just sitting and eating the snow. We kept him away from the "yellow snow". Thanks so much to Kathy for allowing us this awesome vacation!!!!


Riley's first art show!!


Riley has her very first art show at home in March to raise money for her first American Girl doll! We were so proud of her that she was able to sell all her art and earned enough money to buy "Felicity". I see a future here!!!
