Caramel's 9th Birthday

Caramel loves getting older. Caramel decided to go roller skating for her birthday. She was allowed to invite 4 friends to her party. Two friends from school and two from church is what it ended up being. The girls gathered at Caramel's house for some finger foods, cake, and opening presents. Then we took off for the skating rink.

Camellia went to Grandpa Dan's house. Anthony drove the girls and I took Rhett and Myles. The girls had fun improving their skating skills. Caramel brought her skates and tried roller blades near the end. I was going to have Myles try skates but he did have any interest in doing that so he hung out with Grammy. After skating the girls explored the house for a little then parents picked them up.

 

Early that day Caramel and her friend Riley went to a Fancy Nancy Ballet with Grammy. It was a great show with a very fancy audience. 

Myles Grammy Day

A little construction for Myles on Grammy day.

Myles loves songs about construction vehicle.

We listen to in the van and watch the videos at home.

High 70s at Seahurst Beach

Spring break and beautiful weather. We headed to Seahurst beach for a few hours. We all got a little too much sun, but enjoyed friends and Grammy Pam. So much fun shoveling rocks and water. We found a tiny crab and took him for ride in a toy boat.

Ocean Shores

The kids and I packed up for a 3 day trip to Ocean Shores during Spring break.
Exploring the coast with friends.

We went on a fun mossy walk through the woods and looked at Duck Lake a couples times. We spotted lots of deer near the road when we were driving around.  

 

At the beach the older kids built a shelter while the younger kids played in the sand.

It was windy but we enjoyed the outdoors at the North Jetty.

 

 The best beach we went to was Damon Point. Lots of sea creatures with discovered.

 We brought home lots of shells, some with living creatures inside. Caramel found a cute tiny starfish.

 The most demanded event was going to Sharky's.

 The kids wanted to shop inside the shark's mouth.

Special treasures included a stuffed dolphin, tiny bottle keychain, shark teeth, rubber crab, rubber turtles, and toy van with gum balls.

 

On the way home we stopped and eat at Cabela's in Lacey. The kids enjoyed looking all the animals and eating ice cream first then hot dogs and fries.

Anthony's Toys

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors is a show Anthony enjoyed when he was young. A couple years ago Anthony's mom gave us the Jayce and Wheeled Warrior toys Anthony played with growing up. The boys have enjoyed building different looking vehicles with the toys. Rhett used almost all the pieces making this line up one Saturday. Rhett's dog friend Brock (purchased by Rhett at a garage sale last summer) even made the photo shoot with his air fresher collar (found at the park).

Easter

 

 

We did egg hunting a little different this year. Each kid had a color. There were 10 green eggs, 10 blue eggs, 10 pink eggs, 10 purple eggs, and 8 hard boiled eggs. The weather was good so the kids hunted in the backyard after church. They were very entertained and helped each other out. For their Easter presents they found knew spiral notebooks and watercolor set or large crayons in their baskets. Not too fancy but they have enjoyed using them.

We colored eggs which was a huge mess with four young kids. They have enjoyed picking out the decorated hard boiled eggs to eat.
