Having Fun with Lego Creationary

Munchkin and D are huge Lego fans. We have bins of Legos and Lego trains for Christmas. When we heard that Lego had come out with Lego games, well, there was much excitement in the house to say the least. A game that you could build out of Legos? They felt this was very cool. Players even build their own die. Munchkin and D looked at several of the games, but couldn’t decide which one they would like to try out. Shortly after looking at the Lego games at a local store, I was contacted by Timberdoodle to see if…

It’s finally getting cooler outside, and that means that everyone here in the desert will be spending more time outdoors.

Fun before the Goodbye

Posted in Family

Today, we had to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa. D decided to take Grandpa for a spin in the side-by-side before they left. Then, Grandpa took Grandma for a spin. Of course, we couldn’t let the opportunity to snap a few pictures pass by, so we took a few pictures in the RZR. It was a tearful goodbye, but we all are very grateful for the time that we were able to spend together. The house seems much quieter now that our special guests are gone.
