Legoland california (by Landry)

We were at Legoland. Each one of us taked turns holding the lightsaber.



Then I was driving a volvo car made out of
legos!

Logan and I were riding a lego horse and fight

on a target and a lego men said (oh-no not again

Boing! Hey that wasn't so bad!) We had fun on that!

This is the part when Dad and Logan and me were fighting with water

guns made out of legos! and shoot water at other people Wow! Can you

believe that? Awesome isn't it! I loved being at Legoland!

Oh and this is my lost tooth! hooray! Cool isn't it? My eyes are closed

because I think that I am looking down or maybe my eyes are a little bit small

because maybe I'm just too excited that I have my tooth loose! And my other tooth

is starting to grow. And that's another hooray!!

It's A Sad World!

Well, unfortunately we were unable to ride "It's a Small World" this time at Disneyland. The ride was closed, so we took a picture by the sign keeping us from the ride...as you can see, it's a very sad picture. But we soon recovered in the pictures below...


The boys were so excited to take pictures with the characters. Here are a few of the ones we saw...these smiles are not even staged...they were just really that excited!!

Landry & Logan giving bear hugs...

The whole family with Tigger!!
You can't see him very well, but this picture is of Landry's first roller coaster ride...by himself!! He kept asking to go alone and finally we gave in and he rode the Dragon Coaster all by himself! This was definitely much more difficult for mom than for Landry...he couldn't wait to go again!

...at Disneyland far, far away...

We're back from vacation! The weather was amazing! It was perfect the whole time we were in California...about 70 to 80 degrees and dry, and the evenings were cool. Pretty strange to folks from Texas where it's usually hot and humid...yuck! We almost took a detour on the way home toward Colorado because we could feel it getting hotter about every couple of hours in the car! We stopped in Flagstaff, Arizona on our way home and got caught in about 30 minutes of a beautiful snowstorm!! It was about 40 degrees there and we didn't want to leave! We had such a good time together. My favorite picture from the trip is the first one below. Logan did not want anything to do with the beach the whole way to California...he kept saying, "No beach Mom! The beach is closed!" So, we decided to call it "the coast" (thanks Mom for that idea) so we could get him there without too much of a problem. He started out only wanting to make sand castles with me on the sand, and then slowly we got him to try the water. By the time we were leaving, he didn't want to go. I love this picture of my boys. And the ocean was gorgeous.


Landry & Logan had a unique opportunity to become Jedi Knights at Disneyland. In this picture, Darth Vader has unexpectedly arrived (after the boys have gone through training to become Jedi's)...Logan is at the front of the line and though you can't see it in the picture, his eyes were so big! The "training class" was so realistic...and the costumes were amazing.


Here's Logan fighting the "angry guy" (Darth Maul)...he really got into it!!

And Landry takes on Darth Maul with moves only a Jedi could understand...

This was the finale of the show...Darth Vader was trying to get the kids to turn to "the dark side", but as you can see, Landry & Logan stood strong!

Dinosaur World

I've been out of things for a while again. But I give my last final exam tomorrow and so I feel like I can breathe again! This picture is Logan at "Finale Night" for our co-op classes. He was supposed to wear a dinosaur mask, and somehow ended up going as a pirate. What's funny about this picture is that this tough pirate was mesmorized by the children on stage who were using sign language with their songs! My sensitive little pirate!




Here is Landry dressed as a cowboy...he has the yellow shirt on...and his group (from a Pioneers and Patriots class) was dressed as cowboys, sitting around the campfire, and singing.


This is another adventure we went on recently...Dinosaur World in Glen Rose! There were 100 life size dinosaurs and we got to dig for fossils...it was all kinds of fun! Here is Landry & Logan inside the mouth of a dinosaur!


Logan in front of his favorite dinosaur...Triceratops!


Landry's favorite...Tyrannasauras Rex!
