Preschool Fieldtrip to AZ Museum for Youth

Brody's preschool class took a fieldtrip. I have always wanted to go to the Arizona Museum for Youth. So I was glad they picked that place. After going I am glad that Gavin wasn't with us it is more for  younger kids. The area Brody liked was for kids 4 and under, but they let the preschool class go. That is the only part Gavin would have liked. So I am glad it was just Brody and Paris that went. They learned about weather and then got to explore the museum.
 They made a rainbow picture. Which we forgot and left them. Opps! But they used colored ice cubes which was fun.
 They played a thunder musical chairs. Paris was really good at this game she went really slow and held the line up and then when the music stopped she had lots of seats to chose from. I don't think she got out once. The older kids purposely tried to get out so they could bang on pots and make the thunder noise.
 The play area for the little ones.
 Brody liked to build towers and knock them over. I had to watch him and make sure he didn't throw blocks at everyone. Because if he had his choice that is what he would have done the whole time.



 Paris did not like getting rolled in this. She screamed the whole time she went. Never got in that circle again.
 The music parts were fun.

 Spinning in chairs is always fun especially when you can't see anything.
 Brody's friend Benji went with us. I thought that was a cute picture.
The museum also had lots of little art projects to do, however, the kids were not interested in doing something they could do at home.

Paris Turns 3

Paris was so excited for her 3rd birthday.
A neighbor friend Gavin Paris her old dog that she loves.
Grammy and Grandad got Paris her first bike. Did was sweet and put it all together, while
 Of course the kids always pick to go to Peter Piper Pizza and play.

 Paris picked a pink cake. They had lots of spring cakes with it being so close to Easter. She wanted the flowers.

 Grandma and Grandpa gave her money, which I put in her bank account.
 The bunny was something she wanted when she went shopping with me the day after Christmas sale. She wanted it, but then forgot when we got home so I saved it for her birthday.
 Also a movie to help with the Utah trip. I don't think she has even watched it yet and it's been a month. If she watches anything it is on the computer PBS Kids watching Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. Or if she is at Grandma's she likes Mickey Mouse Club House or something girly if the boys are not there.
 The boys liked the basketball game.
 Paris likes the rides.
 She followed this little girl around so she could catch a ride with everything she did. One smart girl.
 The finished bike Grammy and Grandad sent.

Garden

Kids helping me plant a garden. I made a cedar garden box and then the kids helped me plant some seeds. Will see if anything grows.


 Dad and Paris playing together. The hid a little dog inside then she would find it over and over again. Dad is so nice to keep building it for her.

Easter

Easter Pictures
They didn't go in order and I don't feel like changing them now. So you get out of order. The kids dressed up all beautiful for Easter. Gavin 7, Brody 5, Paris almost 3.

 We decided to give them gifts for Easter. Wanted to start collecting a few good movies for the trip to Utah in the summer. So they each got a movie. Wreck it Ralph, Hotel Transylvania, and Scooby-Doo.
 The hoping bunnies and chicks were a favorite.
 We did egg coloring. We did 5 dz and Grandma was going to be there soon. I figured they would have lots to still do by time she came. Well they finished in like 5 min so Grandma didn't get to help do any.


 Paris was so funny. She tried to find the egg once she got to the yolk and said she found it. Then she asked "where is the bird?"
 Kids had fun finding Easter Eggs in the back yard.

 Brody had to do a report in Preschool on a State. Even though Kaleb moved from Washington we pretended he didn't and stole some his pictures off the blog. Then he had to take it to school and talk about it. He has such a fun preschool. Then we got packages and postcards from different states. He liked that best because Grammy and Aunt Bean sent fun stuff.
 More Easter pictures.






 Egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's. Sweet story about Brody. During the Egg hunt he asked Grandma if she found any eggs yet. She said she hadn't and then Brody said "Here you can have one of mine" He is always thinking of others. Love that sweet boy.
