Hair-raising

There is almost enough for a ponytail. Almost...

Nursery Fieldtrip

I rarely get to go on fieldtrips with my kids so I was super excited to go with McCall to the Tassajara Nursery with her kindergarten class. They showed us many different plants and even some bugs. All the kids were playing with ladybugs and watching them crawl all over their hands and legs. McCall would not go near them...she was terrified!

Cheerleading?

McCall really wanted to sign up for cheer leading this year. I decided it would not be too harmful since she is only 5. (I remember making fun of cheerleaders mercilessly in high school.) She had a lot of fun and it was great exercise.

Easter

I wish I was more on top of it so I could take pictures of the kids before church...usually they come come with messy (or straight) hair, food crumbs or stains, or/and missing things from their clothes (ie. Hayden's flower on her dress). They are so anxious to get out of their church clothes that usually at least one of them has already changed and is miffed when HE has to get back into them. Then the laundry at the end of Sunday is insane... Anyway Easter was nice. The kids had a great time finding their baskets...we had to tell Austin where his was (pitching machine box). I did not take any pictures of them with their baskets...not one. I have no first Easter pictures of my baby with her little basket trying to eat the chocolate. Sad...

Discovery Kingdom

We decided this year to get season passes to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo. We took the kids over spring break. It was a perfect day because it was cold and overcast. We walked onto most of the rides with no waiting. We stayed through the rain and didn't go home until it closed.

Hayden and her dad at the Thomas display...she made it clear she does not like Thomas though.

Kambria and Marisa were so sweet to go on the rides with the kids.

Jeremy, Austin, Parker, McCall and others went on the water ride and got soaked. We all thought they were crazy because it was freezing.

Ainsley was a trooper!

Popcorn Popping?

Parker had a performance for school last month. I thought it was funny that they did "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree"! Parker is in the top row off to the right in a blue shirt. My camera does not have a good zoom and at Sycamore School if you don't get there an hour before the show starts you sit (or stand) in the back row!

This was another favorite of mine. Parker is just a step behind each time...bless his heart! He is on the left side in the blue shirt moving towards the right.
