Misc April 2013

*Written 4/29/14*

We did a lot of things in April, starting with Easter.  Well, technically Easter was at the very end of March this year but I think we're safe to lump it in with April.  Here is Jane in her Easter dress.



This was the first year that she was really able to get excited about having an Easter basket.  I had it ready on the table and she ran into my room when she woke up to say that there were treats on the table!  It was really cute.  We did an Easter egg hunt, too, but for some reason I only have one photo of that:


This was our Easter dinner.
My birthday was April 5th.  I turned 29, but I don't remember much about what happened that day.  Here is Jane opening some presents with me, so I'm pretty sure that it was a good one.




I've been working with my sewing machine these past few months to get ready to make my Comic Con costume.  I did a couple of small projects to get in the swing of sewing.  The first one was this dress for Jane.  I took a bunch of really cute pictures of her.







I also made her a sort of quilted skirt.  It is really twirly and swirly!




Around this time I got my new phone, which takes pretty good pictures.  I had a lot of fun playing with it at the beginning of the month and taking pictures of the kids.





This is just a random dinner but I remember feeling proud of myself
for making it

Jane pulled up this chair and got a book and said,
"Mom, I'm going to read you a story."

On Adam's birthday I figured no one at his office
would realize it, so I made sure to show up
with a bunch of balloons and make a big deal
out of it.



My new phone came with some passes to use the new FrontRunner trains, so we decided to take advantage of it and ride the train up to Salt Lake City with the kids.  It was fun!



Temple Square was beautiful in bloom!







We also checked out the Gateway mall.  There was a beautiful mother's room
where I took Colin to give him a bottle.  It was so quiet!


Of course on the train back home the kids both
fell asleep!

Sleepy boy.

The family got together to take Adam out for a birthday sushi dinner!

Here's Colin with an adorable hat that a friend made for him.

Miss Jane looking so cute.


Being upside down is the best!







Colin has been growing and recently started rolling over!  He giggles and likes to play with small toys.  I have a long video of clips I took of him this month as he played and cooed and talked to himself.  It's all adorable to me, but it is long!



That was April!
