Spring Sing

Let it be remembered that Sarah had an awesome first grade teacher & an amazing school year. My Sarah works so hard, and learned SO much. Wow.

The first grade students put on an awesome Spring Sing with lots of songs, and poems. It was just cute! They learned the songs, made the decorations that were taped to the walls, but they were learning about fun science things too. Learning made fun!  I am pretty sure Sarah's teacher heads it all up=AMAZING Mrs. Z. There are 3 first grade classes up there (btw-I love this school is pretty small. only three 1st grade classes. really-thats nice if you have ever been at a BIG school.)

 Jimmy is always great to leave work and come support the kids & see their programs. He was happy to be there....See it on the picture below!

Spring Fever at the parks

I am so happy when the season changes and it gets warm outside. I love when the kids & I can spend the afternoons outside. We hit up a few parks as SPRING FEVER was setting in!

Different day but same jacket for Sophie....

 Park+swings=UNDERDOG mom! again. again.

 Do you notice her shirt is on backwards? I think it was wacky day at school or something.....

Lost in Space at the Library

We really love the library. (yes even if I did just pay $8 in fines to the library)

It is about half a mile from our house. The library has good, fun, family friendly, free events. In March the library had their big event, LOST IN SPACE. There were lots of activities for the kids to do.

Here they re-used recyclable products to make spaceships.

We even brought along a neighbor to enjoy the fun!

Important Birthdays

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss-Sorry, look sideways. I couldn't figure out how to rotate the pix......

 We did a few activities that day that had to do with Dr. Seuss books. The pix is inspired from the Cat in the Hat. We did something with the books 10 Apples up on Top, and One Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

 And Happy Birthday to the Oreo Cookie!

3 different packages! Yes!

Field Trip: RC Willey Hot Dogs & Aerospace Museum

When the kids didn't have school one day (end of term or presidents day or something), we set out on an adventure. Field trip was free hot dogs at RC Willey, then off to the Hill Aerospace Museum. Some friends joined us on the adventure, so it was a free, fun afternoon. 

 Yes-we ate on chairs. There was not any room at the tables. Two crazy moms with 7 kids tucked off to the side by a stack of chairs eating hot dogs and spilling drinks. Guess this free hot dog thing is a big deal at RC Willey! LOL!

 Airplane museum time!

 I was not going to pay $2 or whatever for the photo booth photo's. So I held the camera up and shot these pix of the kids in the booth. I got the pix I wanted, and still had my $2.

Cold day, but still fun! Thanks Jann & kids.

RV Show

Every year we LOVE going to the RV show. The kids love checking out what trailers have bunk beds and cool layouts, and we like looking at the new designs & features. We are ALWAYS happy with our trailer when we see the prices of a new trailer!
