Thomason's and Fun

I have a new little nephew, and he is really cute.  We had the wonderful opportunity to have my nieces and nephew over for a few days.  We had a great time.  We went to the Spring Canyon Park and played in the water.  We also had a great time at the library watching a show put on by the "Spirit of Colorado Pioneer Museum".  IT was fabulous.  The lady was so good I would love to learn more about the museum.

Drive In theatre

WE LOVED the drive in movies.  We watched Madagascar 3, and then the kids slept while we watched the 2nd of the double feature Men in Black 3.  Great popcorn, great family, great fun, who could ask for more.  I want to go every week now, I liked it so much.  :)

We have had a great time playing at Beverly and Scott's.  We colored eggs, rolled them at the park, had a ginormous egg hunt over the property (210 eggs), a treasure hunt, a fire side w/ hotdogs, and even a mystery game.  It was a great time had by all.  The kids were so tired that Jimmy Joe didn't make it out of Beverly's driveway before he was asleep.  After the kids were to bed, DeAnna and I went back to the Thomason home and played Zion Check with Mom and Dad.  It was a fabulous day.

Aunt Beverly had lots of colors

These are their "best friends forever: shirts

James wanted all his eggs  blue, but when all the blue was being used, he decided to do some yellow.  they were beautiful all yellow and blue.

Ooey Gooey goo

We worked hard today.  Isabelle began reading "Frog and Toad are Friends", worked on some mapping skills, did a little word work with "again", did a few math story problems, created a green paper turtle, and put together a compass rose.  Beverly took us on a ride to Telvent to give Bobby the car, and on the way home we stopped at Hunan's for a little chinese take-out.  The Moo Shu Chicken was very good.  Then we had Family Home Evening.  We talked about what it means to "build your house on a rock", sang songs, and talked about things we do that keep our family together and running smoothly.  We then made cornstarch/water goo and saw that if we stopped molding it, it slipped through our fingers, and right out of our hands.  That's what happens in life; if we stop moving and doing what's right, our lives tend to slide right out of our hands. 

James, "I'm making a cake Mom.  It's not done yet.  NO!!! I said It's not done yet."

By this time Isabelle had already washed her hands, and didn't want to get them messy again.

They are both trying to stir the concoction, and seeing that it is not a good stirring mixture.

Mixing it with his fingers.  It just kept slipping out of his hands, but He didn't give up.

His cake if finished.  We sang happy birthday, and blew out the candles.
