Birthday Parties!

We have two TEN-YEAR-OLDS! And we had so much fun celebrating their birthdays!

Alison and her friends went to Sky Zone:

Logan and his friends went to Laser Tag!

These two certainly are worth celebrating; we're glad they're ours!

Planetarium

We took advantage of both a day off of school and a free day at the Planetarium to check it out. There were some fun things to look and and learn about.

Eli often says the funniest things. Here he said, "Mom, I'm walking in the footsteps of greatness!"

Jake of course wanted to run and run, but he did sit still for a second for a selfie.

Jason and Ali thought this looked like the Death Star...

I thought this was one of the coolest things I saw and learned: there are A LOT of stars!

Artist

Eli spends a lot of his free time watching videos of how to draw things. Here he was on a Dr Seuss kick, and the things he drew turned out pretty great!

Moments

My three boys snuggled and watched a show on this device the other day for quite a while without driving each other nuts! We rejoice in the little moments.

Impromptu Birthday Parity

Ali had a good friend over to play, and it just happened to be the friend's birthday, so we had to have an impromptu party, complete with homemade ice cream.

First Tooth!

Eli finally lost a tooth! He's seven and a half and was beginning to wonder if it would EVER happen!

Museum or Zoo

We decided to get Jake a membership to the museum, and he loves it. He asks every day to go to the "zoo." His favorites are the many ways to manipulate balls: on ramps, in air, in water.
