Brady's Soccer Game

We went to Brady's first soccer game tonight. Other than it being really cold it was a lot of fun. At first Brady acted like he didn't really want to run for the ball. So Brian told him he would give him a dollar for every time he kicked the ball. He came home with 4 dollars. GO BRADY!
All the boys doing push ups before the big game. It was hilarious!

Seaworld, The Beach, Legoland, and Lots and lots of pictures!

We went to Sea world, Lego land and the Beach last week. We had a blast. The kids were great (well I should say Krissa and Brady were great, Paislee was a typical almost 2 year old). Krissa kept asking when we were going to get there and I kept replying "apparently you think I've been to California before." When we got out in Vegas Krissa said "its so hot, why would anyone want to live here." haha. All in all we had a great time and we are glad to be home, I wonder how long it will take to get back on schedule.
WARNING:EXTREME PICTURE OVERLOAD
This picture was taken about 20 minutes into the trip.

Paislee thought it was so cool to have her own little DVD player

Believe it or not Paislee only slept maybe a total of 2 hrs the whole time and krissa and brady only slept maybe an hour! We got to stop and see our friends the Rideouts before we headed to tiffs house to stay the night. The kids had a ball at tiffs just running through sprinklers! Thanks for letting us crash with you tiff!
Of course Brian wanted to get out and stretch his legs at the bass pro shop in Vegas!
The kids all picked out a giant fish or crocodile pillow. Paislee wouldn't put hers down. When we first pulled up to our condo I noticed this sign=)

Our condo was really nice. It had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen, living room , and a deck with a barbecue. We saved a lot of money on meals just grocery shopping and eating at our condo. It had a outdoor pool and krissa kept saying "that is so weird that the pool is outside."
Brian and our luggage=) SEA WORLD
Of course we were early to sea world so I got the kids out and took some pictures in the pretty trees and flowers.

The kids loved the rides at sea world. Next we are going to Lagoon with mouse ears and telling them it is Disneyland=)
Paislee loved getting out of the stroller for the sesame street play land.

I thought we had missed a picture with Elmo (so I took a picture of paislee with this Elmo) but then i realized my watch was a hour ahead of California time.
When we were in line to see Zoe and Elmo Paislee was waving and saying "Hi Zoe, Hi Ehmo". But the minute we stood her by them she cried. As soon as we were walking away I saw here wave again and say "Hi Zoe, Hi Ehmo". Apparently they were just in her personal space=)
I took Brady on the Atlantis ride. I was pretty scared and so was he. At end I told him not to tell Krissa how scared he was so she would go. As soon as he saw Brian and Krissa on the coaster he yelled "it really is scary" What a little turkey. We went on the sky ride and the whole time I was wishing that I had sent Paislee with Brian. Every time she moved I was sure I was going to fall to my death=)
The shows were amazing. In the picture below they were doing dancing with the stars. Sea lion edition. Poor Paislee was exhausted but it sure made the Shamu show at the end of the day more relaxing for Brian and I. THE BEACH
There was a joes crab shack restaurant right above these boats and as we ate we could see a sea lion swimming around. The kids thought it was great=)
Paislee was not impressed with the Beach. For the first 30 minutes she just sat there and cried. She finally took a nap on Brian and was a little better. But we never did get her off the towel. Krissa and Brady loved the beach. I have to admit I did too.I finally got Paislee to dig a little in sand at the end. But she still never left the towel.
FIELD OF FLOWERS
We were driving to Lego land and we early again as usual (but hey the kids were waking up at 6 california time 7 our time and nothing opens until 10 so cut us a little slack) Anyway we noticed this sign for field of flowers and it turned out so pretty.
For some reason if no one is in the picture but Paislee she will cry and say "don't want it , dont wike it" Maybe I have taken one to many pictures of her in her life=)
LEGOLAND
Note to self: Make sure to check the price of face painting before saying "hey kids want to get your face painted" This little job on brady's face cost $17. Its cute but not that cute=)
Paislee and Dumbass=) I guess its a good thing I listened to Brian when I wanted to name Brady Thomas. He told me kids would call him Dumb ass. Apparently his sister would have been one of them. haha
This train was probably the highlight of Paislee's vacation. She just kept smiling and saying "Wooo-hooo".
They had a mini land in t the he middle of lego land. Where all the building are a minature of the vegas strip, nascar, the golden gate bridge and a tone more. It was really neat to see.
Thats me and Brady on this ride. Brian and Krissa stood in line for 30 minutes to go on it but when they got to the front and they told krissa she would have to remove her earrings it was a no go. Since she got them pierced in Jan she is very protective and very scared that they will hurt to take them out. Brian was a little unsympathetic. Who can blame him when you sit in a line for 30 minutes=)

After the Atlantis roller coaster at Sea world Brady was not wanting to go on anymore roller coasters. Surprisingly enough Krissa was loving them so Brian and I took turns going with her=)
All and all it was a great vacation. And I can add one more state to the previous 4 I have visited. Now I just need to get on an airplane... Maybe next year.
