Halloween

I don't know why, but I'm so excited for Halloween this year! In fact, I'm so excited, I already put up our decorations!!! (The few we have anyway) I took the pictures before I pulled the weeds, so it kind of looks a little tacky. Just imagine the weeds aren't there. Or just think of it as adding to the effect!! Hee hee!

Forgot to add this to the last one!

Adam makes Logan laugh all the time and he caught it on video for me while I was at work!

Catch up time!!!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything in over a month... Shame on me!! Well, let me catch everyone up on what's been going on!
In August, Adam went on a trip to California with his older brother Darrel. Darrel got tickets to Blizzcon (Blizzard Convention) and invited Adam to go with him. They drove to CA at 5:30 am on August 20th and got there around 3:30 pacific time. The convention was the 21st and the 22nd. They got to see previews of new games that are coming out next year. They had a lot of fun! Then they left at 5:30 pacific time on the 23rd to drive back home. Adam had to drop his brother off in Eagle Mountain and then he drove home. Meanwhile at home, Logan and I just hung out the whole weekend. Saturday he was really really grumpy so I took him to grandma and grandpa Nattress' house. I was very very happy to see Adam when he came back home! I missed him so much! That's only the second time I have slept alone since being married. When I packed the suitcase for Adam, we put Logan inside to see if he would fit. He looked so cute in there!! Hee hee!


















Logan is getting so big now. I can't believe how much he's grown since he was born. I realized how much he grew when I put away his first box of clothes that were too small... I miss how tiny he was! I'm loving seeing him grow and develop, but when you look back you realize how tiny and helpless he was. Our love for him has grown so much! It's amazing how much love you can have for a child!
Today Logan tried his first vegetable! We started him off with green beans. He didn't know what to think of it at first! He's used to rice cereal so I think we threw him off. He got used to the taste after a couple of bites. He almost ate the whole thing but towards the end he started making faces and pushing his lips together so we couldn't put the spoon in. I can't believe how big he's getting!
























































Since Logan is getting older, I thought it was time to get him a bouncer. He LOVES his bouncer. He's getting better with his balance since he's had this. He still isn't sitting on his own, but I hope this will help him with that!
Every year my dad works at the fair. He is usually at the grandstand entrance taking tickets at the gate. This year, he got Adam a job there too! Adam will be working the fair at night after he gets off of work. I hope he'll have fun doing this! I know my dad likes it and I can only hope Adam has the same appreciation for it. I love the fair! I don't really ever buy anything there but the atmosphere is worth the trip! I'm excited to start taking Logan and I hope he'll love it as much as I do as he gets older.

4th of July Weekend

This weekend was quite eventful! On Friday, Steven and Katheryn got married in the Draper Temple. It was so beautiful and I'm so happy for them! Steven found an awesome companion! I'm so glad Katheryn and Sammy are in our lives now and we welcome both of them with open arms. The sealing was at 10 am and then we had a luncheon afterwards. Then their reception was at 6 pm that night. Katheryn looked so beautiful. The church was decorated very nicely and it was just a wonderful day. I'm glad Steven found someone to make him happy. You can see the change in his life and he's a different person for the better because of her.



















Saturday we were having dinner at my grandparents house to celebrate the 4th of July. We brought our own meat to barbeque and everyone brought sides. It was so yummy! The salads everyone made were wonderful. My cousin Travis had come out from California for Steven's wedding. It was so great to see him! I don't remember the last time I got to see him and hang out! We were all so glad that he made it out. My grandma had us all play musical chairs and it was really fun! The guys played first and Travis was the winner! Then the girls played next and Macy won that round.

Logan

Well, it's been too long since I've put up pictures of my little man! Logan is now almost 10 weeks old. He weighs 10 lbs and 4 oz and is in the 19th percentile for weight. He's definately got his daddy's genes! I'm not sure how tall he is, but he's in the 55th percentile for height. I have gone back to work and grandma is watching him Monday through Wednesday and then my sister is taking him on Thursdays. It's just a joy watching him grow up! I can't believe he's two and a half months already! Time is just going by so fast








It was really cold the other day, so we put him in this cute little outfit! We couldn't resist taking pictures!















Whenever he goes to sleep, we look over at him two minutes later and his head is in that exact position! No matter how many times we straighten him out, he goes right back to this position.















Logan taking a nap with daddy! It was too cute to resist! I love my boys!















Logan and his cute plaid shorts!




















Logan's looking at his daddy! His daddy makes him smile all day!




Cereal

The other night, Adam and I were really hungry but neither of us wanted to make dinner. So while I was feeding Logan, I asked Adam to make me a BIG bowl of cereal because I was starving. So while he goes downstairs, I was sitting there feeding Logan and watching tv. Adam comes back in the room two minutes later with a 1/4 cup filled with cereal and milk. And to top it off, he added a 1/8 tsp for me to eat it with. I laughed so hard, it took me 5 minutes just to calm back down. And then I ate it and he made me a real bowl of cereal. This was just too funny not to share!

New Calling

Adam and I have been released from the primary! We are no longer Sunbeam teachers. I didn't get called to anything new (thank goodness), but Adam did. Adam is now the assistant or co-leader (we don't exactly know yet) in the 11 year old scouting program. He's pretty excited!
