Legoland

I don't know which one our family likes better, Legos or Star Wars, but when both of those are combined you can't go wrong!  It was Star Wars weekend at Legoland here in Chicago last weekend. Unfortunately, Scott had to work, but the rest of us had nothing planned so we drove over to play.

We had our picture taken with the infamous Darth Vader and some storm troopers,  Madelyn did not want to have anything to do with those guys.  She said that if Yoda were there she would have!  Excuse the geeky-ness coming out of me, I grew up on Star Wars and shared that with Rylan who now loves it.  In fact when Scott and I were dating and I heard that he had never scene it I told him that we couldn't date any longer unless he had seen all the movies and liked them. Don't worry he fell in love too!





They were displaying a brand new exhibit with scenes from Star Wars Episode 1:  The Phantom Menace, all made out of Legos!  It was AMAZING!

 It was a fun day!

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
