Happy birthday Eli!

Thought I would finally post the pics I took from Eli's birthday party. Eli wanted all his cousins to come so we had a cook out and everyone had a great time. Eli had his friends over Memorial Day weekend. I didn't get any pics bc keeping nearly 10 14yr old boys feed- was a full time job! He had a great time playing video games with his friends. 
Image
I think the big kids like the park as much as the little ones do.
Image
Yee-ha!!!
Image
Gotta be like Eli!
Image
This could end badly.
Image
Boys will be boys!
Image
I love seeing the kids play with Colin. He runs around with them and always asking them to pick him up. Noah was great giving him a piggy back everywhere.
Image
The master minds! Growing so fast!
Image
Where is Cassi going?
Image
Thx Andrew for doing all the grilling!
Image
Yummy food!
Image
Cassi likes her cupcake!

After dinner, the kids wanted a kids vs grown ups volleyball game. Andrew, Jen, dad and myself took on the challenge. We played the oldest 5. After beating them badly, Eli and Scott decided to join the winning team and Jen played with the other boys. All the boys were shocked at the adults diving for the ball-even Papa! Hopefully we can get together again before school starts again. It's been a busy summer so far and can't believe it's almost July!

Titanic

Lucas's last big project of the year was about the Titanic. He did his project on the first class library. So ask him some questions- he probably knows all the answers. After the projects, the 5th grade classes had a huge party. Food/games and loads of fun!
Image
The food!

Image
Musical lifeboats- ( musical chairs) this was my station and was quite surprised that the kids would love it so much! And luckily no one was seriously injured.
Image
Musical lifeboats made everyone hungry!!!

Titanic memory

Sunken treasure

Lucas stuck his face in the icy water. Burrr!
Image
Lucas's masterpiece.

School picnic and field day

The last week of school, Lucas had the all school picnic and field day. It was hot and sunny! I helped out at the snack table and I lost track of all the water we went through. 
Image
A quick pic before Lucas ran off with his friends!

Cup stacking
Image
Sponge race- great way to cool off
Image
I am thinking they got extra wet on purpose! Smart boys!
Image
High jump! Lucas was so excited to be tied for first place!
