Kindergarten Field Trip

I was lucky enough to get to go on Preston's Field Trip to the Airport and Fire Station. Preston was able to ride on the baggage cart, and even shoot the fire hose.  It was fun to be apart of such an exciting day! He has such a cute class and a great teacher, I am getting a little bit sad that Kindergarten is going to be over for him in just a couple of weeks. He told me the other day that he loves Kindergarten, but he is scared for 1st grade. I asked him "Why are you scared?" He said "Because he heard (probably from his brother, thank you Landon.) that is it is REALLY HARD." I told him "not to worry."  I know he will be fine in 1st grade it is me and Addie that are going to have the hard time. We are going to miss that little man all day.

Falling Fast

Landon participated in the Science Fair this year. His experiment was to see if a golf ball and a baseball would fall at different or the same speeds. He thought they would fall different because the sizes were different. Well, he as wrong... they fall at the exact same speed. It was fun to learn a little about science with him. He really likes to know how/why things work, his brain is very mechanical I guess you could say. He didn't win any ribbons or get to advance to region, but he did sit in the lunch room all day with these cute girls! I bet that was fun! :)

Spring In the Desert

The Sliderzz played in a baseball tournament in Las Vegas over Easter weekend. It was held at the Big League Dreams baseball complex. Wow, is all I can say about the fields, they were crazy cool. The fields are replica's of famous baseball parks. We played on Fenway, so fun! The other really cool part was it had a clubhouse, was landscaped with playground, grass and cement. I couldn't believe we had been at baseball games all day when we left because everyone was so clean! Landon included, the fields were turf, so I didn't even have to the red out of his baseball pants. It was great! The Sliderzz played awesome the first 2 days and came back on Saturday as the #1 seed. Unfortunately we lost our first game, but all in all it was a great weekend. Can't wait to go back!

Easter

Easter this year crept up on me. Before I could even think about it we were almost out of days to color eggs. Luckily we found a day to get together and make really pretty eggs. Dennis (Gavin's dad) always does all the work by digging the red roots and getting the onion shells. I am thankful we still keeps this Swiss tradition alive. 

Easter Morning was fun. Landon woke us up at 8:28 am and reminded us we were almost late for the Annual Egg Bust, then he informed me that the Easter bunny forgot to come to our house!! I about panicked! I told him that there was no way he forgot us.  I bet he just hid the baskets. Then I pushed he and Preston out the door with their dad and said we would have to find them when they got back. Auugh! Luckily the Easter Bunny did hide those darn baskets in the front room and they found them when they got home. (Just a note, for all who are judging that crazy rabbit right now, we were in Las Vegas all weekend (those pics are coming next) and didn't get home until Saturday evening, I am sure that really confused the funny bunny. Lets cut him or her ;o) a little slack! :))

Having General Conference on Easter was really great. We were able to have a yummy breakfast of Strawberries and Waffles, watch Conference in our PJ's and just enjoy each other. I did end up get really sick that afternoon, and threw up on the way to Ken and Katie's house for their Easter Dinner Party. After I did that, I felt much better. Oh, the joys of being Pregnant! ;o) Can you believe it #4 is on the way! I can't.  Well that about wraps up Easter. Sometime soon I will have this darn blog caught up. It just seem like I like sleeping a lot more lately than updating this blog, go figure.

Happy Easter 2010!

I am only a month late. :)

Evening of the Arts

Evening of the Arts was quite the night. Landon did NOT want to perform, he was kicking and screaming the whole way there. When we got there he settled down and did play his song on the piano. I am glad he chose to perform because after it was over I could tell he was happy he did it. Preston drew a picture at home to display, and in his class he had pictures on display too. I don't know if I could say this was a fun night, because of all the crying and screaming. I guess I will just say it's a memory!

Jazz Game

Piano Recital

Landon had his first piano recital on the 20th of March. He played the song "Bugle Boys." He was nervous, but still did great. He told me he messed up once, but I didn't notice. He isn't that thrilled about practicing 4 times a week, but I know in the end he will be very grateful he can play.

Way to go Landon! Here is to many more piano recitals in your future! We love you.
