Arizona Trip

 Our first stop in California was to the Jelly Belly Factory!! It was loads of fun smelling the sugar (not tasting it of course). The factory was closed down for maintenance but they still let us tour the factory. We went with the Mashler family on our adventure down to Arizona.

 Tyty and I in front of the Jelly Belly car! Our trip was not complete without buying Belly Flops.... YUMMY!

 Next stop was Legoland Tyty had a BLAST!!! He got to ride on all the BIG kid rides for the first time and he had so much fun.

 This car is sponsored by Volvo and besides the wheels it is completely made out of Legos!!!

 Tyty with his cousin Brady....Those two were so cute together....

 Lily Binks where is your drivers license?

 In Arizona they have outdoor malls with waterparks in the middle of the shopping areas. We took advantage of our favorite one.

  This is my brothers kids...... They are amazing.. I miss them so much. I am so glad that I got to go down there and see them. We had so much fun. The only thing I wish I did different was I had to fly home and I wish I was able to drive because the drive home is also really cool with everything you get to see.

Summer!

  Leave it to my son to be goofy and wear the best dress up clothes he can find at school. This is in his classrooms dramatic play area, the theme was water and everything about water. His teacher lives on a boat and so she brought in her gear and he LOVED it! I am so glad that I get to go to work with my son every day and that I get to see stuff like this on a regular basis :)

May... the most expensive month in our family....

May in our family consists of almost everyones birthday except a select few...... Tyty thankfully was born in October and I was born in the summer so that helps things but we have May 1,2,4,5,7,12,24,25 and the 31 already taken.... Sadly this year Karl celebrated his birthday without us. He went to a Sounders game with Daryl and Rachel.
We went to my grandfathers surprise 80th birthday party which went VERY well and he had NO clue!!! My Aunt Sandy did a great job :).

 My Grandfather was convinced he was going garage saling.
