Alex was out of town, so I got some company in bed...

Last basketball game

My grape fruit flowers smell soooo good!!

Me and the boys went up to Jacksonville while Alex was out of town. Aunt Cindy and Uncle Danny watched the boys while I went to a musical with Aunt Jackie. I great show! We spent the night with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Danny and had a great day in Jacksonville with them the day after. Some of the boys had had too much fun the night before and was a little cranky but that did not prevent us from enjoying a sunny day with beach and fancy lunch :-)

One of the favorite games when I was a kid was The Amazing Labyrinth and I found it online and we have enjoyed playing it together :-)

Trying to make the best of this gorgeous weather before it gets too hot! So what is better than a walk in the park!? :-)

I love these oaks!

Snack break

Alex ended his trip in Colorado where the plan was to go skiing with his brother and parents. However, Corona hit and all the ski resort closed before they had a chance to go skiing :-(  At least he got to see his brother and enjoy beautiful Colorado a little.

This school year Noah took a Word class online and he has liked it a lot. This was not part of the class but he has done all kinds of things in Words after that. Here is one that I thought was pretty cool.

Sorry, more sleeping...

 And that was the first half of March... And historical time since this is when countries started to get serious about Corona/Covid, and people will always remember 2020...

February was about airplane ride and boat ride

 We still had some Christmas to celebrate even in February!!

Field trip to Jacksonville to see the Shanghai Circus. It was really cool!!

Beach day!

And Arcade day :-)

Back to school again!

The Young Eagles arrange for kids to fly small planes. It is for kids 8 and up, and it is free! It was really amazing!

Back down on the ground again

I kept the little siblings es while our friend took the big boys surfing.

Back in school, Gabriel's and Rafael's class mate had a presentation about the headset the race track drivers use. They all got to try to communicate through them. 

Another cowboy in this house :-)

Visited some friends at their farm in Anthony, FL, and the kids got to run some fun stuff!!

Lizzy wants to go out but not sure she dares....

We went down to Miami for a speech that Alex had down in the Keys and farmor and farfar took us for a boat ride!

When a "man" has got to go a man has got to go...

We got some Turkey eggs from our farm friends. Slightly bigger than chicken eggs.

Gabriel at basketball

Rafael got to go to a Princess birthday party. The cutest thing ever!!

Spa for mamma and basket ball for (some of the) the boys

I ended January with a spa day in Ponce Inlet with some friends. It was a wonderful day with good food, a pedicure and great company.

Before the month was over me and Alex went to Orlando for an event where he was the facilitator. And we left all the kids with some friends in Ormond, who also have four children, except, they have three under 4 years old! Here are some pictures they sent us. Seems like the boys had a great time!

A big slumber party with small guests

Homeschooling at its best!? Gabriel is practicing reading and Rafael is playing with my hair.

Alex took Gabriel to the barber, who did not want to cut his hair because it was too long. He recommended another barber so Alex and Gabriel went over there. The new barber kept talking about how great he was and this was the result!!!

MacGyver style!!!

I had to adjust it a little to make him look reasonable, lol!

Our own little cowboy!

Art time at the coop :-)

Marlee and Gabriel wanted to play basket ball this semester so that's what they did.
