lego creation of the moment

it's a horseshoe game. and, there is a dinosaur head on the top and if you hit the dinosaur head with the horseshoe and it bounces back to you, you advance to level two and get to throw your horseshoe again. (ian's description when I asked him what he built...have i mentioned how much i love this kid?!)

Six Years Old

For his 6th birthday this year, Ian wanted a Lego party. No big surprise there, as he has been very into Legos for the past year, building new creations every day.



Well, not only did he get that Lego party, filled with all things Lego for he and his friends...

(yup--that's the cake! one of the most fun I've made so far!)

...but he also got the ultimate Lego-lover's dream trip...




LegoLand, CA!!! (with the added bonus of it being a 'guy trip' with just daddy)


another bonus! getting to see CA cousins, AJ and Julianna!

I love you, Ian! it is a joy and privilege to be your mom :)
