A visit from Landon and Melissa

Justin's brother Landon and his family came for a visit. (Too short of one I might add.) We had fun!!! Took them all fishing up at the lake where the kids had a great time catching little pan fish and crawdads.

Hope we can do this again some time.

Today was about fun with Coltin

fieldtrip to Molly Brown House
Its been awhile since I have gotten to spend the day with just Coltin. (And 45other students, from KQA.) The 4th grade classes went on a field trip to Denver to tour the Mollie Brown house and capitol building. The had been studying Colorado history this year. The tour was great. We really learned a lot about what an amazing woman she was and not just because of the Titanic . Her house was very modern and so ornate. (Unfortunately they did not allow inside photography.) She had heating and indoor plumbing which was very rare in those days, only the very wealthy had it. It was a fun day, glad I got to hang with the kids. (But I sure don't miss riding the school bus!)

 Keeping ourselves entertained.

Easter Egg Hunt at Church

Dyeing Eggs

Easter Sunday

Had to have an egg hunt at home too! This one I did like a treasure hunt, leaving many clues around the house. It was fun. I think I need to do more of these.

4 Grader ~ Honor Roll

Coltin made the Principals Honor roll this last quarter, (that is a 4.0 GPA!)  His first quarter he had 3.5 and was on the regular honor roll.  He has also been awarded and recognized twice this school year as student of the month. One in Art class and one in the 4th grade class. They only give out a few of these each year. We are so proud of how hard he works. He is proud of his accomplishments also and hopes to finish the year with a 4.0.

Pinewood Derby Races 2012

Here we go again...
The races were so fun this year. Everitt made his first car and it actually looked like a race car. He named it Silver Stinger. This was Coltin's last year racing. He ended up going with a phone style car (blue and gold). Called the 'Phoner'. Both cars did real well. The races were so exciting, as each one of them crossed first in the first round. They got to race 6 rounds and placed based on accumulated time. So for the Wolf den, Everitt's Silver won first place. For the Webelos den Coltin's Phoner won 2nd place. As an overall pack (17 boys racing) Everitt was 2nd  and Coltin 4th. They made some good cars, of course dad helped and loved it. To bad he was out of town and missed the races. =(
