Easter 2017

Easter happenings: 

Egg Dying. (I'm realizing our Spring photos have a whole lot of eye-black due to baseball/softball)

Waking up to Easter baskets!

Thatcher's bed head!

The hunt!

Biking to breakfast. 

Breakfast in the sand.

Monkeying Around

Video: Hanging from palm trees isn't the safest thing to do. 

Games at Shoreline.

Picnic with the neighborhood. 

Egg toss time!

Down to just a few teams. 

The last catch! And look who won?!

Love that the kids can go from an egg toss to surfing! 

Finding the ice cream man!

As if they didn't have enough candy that day. 

Ending the night with a movie at the Mochi's house. 

Father Daughter Dance 2017

It was a Sock Hop theme for this year's Father Daughter dance!

How cute is this little number that we borrowed from a neighbor?!

Guess who took longer to get ready?

Meanwhile, my Mesa Cafe date, straight from a baseball game. 

Surprise. Surprise. Look who joined later!

Thatcher's 7-Year Checkup

7-year well visit!

Our doctor's office needs an update SO BAD! 

Other than that, his eyes and ears checked out fine. 

57 pounds (75%)

Gained 7 pounds from last year. 

And this is last year, apparently he likes this position on the scale. 

50 inches (90%)

He grew 2 inches from last year. 

The finger prick to test his iron. 

He always likes to say, "I LOVE THIS PART!"

It's all an act. ;) 

How's that finger, Thatcher? 

Dr. Abbott and his Simpson's poster. 

On second thought, maybe skip the remodel because they may take down the AWESOME decor! ;) 

First Grade Student of the Month - Thatcher

Thatcher's turn for Student of the Month!

I've yet to fully surprise either kid with them not knowing they are getting an award. That cute little blonde in the photo, Layla, exclaimed, "THATCHER YOUR MOM'S HERE!" And just like that, another awards assembly where my kid knows they are getting one. Oh well. 

Samantha skipped class to show her support. 

Student of the Month for "Being Athletic". We'll take it! ;) 

Video: Thatcher getting his award (I love how all the kids knew who it was just by Mrs. Howe's description) 

After school McDonald's caramel sundae reward! 

And a few bites for Lollipop because she had something to do with the award too. Not really, but she's part of the fam. ;)
