Sledding with Amy's family up in Winter Park, CO

About to go down the hill connected as a group

Cousin Jaxon and Austin

Going down the hill backwards...

Afterwards we got some pizza and the boys had straw wars

 

Austin is excited to be a Sunbeam at church!

I don't recall what was going on in this picture, but these two sure make cute firemen in their jammies!

Mega Update Time - End of 2012...

I'm officially one year behind on this blog!  Here goes the quick one-year catch up!

Bowling with friends:

Silly best friends

I have the cutest video of Austin getting a strike, but I can't get it to upload... :(

Christmas:

Austin turned the baby Jesus around and lined up all the other people in front to "protect" him.  :)

I stayed up late and made a huge bean bag chair to match Austin's room.  He still sits in it everyday... it's about due for a refill now.

Baby London - almost 2 months old here

Can't have Christmas with the family without some dancing with the Kinect!

Colorado Halloween

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating with our friends the Lindstroms

The fireman flexing his muscles and Buzz Lightyear with his sights on Star Command.

 

Cute little Ladybug, Lizzie.

 

California Trunk or Treat

Let's take a quick trip back to Halloween 2012... since 2013's is only 4 months away. :)

Jeff's parents' ward had their Trunk or Treat while we were there.  I didn't have a lot of time to put a costume together for him, so we bought a fireman's hat at the dollar store along with some yellow and silver duct tape and I quickly assembled a uniform for him using clothes we had on hand.  It turned out better than I'd expected and looked so cute on him.  And it only cost about $4...

(The little badge was Jeff's when he was a kid.  We found it in a box while we were there)

 

 

 

And what's a trip to CA without some In N Out?

We were in the midst of potty training during this trip and we told Austin that if he went potty at In N Out and wore the hat, everyone would know that he was a big boy and that he went potty.  He was very proud to wear the hat and as we left the restaurant he saw an employee in the parking lot wearing a hat as well.  He promptly shouted, "He went potty too!"

We're BACK! Legoland continued...

The past several months have been SO busy.  I can't believe it's already June.  I think I've figured out a way to continue posting pictures on this blog and I will attempt to catch up.  Life is not slowing down at the moment, but I'll try!

 

Austin, the cutest candy-cane-light-pole at Legoland...

We took TONS of pictures of the cityscapes and cool things built with Legos.  This gives you a good idea of how large and detailed these things were...

Las Vegas Strip

New Orleans

This was just ridiculous, but totally cool at the same time.  They were doing some Volvo promotion and built this life-size Volvo out of Legos and put it on real wheels.  Crazy!

Chewbacca and R2-D2

One of Austin's 2 favorite rides.  He rode in these little airplanes at least a dozen times!

 

We were all exhausted by the end of the day, but it was a wonderful place to spend Austin's 3rd Birthday as a family!
