LEGOLAND

Now some pics from our trip to Legoland and Disneyland!!!!

The first night there, we strolled through Downtown Disney and ate at the House of Blues!!!!

One stop before leaving Sacramento........

Before heading out of Sacramento, we had to make one more stop. Roger had heard that one of his teachers from elementary school, Mrs. Grabe was in her final year of principal at the same school. She had made such an impact on his life that he wanted to stop and see her one final time. She was an absolute treat to meet and she had even written a book in which she signed a copy for Roger!!!!

Big Trip in 2009

For Taylor's 11th birthday, we decided to surprise him with a Trip to Disneyland and Legoland. We had planned it from October the year before and were quite surprised we were able to keep quiet about it for that long. Taylor didn't even catch on completely until we were a few miles from our exit in Anaheim.

We totally surprised him when we picked him up from school. We made the trip down in 3 days making a few stops along the way to keep him in the dark. The first day we stayed with Jenn's Grandma in Grants Pass. The next night we stayed with Roger's friend Ken in Sacramento. For Taylor's birthday and to not give away that anything bigger was coming, Ken treated Taylor to some Indoor Go-Kart Racing which included a class and about 45 minutes on the track. Taylor had a ball and even Roger and Ken took a few turns on the track!!!!!

Here are a few pics from that night...........

Finally updating again.....

After a long hiatus.........hopefully we can begin to update our blog and more consistently again. Will begin some new posts in the next couple of days! Yay!!!!!

5th grade year....last play for Taylor at Corridor

Taylor's 5th grade year and his final play for school at the Hult Center! Taylor had a primary lead role and was quite excited. Here are a few shots of the marquis sign outside the Hult Center which scrolls the events for the week and they always put Corridor's play on there since they perform at the Hult Center! Also a few shots of getting his stage makeup applied and after the makeup is on......however it is minus his costume which was bright and colorful since he was playing a character named, Tom Macaw.......so he had to be colorful like a macaw bird. He wore red pants, yellow shirt, blue coat and a tie with a Macaw bird on it! He looked awesome!

Grandma's 80th Birthday!

Around Christmas time we headed up to my Aunt & Uncle's house in Portland to gather together to celebrate my Grandma Bonnie's 80th Birthday! It was fun to surprise her as we did 10 years ago for her 70th! It was tons of fun to see everyone for the day and get to just hang out!
