Universal Studios

On Saturday July 18th we went to Universal Studios. My kids loved the shows and the rides. The animal show was their favorite. You get to see the animals that star in movies and commercials. In fact we we went to that show 2 times. It was a fun day.

Kage and Kenlee with Dora and Diego. Ken was so excited t see Dora.

Here we are with Shrek and Fiona. I was surprised Ken liked Shrek.

It was funny Kage and Ken was afraid to get by Jaws so grandma went with them!!

They loved Sponge bob. Look at Ken she is about to pull off his arm!!!!

Shrek was just coming out and the kids stopped him for a quick picture.

Ken and Kage with the Lion.

This penguin was so cute with them. He was getting them with his arms or flippers or whatever they are called!! Ken was laughing her butt off!! By the time they were done her bow was out and her hair looked like she just got up for the day!

Sooooo tired this was a nice part of the day just got to people watch while she sleep!

On the back lot tour. Kage loves this to see behind the scenes. This is from the Grinch movie.

This was a flood coming toward us Ken was not to sure!

Kage and Ken with Mrs. Simpson. (I cant remember her name)

Kage and Ken with Bart Simpson

This was one of the dogs in the animal show. He was in the movie Hotels for Dogs.

This is Gabriella's house on Desperate housewives. I am love Desperate Housewives so it was fun to see Westeria Lane.

Kage made me go on the Jurassic Park ride. I wore a poncho and look how wet my pant are were the poncho stopped. Kager got soaked!!

Legoland

We went to Legoland on Wednesday July 15th. Last year we went but we got there really late and they close early so we were only there a few hours. My kids wanted to go back so we can see it all. Kage loves Lego's. He loves to look at all the thing made from Lego's. It is fun but the lines to the rides are sooo long. The have an aquarium next to it and we had tickets to go to it so we went to it also. The kids like that. The worse part was when we can out we had a flat tire!!! Seriously I wanted t cry. We found a towing company hat would come and fix it for $50. That was a great deal we told them to come and do it. We wait for about 45 minutes for them to get there and when he got there he asked me for my tools. I said what tools he said there is special tools I need to get the spare down. Well we looked everywhere I called Troy he did not know what he was talking about. He said he could try to pump up the tire and hopefully it would get us somewhere but it was still $50. I wanted to cry. I called Troy and he said he would make some calls and get back to me. Well in the meantime I asked it I could get the tools from an other suburban would that work he said probably. Well by this time the park was way past closed and only a few cars in the parking lot 2 of the cars were suburbans. As he started to put air in i seen the people getting into their suburban way across the parking lot. I ran as fast as I could over to them. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I could not even talk by the time I got to them. But they were so nice and they found the tools I needed and they worked. By this time it was over 2 hours since we been at our car. But we were just grateful it worked out. The next day Troy called and said I found your tools you needed in my Truck. That is a great spot for them!!!! So the next day we spend the morning at Big O Tire getting the tire fixed.

It is so amazing they have the Las Vegas Strip in Lego's.

Ken loved the rides.

Kager liked to go by himself.

Aunt Amanda loves Merilyn Monroe so Kage had to get a picture to show her.

Ken had to have one with Elvis.

Kage loved these cars they got to drive them around on little roads. They had stop lights and stop sings. Some kids would drive on the wrong side of the road it was scary.

They had a little track for Ken. She was a scary driver. It was funny to watch her.

Kage wanted to go this ride so bad but you got wet and no one wanted to go with him so he want by himself. It looked fun but I did not want to get wet.

Ken wanted him to go on this ride so bad with her so he was a good sport and went.

This was at the aquarium. They thought it was cool you could poke your head up in the middle of the tank.

Here is the flat tire!!!

Hanging out at Big O Tires waiting to get it fixed!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!!

I grew up in a small town. They have a celebration ever year on the 4th of July. They have a breakfast, a little parade, game and crafts for the kids. Kage rode his 4 wheeler and Ken rode her car in the parade they both threw candy and they thought that was great. After the parade Kage and Kenlee played games and made some crafts . Then everyone played baseball. After all that fun we had a barbecue at my moms. Then Kage and I went to the Stadium of Fire to see the Jones Brothers. It was fun to get to go and spend time with Kager. I have pictures of the Stadium of Fire but who knows where If i find them I will have to put them up but for now there are the pictures of the rest of the day.

Not just one but TWO!!!! What was I thinking????

Our friends the Lybberts cat had a litter of kittens. Of coarse as soon as they were born we had to go see them and my kids feel in love with them. Any one who knows me knows that's I am NOT an animal lover what so ever. I don't want to touch them look at them or especially own one. But since I am such a great mother (ha ha ha) my kids talked me into getting one. Well this is how it happened. Kage asked Margo how much they were and Margo said they are FREE!!!! Kage could not believe it. I went over to their house to pick him up from playing one day and he came running up to me saying Margo said the kittens are free can we get one. Well I thought Margo liked me or more than that but I guess not!!!!!! I told him I had to have a talk with Margo then we would see. Well of coarse after they were FREE I gave in and said yes he could have one and he choose Snickers right away. After they were about 8 weeks old and ready to come home we went and bought them bed ,food and toys. The night before we went over to pick Snickers up Kage was over there playing and I get a phone call. It is Kage he wanted to know if tomorrow when we pick up Snickers if we an have Doddle's too!! Because Margo said Doddle's was FREE also!! Are you kidding me!!!!! Well being the sucker I am we now are the proud owners of Snickers and Doodle!!!!After about a month Snickers ran away and was gone for 2 days. It was the longest 2 days of Kages life. We hung up sign everywhere. But thanks to Lindsay he was found!! They are doing good still trying to get used to being a pet owner. But the kids love them soooo much!! Thanks to the Lybberts for kittens!!! Just remember pay backs are not fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doddle and Snickers!!

Kam loves the kittens!

They cant get enough of them.

Ken feel asleep and Doddle snuggled up to her leg. It was so cute!!

Kager is on cloud 9!!

Ken is still learning how to hold them! Poor little kitten!!


This was after Snickers was found so excited to have him back!

Kager can finally sleep tonight Snickers is home!!! He was so worried about him! I have to say I was worried about him to. I also felt so bad for Kage I finally give in to a pet and we lose it! I have grown a little attached to them but I can still say I am not an animal lover yet!!!

It is so funny to watch the Kittens play with Kam!!
