Winter 2010

We had an amazing winter! (I guess winter is not quite over, but I'm hoping it will be SOON) We went to the lights at Temple Square with the Wood's, and it was beautiful and spiritual as always! Well, as spiritual as you can get with 6 kids running around! They loved the nativity part though, and were actually quiet for it!


Next up, Zoo Lights with my mom. If you haven't done Zoo Lights, it's worth the money! They do an beautiful job and we thoroughly enjoyed it!!


Logan loves playing in the snow! It's not fun getting him all bundled, but once he's dressed and we're outside, he's super happy! He loves to be pulled in his sled and help Daddy shovel! After playing in the snow, Logan loves to snuggle in the blanket Grandma Brough made him and get warm!

I feel like this post has picture overload, so Christmas will have a post of its own!

Wow, long time...

Okay, so it's been a really long time. Sorry about that! I am going to work on getting better at posting, because this is a record for myself as well. I am a terrible journal keeper, so this is somewhat of a journal for me.

As most of you know already, we are having another boy! I am really excited and hope they'll be best buds! Sometimes I get nervous though as Logan is running around making a mess of my house - I'm going to have 2 of those! I can't wait to meet him, but more on my pregnancy later.

First, Halloween. Logan was the most adorable Lion this year and we were in Trenton for Halloween 2010. We went to Lee's, around to a few houses, then did the Trunk or Treat at Trenton Park. It was a lot of fun and it's always great to see all of my old hometown neighbors!!






Thanksgiving 2010 was with the Wood family. We had it at Frank and Sherry's gorgeous new cabin in Liberty. It's right next to the old cabin, but definitely upgraded! We had a lot of fun, but I never think to pull out the camera for dinner. Probably because all I can think of is the wonderful food and Michelle's delicious pies!! The boys brought a projector and screen up and hooked up the XBox. They had fun playing, and so did the kids! Logan joined right in, and while his controller may not have been plugged in, he had fun anyway!!

Big Brother!

Logan is going to be a big brother! We are having another baby and I'm due May 1, 2011. It will be interesting to see what happens with this one - Logan came 3 weeks early, so maybe this one will be early too. I am just over 14 weeks along, and am starting to feel better. I've been pretty nauseous and really tired. I forgot how tired you are during the first trimester! Everything seems different this time around. I feel more tired, but maybe that's because I'm chasing around a 19 month old! I was hardly sick at all with Logan, and ginger ale always helped. I've felt sicker and not much seems to help - ginger ale, peppermint, etc. I'm starting to feel better though, and hoping that is just continues. I started showing much sooner too! I've been in maternity clothes for a few weeks now, but have actually lost 2 pounds this trimester! We are excited and can't wait to find out if we're having a boy or girl. We're a little scared - 2 kids will definitely be an adjustment - but can't wait for Logan to have a sibling!!

Aquarium

Logan loves the aquarium! I think it's all of the bright colors and the fish are constantly moving. We have an annual pass, and my mom, my sister, and her kids came for the day. It's not a very big aquarium, but they have some cool things! You can touch sting rays, they have penguins, and I love the jellyfish!

I love my mom, but she's a terrible photographer! There's a frog statue that Logan is sitting on that you obviously can't see!!


There's the frog! Kenzie, Hunter, and Logan

Random

IT'S ALIVE!! We got our Mac back with a new hard drive and I LOVE Time Machine! It backed up everything - we didn't lose a thing! So, here are some random pictures in an attempt to get caught up...I'm not sure what's with the funky photo positioning, but I'm too lazy to try to figure it out!















Logan and Trent in the pool at my in-laws. Logan loves the water, but thinks it's pretty cool when Dad puts his raft in!

















The zoo with Jacob!






A very nice man in front of us took a group shot on the train. This is me, Logan, Erin, and Jacob. Jacob is about 6 months younger than Logan. I know the boys have zero expression on their faces in every picture, but we really did have a good time!!
















Logan hard at work at my in-laws new cabin! He put rocks in the wheel barrel for about 30 minutes straight! He was so serious about it! Trent and I were shoveling gravel to even out the driveway, and he was helping! Then he needed to relax after all his hard work!! LOVE this boy!!

I have a lot more pictures from the summer, but I hate to overload. More to come in the next few days...keeping coming back!

Lagoon!

I know it has been a while since my last post, and I had a folder of pictures all ready to go and posts to write, but then our desktop crashed! Our hard drive is fried and we had to get it replaced. We have things backed up, but I am hoping that it backed up my recent stuff before our hard drive went kaputz! I had these pictures on my camera still, so I am blogging from my laptop. When we get our desktop Mac back, more posts to come - I hope!!

Every year my work (Western States Lodging) sponsors a Lagoon Day where we get super cheap tickets. Most of Trent's family came and it was a blast!! My wonderful friend Mandy watched Logan in the morning for his nap, so Trent and I got to go on the big, fun rides in the morning! I think the Spider is my favorite, but Wicked is pretty great too! Logan came in the afternoon and had a such a good time!! I haven't really paid attention to the kiddie rides lately, but there were several that he was able to go on. Pretty much every niece and nephew cried because we tried (maybe forced a few times) to get them to go on some of the roller coasters. What's a day at Lagoon with no tears? Not a successful one!! We even won a camera at the employee drawing. Overall, it was an awesome day!!Us at the Spider. This one caused a few tears from a some of the kids - a few scars may have been formed!!Mia, Izzy, and Trent on the musical one that squishes the outside person

Our little fam on the carousel!

Sam and Logan

Logan (blowing a kiss to us) and George

Mia and Izzy with Logan - I felt bad for the girls because their legs were totally squished! But they loved taking Logan on a ride!

Logan and Mom on Odysea - we got squirted with water at the very beginning and he did not like that, but he got over it pretty quickly.

Coolest dude at Lagoon!

7 Years and Counting

Happy 7 year anniversary to us! We saw Garth Brooks in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, then went to The Roof on Saturday night. It was delicious as always! We ate there on our wedding night and love going back there. It's been an amazing 7 years and here's to many more!!
