Last Week of School

Cason's class read Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie this year and had a Little House day. They all dressed as characters from the books and had lunch from foods talked about in the books. Cason said it was the best day ever! 

They were asked to bring an item that we don't use today and tell about it. Cason brought a big chisel that was used on logs. .

Emory has been learning about the Solar System this year and her end of year Science project included a field trip to the public library to research her assigned planet and then to the SFA Planetarium. Part two of the project was to make a poster and snack representing their planet as well as give a presentation. She decided on taking beans because Venus is made up of layers of gas, thus Venus gassy beans!!

She was so excited and did a great job presenting Venus to her class. 

Last day of 1st and 3rd grade!

Soccer

The kids finished up soccer last week. Emory was on the Pink Flames this year and Cason Blue Thunder. They both played well and improved from last year. 

Pink Flames after their last game. They won! Emory played goalie during the first half and blocked several goals and then forward during the second half and scored a goal! 

Blue Thunder at their last practice! Cason played all positions this year. He blocked may goals and made several too! 

After Cason's last game his team had a swim party.

Puddles

A couple of weeks ago Eli got distracted at Cason's soccer game. 

We had 3 games that weekend and Eli went through just as many pants!

Eli went and sat down too, he wanted to be like a big kid! 

Cason had a very fun time at his birthday party! He was worn out from all the bouncing and running around like a wild man! 

Volcano Friday

Emory's class has been learning about volcano's and today is Volcano Friday! The kids made volcano's at home and they are going to erupt them all at school today! 

It has been a busy week but we were able to get one made after GAs/RAs Wednesday night. The color didn't turn out quite right but it will be red with lava soon! 

Mickey's Birthday Bash

Last Saturday was Eli's 2nd birthday and we celebrated with a Mickey Mouse birthday party! 

I am glad I saved these from Cason's 2nd birthday party and that I found them! 

Eli had a blast!

He loved opening presents, eating cake, hunting Easter eggs and playing outside. 

Aunt Shirley got Eli several new books. He loves books but is rough on them. His books looked well loved, so he was happy to get new ones! 

Eli has the opening presents thing figured out! 

Singing Happy Birthday to Eli! 

Blowing out his candle! 

I think he smiled all day, he had such a good time at his party! 

2 Years Old

Eli Grant you are 2 years old! 

I can't believe you are already 2, seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital. You weigh 27.4lbs (58th percentile) and are 35 1/4 inches tall (71st percentile). You take after your big brother and are quite the little comedian. You love to laugh and make others laugh, you love books, diggers, being outside and hats. You still do not sleep through the night. You are a very light sleeper and once you are awake you want to sleep with me. You are a little snuggle bunny. You continue to talk up a storm and probably say "what's that" a thousands times a day. You are wearing 24 months/2t clothes, a size 5/6 shoe and size 6 diapers. You have really started showing an interest in using the potty chair, so I think we will be trying pull-ups next time. The other day at the soccer fields you through quite the fit because I would not let you use the porta potty like Bubba. You love your Bubba and Sissy and are usually one step behind them. Your Bubba calls you Little Dude and it is starting to stick! Happy Birthday Little Dude we love you!
