April & May Bible Quiz Tournaments!

April Tournament was here at TRC!! The May Tournament was in Redlands, California! We stayed an extra night in Lancaster with the Curtis'! We can't be that close without spending time with them!! I wished they could've moved back here!! But we're thankful that we still get to visit them here and there :)!

Here's the most recent pics of Liam I have. These were on Easter! He is now almost 11 months! My how time flies!!!



Dalton is now 5! Breighlyn is now 7!


Tahoe!

Craig took a couple days off and he surprised me by taking me to Tahoe for our anniversary! It was gorgeous! Couldn't have asked for better weather! It snowed a couple times while we were there...not enough to get snowed in tho! lol!


We brought home some snow for the kids to play in! It lasted for the night!






End of the school year fun!

Cali's class (actually all the 3rd grader classes did this) had 2 days where they were in the Pioneer Days in the 1850! So they dressed and acted as if they were back in the 1850s. They brought lunch in baskets or pales! They walked the track to show that the kids had walked to school everyday! The boys sat on one side of the room and the girls on the other. Girls couldn't talk to boys unless they were siblings and vis versa! Cali was Emelia Lee. It was very cute!!! Here are some of the things they did.

Wow! There has been a lot going on here!! lol! I didn't know where to begin! This is kinda backwards but here goes! In Feb, we went to Fresno for a Bible Quiz Tournament. March, Breighlyn got glasses!! YAY! Now she can see the white board from her seat! lol! At the end of March, we had the privilege of hosting two Japanese students! They stayed with us for 5 nights! We had an absolute blast with them! We wished we had them longer :( We took them to an Easter Egg Hunt/Playdate (it was already scheduled but they loved it!), took them to the Jelly Belly factory and Vacaville Outlets, and to the capitol!! Of course, we took them to Wal-mart, Toys R Us, and Gamestop before they had to go back home :( I took them to Bel-Air and they were amazed at the bananas! They said that the bananas in Japan are little!! Everything there is little....including the homes! lol! They LOVED our trampoline! They've never seen one sooo big! Somewhere in there somewhere, I went to my friend Beth's baby shower!! I drove to Riverbank!! lol! I wouldn't have missed it! We love the Chavez family! They finally have a baby boy!! He's sooo sweet!!! Speaking of...I need to visit them again soon :)! And then of course, there was Easter! That weekend was filled with fun!
