Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all! We had a great day, lots of family and lots of fun. We miss and love all of those that couldn't be with us this Christmas. Here is to a great new year.

Lake Powell

We went on a little family vacation to lake Powell and goblin Valley. We had lots and lots of fun. We swam and boated and hiked. And since it is October it wasn't to hot. Which is good  thing,  considering both those places are in the middle of the desert

Logan's new ride

Chad bought Logan a mini mustang, same color as his. We got a super deal on it, and he looks very cute cleaning it and washing it.

Kite flying at the park.

We went to the park today. Chad and Logan flew a kite then Logan played and played. Ah the days of summer.

What have we been up to?

What have we been up to, you might ask? Well...we have gone for walks, gone to the park, to the bounce house , to the aquarium, we have gone for motorcycle rides in the field-Logan loves to ride with daddy!. Logan has spent the night at Grammie and Poppies, and hung out with his cousin Camille. Sounds like every day stuff, right?  The great thing about a toddler is that everyday stuff is a new experience for him, and therefore a new experience for us, as parents! A walk in the field with trees getting new leaves turned into an hour of Logan's saying, "WOW!" or "TREE!" or "What's this" in his most excited voice. A return to simple pleasures like digging in the dirt with spoons, or a walk around the block.  I had forgotten how much I had enjoyed these things I used to do as a kid, and now I get to do them again, as an adult! 

Bounce Bounce Bounce

 Bounce house extravaganza!  Logan and Camille hung out at the bounce house for a few hours the other day. Classic Fun Center, formally Classic Skate has half a dozen bounce houses and a jungle area for climbing and all types of fun. Logan loves his cousin Camille. We met up at her house before we headed to Classic, and Logan freaked out when she got in the car with her mom, and not in our truck. The whole ride there(luckily short) Logan was yelling Mille! Mille! and crying. When we got there, he and Camille played and jumped and were all types of crazy. She is so good with him! Here are some pictures.

On this cold and snowy day I thought I'd reminisce about summer. Last summer we boating in Lake Powell with our friends. We had so much fun! Ah summertime...Sandcastles sun and water...What could be better.

Working on the car

Logan loves to help his daddy in the shop. 

The aquarium

We went to the aquarium the other day. Logan loves the fishies, he calls them ishies. We have a membership so we can go as often as we like and normally we watch the fish for a while, then we to the frog section and then go home. But this day they had just gotten the otters in and logan was completely enthralled. I think he thought they were some strange cat because he kept meowing at them:) we watched them play and swim and eat for an hour. That's pretty good attention span for a 2 year old. Here are some pictures from my phone. I forgot my camera:( 

I am starting this blog today to write about our adventures!
