Day Out With Thomas

A few weeks ago we took the kids, but especially Carson to A Day Out With Thomas! Carson is so into trains and he loves anything Thomas the Train! His last birthday party was dedicated to Thomas! We had been talking about taking him for a few weeks, but we decided the day before to go for sure. (We were in the middle of my mom's kitchen remodel) I told Carson about it the night before and he was so excited! He got all giggly and giddy. The next morning he could not wait! He was super excited. On the drive there because it was in Grapevine, every 5 minutes he'd ask if we were there yet. When we finally got close to it and he could see all the signs he said the absolute cutest thing ever! He said, "Mommy I can hear Thomas he's talking to me, and he's saying Choo, choo...chug a chug a..." It was so darn cute!

The kids had a blast. It was pretty pricey but I think it was worth it. They had a little train they could ride, pictures with Sir Topham Hat, a bouncy house Thomas the Train, a huge tent filled with model trains, and a lego room with trains to play with and lego sets. They even had pony rides. I actually couldn't believe that Carson and Lilli dared to ride the ponies! I was pleasantly surprised. Landon had fun eating anything he could get his hands on. And then finally at the end of the day we all got to ride on Thomas the Train himself! Carson was SO excited that Thomas the Train took him for a ride!

It was a really fun day for us and the kids and my parents who came along as well! and the best part was that they were so exhausted that they slept all the way home!

Ammon is obsessed with Thomas too! It is fun to see them get so excited about these things. The Day out with Thomas here was a little different, but still pricey. Why do they have to charge so much?

Super Funny Kids Quotes!

New Quotes.:

I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."

Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"

I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)

On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"

We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)

We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."

When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)

We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
