Nora's 1st Grade Musical- Larry The Lobster and Folk Dancing









Nora's Field Day

Her Field Day got moved into the Gym but I don't think she cared a bit- and she racked up on Blue and Red ribbons.  1st place in Broad Jump that she practiced at her grandparent's so she was pumped about that! 










3rd Grade Field Day for DF









Lights, Camera, Action (3rd Grade Musical)

DF's musical was Lights, Camera, Action and they could dress up as a movie character.  DF and Avery chose Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.  DF was Burr.  It is Broadway and not a movie, but the teacher didn't mind and said he thought it'd get turned into a movie one day anyway.  They were super cute, but I just kept thinking how much older they all looked! 








Lion King


We went to Little Rock to see the Lion King musical, their first ever Broadway play (off Broadway, obviously).  They loved it- and I was considering leaving Isaac at home because I thought he may fall asleep and it wouldn't hold his attention, boy was I wrong!  He was enthralled and the other kids conked out! Fun night out!

Spring has sprung!

We got a new farm house table for outside and it's already gotten plenty of use, we love eating dinner outside on that new table and can't wait to make many memories around it.  The kids also couldn't hold off jumping in the lake- freezing water- just look at Nora's face!  They just didn't seem to care.  We also went for our first boat ride and Nora took her gymnastics mat out there and gave Isaac some lessons.  :)
Nora also lost her first tooth last weekend!!!!  She's been dying to lose a tooth so she was pumped! I bet now more will follow because I spy a new tooth coming in.  Growing up!!! 






Striper Fishing on Ouachita

Mr. John Hall is a long time fishing guide and his wife, Nancy works at the bank with Franklin.  He has talked about taking us fishing for a long time and this Sunday it happened.  I agreed to join the adventure before I knew about the 4 AM wake up call but it was worth it and we caught lots of fish.  Franklin had a fish fry for us that night and did fried fish, grilled fish and blackened and we got to chose our favorite.  We all liked the fried the best and grilled second.  DF took a nap on the boat, he was worn out!!
