Isaac Newton and his Laws of Motion

Charlee was surprised by her experiment.

Reilly making a face at me.

This week we went to our science class at the AZ Science Center. We are really enjoying them. We go about twice a month. This time it was on the Laws of Motion. They did several fun experiments and we were very surprised by one. Charlee's face is great in this one.

SOCCER

Charlee and Reilly are both on Soccer teams (Parks and Rec) this year.

Charlee is a RAILHAWK and is on a 10-12 year old team. Her birthday is a few days before the cutoff. She is the only one on her team that is young and inexperienced. The rest of her team are 11/12 years old and most of them have played club Soccer before. She is getting thrown into the fire, but I have noticed she is learning a ton. She comes home from Soccer and is so sore, she has been going straight into a hot bath and then to bed. I had to give her Advil this morning because she was so sore. (poor baby)

Reilly is a CREW. He is on an 8-10 year old team. His coach is a friend from our ward, and there are several member of our ward on our team. He is having a wonderful time learning and playing with other kids. He is also sleeping really well at night.

Of course, practice couldn't be on the same night, so Monday through Thursday we are gone for a couple of hours. It is only for a few months and we are all having fun.

More pictures to come....

Class Room

Hard at work

Reilly Cartoonized

Reilly is doing great with the home schooling. I am always amazed at how well it is going!!:)
The only difficulity we were having was school was at the kitchen table, and next to the door. OK so distraction gallore! So when Julie put her desk on the WVS blog (Thanks Julie). The light went on and I thought it would be perfect for a school desk in the office.

Flag Ceremony

SCOUTS FLAG CEREMONY

On Tuesday February 10. Brenden was asked to help with the flag ceremony for Reilly's Cub Scout Troop. He's a Wolf. He arranged for some airmen to come and do a flag ceremony. It was awesome and I think the boy's will remember it for a long time. They all learned how to fold the flag and then each had a turn to raise and lower the flag. What an awesome memory!

Creative Cooking

Charlee proud of her Yummy chocolate chip cookies.
1st time taking them out of the stove. (This air is burning my skin)

The Great Baker!!!

On Saturday, Charlee decided she wanted to make cookies all by herself, well with me supervising. She had a wonderful time and really learned a lot. (especially when it came to doubling everything).

She did a great job and they were very yummy.

I had to hide some of the cookies so B and C could take them on Monday to work and school.

Cranky

I had to post this, Reilly was sick all last week with a high fever and a cold. This was one day he was especially miserable and cranky. He didn't want anyone to bother him.
