Legoland, Florida

We gave the kids their choice of either Disney World or Legoland and to our surprise they chose Legoland, which FAR exceeded our expectations.  It was a beautiful day with perfect weather, light crowds and amazing lego creations everywhere you turned.  I seriously can't say enough good things about our day here. The whole park is tailored to the 12 and under crowd and they were the perfect ages.  
Seriously there were soooooo many cool things made out of legos.  
A full size car made out of legos.  Crazy.
Brian and his dad.
We talked Jenny and Mimi into a few roller coasters.  Here is one of my bootleg pictures of our picture.
Jenny with the stars of the lego movie (which we loved, by the way.)
I love this picture of Jenny and me.  
The Legoland employees had very unique name tags - but this guy's was the best!
We spent a good long while in here building lego cars and racing them.  Imagine pinewood derby times 10.  Grant could have stayed here all day.  
At the end of the day there were zero lines on this big wooden roller coaster so the kids kept going over and over.  Each time they would take crazy faces for the camera to see whose was the funniest.  Brian and I did too.  One time we all happened to sit right by each other and without any planning we each made our crazy faces and we created this gem.  We all laughed so hard we actually ended up buying this one to keep.  I love it!!
There was the coolest tree in the Cypress Gardens inside Legoland.  They grow roots down into the ground from the branches to help support itself.  So beautiful!

Wow, I LOVE the shot of the tree at the end!! Banyan?? Awesome. Okay, so I am a tad bit in love with Legoland. We did the one in CA, which I'm sure is similar. I just LOVE all the amazing things they can do with Legos, and I really thought it was a SUPER fun park!

Dr. Noehren is Now FUNDED....a Little!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I seem to blog a lot about Brian's work stuff - but I just get so excited and want to share.  Plus, I figure it is our family blog, and Brian's not one to mention this stuff on his own so here goes another post that you can skip if you could care less! At any rate - today Brian got his first grant!!!  Oh happy day.  He has been included on other people's grants and gotten some as a grad student - but this is his first official grant that he is the primary investigator on.  The glorious sponsor's of the grant are his professional foundation - the American Physical Therapy Association.  I love them.   I really do.  They gave us 3 grants during grad school that saved us $30K in student loans.  They are one of the few organizations that when in a position to do so, I will donate lots of money to.  And now this.  Man, they are cool. So, as a rookie researcher they typically give you 2 years to set up your lab and ge...

Science Center & Niagara Falls

Brian took this picture of a bridge competition that was going on at the conference center.  That is a lot of bridge players! While Brian was conferencing, we ventured out in our car to the Science Center across town.  It was awesome!  We loved the interactive displays and things to do.  It was way, way fun. This frog is the cutest, saddest, frog I've ever seen.  He was so adorable. Haley loves turtles! We tried some Pizza Pizza for lunch in the cafeteria.  Not bad! This wooden slide was awesome in their little forest.  Grant went flying down it like a rocket.  Once he didn't get his footing right to stop and he kept on flying.  It was sooo funny.  He had a little bum rash from the slide, but was okay. What a good sister...picking out the mulch from Grant's shorts after he went flying off the slide.  hahaha. After finding so many good deals at the outdoorsy place the night before, I decided we ne...

Life is Expensive

This black friday I had my hopes set on this: But what I got instead was this: Cool, right?  Well - yes, and no.  I do really, really love our new Toyota Rav4, but was geared up to spend around $800 this week, not so much the more than $800 a new car costs.  I should also mention that I have been saving for the past 3 months for my big tv purchase and had finally saved $750 this week when our money pit Buick Rendezvous finally decided enough was enough and decided it only wanted to drive to Clarksburg West Virginia, not Morgantown...another hour down the road.  So needless to say there will be no big fancy tv in my house this Christmas season, (boo hoo hoo) but hey - I can live without a tv, but I can't live without a car. As sad as I am at the loss of my near tv purchase (and all of my financial savings!) I am grateful this Thanksgiving week for many things.  Here are just a few things I've learned this week: 1.  Never buy a Buick....NEVER!...
