Ashton and his 6th grade classmates had Sports Day on Thursday. Kickball, handball, sideline soccer and dodgeball were played. Ashton was on the green team and they came in 4th place out of 8 teams. Ash even scored a goal! He finished the afternoon off with a drum lesson since he was the only percussionist that showed up for band. He had a blast!
We attended a festival at our church where all the junior high and high school choirs in the Santa Clarita Valley performed for each other. It was so great! 
We had a lovely visit with Aunty Sonja this last weekend! She was in California to help Uncle Rollo while Aunt Gretchen has knee surgery. She got all caught up on each of the boys and heard a lot of music!
My high school boys took me as their date to see Saugus High school's performance of "Fiddler on the Roof." The pit orchestra was made up of some of their band mates. I was really impressed with the show and the boys loved it, too!
We had a lovely Easter! We attended church and then had a great lunch with the grandparents. No Easter egg hunts but there were baskets of chocolate!
Ashton and his class went on a field trip to the Channel Islands Maritime Museum in Oxnard this week. They boarded a boat and came face to face with sea stars, spiny sea urchins, and octupus!
We spent our last weekend of Spring Break at Magic Mountain. We usually split up and Derrik takes the older boys to the crazy rides. Ashton has always been my park buddy (and my tummy can barely handle rides anymore). He's almost ready to do all the wild rides! This trip around he tried the new virtual reality ride and had a blast!

Cameron used part of his spring break to create a slideshow of photos that he took of flowers in our neighborhood.
We spent our spring break at home. We ate out, went to the park and relaxing at home. It was nice! |

Ethan spent his senior spring break with friends in Ventura at a beach house! There was a dad on site, making sure everything was safe. Looks like there was even a boat trip! He got to go boogie boarding everyday and had a great time. He sent me only a few pictures.
Ethan is officially 18! We had a great celebration! He opened presents in the morning and then headed to school. Boo..... Then after school, we went to Thousand Oaks to go to the Melting Pot for birthday dinner. Then Saturday, we celebrated one last time at the Grandparents house. 
We attended Cameron's Saugus soccer banquet last night. He and his team were recognized as well as the JV and Varsity teams.
Cameron went on the band tour last weekend. The band went to San Luis Obispo and performed at the Farmer's Market, toured Hearst Castle in San Simeon, and in Monterey visited the aquarium, the beach and then symphony! He had a great trip!!
