March

March was a busy month!

 Kaycee dressed as a Mexican Senorita for her California Days.  She learned all about our state!

 Happy 10th Birthday Kaycee!

 Lauren and Sydney both got braces!  

Matthew's class took a field trip to Legoland!  

 They were able to build a car and race it.  Matthew and his friend Jacob had one of the fastest cars!


 After the lessons on friction and physics learned by building Lego cars, we got to go on some rides!


Gary took Lauren skiing!  They met with her friend and her Dad.





 Sydney, Kaycee and Matthew all started tennis lessons.

 Lauren started playing in the California Oaks Tennis League.  She played really well!










Gary took Lauren and Sydney to Indian Wells (just outside of Palm Springs) to watch the US Tennis Open.  They watched Roger Federer play!






 Sydney had her spring Composers Recital.  She played Arabesque by JF Burgmuller


Kaycee's birthday!

Kaycee had a Luau party this year!  We had a photo booth, played pin the coconut on the palm tree, the limbo, and a dress up like a Hawaiian tourist game!  We ate pizza and drank Hawaiian punch on beach towels, and enjoyed yummy shaved ice!  
Aloha!










February

February brought Sydney's birthday, a Supercross race for the boys, Valentines Day, and a visit from  Mark and Emily!  We had all the Green cousins together! 












Sydney's birthday!


In February we celebrated Sydney's 12th birthday!  She wanted to have a cooking party.  We had the girls rotate--a few inside making pizzas with Gary, the rest outside playing games.  We played the flour game--what's that?  You pack flour into a cup, and carefully dump it out, so that the flour holds the shape of the cup, like a sand castle.  Then you put a single lifesaver on the top of the flour.  Each person slices off a piece of the flour with a knife.  If you make the flour topple, you have to get the lifesaver with your tongue!  No hands!


 You usually end up looking like this:



After a few rounds, it ended up being a big flour fight!

 We also played tag

After the pizza and games it was time to decorate cakes!  






It was a very fun party!  Happy Birthday Sydney!!
