Easter in July.......

I'm still in "catch-up" mode here. lol! Only a few months behind!  I got a few pictures of Trace's first Easter. It rained that morning so we had to have the Easter Egg hunt indoors in our newly renovated student center. It was crazy and crowded so I didn't get any of the older three kids.

Tristan, Thomas and Travis

Bethany and Brooke

Bailey

Brennan

Trace

Truck Event at Martin Library!

A branch of our local library hosted a "touch a truck" event two weekends ago. I took the kids last year, and we decided to go again this year. And, it was gorgeous weather that morning. A star-car group in Tulsa brought some of their personal cars out to show. Wouldn't this be fun to ride around in?

A man from the electric company talked about electricity safety. He cooked

a hot dog with the end of that little power line.

This is what happens to sand when a live power line touches it. 

Scoob.

 These two were the only originals there-the original fast and furious movie set cars.

I don't remember the name of this local band, but they were so nice to let the kids

come up and play instruments. Although Tristan was the only brave one of my group to go play.

The news on six storm chasing truck and Von Castor, a local storm chaser. He was

super nice and David stood and chatted with him a long time.

The happy birthdays that I didn't post.....

I thought I would go back and recap the birthdays that I didn't post, since I have been neglecting to post lately.

 First up were Bailey and Bethany's back in March.

Bailey wanted a Frozen birthday and Bethany wanted to have a friend over. Since

their birthdays were close together and pretty much over the weekend we started on

Friday with homeschool ice skating. Then, a party on Saturday.

We had games and built marshmallow snowmen. 

Bailey turned 6 and Bethany turned 13.

Next came Brooke's 12th birthday in April.

She wanted pink and zebra striped decorations, a sleepover

and to paint tshirts.

Tyler turned 18 in April, also! We had his birthday/graduation party in the gym at our church.

Then, there was this little guy's FIRST birthday in May!!

SADLY, I can't find any of the pictures from his party. I don't know where they are. I had them on my camera, but hadn't downloaded them, and that's the last I knew. Tyler took my camera to Spain and now they aren't on there. So, I thought maybe I had just taken pictures with my phone, but this was the only one. I'm sick over it.

Next came my birthday in June. The big 4-0.  But, they're saying that 40 is the new 30, so no biggie. That morning Tyler called me from Spain. He didn't even remember it was my birthday, lol, but that just happened to be the only time he was able to call the whole two weeks, so it was a treat! David took me out to Chili's for dinner that night and Brittany bought me some travel bags for when David FINALLY(!!??)  takes me on our anniversary trip.

So, that's it until later this month we'll have 4 birthdays in 5 weeks!
