It has been a while........

I can't believe I have not posted since Easter! Summer has been relaxing and busy at the same time! Thomas has been to basketball camp, Art camp and is headed to nature camp in a couple of weeks.
We have been swimming and I have been scrapping! The only thing that would make it better is if Charlie was able to hang out too!
My sister-in-law and her family just left after a few days here. We always have so much fun when they come. Thomas loves Katie and Angela (his cousins).

Easter

Yesterday Thomas told me he was so excited that the Easter Bunny was coming. This morning he got up (at 6:30am) and indeed he had been here. He even left footprints! He went through everything in the Easter basket and was getting ready to have some breakfast when he realized that there were eggs hidden. He began to look until he found them all. The Easter Bunny hid eggs that had candy in them and Mom and Dad hid eggs that had quarters in them.
For dinner we had ham and Grandma's delicious potatoe salad. It was a good day.

Coloring eggs

They are 3-D

Easter Bunny brought the basket and Mom and Dad brought the container.

Busy, Busy,Busy

The end of the school year is always a busy time. I have performances, Thomas has an animal project, and we both have testing. Charlie and I are looking at getting new carpet with our tax return so it has been fun looking at samples. Hopefully with Easter coming up I will have some good pictures to post! Time to get ready for the week!

An end to spring break.......

Well Spring Break is over. :(  Thomas and I had a great week (even though Charlie was out of town). We went to Chuck E Cheese, to the movies to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and we went out to eat a couple of times. It is hard to go back, but we only have 39 days left until SUMMER!! We can do it!

Spring Break Kick Off

Friday Thomas and I started our spring break. His class took a field trip to the wild animal park in San Diego! We had a blast! Three bus loads of 2nd graders and they all did great with the long drive there and back. They have to do a report on an animal so this was a "study trip". He has chosen a Great White Shark (even thought those do not reside at the wild animal park). :)
Here are some pictures..........

Blue Belt

Saturday March 26th was a big day. It was my 40th Birthday (ugh) and Thomas tested for a new karate belt. The belt test went great, they have to remember so much more each time. They were in their test for over an hour! Way to go Thomas!

My birthday was nice.My hubby baked me a yummy cake.  I got some new (Pink) boxing gloves for my kickboxing class, some very nice cards and we all went to Anchos for dinner. I have an awesome family.

Out of the mouths of Babes

Part of the reason I wanted to do a blog was that kids say so many funny things that it is impossible to remember them all! So....Thomas is at that age where if you say that you love something he says "Then why don't you marry it?"
The conversation went like this....
Thomas: I love that!
Me : Why don't you marry it?
Thomas: It's not funny when you say it.
Me: It is too, your just mad I got you at your own game.
Thomas: No, its really not funny when you say it.

Now for the 25 year old.
Justin: Are you really taking kickboxing?
Me: Yes
Justin: Why?....Is there a teacher at school that is bullying you?
They keep me smiling.
