Addy 9 Months & Logan 3 1/2

Amber Posted:
Logan is loving Joy School and playing with his friends. He also loves his new Sunbeam class and his great teachers. He is learning his letters and the sounds that they make. It has been fun watching him learn and grow so fast. I am blown away how quick he can remember the things we teach him. He is getting really good at coloring in the lines and doing his "school work". We took him to the allergist and he weighs 38 lbs and 40 inches tall. THE BIG NEWS IS HE IS ALLERGIC TO CASHEWS!! The reason we took him to allergist was one day at Costco he had a sample of the mixed nuts cup and his lip swelled up huge. At first we thought he bit his lip but after a closer look man it was huge, I had a feeling it was more than that. We took him in and sure enough he is allergic to Cashews. He has had them before but the allergist said children can become allergic to different things and this was one for him. So no more cashews or pistachios for Logan. We now always carry an EpiPen and Benadryl for our little man. Logan is also getting so good at riding his bike. He goes really fast it is neat to see him get so excited about riding everyday.


Addysen turned 9 months old on Feb 18 it is crazy how fast time is going. Her stats for being 9 months old are 17.6 lbs (25%) & 27.5 inches (50%). We are loving every minute with our two kids. Addysen is so happy, fun, and beautiful we can't get enough of her. Addy is learning new things everyday.

Here are a couple of awesome new things she has been working on:
*Picking up cheerios and putting them in her mouth (and actually letting them go in her mouth) Feeding herself took a little practice but she figured it out.
*This past week she has been watching us eat and decided she no longer wants baby food. She wants what we are eating. It has been amazing to watch her reject foods she used to love. I think she is growing up faster than Logan did.
*She is doing patty cake and clapping her hands on cue. She is so proud of herself!
*She crawls once in a while but scoots all over the place.
*She is pulling yourself up and getting a couple seconds of balancing in before she falls over.
*Addysen is waving good bye and smiling at everyone that looks at her.
*She loves Logan and Daddy but really LOVES her mama!
*She is sleeping thru the night :-)
*Addy also scrunches up her nose cute but I haven't been able to get the greatest picture of her doing it yet.....For now here are a some pics of our pretty little girl.




I feel so blessed to be a mom! I love my kids and my beautiful hubby.

Savage Mill Ward Talent Show

Big thanks to Cami, Jake and all of the other activities committee for throwing together another awesome show. Logan and I had a blast!

Fun in Utah / flashback friday (for Ben)

It has been a couple of weeks now since we were in Utah visiting my family. We stayed at Al and Ben's and spent the first day up in the mountains playing in the snow, snowmobiling. Ben provided the sleds and the sweet truck to get there... Logan, being a truck fan, naturally loved the monster Ford and the bumpy ride up the mountain. Click Here for Al and Ben's post.
Uncle David shared his tunes with Logan.
Once we arrived, Ben took us along a trail to a play spot where we had ample space to go fast and climb a hill. What a blast, and Logan was such a sport, he did so good holding on and everytime we stopped he would get mad that he wasn't moving:)


We spent a few hours riding and on the way back to the truck and trailer, Logan actually fell asleep sitting up in front of me, with his head rested on the handlebars... what a kid...
Here we are 2009 and below are some pics of our previous trip up to Steamboat Colorado, to an elk hunting lodge where we enjoyed our first snowmobile experience (where I almost died... three times.... ((sorry Armando))...) circa 2002


See Ben, I told you I got some air once upon a time....

Our first real table!

So after we were married, my parents hooked us up with our first kitchen table it was one of those extruded plastic card tables, which was great because we did not have any space and it folded up and slid nicely behind the couch. Our next table was one that our good friends the Rogers let us borrow. It was a little bigger and was great because it folded in half to be whatever size we needed. So with it being President's day and all, there were a bunch of good sales and we saw this table in the JC Penny ad so we thought that it was a good time to finally get a table.
It is a tad bigger than the old table even without the leaf in.... and that is the coolest part, the leaf folds up and under the table for storage. We love it, feel free to come over and eat with us on it:)

Logan's new ride

Today we got up and went to Toys 'R' us because we heard that kids bikes were on sale. We have really slacked in teaching Logan to ride a bike, but while he was in New Mexico, his cousin Jade did a great job of showing him the ropes and she even let him use one of her old bikes. He picked up the general idea but still had a bit of trouble going forward.
There in the store he hopped on one of the floor models and off he went. So... we thought, now was as good of a time as ever to get a bike.
Next he picked out a helmet that he liked... I like it too, it is bright red with silver flames on it. It also came with pads. He thinks they are pretty cool, he said that they make him look like Batman.
We brought the bike home and I spent an hour putting it together then we headed out into the cold to test it out. He did great pedaling around the complex twice. We went into the office and he showed the ladies his new gear. It was so much fun to see Logan get so excited, he was so happy about the bike that he could hardly function. I am excited for the spring and warmer days so that he can keep up his practice.
