Preparing for Easter
Yesteday (Saturday) morning, we had the wonderful privilage of getting our family pictures made with my favorite photographer and dear friend of mine Allison Rupp (http://www.photoalli.com/). She is so amazing! I just love her work! You can definintly see her artistic side when she gets behind that camera and she is so good with the kids and getting shots of them being natural! Thanks Allison for making this such a wonderful experience!

Jump Zone
Since I had to hang out with Ariel most of the time, I just let Caleb go. We were there with some other kids that he knew so that helped out a ton. He basically played with them on all the slides and jumpers the whole time. I did have my friend Ranae watch Ariel for me for a few minutes so that I could go on one obstacle with slides with Caleb. I took the camera along and got these three shots. The first one is of me at the top of the slide (with Caleb waiting for me at the bottom) after climbing the wall in second picture. It was so fast, that it took my stomach away and it wasn't even the highest slide! The third picture was Caleb going down it by himself, all you can see is a blur because he was going so fast.
These were the kids favorites:
Ariel's was the gumball moonwalk. It had balls inside that you could throw and she would jump to them and try to pick them up. She loved it as long as there wasn't bigger kids in it. They would usually knock her down, not by pushing, but by just jumping and making her lose her balance.
She felt so proud of herself when she would climb out of the gumball moonwalk all by herself!
This one was Caleb's favorite. It was called the "Kraken" and it was a huge octopus on top of a pirate ship trying to pull it under. The slide was SUPER fast and it was 23 feet up in the air. I couldn't get any shots of it because he went so fast!
We had a ton of fun, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to wear their kids out before a nap! http://jumpzoneparty.com/

Easter Egg Hunt
We had our once a month Toddler Toes Playdate today at Park Springs park in Bentonville. It was a beautiful day. The high was somewhere around 70 degrees today! We all got the kids together and let them run around and hunt for some easter eggs. I tell ya, it is hard to let two kids run after eggs! I couldn't keep up with both of them to take pictures and Ariel had never done this before so she needed my help so I decided to just keep close to Ariel and let Caleb just GO!! Well I was so wrapped up in helping Ariel that when I looked over at Caleb, he was sitting in the grass with three eggs looking inside them while all the other kids were running around getting all the eggs. I asked him why he was sitting and he said that he wanted candy....NOW! I told him that if he didn't get up and go find more eggs then that was all the candy he was getting. So he got up and found some more...silly boy!
I begged Caleb to come and get in this picture with Ariel and I and he just wouldn't do it. Good thing I will be getting some easter pictures of the whole family done in about a week!

So glad to get to the park and let the kids play. We have been so tired of doing indoor activities!!

Play-DUH!
I got the brilliant idea the other day to get the play-doh out and let Caleb play a while so that I could get dinner started. I decided to put Ariel in her high chair and let her color while she watched her brother play with something she couldn't have. SMART! She didn't like that idea AT ALL! She wanted to squish her hands all in it and make a mess and give me pretty colors in her diaper! Well, we ended up compromising with me letting her just play with the play-doh toys. That at least kept her contnent for about 15 minutes or so!

In Daddy's Shoes
My silly girl is obsessed with shoes! She even decided that Daddy's shoes went well with this outfit! Oh and don't mind the nap hair...this is what it normally looks like after she pulls her bows out!
