Atticus' team was "undefeatable"!!!--in Atticus' own words. That's right undefeated for the whole season and the tournament!
I guess all of that carpooling to practice paid off! Here are my 3 star carpool players...
It was the annual 5th grade cake contest at the school's extravaganza-- well of course every mom knows that if you have 6 kids who've all been in 5th grade before. However, this mom of 2 who has never had a 5th grader before just found out about the contest the day or so before. So my resourceful little 5th grader googled easy, creative cake designs...baked the cakes and made these great designs...
Here are my movie stars and my director making a commercial...
How do you keep kid actors on set busy while waiting for their scene?...
The best part in the kids' opinion--they each got paid $100!!
Chris' 41st birthday bash was a little more low key than his 40th...Texas sheet cake, banana pudding and a whole bunch of kids and 40ish grown-ups playing Just Dance 2!!
Here are my fun runners--so proud of both of them
Tiare had a great year at the Beehive Bizaar this year selling her notebooks, cookies, and jam...
Of course I have to mention the crazy weather of this spring...
The Pinewood Derby was of course a great success for Atticus...
Easter was fantastic! Tiare made amazing dyed eggs!
All were up for the Easter Bunny early morning still in their pj's...
Atticus and Tiare love their cousins so much!!
We took a spontaneous trip to the film festival where Chris' film was being shown!!
Road trips really are our family's speciality!! We love them!!
Some of my all time favorite pictures of the kids together are from when they are in the backseat together during a road trip!!
We also love staying in hotels and swimming in their pools!!
Warning though, the kids are hotel snobs (where could they have gotten that from?)--they only like Marriotts!
Garden of the Gods in Colorado Spring was amazing...
We loved this place
You get to make your own soda flavors, eat gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, and play board games!
We had a fun time on campus too...
Atticus joined a juggling circle of college kids and did great!!
Back at home, Atticus has been practicing his surfing skills...
Tiare took all the great pictures of Atticus in-door surfing! Look at this smile...
Atticus was instantly good at it--some college boys showed him the basics, and then he just took off. If he had enough money to go more often, he'd be up on the board standing in a day I bet!
I had a fantastic trip to New Orleans where I got to see my wonderful cousin Kelly...
We have always had so much fun together! It was great to see all my family there! The conference that I officially went for was pretty good too! It was the French Quarter Jazz festival so it was New Orleans at its best--jazz on every corner all day and night long...
Right before I went on my trip, Tiare did her state report on Louisana...
Ok, the world can end now as I'm caught up on my blog posts and can now rest in peace!!
