Adeline art, Hale theater, ward party and spring break reveal

Out of order pic. This was Adeline's most recent art project at art class. I was SO impressed with her drawing skills. She told me she does NOT like to draw flowers though :(

Her new pink glasses came and it was so exciting! No more scratches!

For Christmas, the padres gave our family tickets to the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang youth production at Hale. It was in their new Beehive theatre which was so pretty. It was a fun show. We all agreed not our favorite, but the casting and scenes were excellent. I love how they put so so much into the youth productions.

Books and buddies at Vista last week. 

Adeline's self portrait from art class. 

We started back up piano again. She was so frustrated that we took a couple months break over the holidays. We have some catching up to do but maybe she will be more excited about it.

Reveal for our fun Orlando spring break trip.

We had a ward party of game night and treats. They had this fun bubble area for kids. Adeline blew some REALLY big bubbles!

Hard to see, but this was huge!

Liam won his board game. 

From Christmas 2024, the padres got us and Sade and Adam tickets to Frozen at the Hale. It was AMAZING! The production and stage design and technology was the best I have ever seen. They did SO much with the scenery and props. WOW! I think this was one of the best shows I have ever seen there, if not the best. 

Adeline and her most recent favorite dress. 

Evelyn has been putting her hair up again all by herself. I thought this was impressive for her!
 

Liam's 15th birthday celebration

Out of order pic of a nice long sleeved shirt the padres gave Liam.

We were going to go and do a race car sim racing thing that morning, but the night before we found out they were all booked for the Martin Luther King holiday. So since Ryan only had to work the afternoon shift, we used our Get Out Pass to go do something new at this sports simulator game. 

Here was a quarterback throw game. It was kind of tricky.

We played the quarterback game for a bit and then switched to hockey. 

Evelyn was really good at the hockey one. 

Proof I was there. 

We also did some soccer scoring. 

Action shot.

And for a few minutes at the end we did football goal kicking. We liked this one the best. 

Liam wanted Wingstop for dinner so we got some wings and the best fries he has ever had. Some of us just got chicken sandwiches :) And we watched Mean Girls movie (not the girls they watched something else) per Liam's request. He really liked that movie which was a huge surprise to me.

Had ice cream for a birthday treat. 

It was a more low key birthday since most of his presents were given a couple weeks ago with Darrow and his cage stuff, but it was fun. We love you Liam!
 

Adeline's blue glasses for a day, date with Collin, and Liam's new crested gecko

Out of order pic of Darrow.

Adeline has needed new glasses for awhile since hers have gotten so scratched. She ON HER OWN said she wanted a blue pair, so we ordered some and then, she hated them. So we returned them and got another pink pair just like her current ones, but we have at least one pic of her in the blue ones. 

Took Collin on a Saturday date adventure to Handel's ice cream. 

Liam got another crested gecko as part of his early birthday present. 

He is bigger than Echo was, in hopes that he won't totally and utterly disappear. So far in the couple of weeks we have had him all is well. Here he is when we just brought him home.

Liam is also taking guitar this semester so we got him a guitar. He is pretty good about playing and practicing.

Winter break, mini golf at the Rush Funplex

Out of order pic and playing the basketball shooting game in the arcade for free apparently. 

We still had a couple days off for winter break January 5-6 due to teacher workdays, so we used our Get Out Pass and went mini golfing at the Rush Funplex. It was a little intense but fun.

We have gotten slightly better at being kind while mini golfing and better putters as well.

This is a fun course because it is all in dark light. You go through the nine holes twice. 

Some of my pictures were very blurry apparently. 

It was a fun afternoon activity.
