4th Grade Play!

Tonight was Carson's 4th grade play. This is the culminating even of 4th grade. They learn about the history of Wyoming all year long and then perform this play that talks about all the things they learned. Carson played the part of Cattlemen #2. He did a really good job with his speaking parts: he was loud and clear in what he said.

The beginning of his play

After the play was over, the 4th grade teachers announced who the winners of the science fair were. Each class awarded a 1st, 2nd and 3rd and there was an overall winner. Carson ended up taking 2nd in his class. He did a really great job on his science experiment. He worked on it and made sure it was very detailed.

He was one excited kid!

 After the awards, we were able to walk the halls and see all the science project posters.

Wahoo!

His awards!

This was his poster board before he had to take it to school.

Spring Concert

The forth and fifth graders put on a Spring concert every year. It was a great program with lots of different types of songs. They sang, played recorders, did a song with sticks and swords, and did a may pole. It was kind of a long program (1.5 hours), but the music was really great! Carson had a singing part and did a really good job...we were actually able to understand what he sang!

Waiting for the program to start.

This was probably my favorite song. They used rhythm sticks to the William Tell Overture (the horse race song). It was great!

They played recorders to a few songs.

Part of Crocodile Rock. This was one of Carson's favorite.

All done with his program!

Mother's Day weekend

 Mother's Day weekend, we got to have Butts and Jabin come and stay with us. They had planned to stay the weekend with our parents, but they ended up having to leave out of town at the last minute. Christian and I made a late trip to Cody Friday night to pick them up off their flight that landed at 11. Jacob was nice enough to come and stay with the boys while we were gone.

Saturday, we woke up, had breakfast and then got ready. We decided to head out to the hills to shoot guns. We picked some asparagus while we were out there to have with our lunch.

Christian stopped on our way out to shoot to check on his dad's corn planting.

After shooting for a few hours, we headed back to the house for lunch. We cooked some brauts to have with our asparagus we picked earlier and sat outside and enjoyed the nice afternoon.

 After the kids had naps, we decided to head bowling and have pizza with Jason and Cassie. We showed up at the bowling alley only to find that it was closed. We went with plan B: ordered pizza and then played cards at the house. We celebrated Jason's birthday with brownies and ice cream for dessert!

 It was a great weekend with our family!

Randomness!

Here are just a few things:

I had a great Mother's Day. The boys made some great cards and gave them to me. I especially like the little book that Travis made in school. It made me laugh!

For story time this week, they read about Yellowstone and Park Rangers. For their activity, they made binoculars and Ranger vests. He had so much fun playing in the little tipi that the Librarian brought to go along with her stories.

Landon started a tumble class last week. He has really been enjoying getting to run around and to some fun activities!

Hanging from the low bar.

His very favorite thing to do is run and jump off the spring board and he's acutally quite good at it! He catches some good air!

Travis has really been into doing his own hair lately. He's always liked having his hair done (like uncle Jabin's). He decided he wanted to learn to do it all by himself and he's done a really good job of it. Sunday before church, Landon asked me if he could have his hair done like that too. Travis offered to do it for him!

Landon has decided that he likes to sit in our neighbor's tree that is on the corner of our property. I don't trust him to sit there by himself yet, so we chill out there while he sits in the tree and "plays".

Landon was having a rough afternoon the other day and was kind of sad. I hadn't heard anything from him for a bit and found that Travis had taken him to read to him!
