Saturday night he was an extra, although that nights captain got sick so he got to also play the Captain that night.

Mother's Day 2014

Both of Ben and Nathan's Grandmother's and their Aunt Ann came to visit us for Nathan's play and for Mother's Day.

Family Reading Night

Taranchula Hill

 

Tuesday Charlotte and the boys hiked up Taranchula Hill

This was the view.

Universal Studios

Last December David and Kris treated us to Universal Studios for David's Birthday and it was the buy a day get the year deals so Thursday we used our passes since the boys were in Spring Break.

 

These are the cups that they got them last time.

Easter 2014

The Easter Bunny brought the boys a basket with candy and a small Lego set and hid eggs. Ben thinks that this will be the last year of Nathan believing.

Lego Day at School

Mrs Reed texted us this picture of Nathan's class doing something with Legos, I'm not quite sure what though since there wasn't any explanation.

Redwood Middle School Spring Carnival

Twice a year Redwood Middle School (Where Ben will be going next year, scary!) has a Carnival, I'm guessing to both raise money and to introduce new students and others to the canpus. Ben and Nathan spent most of their time playing Lasertag. I circled them.

Pinewood Dirby

This was the first Pinewood Dirby that Ben didn't take part. Nathan almost consistently got third place. We have never really been great at it, but I make sure the boys have fun doing it. Popcorn sales are the thing that we get competitive. We sold over a thousand dollars in popcorn last year.

 Nathan's is the black on that's closest to us.

Nathan's Citizenship Award

Ben's first Boy Scout Hike

Acacia Jog-A-Thon

Ben's Race, the 5th graders ran for 30 minutes, Ben got 23 laps

 

It was funny a couple of the younger grade teachers brought their kids to cheer on the runners and at one point Frozen's "Let It Go" was playing and they started singing along.

 THe lady holding the yellow paper is Mrs Steinmeyer Ben's Teacher

 Ben and his friend Joshua and the Dads

Nathan's Race The 3rd Graders ran for 20 minutes and I believe Nathan did 15 laps 

Nathan's third grade play: Vacation to Mars

The whole third grade put on a play called Vacation to Mars, Nathan didn't have a big part, but I'm kind of glad since he's focused on being the Ship Captain and the Seahorse in the school play THe Little Mermaid which is in May.

Blue and Gold Dinner

Nathan and I used Harry Potter Lego figures to decorate our cake for the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Dinner. Ben  had his first Boy Scout Court of Honor Sunday night, but I forgot my camera.
