Band banquet

Noah lettered and numbered in band. ( I guess you have to earn the numbers of the year you graduate- I was so confused  when Noah said "numbered" in band). 

Kinda blurry but Noah getting his letter/number.

Eli always entertaining with the fake mustaches from coaster that they gave out.

Lucas didn't want his pic taken.

Noah with his letter and number.

End of the year concerts

The boys have had several concerts so I decided to post them all in one. It's been a busy end of the year and I can't believe how fast it's gone.

Lucas at the West area band festival. 

All of fifth grade band from our nosebleed seats that Eli chose.

Spring orchestra 8th grade concert

All the boys have done great in music. Noah has added the bass clarinet and contra alto clarinet to his musical talents. Eli is working in private lessons to maybe audition in the KC youth symphony. Lucas has enjoyed the trumpet but is thinking of going back to strings. Instead of the violin- he is thinking cello maybe the instrument for him. I have lots more to post for the end of the year so come back soon.

Happy birthday Tovi!

Today is Tovi's birthday! He spent the day napping. Rough life!

On our way to the pet store!

To many smells to pay attention to the toys.

Eli decided to carry him to help him focus better. Unfortunately it didn't work!

Birthday cake time!

All worn out! It's hard getting older. Happy birthday Tovi!

Easter weekend

Happy Easter! 10 grand kids doing an egg hunt makes for an interesting afternoon. Our Aunt Charolette was able to come for a visit. We had a great time visiting. Since 3 of the eggs that I had hidden were never found, I am not sure I will be allowed to hide eggs again. ;) Trying to get a group photo was not easy. 

Cassi wanted to find eggs not take a photo. 

Poor Cassi bear!

Jen sat in to help Cassi.

Let the hunt begin.

I helped Victoria hunt for eggs. She had the sparkly eggs. We only found 8 of the 10. :(

Look Papa! I found eggs!

Tyler was looking for bunnies.

Eli and Trevor are on the hunt.

Where oh where are those eggs?

Silly bunny hide one on the wheel of the car.

It was a beautiful day for an egg hunt.

The brains of the operations.

Oh Cassi Nana doesn't like us stepping on the flowers!

Still looking!

Eli has the touch.

Celebrating April 9th birthdays. 

Around the yard we go.

Victoria wants to pull the wagon. But she would like Noah to get out.

What is wrong with this picture?

This is the last picture of the wagon before it was broken. Guess some boys will be buying Nana a new one!

The boys and I had a nice Easter Sunday.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Spring break- cook out fun!

I realized that I never posted pics from our cook out. The kids loved some cousin time. I think it was the first time we got together since Christmas. Busy busy schedules for everyone!

Colin loves cheese puffs!

Catch anyone?

Gotta love snapping pics of someone else snapping pics!

Cassi bear! It was chilly but well worth every chilly second.

After dinner the boys, decided a little volleyball was necessary.

Jordan getting a great shot that unfortunately went the wrong direction!
