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!

For My Papa

 These are for my Papa, look no headband.........Just a little clip!!! I love you Papa!

Our New Yard

 The past two weeks we have made major leaps towards finishing our backyard.  They finished the fence this past week and finished leveling the backyard this weekend.  We just have rock to finish and then Jay can fabricate gates for us!  I am so excited to have gorgeous gates made by Jay for our home!!!

 Jay let the boys play with leftover PVC pipe.  Conner had a sword and Jack..... well we think it was suppose to be a telescope then he might have decided to be a unicorn!  We never know with that kid!

 Burning off energy... my favorite activity of theirs!

 Jack is finally into smiling for the camera! Most the time its his cheeseball smile!

 And Sissy just watched the boys play!!! It was so nice yesterday that we spent 3 hours outside! 

 We always have to have a goofy smile!

 Here is the size of our new backyard.....

huge!!!!  We can't wait to put grass in once the water is turned on.  Thank you Jay for putting it all together and getting it started!!

Cousins

So here they are, the newest additions to the Alderman side of the family!!!  Stella Jo - 6 weeks, and Otto Hank 3 months!!! Otto is at such a fun age, he cooed up a storm to us and was looking for the boys the entire time he was up!

Stella at 1 month

 I can't believe our little girl is already one month old (ok, today she is more like 6 weeks)!!! She is growing up so fast and we are enjoying every minute of it!

 Grandma Pauline made the headband she is wearing!  She started screaming shortly after these two were taken.  Anytime she screams and has something on her head, Jay swears its the headband or clip that caused it!

 The boys LOVE to get there picture taken with "Sissy"! You won't hear Stella much around our house, just the boys yelling Sissy!
