Kids bdays part 2

On Saturday the kids had friend parties -- Sully in the AM, Harper in the PM. I made cakes for their friend parties. ...and then helped with the logistics of getting the kids to and from. T's sister Melanie, Brian and baby Abram arrived on Friday night to take part in the fun of birthday weekend.

While H was enjoying her puppy cupcake cake party, Sully enjoyed watching Rescuebots from the comfort of his new jeep.

Saturday night was early bedtime for all .....as another party was on tap for Sunday.

My parents arrived on Thursday to experience a late season snow. ....and to celebrate bdays with the kids. Sully opened some gifts, as it was his actual bday. Then we had dinner and went out for ice cream to mark the occasion.

Sully was not that interested in his new big boy bike, so Harper gave it a ride in the house...

other April stuff

Sully played with cars. He created a massive traffic jam.

Jordy played with cars too.

T played with Jordy.

April trips...

A couple work trips in April mean the month went by pretty fast.

Atlanta -- a dolphin downtown and storms clouds on the way out.

Des Moines -- wind farm

Lots of winter weather in April

I seem to recall an unusually wintry April. H was supposed to take a bike riding class, which was cancelled due to icy pavement. We built a snowman.

And Jordy chased the snow from the snowblower.....

Aziz!

We went to see Aziz Ansari at the State Theater. He did not disappoint. I don't frequently attend comedy shows (although I did twice in April), but he was hilarious. Hilarious.

He allowed the audience one 2 minute window to take photos. Hence the rather blah photo there. Then he said we had to sit back and pay attention. Totally worth it.
