Legoland Returns

They look scared to be in a shark made out of legos mouth, don't they?!
















This ride was a blast if you didn't mind getting wet! Another reason legoland is so cool is that they have what is called a child swap. Translation- Dad rides with the boys and then mom can without waiting in the long lines. Isn't that cool? Again, I LOVE legoland!



















The boys loved the airplanes!

















This ride was one of the best rides at Legoland. It is the Indiana Jones ride for little guys! You shoot targets with a laser gun and you get points. I tried to snap a shot of them when they were on the ride but it was blurry, so here they are at the entrance.

Legoland

Legoland was amazing! Everything was made out of Legos! Marshall and Kason could go on most of the rides, and Brig could go on some too!! We ended up liking it so much that we got a year pass. We are Legoland fans!!

There was a huge play area where they had everything from a police station to a hospital. Obviously the boys spent alot of time here and had a blast!! One really cool thing about Legoland is you can bring food into the park which is so convenient and you save tons of money!!

This is the fire truck ride. Luckily they were in last place so I could snap a shot! Poor TJ didn't have much help. Oh wait, there is legoland guy there to help them cross the finish line!!


I still have lots of pictures to post but it wouldn't let me post more than 4 at a time for some reason!! Lots more pictures are coming - don't worry!

So when we came home our house was immaculate. I mean the floors were shining and we could actually see out the french doors! No we didn't leave it this way, TJ's amaziningly giving sweet dad cleaned our house and did our yard work while we were gone! Can you believe that! Not only did they let us use their time share which made the vacation but his dad cleaned our house from top to bottom. He even scrubbed the grout! I am still in awe! What a great surprise!! Thank-you soooo much. We love you guys!!

Headed to Cali!!!

Tomorrow we are headed on our first official family vacation to beautiful sunny California!! We are soooo excited!! f you ask Marshall where we are going he will tell you Legoland, the sea and California!! He is right on two accounts - we are going to Legoland, Seaworld and the San Diego zoo which are all in California!! The boys are dancing around the house singing to the tune of "California knows how to party" - CaliKason goes to Legoland, CaliBrother goes to see shamoo! It really is hilarious!!

Before we planned our trip to California we were going to go to Canada, but that is now cancelled. Marshall asked where Canada was, so I told him it was up north and pointed upward. He then innocently asked if Grandpa Schroeder could see him just like Jesus could because he lived above him!! Makes sense, right?! What a cutie!

Anyways, we'll be back next Friday and hopefully there will be many fun and exciting pictures to post!

Cousin Fun!!

Michaun and Maylee came to town and the boys got to experience the cousin life! They had a blast! We fed the fish, went to parks, and just hung out, it was fun!! Since Maylee has left, they can't stop talking about her!! "What kind of plane is Maylee on?" -Marshall "I want to play with MAYLEE!!" - Kason







Marshall sandwich down the slide!







We had an early birthday for Maylee, so the family could be there. Cars was the theme thanks to Maylee's cousins! It was a really fun party! Michaun made a yummy cake and the balloons were a hit! I didn't get that many pictures, but Michaun did so stay tuned to her blog!







Typical Briggy mooching off of poor Grandpa's icecream!:)

Movie night at the big horn sheep park

We like to go to the big horn sheep park on Friday nights and watch them while we eat McDonalds. This Friday not only did we get to see the big horn sheep, but we also got to watch Herbie the Love Bug with our ward at the goat park. It was a blast!!

Marshall decided he would be the licorice man and handed out licorice to every person who arrived. He said he didn't want the people to be starving. Such a funny guy! Marshall said his favorite part of the movie was when Herbie spit out "oatmeal, I mean oil at the naughty guys".

Briggy had fun dumping out and eating every one's popcorn. And ofcourse he found some balls to keep him entertained.

I don't have any pics. of Kason, but instead of watching the movie he was playing at the park in the dark and scraped up his knees and elbows pretty badly (probably because he couldn't see.) Poor little guy!

Those Moments

I am not a big fan of the "sooo cute" phrase which is used by many to describe their kids, but sometimes there just isn't any other phrase to describe those moments. Some moments which can't be photographed are when Kason says "I'm SO happy mommy" about everything which can only be said in the "soo cute" way that he says it. Also when Kason doesn't want to be called anything but his name and if you do (even if it is nice) he will say emphatically "No, I Kason!!" Or when Kason and Briggy do something wrong and they just smile their huge smiles which makes me forget about what they did wrong (smart little guys!)I also think of how Marshall prays that Laman and Lemuel will be nice-- soo cute - oops I did it again!:) How they change words around - they got a transformer thing from a b-day party and it is now the farmer bob thing (kinda sounds like transformer -ok, not so much!!:)





















These are Marshall and Kason's best buds Hunter and Max Christiansen (not always so easy to capture the moment!)

At night when TJ and I are in bed we talk about the funny things the kids did all day, and I am not sure we see what they did in the exact same way. But, one thing we agree on for sure is that they are sooo cute!!:)

I'M SO BIG!!

Marshall's most prized possession since he was a baby is his dee dee, a blanket which has been his comfort and best friend. Today the unthinkable happened. Out of the blue Marshall said "Mommy I am going to give my dee dee to Briggy because I'm so big now, I don't need my dee dee anymore!! ", and he handed it to him. I couldn't believe it! He put it in Briggy's crib and has not asked for it since. TJ and I are so proud of him. We truly did not think this day would EVER come!! This is kind of funny because I was racking my brain for a good way to faze out the dee dee. I still remember my tattered blankey which I had until I was 5 when it suddenly disappeared (I wonder where he gets it from). Anyways, the "I'm so big" attitude continued throughout the day. He said "I'm too big to sit at the little table, I want to sit at the big table with you mommy and daddy." He also spent any moment he was in front of a mirror and would stand on his tippy toes and say "I'm growing every day! Look how big I am! I am bigger than Kason and Briggy! Such a funny guy!
