Merry Christmas!

Christmas this year was amazing!! I knew Logan wouldn't really get it, but Trent and I were so excited for his first Christmas anyway! To get us in the spirit, we went with our friends, the Dean's, to see the lights at Temple Square. It was absolutely freezing, but fun anyway! The lights are always beautiful! After the lights, we had a yummy dinner at the Garden - complete with deep fried pickles! Don't judge until you try - they are delicious!

Every year, the Davis Conference Center (I used to work full-time there, but since I've had Logan, I just work occasionally) has Breakfast with Santa. We took Logan to see Santa for the first time, and his expression never changed.

We spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with the Brough's in Trenton, then head back to Centerville to spend time the rest of Christmas with the Wood's.

Packed and ready to go!

Me and my mom.Our little fam, first thing on Christmas morning. Not too pretty!
Our adorable little Santa!
He has no clue what a present is!
Logan loves his new toy - it's also a walker.

The super cute sled Nana and Papa Wood gave Logan.
It was a lot of fun - great food, games, and wonderful family!! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and we're looking forward to 2010 and more adventures!!

Catch Up...

I know, I've been really bad at this lately. I have been chastised by a few of my faithful blog stalkers. I hope you have some time, because this is a long one!

Halloween 2009 was a big success! Logan was the most adorable little pumpkin, and as you can see from the pictures, Trent had to match him.


Trent has a Halloween tradition of going to Shopko in the morning and buying a costume off of their 75% off rack. It worked out that he found a pumpkin costume too - it's actually a kid's costume, but it fit him anyway!! We went to my sister-in-law's house (Michelle), who made amazing homemade soup and doughnuts. It was delicious and the cousins had a great time in their costumes. We had pumpkin, a geisha, a pirate, a Jedi knight, and a pioneer girl. It was a lot of fun, and I ended up buying Logan's costume for next year for a great deal at Old Navy! You'll have to tune in next year to see what he'll be!

Thanksgiving was wonderful! I regret to say that I didn't take a single picture of Logan on Thanksgiving - I don't know what I was thinking. We were with the Brough family in Smithfield this year and I made my first pies - crust and all! I made a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie - and they both turned out great! I'll admit, I had help from my sister-in-law (Michelle again) who is a fantastic cook!

We also took some great family pictures at various times. Here are a few of my faves.

Logan is 9 months now and all over the place. He can crawl, pull himself up, and walk along things like the couch or a coffee table. He just had his 9 month checkup and dropped to the 25 percentile for weight. My pediatrician said that is normal - it happens a lot to babies around 9-12 months. I'm sure it's because since Logan figured out he can move, he hasn't stopped! This is exhausting for me - I have to keep an eye on him constantly! It's super fun at the same time because he is so curious and has gotten much more interactive. He loves to eat - I just gave him some yogurt with fruit in it for the first time today and he thoroughly enjoyed it! Here are some of my favorite Logan pictures of late.

He is totally zonked out in this one and has his teddy/blanket over his head.

Please ignore the dust on my mirror!

Trent won't be happy that I'm posting this one, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him! Trent was holding Logan and the corner of the car door swung and hit Logan in the forehead. Logan's poor little forehead bled and it was very sad. :( It is now healing nicely, and hopefully it won't scar. If it does, I can always hold it over Trent's head! :)My in-laws are building a new cabin in Eden. We went up to see the progress and it was freezing! Luckily, Uncle Sakae was there and willing to share his coat!

Whew! I hope you got through this and enjoyed it! I have some great holiday pics that I will post shortly. I don't want to overload you all too much. Also, notice the very cute new font? Thanks to Kaitlyn for referring me to www.thecutestblogontheblock.com to figure out how to do it (click on Free Blogging Secrets). Warning for anyone who is going to try - make sure you have some time! It takes a bit to do it, but so worth it!

The Two Logans

This is Logan with his friend Logan! My friend Mandy has an adorable little boy named Logan and we were over there the other day. Although they look about the same size, my Logan is 6 months and her Logan is 14 months! He's just a little guy, but so cute! They're already friends!

6 Month Checkup

Today was Logan's 6 month checkup. He weighs 17 pounds, 2 ounces (45th percentile), is 26 3/4 inches long (65th percentile), and his head is 17 3/4 inches (80th percentile). He has a big head - all those brains I guess! He was really good - even through his 3 shots! He cried for just a minute, but stopped when I picked him up. I'm so lucky he's such a good baby!!

6 months already?

Logan is 6 months old today and I can't believe it! Time has flown and he amazes me every day! He loves food, can sit pretty well (still working on the balance), says MOM, and is getting ready to crawl! He's so much fun and I'm so glad I get to stay home with him! It's challenging, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

This is Logan's old man / bitter beer face. We're pretty sure he's teething!


Logan fell backwards right after I took this one!

Go Aggies!

Tonight is the first Utah State game of the season. We have high hopes for Gary Andersen! We're starting Logan early - he's going to be an Aggie!

Logan's First Balloon Festival

Every year in Eden there is an awesome hot air balloon festival. My in-laws have a cabin in Liberty, so we all squeeze into the cabin and watch the balloons for the weekend. This was Logan's first one and it was so much fun!

He loves his Aunty Angie and Papa!

This is Logan's cute cousin Izzy. She loves him and is going to be the best babysitter! By the way, neither Trent nor I can do the one eyebrow lift. We're not sure how Logan can do it!


This is the biggest hot air balloon in the world - it's taller than the Statue of Liberty!!

Happy 4th of July!

Logan made it through his first 4th of July! Trent did the 5k with our 2 dogs, we went to IHOP with the fam for breakfast, and Logan enjoyed his first parade. He didn't cry at all, but did startle big time when a band starting playing right in front of us. And he looked very patriotic all day! We went swimming at Trent's parents and played games. We skipped the fireworks - Logan's been sleeping through the night and we didn't want to mess with his schedule! We watched them from home. We hope you all had a great 4th of July!!

Happy Baek-il!!

Logan turned 100 days old yesterday! In Korean culture, it is customary to celebrate this occasion. We didn't do it exactly as they would in Korea, but we had fun!! It was our nephew's birthday yesterday as well, so the family all went to Chuck-E-Cheese. Trent and I snuck in some yummy Korean treats - duk, rice cakes, and of course, Choco Pies! Logan was adorable as usual and here's a family shot!

We are so blessed to have such a great little family! Logan is getting bigger every day and doing new things all the time! I am excited, but also the sentimental mom who is sad to see him get bigger at all! I love that his is little, snuggly, and needs his mom!! He smiles, but not a ton. He smiles more and more, especially in the mornings. He's a pretty serious baby and that drives his dad crazy!

6 years and still going strong!

Today is our 6 year anniversary! It's crazy that is has already been 6 years - we've had a great time so far and I can't wait for many more years! We have some great trips we've taken - California, New York, Hawaii, Korea, an amazing cruise - and more to come in the future! To celebrate, we went and had a great dinner at Kyoto - delicious Japanese cuisine!


They had some pretty flowers that we decided to pose in front of!



We had sushi, Agadashi Tofu, tempura, and other yummy foods!


Then, we rushed to Pioneer Theatre, where parking was crazy, and we literally ran in and made it to our seats seconds before our show started - Miss Saigon. It was so good - a little sad and slightly depressing, but really good! The performers were super talented and had amazing voices!


After ice cream, we came home to our little Logan and we had missed him! It's so weird leaving him for any amount of time. My mom came and baby-sat for us. Then, Trent surprised me with the absolute best present - my very own KINDLE!! I've been dying to have one, but had a hard time justifying the cost, but he bought me one. I absolutely LOVE it and have the best husband in the world!! It was a wonderful anniversary and I love celebrating our marriage!!
