Jack's Fifth Birthday

Jack turned 5 last month.  He had a pretty good day.  After preschool, we met his school friends at the park for pizza and cupcakes.

Charlie was so excited to celebrate Jack's birthday.  He wasn't so excited to learn he wouldn't be getting any cake.

After the park, we went home so Patrick and Charlie could nap.  Then we opened presents.

We went to dinner at Steak n' Shake (Jack's favorite) with Grandma and Grandpa.  Then, we went to swimming lessons.

It's hard to believe he's five!

All Stars March 2012

We went up to Milwaukee at the end of March (it was our third trip to Wisconsin in less than 2 months).  On our way, we saw some neat clouds in the sky.  Here is a picture I took from the car as we were driving down the highway.

Jim's sister Karen organized an All Star show at a local bar.  Three bands each played music for 45 minutes.  Jim was in a band with his brother Paul, sister Karen, and two other people.

Me with my favorite rock star!

The boys love to see their cousin Colin when we go to Milwaukee!

 We stopped at a rest stop on the way home, and I took this picture of Charlie.  I love it, and have decided it will be his "official" 6 month picture.

Birthday at Preschool

I got to go to Jack's birthday celebration at preschool last week.  He wore a Happy Birthday crown. 

We enjoyed some delicious donut holes.

After his class sang "Happy Birthday," he blew out his candle.

We went back to a classroom for some dancing and storytime.

Then, Jack got to be the line leader when it was time to leave.  It was a fun day!

Strummin'

Last week, Jim was invited to play guitar for Jack's preschool.  Jack got up in front of his classmates to introduce his Daddy.

Jim taught the preschoolers about the guitar and played several songs for them.  Jack was beaming!

Jack was so proud of his Daddy!

Patrick, Charlie, and I came to watch the show.  After taking several pictures of Jim and Jack, Patrick wanted me to take a picture of him.  I gladly obliged.

Too Long

I don't have access to the rest of my pictures from February, so I don't know if they will ever make it to the blog world.  I do have a few recent pictures to share, and hopefully I can become a regular blogger again.  

Grandpa came to Grandparent's Day at Jack's preschool.  Jack was so excited!  He wore a tie!  Jack and his classmates sang songs for the grandparents and enjoyed snacks and a tour of the school.

 

Charlie is 6 months old!  It's amazing how time flies!  He is a sweet boy and rarely fusses.  He recently (within the last week) started sleeping through the night!  His naps are much better, too.  He has started solid foods and is doing well so far.  His big brothers love him (sometimes it seems they show a little too much affection for him).

Jim was scheduled to work last Saturday (St. Patrick's Day), but managed to switch with someone and we were able to celebrate as a family.  The weather was awesome.  We met up with some of my family at my cousin's house in Dogtown and then we were in the parade.  Jim pushed Patrick in a stroller and Jack, Charlie and I rode on a float.  Jack loved throwing beads to the crowd.  I hope to post another picture and maybe a video later.
