LEGO ENCOUNTER!

OK....so I have entirely too much time on my hands! Max's Lego "me" inspired me to create a "Lego Encounter!" Encounter is a three day worship event that we put on at our church. Right now, we are planning the next one so I have Encounter on the brain. I decided to see if I could make Lego "me's" out of all the people involved....though I couldn't make everyone, here's a couple. You really don't want to know how many hours it took me to build this....it's obscene actually. From left to right there's Andrew, Tyler, Chrysti, Zach, Karrie, Brannon, Carl and David. I'm pretty proud of it....if I do say so myself! : )

Vow Renewal

For my parent's 25th wedding anniversary they decided to renew their vows. So this past weekend we headed up to Steamboat Springs to celebrate. I wasn't their "official" photographer, but I did take a lot of candid pics! (OK...So I always take a lot of pics!) It was a beautiful ceremony held at the Steamboat Grand Hotel. Their vows were so heartfelt that I think everyone cried at some point. Their marriage is a true inspiration to us all. I thank the Lord that they found each other and I pray they have many more years to enjoy life together! I have a TON of pics from that day but here's few of my favorites...

Saying their vows

Love was in the air!

I love you both so much. You mean the world to me and I am honored to be your daughter, to know you both and to have the chance to share my life with you. Words cannot express my "Thanks" to you for all that you do for our family. I pray you love each other more and more each day!

Universal Studios

Last but not least, we went to Universal Studio's...

We had spent most of the day at IOA but the kids REALLY wanted to ride JAWS. As we were waiting in line, a storm started to come in and they warned us that the ride might close down due to incoming inclement weather. Of course Max started to wig out a little...I don't blame him based on our previous experience at the the Magic Kingdom! (for more on that read my previous post called "The Magic Kingdom") but we assured him that everything would be OK.

Here the boys are on JAWS

Ron and Jace

Jaws coming at us

Jaws burnt to a crisp! The boys especially like the part where he dies!

All-in-all it was a great day. We ended up leaving right after JAWS because we didn't want to get stuck in another storm.

On the way out we got the boys some hats they had seen on the way in and REALLY wanted. Max got a shark hat...

And don't you just love Titus' Cat in The Hat, Hat?

Florida: We came, we saw, we conquered you! Until next time....

Islands of Adventure

On the last day of our trip we went to Universal with our good friends Ron and Lora. They were able to get two of us in for free so a BIG "Thank You" goes out to them! They have two boys, Drew and Jace, and our boys LOVE them to pieces. They were so excited to see each other again! Universal has two theme pars right next to each other. Islands of Adventure and the Studios. It's where I used to work so it brought back a lot of good memories for me...I just love IOA! It's my favorite theme park!

We started the day at IOA. We ran straight for Seuss Landing and did the Cat In The Hat ride amongst many others and then we headed over to Jurassic Park. One of the best areas in the park is Camp Jurassic where they have all these caves and rope obstacle courses suspended up in the air that run into tree houses. There's also water pop-up areas and water guns where you can fire at random tourists...it's fantastic! The kids had never been before and they had a BLAST! they could have spent all day in that one area!

We had a lot of fun at IOA in all the different lands , and tons of pictures...too many to post...but the boys were all chomping at the bit to get over to the Studios to ride JAWS so we headed there next....

Adam & Becky's Wedding

OK...so I don't actually have any pics of the wedding because I was IN the wedding. You know how that goes....when you're IN the wedding you can't take pictures! Bummer for me. I do have some funny one's from the rehearsal dinner and a couple from before the wedding started. Kinda lame I know, especially for me, but what can I say.

The happy couple!

Ashley and Ian

Ian is in a band called Blessed By A Broken Heart. Titus was totally enamored with him. He kept calling him "Rock Star Ian." Titus was also fascinated with the holes in Ian's ears. Here he is sticking his finger in the holes...

Ian and I

Ian, Jordan and I messin' around...

...and...here's a couple pre-wedding fuzzy iPhone pics...

We're so happy for Adam and Becky! They are a great couple and I know they'll have a long blessed marriage together. It was an honor to be in their wedding and for Adam to ask Scott to be his best man. We love you both so much!

Titus is 6!

OK.....so I am REALLY behind on blogging! We've done two trips back-to-back so I have a lot to update you on! .....More posts to follow!

For starters, my little dude turned 6! I can't believe that Titus is really 6 years old.....where does the time go? His Birthday was back on June 15th (did I mention I was behind a little? ) He wanted a "Rock Star" birthday so everyone dressed up and partied down!

Here he is playin' all tough with his daddy
