April 2012

April was full of so much fun stuff for the family.  Here is a recap of all our adventures! 

We got to go to Six Flags for my company picnic again this year.  This is our 3rd time going, and we felt a little more like pros this time since we knew where to go and what we wanted to do.  Plus it wasn't nearly as hot as it had been last year when we went!  We had a fantastic time, though we knew it was time to go when Jasper had a major breakdown after he missed his nap time.  

The carousel is right near the entrance of the park, so it's always the first place we stop.  The kids love it.

And of course the swings! 

Cool Dude. 

We hit the game area and it took us two tries, but Daddy finally won Harper the Hello Kitty she wanted by winning the water gun game.  As for Jasper, he won the Batman all on his own.  He was throwing darts at balloons and we kept handing them to him so he could throw it with his right hand.  After about 10 tries, he grabbed a dart, then switched it to his left hand.  He popped it on the first try!!!

Taking a break and cooling off by taking a train ride around the park.

He fell asleep on the walk out of the park. Tired boy! 

Here they are both passed out.  I love this picture because they are both clutching the prized they won. 

Here is Daddy having some fun with Play-Doh.

And with added eyeballs.

Here is Harper on the morning of her 4th birthday!!!!!

Here she is in her outfit she picked out to wear on her birthday. Jasper wanted to be in the picture too.  

We took cupcakes to her at school so she could celebrate with her friends there.

We went to Red Robin for dinner.  I lover his picture of them!

Enjoying her birthday sundae.

Showing off one of her cards while opening presents.

Silly girl!

Trying out a new facial - cake frosting.

Jasper wearing his sister's headband.

Harper had been asking for a haircut for a long time, so I finally took her to the kid-friendly salon.  She loved every second of it!  

The stylist gave her glitter hearts on both cheeks.

Dyeing Easter Eggs!

Holding up the egg with her name on it.

Easter morning.  Our dapper little guy.

Sweet girl at the Butterfly exhibit at the Botanical Gardens.

We finally got some good family pictures!

After nap time, we had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard.

Harper doing what big sisters are supposed to do - put pretend makeup on their brothers.

And Jasper doing what little brothers are supposed to do - sit on their big sisters.

Harper and Jasper were playing "Naptime".  It's hard to tell here, but he was jammed into this weird corner and totally piled up with blankets.

We went to Nash Farm for their spring event.  Here they are making friends with some cows.

Driving the tractor!!

Jasper took his first pony ride. He laughed the whole time! 

Petting zoo!

Jasper was completely enthralled with the horse drawn plow.  He knelt down like this and watched it for a while till the ground.

Tired on the drive home, hanging on tightly to the plane Nana got him.
