2nd Grade Garden

2nd Grade is responsible for the school garden and along with Mr. Jobe (volunteer grandparent) they work in the garden all year. They have grown different kinds of lettuce, cabbage, carrots, beans and onions. The garden is probably favorite thing. He has already told me we have to go work and pick things this summer.

Evan found a few carrots. 

They grew giant cabbages. Cason was impressed that they were all bigger then everyone's head. The kids were able to bring veggies home throughout the year they also used them in their boxcar stew from the Boxcar Children books.  Cason will miss the garden next year. 

2nd Grade Egyptian Day

Friday was Egyptian Day for Cason's class. They have been learning about Egypt all year and were excited for the day! 

My little Pharaoh!

The kids had lunch with Egyptian like foods, partook in an archaeological dig, made papyrus art, and watched a movie. It was a fun filled day!

Check-ups

On April 16th Cason and Eli both had their annual check-ups. 

Eli isn't very cooperative with getting his weight and height measured, so his wiggly weight and height were 38 inches tall (65th percentile) and 31.4 pounds (50th percentile). 

Cason is continuing to grow, although he is still playing catch-up since his zero growth between 6 and 7 years and his Celiac's Disease diagnoses last June. 

Cason weighed 51.2 pounds (25th percentile - 7 pound gain from his 7 year old check-up) and is 3' 10.5 inches tall (5th percentile - 2 inch gain from last year). He goes to see his specialist's this month and the plan is to recheck his blood levels. Everyone still feels his intestine is healing, as he has grown tremendously in the last year, however the blood work will tell us more. 

Fredonia 5/10

Bradley and Emory ran the Fredonia 5K today. Emory was 3rd in the overall female and Bradley 2nd in his age group. They both won a metal! 

FBC Easter Egg Hunt

Last Sunday we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at church. It was a beautiful day!

I went with Eli and Bradley with Emory and Cason, therefore I only have pictures of Eli. 

Eli had been looking forward to hunting Easter eggs for days and was super excited. He found a bucket full and had a blast. 

After the hunt we went inside for snacks and crafts. 

Eli enjoyed the gummy worms the most! 

Emory found one of the golden eggs this year and won a chocolate cross. Cason did not handle her winning to well and decided to pout and miss out on the rest of the fun, even though he has found a golden egg the past 2 years. He eventually got over it! 

Cason's 8th birthday party

Last Saturday we celebrated Cason's 8th birthday with a wild birthday party at Nibco. 

The camera lens on phone cracked so the photos are not the greatest, but they show how much fun he had with all his friends. 

The ropes and foam pit are his favorite 

Evan and Drew ready to jump!

I attempted a semi-group picture. This was about half the group. 

Presents Presents Presents 

Annalise gave him a very funny card with cats singing. It was a huge hit! 

Cake time! 

Everyone seemed to have a blast.

Happy late birthday CASON!!

Eli Turns 3

Eli you are THREE! 

We celebrated your birthday on your birthday with a small family party after church. Mimi and both Pawpaw's came to celebrate. 

Eli you are your brother's mini me. You love tractors, bulldozers, diggers, steam rollers, and all kinds of farm equipment. You love to dig in the dirt and work with your tools. You are always fixing something. You are very sweet and very opinionated. Your vocabulary is quite large and you are always surprising me with new words that I had no idea you even knew. 

You love Paw Patrol and chose a Paw Patrol birthday party this year. You had a blast opening your presents. 

You love your Ruble on the Double Ultimate Rescue Digger. You have played and played with it. 

Paw Patrol birthday cake. 

We had a great time celebrating Eli!
