2nd Grade Egg Hunt

Today was the egg hunt at the school. The 2nd graders were at 9:45am. We started out with a group photo.

Mrs. Morlan gave instructions...first they were to grab 10 each.

Off they went. Olivia went one direction.

Emma went another.

Back to the steps to make sure they got 10 each.

Then off again to collect more. They each ended up with 18.

We adults had to hide them...there were 424 eggs total! We had a lot of eggs just sitting on the grass.

What a blast!

Baskets are full!

Then we headed back to the class for a brunch. Raymond even came to help. The juice boxes were a must for the boys. Marc proudly passed his journeyman test yesterday and they celebrated hard last night...they needed to rehydrate :-)

Quick selfie with Mommy and Emma.

A Mommy and Olivia selfie too.

Malia and Lexie got all dressed up...and wore the same dress even! For the record, they are not twins...or even sisters! What a fun morning! We'll head back to the school at 1:30 for Marcus' egg hunt next!

Home Show

We went to the home show this weekend. They had a Lowe's Kids Corner for the kids to make cool projects. Marcus worked hard...tongue out and everything!

Olivia hammered the nails perfectly...never hit a finger.

Marcus was waiting for Daddy to read the instructions...they actually messed up at first and had to start over...these projects were hard!

Emma tried to do it on her own...Daddy stepped in to help.

Emma got some assistance from Olivia as well.

Daddy and Marcus...such good little builders.

The finished products! Emma built a "Claw" game, Marcus built a "Spooky Stacker" and Olivia built a heart box which included chalk...she could write on each heart with the chalk. They all got to take home projects for a "rainy day" too. What a fun time! Great Job Kids!!!

Twins on the way

Kallie is having twin boys! We went to her baby shower this weekend. Doesn't she look great! We got a picture of our twins with her twins :-)

Her scheduled C-section is April 25th which just happens to be their big brother's 2nd birthday! How crazy is that! Congrats to Kallie and Jordan and big brother Easton! Can't wait to meet little James and Bo!

Garden

Yesterday the kids decided to brave the wind and help get Gramie and Poppi's garden ready. Every kid got a turn with the rototiller. The girls got busy picking rocks out of the garden.

Marcus' turn with the rototiller. That's hard work!

Emma's raking up the dirt and looking for more rocks.

Even little Baylor ran the rototiller. Nice work Baylor!

Elle helped put the rototiller away.

While the other kids stayed behind to do more raking.

Baylor thought it was so cool to work with the big kids.

Best buddies! These two get along so great! It's nice to have another boy cousin around.

Well Gramie! I think your garden is ready for planting!

Great job kids! That was hard work! What a great group!

Vantage

We did not do a big trip for spring break this year. We did decide to go see Gramie and Poppie though since they have been away for 3 months! We stopped in Vantage on our way. We tried to check out the petrified forest exhibits...starting with the petrified tree trunk.

There were dinosaurs too!

Pretty cool.

Olivia posing like the dinosaur.

Marcus looks fierce!

Where is all the water???

Can you see how low the river is? The dam has a crack in it so they shut it all down and the river is so low! Everything is closed off though...this is the boat docks...can you believe it...no water! Crazy. Just last year we were swimming out there where all that sand is! Hope they fix that dam soon...it's just not the same without all the water.
