Spring Break 2021

 Update on Clifton -

11 year olds! He is a great young man.  Super helpful with Hazen and usually willing to play with him.  He is crazy about sports and still loves playing soccer.  Super smart and hard working.  And great at driving his sister insane. We are pretty lucky to have him in our lives.

Update on McKay -

Has been enjoying having extra chores to make money and buying things.  She never saves it and usually spends it the week she earns enough for a small toy.  Now to teach her to save!

Updates on Stanley -

His anger has gotten out of hand.  Threw his table over at school in anger about a little thing.  Says hurtful and mean things out of anger.  Little things set him off and sometimes you have no idea what made him blow.  It has been really rough for him lately.  He ran out of one of medication and didn't have a refill and he was even worse.  But after a couple days he calmed back down and his anger has been better with just the other medication.  Maybe this is what we needed!  We will see how it continues.

Updates on Hazen -

It's time to get rid of his pinky and start potty training.  But he refuses to wear big boy underwear or sit on a toilet.  He says he wants to be a baby not a big boy.  Which is hard for us cause we want him to stay little longer too!  So we aren't pushing it but we will need to soon.


Spring break we had lots of fun planned for the week.  Monday we went to the Tulip Farm with friends.  Clifton decided to stay home with a friend and do manly things.

Then stopped for ice cream on our way home.
Such a fun day!

Tuesday we had a water party.
The sun was hiding behind the clouds that day so it was a little colder than expected but that didn't stop the kids from having fun.

Then that night Clifton had party with a couple friends.  They went to Top Golf for his birthday.
They had a blast!  

While they partied we played at the park while Stanley had baseball practice.  He got his uniform and looks mighty handsome!
A great night!

Wednesday we went to play at Dream Park

Then the kids had a St. Patricks day sale.  Tattoos and green suckers.
Just supporting my kids.
St Patrick Day dinner.

Thursday we headed to Louisiana.
Got out our wiggles out at the airb&b. 
Then dinner out for Clifton's birthday.
Then getting more wiggles out with Clifton's new present. Glow in the dark soccer ball.

Looking around Shreveport in the morning then heading out to a swamp tour.
It was a little longer than expected and hard for the kids to be on the boat for 2 hours.  But it was a lot of fun and pretty cool out there.  We didn't see any alligators cause it was a little chillier than we wanted.

The next day we headed to Gator and Friends which I was attracted us to that area of Louisiana.
Such a fun place!  We had a blast.  Worth the trip out there.  On our way out we stopped at the Louisiana state line for a picture.
Then headed home.  Another great trip in the books!

Sunday we slept in a little and recovered from the trip.  Enjoyed church and made a yummy treat for Sunday bakeday.
