Egg Drop 2014

Trevor's school had their egg drop today.  This year Trevor put his egg in a loaf of bread made in the bread machine. We then put the bread in a small box so we could write his name on it.  Here is the egg going in before it goes into the box.  We stuffed the piece we cut out back in the hole.

 It survived!!

Sacramento Trip April 2014

During Trevor's spring break we took a little trip to Sacramento with Grandma.  We went to the zoo, Fairy Tale Town and stayed in a hotel.

Pinewood Derby 2014

Yesterday was the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  Trevor made his car look like a Creeper from Minecraft.  He loved seeing it race.  We didn't think it would do very good due to it's boxy design but he actually did okay.

 Ready to Race!

 Some of the cars.

Hike: Oxbow Nature Trail

Basque Monument Hike

Today we went on a hike with Grandma.  She took us on a short hike to see the Basque Monument and a special surprise.

 

The surprise was a swing.  Cole loved it and spun in circles for several minutes.

Cole's first lost tooth

On the 14th of March Cole lost his first tooth.  I noticed his tooth was getting looser so we were working on his tooth pillow.  I asked him to pick out some buttons for the eyes so he used his teeth to open the container.  As he was trying to open it out popped his tooth.  The look on his face was priceless.  He was super excited for his first tooth fairy visit.

Cole's 5th Birthday!!

Trevor's Science Fair 2014

 

Trevor had his science fair tonight.  This year he did a project we named Flavor Test.  He had us test out 6 different flavors of gum to see which lasted the longest.

First time snowshoeing

Craig and I have wanted to try snowshoeing for several years.  We finally had the chance.  It was so much fun and very relaxing to be out in the woods surrounded by snow and nothing else.  We can't wait to do it again.

Christmas 2013

The boys woke up early ready to open presents.  It was a whirlwind of giggles, flying paper and Awesomes! 

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Eve Bowling and afternoon at Grandma's

Christmas Eve morning we went bowling.  This has become a tradition since having kids and one we look forward too.  Trevor bowled without the ramp for the first time.  He did great and really enjoyed it.

 After bowling we went to Grandma's house for our tradition homemade pizza meal and to open some presents.  We are so lucky to have family that live nearby.  Makes the holidays special.
