Friday iPhone Dump #125

Last weekend, we headed to Trader's Village to ride some rides. Unfortunately, we got there at 4:45 and the rides were closing at 5. They each got to ride 2 rides so we bought a few toys on the way out and they were completely happy.


In her new dress, ready for church. She insisted we take pictures.


With her sweet Bubba.





I didn't get up in time to fix my hair and these are Randy's favorite times to try and take family pictures.


Hannah also got a new Gig 'Em dress.





Taking selfies with Daddy. I swear she looks 10 years old here.


At Meet the Teacher at Grace wearing her new pretty dress AGAIN.

Last weekend, the kids and I went to Jake's 4th birthday party. As you can see, Jacob had a blast. And as much as I thought Hannah would love doing this with all the boys, she wouldn't even try. I checked for fever when we got home but she didn't have any. I have no idea what her problem was!





With the birthday boy! Yes, he's 4 and smaller than Hannah.


Silly face time.


As you know, Monday was Jacob's first day of Kindergarten. It's been a rough week for me!!








In his classroom.


We had a hot hike inside so I was a sweaty mess.


While the 'big boys' were in school, we met Jill and Jake at Chuck E. Cheese. It wasn't crowded and was perfect to take our minds off missing the boys.








She loved the fake mouse but was scared of the real one that comes out every once in a while.





Dancing...sort of.





ALL of their tickets traded in for lollipops!

We decided to make a quick day trip to Kemah on Wednesday. It was a lot of fun but Jacob STILL can't pass for 48 inches tall. He's about 47 and wants on those bigger rides badly!!


He loved this one though. Randy, not so much.


Hannah on the second level of the double decker carousel.


Playing with some superhero friends.


Hannah put her bracelet around her ankle and said "Look, I'm Memaw!" (Memaw always wears an anklet)


Headed to Meet the Teacher!


Sitting in his spot.


He and his new teacher, Mrs. Grubert.

Bonus post: More Legoland

These are the pictures from Randy's phone.

Because everyone likes pictures taken of their backside...


Before her foot got stuck and I got sweaty.





Outside the hotel.


Jacob found more Lego Star Wars.


Here, he's pretending to be Kenny Baker, the guy who dresses up as R2D2 in the movie. Yes, my child knows all of their real names, too.


Another Lego figure so she wasn't scared!!


Hanging out in the top bunk.





Watching tv in the kids room.


Another hot day in the park.





This was when Hannah's face paint was half on, half off.


2 of the 3 nights we were there, they had S'mores!!

Jacob really needed a haircut before Legoland, and I finally decided it was time to trim Hannah's hair. She's never had even a trim and all of the swimming we have done this summer has really dried the ends out. She was a perfect angel and loved getting a haircut "like Bubba".


Friday night, I went to Pinot's Palette with some friends and Memaw took the kids to the mall. I'm pretty sure they missed me.


Here are our masterpieces. This one was tough due to all of the small details. I'm hoping you can't tell how bad mine is, but let's just say Memaw asked me why there were turtles in my fountain (they are birds). This piece of artwork is currently displayed in our attic.


On Sunday, we finally headed to Legoland. As usual, Randy found some fun things to do in the airport parking garage.


Waiting on our flight.


Hannah's first airplane ride. She did great...except for that 2 minute period of time (that felt like an hour) where she got her foot stuck between her seat and the wall. She was crying, I was sweating, and the sweet lady behind us helped us out. I don't think Randy and Jacob (sitting in front of us) had a clue.


The Legoland Hotel is pretty amazing. I'm pretty sure we've ruined our kids for all hotels in the future. This is a Lego waiter and the play castle is behind them.


Hannah sitting in the pool/fountain of Legos.


Posing in front of the Lego city.


Hannah slept in the bottom bunk like a big girl and Jacob slept on the top bunk thanks to a good side rail. I was afraid he was going to want to sleep up there and I'd be too scared.


Just outside of the elevators (which, by the way, have disco lights and disco music that plays every time the elevator is moving) is the Whoopee Cushion on the floor. Needless to say, they loved waiting for the elevators! It definitely makes some loud farting noises.


Jacob found Lego Darth Maul and posed like him.


And a Lego car.


Hannah did "Driving School" for 3-5 year olds and was terrible at it. This poor worker had to help her the whole time!


We were all HOT and tired.


Still going though.


Hannah driving us on the Duplo Tractor. Lucky for us, there was a track and no real driving involved. She just thought she was driving.


Riding the Duplo Train.


Not only does the hotel have figures made of Legos, they have a lot of character meet and greets. Hannah didn't like these guys AT ALL.


Jacob loved them and showed us his "hook".


The wall of minifigures.


Hannah did like meeting a real princess though!


These were Lego figures (in the park). That's why Hannah would stand by them.


More Lego figures.


Hannah being Batman.


These were people dressed up which is why Hannah is not in the picture!


Hannah jousting. I had to tell them she was 4 and they bought it.


Jacob was bored on this ride because he likes the bigger things!


They got their faces painted, of course.





This was another first for Hannah.


More Lego characters at the hotel.


Some of the Lego animals.


This was our last ride on the last day. :0(


This was Hannah's favorite Lego statue in the whole park. She laughed at him every time we passed him.


Randy has more pictures but I haven't gotten them off of his phone. So, there may be a special post...we'll see.
