Legoland Galore!

It's been a while since our trip to San Diego, but I just love these Legoland pictures. In fact, I just love Legoland. It was such a fun day for the kids and we will definitely be going back to that park. GO LEGO!

This ride was right up Alex's alley



Jackson was way too cool for this ride.



Alex waited in line (she was the only one)
to meet the princess of Legoland....then she was scared of the princess
So I got my picture with her instead




My little explorer loved the Duplo house
where he had an endless supply of large Legos

I have always wanted to meet the real Bob




Poser!





These Lego statues were amazing!


May the force be with you!!

Time for a buzz...

Jackson and Devin always get their haircut together. It's a father/son bonding moment that Jackson thoroughly enjoys more than I realized....until....


So Devin had to get a haircut to look all spiffy for this work thing. He just ran and got a cut during the day. So he shows up at home later that night and Jackson says, " Dad, you got your haircut without me?" So sad, right. Well, the night progesses as usual. After baths Jackson and Dylan were fixing their hair funny and just playing. I called them all in for bedtime and Devin says,

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?" I screamed out loud when I saw it....all of Jackson's boy bangs gone! Jackson had a super sad face and said, "Now I look like you Dad." He is just so dang cute, I forget he is only seven. Anyways, he cut is so short I am surprised we didn't have to go in for stitches. As you can see we had to buzz his hair almost as short as the clippers would do it.


So there is a bit more to the story. Jackson was mortified by his new cut and was scared what people would think. The first day back to school he was called a few names, but handled it well. I am always to relieved to see kids bounce back from humiliation. It's comforting. On the second day of his new buzz he woke up and ran to the mirror. " Hey, I think it grew already!!" I agreed completely and told him how much I love the new due. Now let's just hope his sisters don't get any slick ideas.
Jackson was too mortified to have any "after" photos takes. Just watch out for the bald kid walking down the street. : )
