April 15th - Tess' Birthday Party

Saturday afternoon we had a great time at Tess' 3rd birthday party. I remember going to her birthday party last year with 6-month-old Jack and looking at all of the kids playing. This time he was able to join in the fun. Here he is in the moonwalk.


It was a Dora the Explorer theme complete with safari hats and binoculars for the kids. Very cute!


There was a long short table for all of the little kids with perfect kid-sized chairs. Jack had about half of a slice of cheese pizza. Yippee!


He loved this log cabin playhouse. What fun!

April 15th - Easter Eggstravaganza


On Saturday we went to the Easter Eggstravaganza at our church. There were hundreds of people there, but Jack did pretty good. The first thing we did is get a balloon. Then we looked at the animals in the petting zoo and we all shared a cherry snow cone. Jack made a scrunched up face with every spoon full of ice, but he kept going back for more.


Here we are waiting for our Easter egg hunt to start. The split it up into 3 different egg hunts so the little kids don't get trampled by bigger kids. Ours was for kids age 3 and younger.


The egg hunt was a bit crazy, but Jack picked up about 8 eggs and put them in our little basket. They were all filled with cloth bracelets.


Although he is known as Happy Jack at school, Jack isn't always happy. We tried to take him on a little train ride, but he didn't think that was such a great idea. We usually only post the best smiley pictures, but every now and then we need to post a bit of reality. This was about the same state of affairs as the day before when Jack got his haircut and cried most of the time. A lady asked Ronny on the way out, "Are you pinching that baby?"

April 9th - A Visit from Nana and Granddad - Part 1

We all went to our neighborhood park for some fun in the sun.




April 9th - A Visit from Nana and Granddad - Part 2


Jack loves to emulate us on the phone. He chatters away, taking breaks to wait for a response. He doesn't need a phone either (although he loves to play with my cellphone!). Any remote control will do. Here Jack has called me on the DVD remote from the cable remote.


All good things must come to an end. This visit ended with a cuddle with Nana and Granddad.

April 8th - Waterpark in the Tub


Jack likes to play in my bathtub and after trying to keep his hands off the faucet knobs several times, I finally decided to let him see what would happen if he turned on the water. He had a grand time! He has a little disk that he got as a party favor from one of his classmates. He would use it to scoop up water into his mouth, most of which ended up down the front of his shirt. He was pretty wet by the time he was done playing.


Jack has been sticking his tongue out a lot lately and I caught this funny picture during playtime in the bathtub.

End of March


I couldn't resist posting this picture.
