Random Pics from Easter and Early Spring

Here are some random pics. The first two are Easter that I forgot to include in the Easter post and the others are just some pics from the Lane Packing playground.

Heath's Art

Heath's Art Project was chosen to be displayed at the mall for Youth Arts Month. Heath seems to love everything about school but when you ask him what his favorite thing at school is 9 times out of 10 he tells you Art. I was so happy for him that his work was chosen. There are 600 students at his school and there were 30 children's pieces chosen to display so I was so proud of him!

Easter 2010

Chloe and Caroline at their pre-school Easter Egg Hunt!

The girls had an Easter Egg Hunt at school. Thank heaven Daddy was able to take them because I had the flu. They had lots of fun and practiced hunting eggs for several days after that. We then had an Easter Egg Hunt at church on the Saturday before Easter. The kids love the hunt at church because their are so many eggs to pick from. Heath learned his lesson from last year and he looked for the carrots but picked up eggs along the way too. We made our "Jesus" biscuits before lunch and enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend!

Eli Turns Six!

I can't believe that my baby boy turned six! He is growing up so much and becoming such a big boy. He had his birthday during spring break so he got to celebrate at school the Friday before, then got to open some presents on his actual birthday, and then have cake and ice cream and open the rest on Saturday. He was so excited about his birthday and kept asking me, "Am I six yet?" When I put his to bed on the his birthday night he asked me, "if I go to sleep will I still be six tomorrow?" Happy Birthday Eli....we love you!!

Disney Cruise 2010

We went on a Disney Cruise while the kids were out of school for Winter Break. We had a lot of fun but I am so glad that we only did a 3-day cruise because everyone was really tired and worn out from all of the fun and excitement by the end of it. The boys and Caroline really enjoyed the kids club......Chloe kept having them page us to come and get her. The minute we checked her out of the club though, she wanted to go right back. They have great children's programs and the boys enjoyed playing the video games and working on the computers. We spent the evening going to dinner and the shows. I have to say the shows were my favorite part of the cruise.....they were really good. The kids loved Mickey's pool. It was a pool just for kids with Mickey's ears being warmer water and it had a slide that Eli and Heath liked. We got off the boat in the Bahamas and just walked around the shopping areas and the straw market. It didn't take us long because the kids are not good shoppers!! We spent that afternoon swimming and exploring the ships activities. Castaway Cay was Disney's island and the girls and Heath loved the beach. Eli is enough like his Daddy that when it got crowded....he was ready to go. I didn't do a good job on sunscreen so everyone got some sun!! After lunch we went back to the ship and went swimming and to the movies!

Derby Car Race 2010

Eli getting his ribbon.

Heath's RA group had Derby Car races recently. They spent several weeks getting them built and painted and then they had the races. Heath was very disappointed because he didn't win. He had several races and won a few but didn't place. After his age group was over they said they were going to race the pre-k/kdg age group. This group is siblings of other RA boys but I didn't let Eli make his own car because I wanted this to be something special for Heath. While we were standing there watching the races Bobby asked Heath is Eli could use his car and race. Surprisingly, Heath said yes and off Eli went to race. He actually did really well and I think came in about 4th but they gave all the participants a ribbon just for participating. Heath was really cheering Eli on because he knew that if Eli did good it was because he was racing his car!!
