Easter Fun

On Saturday we held the first Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt for all of the neighborhood kids.
We started off with making bracelets and decorating cookies while the eggs were hidden all around the houses.
Frosting first....
...then into the toppings we go.  Fun Times!
Brewer and I dyed some Easter Eggs.
Brewer's favorite was the orange and mine was the lime green one!  Daddy liked the yellow one and Cooper was liking the orange one too!

Cooper's Concert

Cooper has been practicing hard the past few weeks for the Annual Orchestra concert.  We invited all of the Grandparents and Auntie Sue and Uncle Fred to join us in listening to the concert.  
Grandpa was able to capture some awesome pictures of him playing, as we did not have the best seats in the house.
Awesome concert Cooper!

Sandy Ice

Grandma and Grandpa Beck came down for Cooper's Concert on Saturday.  On Friday night we went down to the lake in hopes to see the Super Moon.  However, it was too cloudy.
 Instead we found huge ice blocks that were covered in sand!
The boys had fun jumping ice berg to ice berg, while Mom and Grandma watched nervously.

Cooper's Award

Cooper came home from school with 102 degree fever and immediately went to bed.  Upon going through his folder, I found his character sticker and award for showing improvement in his work.
I was so bummed since he was so sick and out of it to show off what he got!  We are still proud of you!

Lucky Outfit Reigns Again

Brewer wore the same camo pants and number 3 shirt that he has been rewarded in with a Character Sticker again today.  And again came home with another Character Sticker.  These stickers and rewards are a big deal as they get to run through the halls for recognition by all of the students at the end of the month! We have dubbed this outfit as the lucky outfit!
Brewer got ANOTHER character sticker....
for Showing Awesome Character by Congratulating the Other Team for a Win!

Faces That We Love

How can one not love these two???

Jujitsu Seminar

On Friday, February 13th, S&S Martial Arts hosted a Carlson Gracie Jujitsu Seminar.  Carlson Gracie Jr. came up from Chicago to give the group insight on Jujitsu and some new how to's for new moves.  The groups valued from his critiques as they rolled and sparred with one another.
First the kids went.  Mr. Antone and Mr. Gracie Jr. gave instructions and demonstrations of the technique to work on.  Then the kids were paired up to practice with one anther.
Cooper and Ethan are working together as Mr. Gracie is giving pointers.
Brewer and Robbie are working hard.
Another take down....
