Lego Land

During October break we took a vacation to California. While there we enjoyed a few of California's "sweet" spots. Too many pictures to post all at once so here is a couple of our days in pictures. One of the days there we went to Lego Land. The kids actually like Lego Land more than Disney Land. Lego Land is catered to only younger kids so the boys could ride a ton of rides. Paisley and I got to hang out a lot together while the "big" kids got to play. They did have a lot for little kids (Paisley) to do also. We played with a whole lotta Legos and played in the many play areas. We are already planning our next trip to Lego Land before the boys get too big.

We were spoiled and our Hotel was right on the beach. We loved taking family walks at night down the beach. Here is one night when Paisley was super tired and didn't want to even sit up for a picture.

Quick family picture before the sun set. We had all just gotten out of the pool hence me in the hat and Paisley without her hair done.

My silly monkey boys,

Paisley with her messy hair.

I love this picture. This picture now hangs in the boys' room. I love Tytan's smile and Ridge's "I'm too tough" pose.

At Lego Land. Cheesing it up while showing off her belly. Playing in one of the play areas with the giant Legos On a ride with Daddy Paisley Ridge on a train ride. I bet you can't guess what one of his favorite rides was. This was both of the boys very favorite ride. They got to race these cars around and crash into stuff. Any boys dream. Pete's favorite part of Lego Land. He had to make sure we got a picture with Darth. Putting on our 3D glasses before the movie. Notice her funky hair. She will not keep anything in her hair more than a few minutes. Tytan trying on his glasses. You would think being a children's theme park they would make the glasses a tad smaller. The boys going down a giant slide Since we were there right before Halloween they had an entire Trick or' Treating area. Kids getting some loot. It was super cold while we were there and not very many kids were in the water park section. During one of the times Paisley and I were waiting for the boys she wanted to go in. I thought it would be fine to wade her feet a little. Before long she was doing a little more than getting her feet wet...(see pic. below) After about 5 minutes of water fun she looked like this. She LOVED IT. Didn't mind one bit that it was freezing. She screamd when I made her get out. After a change of clothes all was well. Boys & Paisley playing on the big tree house. Ridgey Boo Tytan and Paisley. Until next time Lego Land...We miss you already.

Halloween

I am one of those people that does not love Halloween. I do not love getting bombarded with candy and the spooky feeling associated with this holiday. I do love the weather and the fun feeling in the air because we all know Christmas is right around the

corner. I also do love being able to see my children's smiles as they pick

out their costumes and the first time they try them on.

My Strawberry Fairy (what is that exactly couldn't tell you but it was too cute to pass up), Frightening werewolf, & Thomas the Train.

My Strawberry Fairy.

family pictures 2011

Family pictures 2011... Do family pictures ever get easier? Picking out the clothes to praying the kids are on their best behavior it seems to always be a lot of work. This year it made it a lot easier/harder depending how you look at it. I had all of a few days to pick out clothes we were all to wear. Are they my favorite NO does it all work fine Yes. It was easier this year since I did only have a few days to stress and run to stores to find clothes instead of a month plus. The pictures came out great and will be hanging on our walls for the next year until we decide to do all of this crazy stress again. Here are just a very small few of the pictures taken that day. If I get around to it soon I will post more later...All 3 kids did surprising well. We did bribe them with a frosty if they were good and it seemed to work. Of course there has to be at least one kissing picture. Paisley Sue I love the background of this picture more then I love the faces we are all making. Again I love the background. The sun shinning through is my favorite. For some reason my mouth looks like it is all twisted when this picture is small but if you click on it then you get the real deal.

AZ Grand Resort

During the summer we took a family trip to AZ Grand Resort. It was a blast for kids and parents. I don't have a lot of pictures since we were in the water for 2 days straight. We all came home with a nice tan and and a lot of good memories. Pete and I have already decided this will be a yearly trip. Enjoy the few pics. I have from the Resort.

Tytan enjoying the kiddy area. He didn't want to have to be in the area with all the babies but he knew he had to oblige his sister if he wanted to get to the bigger and better water fun. Tytan's favorites were the water slides and lazy river.

Ridge cutting a rug. Ridge was our little fish. He didn't ever want to get out of the water. Ridge's favorites were the lazy river and wave pool.

Paisley getting on her sunblock before she could enjoy any more sun. Paisley's favorite was the lazy river. She fell asleep on daddy during one of our many trips around.

Paisley and me in our hotel room right before heading out the door to the water park.

The boys anxious to get out to go swimming You know you had a good vacation when all 3 children fall asleep in random places while Pete and I are unloading the car. Until next year!

Paisley

My favorite picture of the summer. My favorite part of this picture is when you look at Ridge in the back ground he doesn't have a speck of mud on him. Yet the little "princess" is covered head to toe. The rest of the pictures from our fun mud filled day coming later.Paisley @ 17 months
