Harper loved her evening at Power Play with Grandpa, Aunt Sheila , Aunt Sharon and Cousin Jared. She especially loved her endless train rides and all the tickets she won from the arcade games. Jared was a thoughtful cousin and cashed in his tickets for a stuffed animal for Harper. We had a tough time getting her out of that place. We enticed her by telling her we were going to eat cheeseburgers at a place called Fritz’ s where your food is delivered to your table by a train-she loved it.
Happy Easter!

Here are half of the Easter pics. They all didn’t download for whatever reason so I’ll add more later.
Playdates
March 31, 2012Since Harper was feeling better this week she had 3 play dates. She looks forward to her play dates but most of the time she is typically off doing her own thing. She is still in the independent play stage or side by side playing, but at times, I am found apologizing for her snatching toys from her buddies:) She is definitely improving which is a good thing before her little sister arrives!
Making the most of the indoors
March 29, 2012Between the two of us being sick and a lot of cold rainy weather this past week Harper is still enjoying all her fun toys indoors. We did lots of painting, made Easter cards, practiced the ‘memory’ game on her ipad, she attempted to fix her elephant game (she gets that from her dad) and we baked a lot. She is so good about entertaining herself and will play by herself an hour at a time, which i think is pretty good at this age. Having fun toys always helps. She loves the circus tent aunt katherine and uncle joe bought her. She also enjoys playing with her water table that Great grandma Thibault sent. her. She loves all the books Grandma Ault sends her each week for the “book of the week club’ that grandma Ault started after seeing how obsessed she is about books, along with all the sesame street/farm toys/thomas the train/ and books the other grandparents, cousin BB and aunts/uncles/Godmother from KS sent her. Again thank you to all who gave her such great gifts at xmas and for her bday. I am sure I am missing some so I apologize. But she remembers EXACTLY who gave her what and it has really saved me by having such entertaining toys for her to play with during our sick and rainy days.
A balanced diet=A cookie in each hand!
March 29, 2012We had many rainy days this month so last week we decided to embrace the start of spring and make some spring/Easter cookies. Harper loves to bake, just like her mom and also like her mom she enjoys eating them and the icing well before she has finished decorating. She loved wearing her new apron/mit and hat that Aunt Julie made her for her bday and she especially loved that Julie made her doll a matching outfit too. ALL are so Cute!!
Our Little Leprechaun
March 17, 2012Well we got all ready for the big parade in Ventura and due to the rain and me still being sick, we didnt get to go:(I really missed going home this year to kansas and participating in our hometown parade, especially since it actually didnt rain there and it was 70 degrees. Hoping we can go next yr with two little ones in tow.
Gotta love 75 degree winters in Oxnard
March 15, 2012Our website ran out of space, so now that i have purchased more, some of the old drafts are now able to be posted. Again this is from January but there were some cute pics of Harper and Bo so I thought i would still post them . Harper and I spent a Friday morning at the beach and then Bo was able to meet us for lunch at Mrs. Olsens, our favorite restaurant by the beach, the week before he deployed.
Prince or Princess?
March 15, 2012I had to change the post heading for now, until all family members find out the gender. I spoiled it for a few by revealing the gender in the previous heading! ugh.SORRY. Anyway, this is the 3d ultrasound at 4 months. Since the baby is still so tiny there is a lot of fluid in there distorting the pictures so they can be a bit creepy! But after undergoing all the optional chromosomal tests and stressing about them, the doc said all looks good! WHEW. Ill still continue to pray to God for a healthy baby!
