It feels like just yesterday I was writing my February Re-Cap.. and now here I am again writing a March re-cap! Wow.. time is just flying by!
March was a fun month for our family... we had lot's of activities going on, so that didn't leave much blogging time!! We did manage to squeeze in a few boat rides, like the picture beloww of Emma, Esther & Kayla:

This is just a random photo I took of Emma while out on the boat. I just love her eyes.. but she looks a bit like an alien! 
Oh.. and then there was that small little accident.. someone (ahem) had. This person feels pretty dumb for backing into their mother's car.. in their own driveway. In this person's defense, it was dark and raining outside so they couldn't see too well. They pretty much crushed the bumper of their mother's car, but there was hardly any damage to their own car. (Let this be said.. Nissan's have crappy bumpers!) Anyways, this person's mother had run into a friend's pick-up truck the year before and messed up the one side of the bumper.. so really this person just sped up the process of having the bumper replaced! =)
During spring break, I went to West Virginia with my church's youth group. The weather was beautiful and I had a ton of fun skiing. I hadn't been skiing in over 4 years, but I was pretty proud thet I only fell twice the entire two days, and even managed to go down a black diamond! However, I didn't get any pictures because I never took my camera out to the slopes, #1 because it wouldn't fit in my jacket and #2 because I was afraid I'd break it.
I came home from West Virginia on Thursday night, and Friday morning we packed up the car and went camping for the weekend! We went with five families that are close friends of ours and had a grand total of close to 50 people. It was such a wonderful weekend, despite the FREEZING 30 degree temperatures at night. (I don't think I've ever been so cold in my life!) We played games during the day, went canoing in the beautiful spring (and got close & personal with several alligators!), had great put-luck dinners and my favorite, sitting around the campfire singing old songs.. and getting into trouble because the curfew at the park was 10 pm and we sang and played past that time!! And the ticks we found once we got home were just an added surprise. (I won this contest since I had 3 and Ian & Elena each had 1.) Click here to see some of the pitures from that weekend.
Then, we came home from camping and Elena went to Tallahassee for a week at a camp called TeenPact. She had an awesome time and didn't want to come home! I tried to get on her computer and steal a picture from her of that week, but she doesn't have any downloaded yet. (Once she does, I'll be sure to add one!)
Ian turned 9 on March 25th!
He celebrated with a bunch of his close friends and had an awesome birthday party at his Karate school! (I'm going to upload some video later)
Here's Ess playing on the slide at our friends house.
We celebrated Ian's birthday again with our bible study group from church on Sunday.
Afterwards, we put together about 10 Easter baskets for children at the local homeless shelter. The kids had a great time making cards, and putting candy and small gifts into the baskets. It's a great way to involve the kids by letting them have fun, but also giving to others at the same time. =)
Emma & Esther contributed their artistic abilities. =)

My neice did the same thing... backed right in to her mom's car! She was mortified but survived the whole ordeal. She didn't have the same situation though... clear, sunny and during the day. In her defense, they do have a crooked driveway! :)
