Life Lately - Busy Week - School and Soccer


Monday
Caleb ready for his field trip - Ella wanted to wear her New Hope shirt too! 
Our group of boys at the Life and Science Museum in Durham - me and Rebecca teamed up! 
Looking at the farm animals 
Learning about bees 
In the butterfly house 
Best buddies and twins for the day 
Trying to stand still so a butterfly would land on them 
Caleb loved the dinosaur exhibit 
Looks like the dinosaur is about to get them 
The bear was hiding behind him in the cage 
Lemurs in the background 
Me and my boy 
With Natalie - cute little New Hope Knights 
Driving the boats 
Making sound waves 
They loved the mist garden 
Shooting out balls 
It was hot, we had 11 wild boys between us but we survived! 
Caleb and Charlie - sweet friends 
Digging for fossils and shark teeth
We got the sad news that Daddy Marshall had gone to heaven.  He lived across the street from us growing up and was a sweet man! 
Ella had a soccer game - look at her getting more aggressive.
She is good at stopping and turning the ball! 
Hanging with Claire's girls while she was with her mom in surgery

Tuesday 
This girl doesn't know how good she has it - she was tired so Caleb carried her! 
Caleb had a soccer game - these two watched and ate snacks :) 
Caleb loves when people come to see him play! 
He scored a goal!  He was so proud! 
We got our Teacher Appreciation gifts done!

Wednesday 
Ella's teacher is reviewing the alphabet backwards - here she is on "Y"ellow Day 

Thursday
Daddy Marshall served in the army so his graveside was really special! 
STEAM Night at school - Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math
First session was pod racing 
Ella made an angel to race 
They got to race down the line 
Caleb built a big "pod" 
Once they raced they got to go back and work on it some more to make it faster 
They raced several times and made improvements each time 
I love seeing their work in the hallway 
Next station was to make a robotic hand 
These two engineering minds were trying to figure it out - me and Ella were kind of over this station!
We stopped by to visit the bunnies and they were chowing down on the leaves we gave them!

Friday 
Caleb's 8th Birthday
He was happy to have a delay to school due to storms!

(See separate birthday post)

Saturday
Up early playing with his new presents 
Caleb did an awesome job as goalie at his soccer game 
Ella had a blast at Aubree's birthday party - D'Shay (Aubree's mom) is the ultimate party mom! 
Piñata time 
It was a painting party and everyone painted their own cupcake picture and a got cute monogrammed apron
We went to Claire's to celebrate David's birthday and watch the Kentucky Derby 
The three amigos 
Fun with friends! 
Claire wins house parties and gets free stuff and all she has to do is send in a picture - here we are with the Palmolive freebies!
