Kuentz camp

Julia chose the class Dippin into Dips.
The first day they decorated an apron and their recipe folder.  Each day after that they mad a dip each day and they got to sample them and bring some home.  She made a fruit dip that they had with strawberries and grapes, then a confetti dip and ate it with animal crackers, a caramel dip they ate with apples, and a cookie dough dip with graham crackers.   Her favorite were the caramel apple dip and the confetti dip.

Blake chose the Games from the Past
He said they separated into groups and did the same thing.  The first day they talked about tops, they also did marbles, dominos, and tic tac toe.  They showed a video on how to play marbles.  They spent their whole time playing.  Blake was sick on one of the days and missed when they did yoyo's.  He was able to get one later.

He was happy he chose that one and said it was fine.  He came home with the games he did.

We went with the Herrera's on Natalia and Blake's birthday to Freddy's to celebrate. 

May 4th had recently started to be Star Wars day because of the phrase "May the Force be with you".  In 2015 a new Star Wars movie was coming out and they hype of Star Wars day "May the fourth be with you" was really popular.  Matt thought a cake with that theme would be perfect for Blake's birthday.  

Blake's Birthday Party was on May 16th.  We didn't have a lot of time from when we decided to do it to when we had the party.  We didn't give people a lot of notice and we even invited Caleb Swinyard that morning when the kids had their piano recital.  Luckily the kids were very excited about the theme and helped with the preparations.  They were coming up with ideas on white can of food to do.  With a minecraft theme there was a lot of neat ideas for food.  We also used minecraft toys that we had to help decorate. 

For the activities they built minecraft blocks out of paper.  It was a kit we got Blake to use for his party.  They were a little harder for the kids to put together than we thought they would be.  The older ones had to help a lot.  They also made minecraft objects with pearler beads.  That ended up being a little tricky because there was only one iron to melt them together.  They tried to play outside with creeper balloons, but it was a little windy and they were blowing away.

Presents he received at his party:

*Caleb Swinyard - Lego Starwars Clone

*Bella and Brinlee Chatland - Football and Basketball

*Adia and Elias Hales - Bionicles

*Riley Moore - Lego Super Heros

*Deacon Speirs - Lego Batman

Missing UT Sweatshirts

Brayden went to school without his sweatshirt.  He was freaking out and didn't want to go to school. It was the only day during the school year he had gone without it.  He wears it in all kinds of weather.
He was asking if he could not go to school, or go back home to get it.

He let me know the reaction of his friends.  When he walked into Art his friend Alfonso said there is something different about you, and then said, "You forgot your jacket."
Alfonso asked Dominic if he knew what was different about Brayden.  He said a new haircut?  After a while he figured out and said, Oh he doesn't have his jacket.

Mason saw him in the hallway and said I don't know you anymore.  Where is your jacket?  In history Koi said, "Caldwell where is your jacket?"
