Florida 2014: Lego Land!


On Sunday and Wednesday, we headed about an hour away to visit Lego Land.  It was a big hit with everyone!!

My sister made these adorable shirts.  She is the queen of iron-on tshirts.  I am just not creative like this.  It's hard to see in the picture, but their names are on the heads in the Lego font too.

This is the face of a super-excited boy before we go into Lego Land!!

At the entrance to the park.

They had a whole "Build and Test" lab where kids could build their own cars and race them.  All of the kids got really into it!



They also enjoyed driving and boating school.  The parents realized we have a LOT of work today before we let them out on the road by themselves!






The main characters from The Lego Movie came out for pictures while we were eating lunch, so the kids ran out to get their pictures taken before the line got too long.



One of the hardest rides was the Firetruck Relay!  You had to pump the truck to make it move down the track, and it was HARD!  I may have needed the help of both employees working there in order to get our truck to where it needed to be...



Caleb and Abby both loved these horses that rode around the track.  Caleb swore that he went faster when he clicked his heels and yelled, "Giddy up!"  :)




The parents got to enjoy some rides too!





I have lots more to share from Lego Land, so stay tuned!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
