Lego Land

We had a good time in Lego Land!  Garrett loved it, he was in heaven!  It amazes me how much stuff they have built out of Lego's. 

 This Giraffe was huge!  It was probably my favorite thing in the park. 

Sea World

In Sea World first thing we went and rode the Journey to Atlantis ride.  Mike got soaked!  The kids loved it!  We seen the dolphin show, the otter and sea lion show and the Shamu show that kids loved them all! 

 The kids thought this otter was pretty cute!

 Garrett thought that the star fish were pretty cool to touch and there was no way Justin was going to touch them until he seen that Garrett was doing it and then I guess he thought it would be ok if he did it to!

 This ride is just like the tea cups in Disneyland except Mike got it spinning so fast the boys could not keep there heads upright and it made Grandma more that a little sick!  She was pretty green when we got off but the boys loved it and wanted to go again! 

California here we come!

The kids were so excited for our trip to California especially Justin!  I don't think Garrett really remembered much about our last trip, he just new that Justin was super excited so he may as well be excited as well!  The both we so excited to fly!

When we got to California we drove straight to San Diego, checked into our hotel and went to check out the beach!  All we found were huge cliffs and the ocean!  Amazing views but not very easy for the kids to play in the ocean. 

After leaving the ocean we left the kids with my dad swimming and Mike, my mom, and I headed to the San Diego Temple!  Amazing!  I love how each temple is so unique.  One of the temple workers found out we were from Utah and he was happy to give us a little tour of the temple. 

Beautiful!

Halloweens Happenings

 Justin loves to carve pumpkins, at least the carving part!  He hates to touch the "guts" inside he has never liked to get his hands dirty so for him to reach into the pumpkin and get the guts out is out of the question. 

Garrett didn't really care if his pumpkin got carved or not he helped Mike for a minute then he was done.  He would much rather play with his toys than carve a pumpkin!

I didn't even get a picture of the finished product!

We had the ward trunk or treat on the 30th and then on the 31st we went trick or treating at both of our families houses!  The kids had a blast!

Justin was the Transformer Bumble Bee and Garrett was Spider Man!  They both got a ton of candy and had a great time doing it!

Preschool Happenings

 Garrett's cute preschool teacher told the kids the story of the little red hen then, they baked their own little loaves of bread.  Garrett was so excited to come home and show Mike and I his very own bread.  He was not about to share either!

Garrett's preschool class went on a little trip to the fire station!  Garrett loved it!  He learned what he needs to do in case of a fire and he got to even spray the fire hose!

They had a cute little Halloween program.  They sang and had a little parade!  All of the kids looked so cute!

Garrett loves preschool!  He loves his teacher and he loves seeing all of his friends!

Preschool

Garrett started Preschool today!  It is had to believe my baby is in Preschool but, he is and he was so excited to go.  It starts at 10 and at 9 he was dressed with his shoes and his backpack on and he was sitting on the couch asking me if it was time to go.  He could hardly wait! 

COP CARS

What little boy is not curious about a cop car?  Today Garrett was at the shop hanging out with Mike while I was doing a few things.  They are currently fixing a Highway Patrol Car.  Garrett asked Mike if he could look inside, so Mike opened the door so that Garrett could check out all of the cool buttons and gadgets inside.  Then he wanted to know why the backseat was caged in.  Mike explained to him why and asked him if he wanted to see inside it.  Garrett's answer was no!  Garrett went off to play and Mike went back to work.  A short time later Scott the guy Mike works with asked Mike where Garrett was as they proceeded to look for him Scott was walking past the cop car and he heard a knock coming from the window.  Garrett was obviously still curious and had opened the door and shut it and was locked inside "the cage".  He was pretty disturbed.  When he got home and was telling me his only comment was "I do not want to ever go in a cop car again."  The next day when we were riding our bikes to the school there was a cop car watching for speeders in the school zone he went on and on about how he did not ever want to go in a cop car again.  (side note the cop car was in the shop not out in the summer heat)

**listening to Garrett talk about the cop car is so funny I had to blog about this so that we can remember**
