Fancy filters.

Brazil v Panama, and the Bolder Boulder!

We went to see Brazil play Panama, an international "friendly" match.  Eli's friend Jonah and his dad Andre (from Brazil), and their friend Alex and his dad Kevin joined us!  Adam Johnson came using Jesse's ticket, as Jesse opted to stay and play.

My boy finished a 10k run today!

The end of U11 soccer, the end of 5th grade...

My child, "dabbing" in front of the class before getting his "Yay! You finished elementary school!!" certificate. 

SHAKESPEARE! A Comedy of Errors

Eli's class participated in "A Comedy of Errors" on the CU campus and it was awesome!!!  Six 5th grade classes from 6 different schools were selected to act out 2 scenes each, and  interpret in their own way.  It was a great experience for the kids!  Eli's class was THE BEST, and I'm not just biased. They really rocked it.  And they had a flash mob: 

The end of soccer, for a few weeks anyway

Spring soccer has come to a close, with a lot of travel around the state!  Steamboat springs, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction...  hotels were stayed in with the team, memories were created!

STEAM! Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math!

Playing with robotic balls,  you control with an ipad.

Engineering, robotics, electronics...

Learning silk screening!

Nut jobs. 

Making chain mail.

Wearing their silkscreen shirts and learning about shining armor. 

Jesse with his chain mail key chain. 

We went, with friends Alex and Andrew, to the STEAM event in Longmont.  The boys LOVED IT.  They had such cool things for them to do, I couldn't get enough pictures. 

All kinds of things going on

Eli got to play bubble soccer at his friend Jonah's birthday party.

 Jesse's drawing of himself playing basketball.

Jesse got to be on the Donut Baseball team in a play at school.  He borrowed the jersey from our friend Aidyn, who plays on the Boulder High School team.

I love this picture.

Jesse and Andrew practicing their shots. 

Jesse in heaven.  This is not our bear.. thank goodness.

 Oregon has some dramatic landscapes. 

 And dramatic poses.

 And music.

And science fair projects... I love the look on Eli's face.
