Goalie!

Madison played on her first soccer team this month. She was so excited to do it...until it was game time. She all of a sudden got super shy and wouldn't even go on the field some weeks. With just a couple of weeks left in the season her coach finally found what she loved, being goalie. She would go in the game only if she could play goalie.

Mads with her trophy and her treats!
The whole team.

ASB

This last week Sam decided to run for ASB (Student Council). She spent a lot of time getting applications filled out, writing her speech and making this cute poster. It all paid off because she won! I am so proud of her and I am excited for her to be involved in it next year!

Cup cake cookies

A couple of weeks ago my mom sent us a cute cupcake cookie cutter and we couldn't wait to use it. We also got out our new princess crown cookie cutter from Grandma Vicki. We had so much fun making them. According to Amanda I was having too much fun!

Field Trip

Shaun took a couple of days off of work last week to go on field trips with Connor and Sam. He didn't have a camera on his trip to the Wild Animal Park with Connor but Sam brought hers on her Field trip to SDSU. I think they both had a great time with their dad.

Mother's Day 2011

Every year I love making treats for some of my mommy friends. This is what I made this year. You can find the idea here.
This is what Sam made me for Mother's day at Girl Scouts. The bigger jar was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. In the smaller jars were two bath salts, a lemon one and a strawberry one. I loved it! I also got a new vacuum and I LOVE it! Sad, but true!

Teacher appreciation

Teacher appreciation week seems to sneak up on me every year. On Monday, the first day of teacher appreciation week our school always has you bring a flower to your teachers. I struggle with that because you can't buy them too far ahead or they wilt and we don't shop on Sunday so I always end up at the grocery store early Monday morning. This year I decided to try and avoid that and instead see what I had around the house. This is what I came up with. All I can say is , "Man I have a lot of STUFF hanging around this house!"

Crazy boy/ crazy hair

During Sam's softball tournament this year her coach told the girls that if they won they could spray paint his hair any color that they wanted. They won, but I didn't get a picture of the coach, just a picture of Connor who wanted in on the fun. Since Shaun helped coach, Connor spent a lot of the time in the dugout with him and he kind of became the team mascot. He knew all the softball cheers as well as the girls! He had a blast getting his hair spray painted too!

Easter

I was excited for Easter this year because for the first time in about 10 years the Easter bunny had new places to hide the eggs! The only sad part was that I finally have a child that is not excited to dye eggs with her family. Can you pick her out in the picture?
Any guesses on whose eggs these are?!

We still miss you

Just so you know Holman family, we still miss you!
And Connor's chalkboard wall still looks like this.
