Lego Fest 2015

The boys and I had the fun opportunity to go to Lego Fest this year! I don't know who was more amazed- but we all had a great time!!! The first thing we came across was the 'Lego Museum' section with huge lego figures (made out of so many tiny Legos!!!). They were seriously amazing!!! 

Lightning McQueen! 
Ironman!! 

A zebra... 
Buzz and Woody!! 



I attempted a side angle of the legos here... this one blew my mind! I have no idea how they did this! 
Jack Sparrow...


The Incredible Hulk (LJ's favorite!!)...
Team of Legofest workers came up and asked if the boys would be in their picture making a super hero pose. Evan took off; LJ got very into it!!! 
Spiderman.... 
A place where you can build your own car and then race it down a huge ramp! 
Ben practicing on the small ramp... my boys got bored here, and LJ begged to go look around more. 

A cool interactive touch screen and game... 
The Lego Friends section... we are not as familiar with these but super cute!

And the Bionicle legos... also new for me but cool! 

This was a huge map of the US where anyone could make something to be placed in it somewhere! It was really cool. Boys didn't want to make anything for it... but I couldn't believe how quickly it got filled up!!! 

This is the part that just amazed me... there were SO. MANY. LEGOS!!! A huge field of them, over a foot deep! So crazy!!! 
Happy LJ!!! 
Evan and I working on our tower!


Evan moved on to messing with my hair... 
I loved the concept of this picture... 
But as you can see from Evan's face, it wasn't actually very comfortable!!! Legos are not soft or relaxing, and it actually hurts to lay on them! Haha! 

So we tried again with him mostly on top of me!

The final treat... we got to go to the Lego store and pick out one thing each!! LJ found a pretty big  Ninja Turtle set (thankfully on sale!!), and Evan picked out a little keychain (although I don't think he realized that's what it was!).



Home and straight to work! 
LJ has said that his favorite part of Lego Fest was getting to sit at the table and do his new Legos with his dad!!! Well, if that doesn't melt a heart, I don't know what does!!! How cute are they!!


And I remembered my selfie stick!!! Yay!!! What a fun time!!!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
