Remember him?

Jasper got to celebrate his first Arbor Day... and got a stick to plant.

We have a HOUSE!!!!

With a big, beautiful yard!

I ate the Easter Bunny...

...more like 5 of them. We had a great Easter Weekend. On Saturday morning Justin helped me make some Easter cupcakes, then we took off for a Egg Scramble at Kensington Metro Park. It's the same thing we did last year but they had it at a different location, Maple Beach. They also split the kids up in to little ones and biggens, which was nice.

They had the farm show again and lucky Nathen got to go up on the stage and get 'attacked' by a pig! They had a pen with some other animals in it, Jasper loved the pony and the baby pig(that is until the farmer made him scream). And since Jasper's too little to watch anything for extended periods, I took him down to the water and he wanted in it so bad, I can't wait till I can take him to the beach, he's going to love it. Another Jasper new, they have a set of stairs going up to the concession stand and he climbed them!!!! (He also climbed up my the stairs at my Dad & Connie's) I'm not sure where he learned to do this. We don't have stairs and either does my mom's house...

After we went over to Thomas' parents for dinner. Always a pleasure, plus Jasper got to join us at the table for the first time.

Sunday was just as enjoyable. Jasper found his Easter Basket lickety split. And had a grand old time making a mess with the eggs filled with puffs.

We went over to my mom's for breakfast quiche and cupcakes. Jasper did not have as much luck finding his basket at Grammie's... there are to many kitty-kat distractions. Later in the day we went to Dad & Connie's for Dinner, where there was more dessert then food. Both were delicious.

Hoppy Days!

8 Months Old

Jasper is a beautiful being. He's pretty funny, too...

I can't even believe that Jasper is already 8 months old... Even though I look at him and he seems older. He has more and more mobility every day it seems. He went up stairs today... where'd he learn to do that!?! He has been working hard on his walking as well. He does great with his push toy, he just doesn't know what to do when he hits the wall/couch. He's also getting brave these days. He's been letting go. He's already at the point where he pulls himself up and holds on with one hand. So now it's on to no hands!

He loves it outside. Walks, grass, or sand. Loves it.

He thinks the noise your hands make as you lather up soap is the bee's knee.

He's learning baby signs. No well, but still. He thinks I'm funny when I do them at least.

He has a sly smile and he knows how to use it.

He loves to play chase and he always stops every yard or so to make sure your still chasing him.

On Friday, at work I was taken out for lunch and given a card for secretaries day... and well Jasper's in that clingy faze... So when I stepped out of the room(for to long I guess) and came back it was soggy and missing parts(can't find them... assuming they'll come out. (:) But he had that sly smile like he knew but that's what I get for leaving him. And I know he's too young to say he did it on purpose but that's what that face said!

He is something. Something special.

That was boring. -Nathen

Thomas took us on a little family trip to the Cranbrook Insitute of Science yesterday. I liked it. We also when out to eat where Jasper got to try my Oreo Milkshake for the first time, which he loved in case you couldn't guess!

Banksy

This is some work by the graffiti artist Banksy. Enjoy.

Fruit of Love

I want this, if anyone can figure out how to obtain one of these, please let me know. I've googled my little heart out!

He'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way...

...I know where I'm hiding Mr. Jude's Easter Basket.
