2012 Solar Eclipse

Trackers!

We are working on our landscaping.  Mac thinks it is the best thing that ever happened because of the tracters.  He would just stare out the window watching them.

This is Mac playing hide and so seek

And Mac loves to do his own hair.

MJ's first grade program

Maissie had her first grade program.  Of course it was super cute.  They sang songs they had learned all year long.  

Jens did her best to sing along.  It was Mac's nap time.

This was take one- Mj didn't want Jens in the pitcture

The opera

For Christmas we got tickets to the symphony or opera of our choice from the parents.  We had never been to the opera, so we went.  We got a late start, so we were racing to get there.  Mark dropped me off so I could get the tickets from will-call, and he could find a place to park.  Only, we went to the wrong place! We were suppose to be at the Capitol Theater.  So I had to chase him down, and get to the right place.  Lucky for us we made it. The opera was Of Mice and Men.  I got the giggles when it started, and couldn't stop.  Mark and I thought we should start talking to our kids that way.
It was a great evening, but what evening isn't great when I get to spend it with Mark:)

Funny Jens

She keeps us laughing.  Here are the latest Jensism

I asked Jen to open the door.  She asked why, I said to let some air in.  She asked "who is air?"

Love it

Mac and I have been able to go on almost all of Jens preschool field trips this year.  We have gone to the Aquarium, Dinosaur Museum, Children's Museum, and Cabela's.  These pictures were taken at Thanksgiving point. It is nice to have at least two kids that like each other:)

Arthur's BDAY!

It was such an honor to be with Arthur on his birthday this year. It has been a really long time since we were with him on his birthday.  So how did we celebrate? At the zoo!!  Then we met up with Mark at Blue Lemon.  For dinner we had curry veggies, and for desert vegan chocolate cake. 

Sam Graduated. He is smart.

We all met up at our starting place to see Sammy Sam graduate with his Masters of Public Administration!

It was great, and we loved texting and seeing Sam.  We stayed as long as we could.  Then we had to go get ice cream from the Creamery.  We had to go because Dia had never been!

After we ate at a super Peruvian place.  

It was a lot of fun to be all together.  It was the first time Arthur and Clark had been to our new casa.

Saturday after graduation Arthur, Clark, Sam, Mark and I went on a hike.  It was so fun.  Then The boys went to pack Sam and Dia up to move back to Henderson.  Boo! :)

Spring Break 2012

We had the most excellent Spring Break in Henderson!

Clark and the doggies were there.

we met up with old friends to see the Lorax.  Mac and Jens did great.

We did a project at home depot, and met the Easter bunny.

Swam almost everyday

 We had an Easter Egg hunt.

And made cute Easter Bunnies

We also had a cousins pool party that was so much fun!

Dam!

Tia Dia hooked us up with tickets to tour the Hoover Dam.  It was great.  I had not been since elementary school, or even since the bridge was completed.

poor Mac with his burned cheeks

After we stopped at Capriottis for lunch.  We took a sandwich to Dia at her work.
