Legoland!

We just got back from a fun Spring Break visiting family and Legoland!

Playing at the Carlsbad beach a few blocks from our hotel. It was a little chilly, but still a huge improvment from the snow we had in Reno.





Lego creations, rides, lego building, playgrounds, star wars, aquarium...yup, Legoland is little boy heaven! I kept my expectations low for how long our day would last, but both boys did fantastic and we were there from 9:30am to 4:30pm! Mommy and Daddy were ready for happy hour and the pool when the day was done :) We spent a couple more nights at the hotel just swimming and playing. I must have been all pictured out after legoland, because I failed to take pics of much else the rest of the trip.





Digging for fossils.

Duplo Land

Brock got his driver's license!
Star Wars!






We were really suprised at how adventurous Brock was with the rides. I was stressed when he was in line for this one until I realized they had a slower setting for little guys. He was disappointed 'Mom, I didn't even go upside down' :) Then the roller coaster thrilled him. He only wanted to go once, but at the end of the day he said it was his favorite. On the ride home he was talking about it, 'My whole body was just shivering'





Theo found 'his friends'.

Brock could have spent all day in this room. They could build and race cars. The track timed the cars...pretty fun. Wouldn't it be nice to live in Theo's world - after every race he would raise his hands in victory and shout, 'I winned!'.


Next stop...the legoland sea life aquarium...are you tired yet? We were!





Showing off the lego set he picked! Goodbye Legoland!

Next stop, Grandma Daphne's where we spent hours lounging by the pool and chatting :)





Finally, we spent our last night at Aunt Cathy and Jim's house. Cathy took us to a super fun park, unlike any park you will ever find in Reno! We had so much fun visiting everyone - thank you!

House Fun

You probably don't believe it, but we do hang out at our house too.
Brock and Mama made this very detailed bird house/feeder out of wood, glue, and nails. Then Mama got some birdseed and the birds have been enjoying their creation. So fun!

Peek!
Brock has started to love board games - his favorites are junior monopoly and scrabble! It is super fun to play with him.

I decided to paint our dining room and had lots of help!

'Mom, I'm getting some sun on my belly' 60 degrees and off come the shirts!

Building airplanes with control panels, wings, and what not. Lots of tape involved!

Winter Camping

We have had a busy few weeks! Cory has been out of town for work a lot, the boys and I had a terrible tummy virus which wiped out a whole week - add that to the rest of life and you have total madness. But we have had fun too, of course.

Camping in the desert for Cory's first race of the season. My two boys could NOT be more different. Brock is an outdoors man - never gets cold - tough! Theo on the other hand, refused to leave the camper for fear of getting a slight chill.
Brock is amazing on his dirt bike now - I will post some video soon.
Even with the face mask - still not going out there mom!
Race start.
Goofing around in the camper. Funny faces and mom shaking her booty which I do fequently around here, but not sure that I needed a photo of it - thanks Brock. When the music comes on the booties start shaking in the Jennings house - it's just how we roll! I'll spare you the close ups he took :)
Brock is quite the climber.
