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!

Happy 8th Birthday Cason

On March 28th, Cason turned 8!!

He decided that he needed to open a couple of presents before school so he could better concentrate on his school work! Plus we had a long day that day with soccer until 7:30 pm. 

Laser Tag for the win! 

That afternoon I took ice cream cups and toppings to school for Cason's class to have a late afternoon birthday treat! After school Cason and we ran a few errands before meeting Bradley at Cotton Patch for his birthday dinner. (Emory was on a school field trip until 6:00) Then Cason and I headed to pick up Emory and off soccer we went. 

He finished out the night opening the rest of his birthday presents, which included a new sports coat, airsoft gun set, and 2 Nerf guns! (He also opened a new coin set that morning)

He had a great and busy birthday!!

Rodeo Austin & Nac Steer Show

We spent our Spring Break this year showing animals. Emory took Biscuit Bob (BB) to Austin for her first Major Stock Show. 

She was in the 13th class (15 total classes) and finished 13th or 14th (depending on who you ask) in her class out of 28. It wasn't the outcome we were hoping for because BB didn't make the sale, but we learned a lot and Emory had fun. We were in Austin Monday and Tuesday of Spring Break, then Thursday the Nacogdoches Steer Show began! 

Samson clipped and ready for the show. 

Samson was in the English Class and Emory and him did great in the ring. Samson was very nervous about being at the show. He weighed less then what we were hoping for at weigh in and finished 3rd in the class and 22nd overall. (42 Steers overall) 

It was a very busy and tiring week but I think we all had fun, plus Samson brought $1600.00 in the sale. 

Medieval Feast Day

The first Friday in March was Medieval Feast Day for Emory. The day included skits, presentations, and a huge feast with the Eighth and Eleventh grades. 

Fourth grade parents are responsible for decorating for the feast. It took a couple of hours to set up but the kids loved it. 

The 4th graders!

 They each had to make a shield using symbols they had learned about. Emory worked very hard on her shield. 

Mrs. Bryant, the art teacher, turned  the window into a "stain glass" window for the feast. It was beautiful! 

The kids ate with their hands of course. They had different kinds of meat, soup, fruit, bread and desserts. 

Emory in her medieval costume before school. She had a blast and loved the day!!

Emory's 10th Birthday Party

Emory had a joint birthday this year with her friend and classmate Olivia, whose birthday is the 19th. So the Friday after Emory's birthday we celebrated their birthdays at the new ceramics place in town. We just invited the girls from their class, so it was low key but fun!

It was a unicorn themed party. The girls all got matching shirts and painted unicorns! 

After the girls finished painting the unicorns headed to the kiln and they continued celebrating with pizza and cake. 

We all had a great time!
