Palm Spring 2012

These photos are in no particular order.  We went to Palm Springs in April this year.  We had a BLAST!!! Jay and I were not ready to come home at all.  It was hard to leave and thats very unusual for us!  Thank you to Memay and Papa for all the good times, we love you more than you know!!!

 Stellas first time in the pool!!

 All Jack wanted to do was go "up"!

 Conner loved this little boat.  It had holes in the bottom for his feet so he moved all over the pool by himself. 

 Conner was so excited to have a "Spiderman" hat!

 Memay and Jack at Starbucks!

 Conner's first interaction with a girl his age.  Yes, there was a little flirting going on!

 He was out like a light!

 Jack doing the dishes with Memay!

 Jack got new Crocs with Lego's on them.

 Conner and his first ever pair of flip flops!  He was in love with them because they were spiderman.  Thank you Memay!

 Feeding/Snack time!

 Making lemon juice with Memay.  One of our favorite things to do is to go all around the golf course and pick fresh fruit!

 These were taken at the airport in Pasco before we left!

 Conner talking with Sissy!

 Jack loves to hold Sissy!

 Conner with Memay and Papa while the other two were sleeping!

 I couldn't get this one to flip, this was Jack's big owie for the trip!

This is the view out of Memay and Papa's condo.  This year is the first year they have owned the unit.  It was a blast!!!  We had a wonderful vacation!! Thanks again!!!

Quilts

Jay's mom has done it once again, three BEAUTIFUL quilts.  Pauline made a quilt for Conner, Jack, Mac, and Otto that are all the same.  They were a car theme and very fitting for all the boys.  Stella's quilt has adorable bunnies and a very soft pink back to it.  I am very lucky to have a mother-in-law that makes such AMAZING quilts!!! Thank you Pauline/Grandma, we love you lots!!!!

Alderman Cousins

 Here are the two latest and greatest Alderman cousins! Aren't they getting big! Otto is 5 months and Stella is 3! 

 And here are all the little munchkins!  This is the best I can do for getting all five at the same time. 

 Otto, 5 months - Stella, 3 months - Mac, 2 years today (Happy Birthday Mac!!!) - Conner, 3 1/2 years - Jack, 2 years!

 And the three musketeers!!!

We have been very lucky to have Otto and Mac come play alot lately.  Five kiddo's is a handle full but tons of fun!!!

Conner's School Performance

 Conner's School had an Easter performance.  Jay wasn't going to make it but he surprised Conner and showed up.  Conner was so excited to see him.  He usually ignores us when they are getting on stage but this time he was so excited that Daddy made it that we got a big smile and wave!!!

 Unlike his Christmas performance, Conner sang each song and recited his poem perfectly!!! It was so fun to watch him and to see how much he has grown this school year!

 After the performance they had an Easter egg hunt outside!

Easter Weekend

We had a very low-key Easter weekend.   On Friday, My mom had sent the boys an Easter package.  It included Spiderman Sheets for both the boys.  They are very into super hero's right now, especially Spiderman or as Jack says it, "Spidy"! 

 Saturday was an Easter egg hunt put on by the Homeowners Association in our neighborhood.  It was held at the park just down the street from our house.  Conner had a great time but Jack was a little intimidated by all the people!  After the hunt there was a bbq in the park.  It was a little windy, but all in all it was alot of fun. 

Saturday night we had dinner at Calin and E's house.  It was very busy with the three older boys running around.  Otto laid on his mat and talked up a storm.  All the kids are getting so big so fast!

Preschool 2012

I am a little behind on "blogging"  so the next couple of days will be my attempt to catch up!  Here are Conner's preschool pictures. Enjoy!
