Happy 3rd Birthday Logan!!!

It is hard to believe that Logan is 3. Even harder to believe is that he had just celebrated his 1st birthday when we moved to Maryland. He took his first steps here, and learned to talk, sing and dance here... funny how time flies. We looked at some of his baby pictures and it made us miss our little Loli but every day as he grows, we love him even more. We didn't throw a big party this year cause we were still getting used to being back home. We had a blast walking through the store picking things up for him... Some of Logan's favorite things are: Legos, Starwars and cars, so we got him a bunch of toy cars, a pair of light sabers and a play mobile set that looked kind of like Legos (we'll get him the real thing maybe next year). Amber baked a cake and we frosted it with blue frosting and set the pirate ship in it. Logan got a real kick out of it. What a silly kid, after he blew out the candle I picked it up for him to suck the frosting off and instead, he bit the candle...
Grandma Dana and Grandpa Allen sent Logan this cool doctor kit complete with a stethoscope that makes a heart beat sound and a beeper that is loud enough to wake the neighbors.
Grandma Pauleen and Grandpa Courtland sent a package with several presents for Logan to unwrap, here he is with the binoculars and the Starwars transformer. Kristen also pitched in some great books, he had me read them all to him twice. I highly recommend "I am the biggest thing in the ocean".
So here he is, our BIG little Loli. We love you kid! (even though you give me nuts dude)

Logan-Glen

Sayings from the summer: You are dude, you give me nuts!
-- Translation: Dude, you make me nuts!
Joke of the day: What does a moose say? Moooooo:)
One more jewel: Buzz doll says, "I'm Buzz Lightyear, I come in peace."
Logan says, "No!!! My come in peace!"

Addy-Bri

I just want to squeeze that face! Her stats for her 2 month appointment but she was almost three months. She weighs 12 lbs 10.2 oz in the 75% and is 24 1/2 inches long 90%! She is doing great.



Check out those curls and pretty eyes.........

Addysen is 3 months old today! She is our little angel. Yes we did it we got her ears pierced. We have gone back and forth about the idea for months and finally just decided to do it. She did great and only cried for a minute. Think what you want but you can not deny that she is a pretty little girl. (And now she will take after her adorable cousin Jade!) :-) Thanks Tiff for the pep talk. P.S. Janet and Emily thanks for the cute outfit.

Wii did it!!!

A half year of babysitting has finally paid off. Our Wii has shipped! Check out www.freegameconsoles.net if you want to experience the joy of getting something for nearly nothing (but time).

Congratulations Emily!!!

Tonight our good friend Emily was baptized. We got home on Saturday from our summer away to the wonderful news that she had come to church and wanted to join.
Cami and Jake are so great, they called us up and invited us all over for pancakes where we talked about what needed to be done to move things forward.
Emily has always impressed us with her desire to know the truth. When I was a missionary I knocked thousands of doors and found few that would open the door let alone listen to what we had to say. The first time I met her, the Elder who knocked on her door told me that she was really open to their message and seemed to be determined to find out for herself if it was true. She did exactly that which brings us to today. We are so happy for her and her choice to be baptized.
Matthew and Hayden were troopers and seemed to fit right in with the rest of the boys. Jeffy, Ethan and Logan loved having more friends to pal around with.
One of the sisters from the ward baked a cake that says it all. Happy rebirth day Emily!!!

Greetings from San Fran

Last night we spent the night at Jason and Janet's house, we stayed up late playing board games and Xbox which was a total blast... This morning we woke up and went to see the Golden State Bridge and the Muir Woods.
It was crazy to be here with two kids. The last time we were there was in 2004.
Here is a picture of Jason, Janet and the kids. Logan is so funny he refers to Jason as "that guy" and his cousins as his, "friends". He sure has a blast following Nate and Ben around.
Armando flew out to spend a few days with us. It has been fun catching up and playing together like old times...
