Brooklyn's 5th grade program/ Brooklyn's Volcano

Brooklyn had a patriotic program for all the 5th graders.
It was their end of year and last program in Elementary School.

Grandma, Kamri, and Uncle Jason came.  Mom was there too!

Can you find Miss B?

We are #1

Brooklyn was "Lady Justice" in the program.

Thanks Uncle Jason and Kamri from coming.

Brooklyn with her 5th grade teacher Mrs. Neahman.
at Maeser Elementary School.

Brooklyn, had to do a report and model of a volcano.
I was able to go and watch her present her volcano and give her oral report.

Brooklyn, worked so hard on her report and her volcano model. She wanted to make sure the lava was red so she put red food coloring in the vinegar. Very fun.

Here is Brooklyn's volcano.  Mount St.Helens. 

As we tried to have this volcano erupt at home we found a couple tricks.  First is to put baking soda in  some toliet paper and roll it up so it's like a little tube. Close the ends off  with rubber bands.   Also if right before you put the vinegar in add pop rocks it will make lots of noise when the vinegar goes in.  The vinegar will absorb in the toliet paper and start to erupt.  It was a lot of fun learning more about volcanoes and watching Brooklyn give her report and completing her model with the finale being the eruption.  We learned a lot and more importantly had a blast doing it.

Camping with Uncle Jason

We have the coolest Uncle.
Uncle Jason took the boys on the Father and Son campout.
It's so awesome to have cool Uncles that want to take their nephews out camping when their dad is in Korea.

Chandler is so excited to take his treats to school.

Traditions are so fun. Here is Chandler's Table

I also found this super cute Birthday Boy pin that he got to wear.
I love Birthday's and I love this little boy.

Here is Chandler's Cute Bedroom Door.

Chandler loved his Party blower and his awesome Birthday Breakfast.

French Toast with birthday candles.  What could be better.

Our Baby Boy is "9".  I love Chandler's  Charismatic  Personality.  He is always willing to share a joke or a story. Chandler is so animated he just makes me smile.  Chandler still loves to read and is reading Charlie Bone right now.  Chandler loves to ride his bike and play MineCraft. Chandler loves to be called Peanut and after I packed his lunch the name I had to put on the bag was ChanMan.  We are so happy and  blessed to have this sweet little boy in our family.  

Chandler's favorite part of his Birthday... His Presents!

Oh Cool a Skylander Swap guy.

OOOOHHHHH what is it?

Chandler got a couple cards from Grandma's.  

I love this smile.
Happy Happy Birthday ChanMan
We love you so much!

Decorating eggs with Family

 How cool is that? I have never seen or dyed plastic eggs, we thought it  would be fun to see how well they worked. 

Our table is ready.... Time to decorate eggs.

The kiddos in their Sunday Best.  UMMM maybe we should have had them change?!?

Cute little Kamri with her Plastic eggs to dye.  This is awesome!!!  she can drop them all she wants and they will not break. SWEET!

I heart this cute KAMRI.  This is her way of saying cheese.  She just leans forward and looks at you.  So fun!

We tried another new dying kit.  It was little painting roller brushes and it was super fun to decorate with.  I think this is a new favorite. 

Here is my first plastic decorated egg. Very fun! they are a huge hit.
However, they do not float in the dye.  You have to hand paint them and they turn out awesome.

Chandler got dye EVERYWHERE.  Good thing Grandma was there because she washed his shirt and got all the dye off it. Yeah, Thank you GRANDMA!

What a fun time of decorating eggs with the family!
