Happy Easter!

April Showers

Tub time!

Me & Holden...32 weeks

never took a full "body shot" with Harper, pardon the tub toy mess!

We bought our first Popsicles of the season, realizing quickly why they are a wonderful "outdoor treat"!but always tasty, any time of the year!

Harper had her last week of Young Athletes for the year, it will start back up in November, hopefully more fun photos to come later in the year! She really did love the few times we went this spring.

We were invited over to dinner on Sunday night at the Browns. They have a beautiful new dining room table that we were lucky enough to help "break in"!

After dinner, Mike joined Elliott and played some Wii games

So, a relatively busy weekend, for us anyway! Yucky weather, but spring is in the air, the warmer temperatures are coming soon, right? Looking forward to spending this Easter Sunday with family & friends. Have a great week :)

Wonderful Weather!

It was in the mid 70s on Sunday morning! We decided to head out for a nice, long walk & then hit up the playground, what a great way to spend the morning!

Later in the afternoon, I decided that it was about time Harper got her first pedicure :) We painted our toes in the dining room - what an adventure! Mama + Harper's coordinating toes...

Elliott's Birthday Dinner

Elliott Brown is 9! Holy cow, can't believe it! We were invited to celebrate with him & his family last night. We were treated to dinner at Gengi Steakhouse! Such a fun night with great friends :) Harper absolutely adores Elliott (and his entire family!), we were so delighted to be able to share in his celebration...Happy Birthday Elliott!

April Already?

Now that Harper is 2, she is old enough to participate in the "Young Athletes Program". This is a program run by students at UNO and is held at Elite Cheer every Sunday. We've gone the past two weeks & Harper just loves it. She has time to run & play with other kids her age, as well as sneaking in a little PT. This picture was before her first week, looking athletic, don't ya think?

Harper is quite the helper around the house, this weekend, she really got into sweeping!

In other "growing up!" news, Harper was graduated to Toddlers at church this week. No more nursery for this girl! We celebrated her move, as well as the amazing spring weather on Sunday with a new outfit :)

Today is Mike's birthday!

Happy 35th Daddy!

We love you - Harper & Mama/Wifey

Marching along...

We're working on Harper improving her self-feeding skills...

Of course, she's got her mama's sweet tooth, so sugary desserts (chocolate pudding!) are always a delicious way to motivate Harper :)

Our big girl moved into her "big girl" bed this month. Now the crib is ready for Holden!

She has done so well in it, only one falling out of bed accident to date (and that was kinda my fault! whoops...). I've (finally!) stopped rocking her to sleep - waaaaay more difficult for me than for her. Now, Mike & I take turns laying her down in bed for the night, listening to quiet music & rubbing her back.

Last night we met up with the Brown girls for yogurt at Red Mango!

We had great time! Harper enjoyed playing with all of the treasures in Sara's bag!

Hope you have a great weekend! Jaeme

Great Wolf Lodge Adventure!

Sunday, March 6th, we headed down to Kansas City to experience the Great Wolf Lodge!
It's an indoor water park & hotel all in one...Dad & Harper ready to go!

Harper is such a good traveler these days! She napped, read books & listened to music the whole way down. She's does a great job of keeping herself entertained.

Suit & cover up on, we got checked in & into our room. It was on to the park!
No pictures of the water adventures though, we thought it'd be best to enjoy the time without worrying about a camera!

After we went swimming & had dinner, Harper changed into pajamas & we went down to the lobby for story time. She did (eventually) put on her pants before we headed down... ;)

New swimsuit from Great-Grandma Dody, ready to head out & swim again!

Here she is, clearly thrilled to be in yet another picture with her mother!

We had a great time on our family getaway! Harper especially enjoyed her time in the lazy river! Relaxing on an inner-tube is not a bad way to spend a Sunday evening...looking forward to returning once Harper is a little bigger & has a baby brother to join her in the fun!
