yard work


cleaning the yard is a family affair, Jasper loves to use his "mower", but that doesn't last long until he is off to something else...that rake looks like it needs some help.

now that is a great yard boy! he liked to pick up the leaves more than the sticks, but hey, he was helping!

got enough, don't want it to get to heavy

and on to the tarp, don't you wish you had such a handsome, helpful little boy around your house?!?!?!?
Easter party at the church was lots of fun, big little sis even tagged alone for the fun.
duck, duck, goose any one?
it rained so we had to hunt eggs inside, the choir room made a great hunting ground!

Our new little friend...Ellie, don't you just love her name?! A good time was had by all! We went to see grandmother and grandaddy on Easter morning. Jasper noticed all the children getting up to head out for children's church, so we had to go with them. He is getting so big, he enjoyed the Easter story, they used the "eggs". It helped to keep the kids involved. A great time was had by all!

New words...

Seems like Jasper is trying more words this week, so far we have bye-bye, baby, mama, da,nite-nite, bird, more, toot toot, meow, moo, arf. We bought a piggy bank at the dollar tree the other day, I thought it would be nice for him to start learning about saving. He not only learned that money goes in the bank, but is learning to say money and how to make himself understood when he wants it. He still needs to work on the part about understanding there is only so much at one time.
And "ish", we bought a blue beta fish a couple of weeks ago and he loves to watch him eat and swim around.
