Birthday Set

This is the set I got for my birthday.

Last weekend my brother and his family spent the night with us- most of the time was spent away from home but Paul (silas' cousin) managed to build a cool plane while he was here. We love our cousins-

Paul has a blog as well on airplanes of course- I hope he'll continue to write about  planes, the kid knows more than most adults about them paulrobbinsair.blogspot.com

Family Pictures

We took some family pictures- we "thought" this would be easier than the real deal...





my action shot- sporting my tote bag and guitar, on my beloved laptop





Cody's theme shot...he's been cutting down a bunch of trees lately, I tried to get him to wear something else but.....



I love you hon....




my cute big kids



argh! charis get out of the way



Our middle child- CAdy



Charis' single shot





Charis please look over here



big kids again...



Charis? what are you doing? can you please move?



Cody can you get her ?



Pictures with 2 year olds are so difficult




here we all are, finally, everyone please smile,



Thank you God for our family, what a blessing family is, good idea!!


CAdy what's the matter?




"Silas!!!!!"


I just took the pictures, Silas made them

The search piles

I was gonna go in and share a picture with you of the "piles" from which we search to find pieces of torn down sets- Silas isn't that big on organization, no matter how we preach about it or how many hours we've spent separating out the parts...they always end up in a big pile. Anyway this is what I found- he'd spelled out lego in the piles- he is so his father's son (once Cody spelled out his name in the lawn while mowing- Roger wasn't too excited)





Some girly sets Cady got this year for Christmas....



Frosty, I guess this has been inspired by the crazy winter we've had...



the cars....comments please....



I want you to check out all the cups- we are in no shortage of legomen cups- and that man sporting the tank top in the back- Lord help us....it's winter dude, get dressed~!

Scorponox has had a metamorphasis....

This little guy is in trouble...



and here's why...scorponox has morfed and become quite a threat



these are his teeth and check out those red tounge things on the sides

Scorponox has landed be afraid...be very afraid!

This is Scorponox, I created him today for a battle weapon that is used for galaxy warriors that help defend the planets (Tattouine for example) He is controlled by a robot professor. But he is only used in battle times when they are threatened to be taken over.



Silas says- this is a probe droid only used for spying on secret senators. At the top little droids come out when the probe droid dies.

Mom says- this is quite a clever piece- using some unique pieces from the collection, have we shown you the collection? the search pile? we haven't? oh we will soon....

New Lego Projects for around the house

a picture of our name in legos attached to a magnetic back on our fridge, thought it was cool



saw this idea online but it didn't have instructions, had to figure it out on my own



my favorite, from FAmily Fun magazine, they have 2 ideas a month listed to do build. Since Cady got a box of mixed color/size bricks for Christmas we are able to make most of the things...I love this!

and talk about fun gifts for the kids to make and give...
