Jazz Explosion Concert---May 2011

Austin participated in a Jazz Band at the Cincinnati Prep School this school year and loved it. You have to try out for it, so we are SUPER proud of him and here he is at his final performance. Whatcha think of the hat? ;)

VOA Park / Paddle Boating---May 2011

We decided to take the kids Paddle Boating at VOA Park...just a few miles up the road..while Austin was at a friends house. They loved it...but poor Daddy...his legs were burning by the time we were done...with all that paddling (pedal pushing)






Mommy off in the distance...I fizzled out half way thru because it was FREEZING!

Easter---April 2011

Dye the easter eggs time!




Easter afternoon our cousins from Dayton,Ohio, the Izu family came and had waffles with fruit toppings and whipped cream! Then they played a really fun game with us called Headbanz...fun stuff!!

Spring Break---April 2011

Winter sticks around for a VERY long time here in Ohio...so for Spring Break we went about 8 miles up the road to a fun place called The Great Wolf Lodge. This place has an amazing indoor water park (and hot tubs for Mom)and really fun rooms to stay in (you have to stay in a room to use the water park). The kids LOVED all the slides and ran their little legs off each day we were there. It was a nice break.






This is the family ride...they are just coming down here...


Here they are...couldn't get a good pic...moving way too fast!


Wave pool!


On our way home...a pic in the room and by the lobby fireplace...






Daddy also took the boys to a Reds game...they had awesome seats thanks to Givaudan, the company Daddy works for. Here they are at the game. Mom and Audrey went shopping and out to dinner! :)

Audrey's 5th Grade Musical---April 2011

Audrey had to dress like a teenage girl in the 1950's for her musical....I think she looks so stinkin cute! She did a great job singing "You Ain't Nothin But a Hound-dog" with her friends!!
