Martin Family Blog: April 2010

This Easter we spent here in Massachusetts with just us... the four of us. Next year there will be five! We have had a great weekend. Saturday we drove to the Forth Cliff Recreation area in the small beach town of Humarock, MA. It was an hour and fifteen minute drive, but we had a great time. The weather was absolutely beautiful! It was so warm even down right by the water where we were it was about 74. Addison participated in her first Easter egg hunt, with a little help from daddy. James had fun finding eggs in the big kid egg hunt and found one of the prize eggs. He also participated in the egg roll game and won first place!
Today, Sunday, James woke up before anyone found all the eggs the Easter bunny hid, opened his basket and ate half his candy! When I came down stairs with Addison he was bouncing off the walls super hyper and excited. I made a big pancake, bacon and egg breakfast that somewhat leveled out the sugar in his system :) Addison didn't get much candy from the Easter bunny, she did get her first toothbrush. We have beautiful sunny warm weather here again today and spent the afternoon at the park that is near our house on the base.
Happy Easter everyone! We love you and miss you all! We can't wait for July!!!!!!!!!!
Get ready for picture overload!!!! :)

Addison's first Egg hunt...She found three eggs with daddy's help!

The beautiful view from the Forth Cliff Recreation area in the small beach town of Humarock, MA. We were excited to find this military only recreation area that has houses we can rent (for reasonable rates) and take a vacation on the coast while we are stationed here in Massachusetts.

James playing the down hill egg roll game. The kids raced down the hill pushing hard boiled eggs with a wooden paint stick.

James got first place!

James found a prize egg in the egg hunt and won an easter basket!

Addison didn't know what to think of the blue peeps, she mashed them a bit and got blue sugar on her fingers!

James and daddy drawing with new art supplies from the easter bunny!

James, Adam and I dyed and decorated eggs.

From the Easter bunny...a puppy that barks, wines and wags it's tail. She loves him. Daddy named him Scruffy!

This year has gone by so fast. I'm pretty much in denial that Addison is a year old alreday! She is still my baby! I know she is on her way to becoming a toddler, but for now, for the next six months at least she will be the baby :) Addie started walking right before she turned 11months. Now she runs everywhere. She loves being outside, she got her first skinned knee last thursday! The weather finally is improving and we have been going out to play as often as we can. Addison was able to share her first birthday with her Nana and Papa who were here visiting. We had planned a party for her, but like James' birthday this year all birthday plans had to be put on hold. We were all sick, including the birthday girl, with a stomach virus on the day of her party. We ended up doing cake a few days later when everyone could stomach it :)
