SWARM

We did SWARM (Skits With A Redeeming Message) at church last weekend and a few photos were taken.  I thought I'd share!  I'm a part of the band and sing crazy songs with the kids. 

Party photos

Ashton was invited to a party on Saturday for a girl that lives across the street.  They've known each other since kindergarten and it's sweet that they care about each other.

I did the slide with Ashton a few times!

Easter 2014

We had a wonderful Easter!  We woke up to see what was in the Easter baskets, and then headed to church.  Cameron got an opportunity to usher with Derrik!
After the service, we headed to a swimming pool with the grandparents to eat and swim.

Grandma gave the boys eggs with $ in them!  Wow!

Spring Break Event #5: LA Galaxy Game

Derrik, Cameron and I took his parents to a Galaxy soccer game last night.  Bonus: they WON!
We had a great Spring Break but we head back to school and work tomorrow.  BOO!  We're in the home stretch though - almost done!

Teppanyaki Japanese Food

We took the boys to their first Teppanyaki dinner experience!  Everyone was a good sport and tried new things and will never forget the chef lighting things on fire in front of us!  Wow! 

Spring Break Event #4: Indoor Rock Climbing

Yep, sound crazy and it just about was!  We all learned a lesson on never giving up, that's for sure!

Here is a video of Cameron getting the top of the wall - he almost didn't try again! 

 

Guitar Center - Sunset Boulevard

I had heard that this Guitar Center was THE place to take Ethan, as it has wall-to-wall guitars and is the largest around.  We were all blown away by the amount of things to see and play!

Spring Break Event #3: Hollywood!

We went down to Hollywood one day to walk around and be tourists.  Lots of interesting folks trying to make a living on Hollywood Boulevard!  We enjoyed seeing the stars along the street, a bus tour, the Hollywood wax museum and eating at the Hard Rock Café!

Hooray for Spring Break!  We spent our first day at Mountasia Fun Center.  Here are the highlights:



Dance Battle!

Cameron as an MC!

Cameron had the honor of being chosen as an MC for our school's talent show.  He had lines to memorize and many rehearsals to attend.  He did a great job!  I included just a brief video of one of the skits he was in where they were introducing an act.

Happy Birthday, Ethan!

Our Ethan is 15!  We had so much fun celebrating him over last weekend.  He got to open two big gifts before the weekend and the last two presents on the morning of his birthday.  He got a new microphone for recording his music and a new electric guitar!   We are so proud of him!!  Thank you for all the cards and love! 

I added a video of him trying out his new guitar.

Muppet Movie and Johnny Rocket's!

We all went to the Muppet movie and Johnny Rockets to celebrate our birthday boy!

Early Birthday Lunch

We had an early celebration for Ethan with the grandparents since they were going to be out of town on his birthday.

Open House

We attended open house for Cameron and Ashton on Thursday night.  Both boys showed us lots of art work and projects.  I had my classroom open as well.  It was a fun night!
