Some Skating Fun

A while back, Shannon’s team going to China again this summer planned a fund-raiser skate night.  Those are always fun!  And Leighton was big enough to skate this time too!  She really does think she is big stuff now.

Getting ready to go!

Adley’s ready too

TJ and the girls and Malaine

I think TJ’s back might have hurt after this night.  :-)  What a sweet daddy. As Leighton is looking at these pictures, she is telling me that she does not want Daddy to help her and I cannot help her either.

Jaylyn and her friend, Megan   

Some school flashback projects

Here are just some pictures to help me keep track of some of Jaylyn’s school projects the last few months.

We had fun with the solar system.  Jaylyn really gets into science!

We used felt to make some “close-to-scale” planets to practice order of planets. 

Colored playdough “Earth” ball

Reformation study in history in pj’s!

More creating

Leighton joined in too

Jaylyn’s cross

Leighton’s creation of “something”

Adley’s “Luther Rose”

Jaylyn’s “Luther Rose”

The pictures and colors represent different things:

• Black cross—Jesus died for our sins on the cross
• Red heart—We have new hearts and desires by faith
• White rose—We have peace with God
• Blue Sky—We have new life that begins now
• Gold Ring—We have eternal life in heaven.

Jaylyn nailing her “95 Theses” to the door.  :-)

Two experiments in one: Heating the air in the vase to cause the air to expand and fill balloon, while creating condensation on top pan and causing precipitation. 

Jaylyn’s volcano before eruption

Here it comes

Dr. Seuss’s birthday – we had green food while I read “Green Eggs & Ham”

Adley and Leighton enjoying green food!

We read “The Sneetches” The tunnel become the “star-on” and “star-off” machine.  Adley and Leighton helped act out the story while I read.  See their stars.  :-)

Paper bag cottage Jaylyn made in history class at Lyceum.

Tee-pee from American Girl class at Lyceum

Clay bowl she actually made last year in art.  (trying to take pictures of projects for portfolio instead of figuring out how to store everything)

Shaking up some home made butter

It is ready! 

Now we know :-)

She pretty much used most of the jar over time.  She made a lot of cinnamon toast and grilled cheese with that butter. 

Learning to knit!

Playing outside while learning about mountains leads to drawing and labeling parts of a mountain with sidewalk chalk.  :-)                          

More Easter Weekend

We visited at my mom and dad’s on Saturday before Easter.  The girls love playing outside there so we have a few pictures of that. They get out there in their bare feet, climb trees, dig in the dirt and rocks and hunt for roly poly bugs.  My grandma said they must be country kids.   

Getting ready

Here I go!

Leighton running again – pump those arms!! Adley & Uncle Scott were having fun playing ball.

Leighton is still running hard!

They must be having fun!

Heads up!

Hey there! 

More Easter

Friday before Easter – Brett, Rachel, Nana & Poppy came over

Dinner outside and then an egg hunt!

 And some egg dyeing!          We had a fun night and ended up with lots of fun eggs!
