On Friday, May 18 the grade school had Field Day and all school cookout. Usually they had a play day at the grade school with just games but this year we went to the high school and did some games and some track events. They also had races that the kids loved. It was great for them to learn at an early age about how track works. After the cookout they had tug of war between the classes. Jaxon's class won for first grade which means my class lost.
My class.
Jaxon got second in his heat which I think was the fastest heat from his class. They didn't give awards so we're not sure. But he was happy with what he did. He said he beat some kids he hadn't beat before.
Jemma still likes to put on her shoes. She really likes these sandals because they make noise on the floor. She likes to stomp and tap on the kitchen floor. She does really good walking in them even though they are a little big.
Since Jaxon's birthday is in June we celebrated his birthday at school in May. We ended up not really having a theme. I found some cool Pinterest ideas that Jaxon went for. We made rainbow cake in a jar. It didn't quite turn out like the picture because I had to stretch it for 17 kids but it worked out good enough. In the pic I saw you could see the colors on the outside. For some reason the blue and purple was really big but not the other colors. The kids were excited as they ate it and found the other colors though.
Getting ready. Jaxon spraying the jars.
Getting the batter ready.
So I just realized that I didn't get a good pic of the end product on my camera but I did get some on my Ipad. I have too much to do right now to try and get it off of there. You can check my facebook page if you really want to see it. Sorry I'm lazy. You can kind of see it here.
I also got some bottles of pop that Jaxon thought was so cool because they've never had pop at a birthday party.
We found these mustaches at dollar tree. The kids loved them!
Jaxon had his spring music program Tuesday, May 15. They had it at the Satanta high school and was all K-6. Since family had just been here for Satanta Day, they couldn't come back. I wasn't really thinking of that so I didn't really have any plans for Jemma. They had the audience on one side of the gym and the teachers with students on the other. So we ended up just taking turns watching Jemma. She did pretty well and even kept my kids occupied.
Mother's Day was the Sunday after Satanta Day so everyone came out to us. Of course I forgot to get the camera out so I don't have any pics while everyone was there. We went to church then went out to eat and hung around the house for a little bit. The best Mother's Day gift was a nap when everyone left and Blake had made supper when I woke up. I did get a few shots before the nap and all the nice clothes came off.
Here were a few before church when I remembered the camera then I forgot it. I love Jaxon's outfit he put together.
Of course we didn't get a good one of both kids. Jaxon had an attitude by this time and was needing a nap himself.
Love this one! Typical!
Tried to get one of just me and Jemma after Jaxon stormed off. No dice!
