Go Celtic Storm!!

The crazy season of soccer is over for a few months.  We had a mid season party for Mikaela.  Her division takes this very serious! :)  It was also her b-day, and two other team mates.  Lets just say we have had way too much chocolate cake this week!!

Mikaela with a BYU Soccer player.

With Arielle and Jessa - The b-day girls.

With Megan and Jessa.  Mikaela and Jessa play center back together.  They do amazing!!

All Grown up - Happy Birthday Mikaela!!

First set of parties.  Mikaela and her cousin Luke have B-day's one day apart.

Breakfast in bed.  French toast with Grandma's white bread.  Can't have it any other way!!

Getting the new Super Mario Bros.  I am glad she still acted surprised even though Kai already told her. :)

Her best surprise - a new cruiser bike!!

At dinner with little red.

With Grandpa Smith at the Cheesecake factory.

Kobes and little red.

This is what Kai does all the time - that is why he is none of the other pictures.  I guess I shouldn't complain because he is so good.

Mikaela gets nervous when they sing to her at a restaurant but didn't mind the cheesecake they gave her!

Can't believe she is twelve!

Happy Birthday to our wonderful daughter Mikaela.  She brings us so much joy!!  She loves anything with chocolate, anything made with white flour and anything cheese related.  She got her temple recommend and is so excited to go the temple for the first time.  She is an amazing sister to her three younger brothers.  She is loved by all and is the sweetest angel!  We love you Mikaela!!

Kai's first field trip to the Fire Station

I got help with Kai's first field trip to the fire station.  It was pretty cool.  We are blessed to have my wonderful Sister-in-law Julie as Kai's teacher of the Tree House Preschool.  We love her!!

We made it to Lego Land!!!

We didn't realize that Lego Land was closed during the week and that put a damper on our trip, but we finally made it the day we were suppose to come home.  The kids loved, loved, loved it!!

Koby and Dark Vader.

Kai and Batman.

It was so great because Karsten could go on almost any ride.

Don't know who took this and why it is so weird, but it is the only picture I am in so I thought I would post it. :)

Star Wars - I am still amazed at what they can build with lego's!!

Every kid needed a picture in the shark.

Boat ride.

Mikaela and Koby got to have driving lessons.  The got a license and everything.  Pretty cool!

A car made out of lego's - way cool!

Kai's favorite - the Pumpkin.

This is for my Svendsen family.  Duplos from Denmark.  We loved this part!

Kai's other favorite part - T-Rex.

My three cute boys - this picture is actually at the Orange County Swap meet.

Kai's turn to drive his own car. :)

I have heard mixed reviews about Lego Land - but we loved it.  I would go again in a heart beat!! :)

Lego Land - Aquarium

It was really rainy and the main Lego Land was closed so we went to the aquarium.  It was so cool!

Amazing star fish.

I can't believe what they can do out of Lego's.  Koby's dream!!

Amazing octopus.

Baby octopus.

Touching the star fishes.

Our kids favorite - Sponge bob.

This was Karsten's first time at the beach - He loved it!

Cool spot at Laguna Beach.

The kids found a cool little cove to play in.

Matt is in heaven.
