Happy Birthday Mommy!!!

Today is Jess's 27th birthday and Logan and I wanted to let her know how much we love her. She is the best mom and wife! Thank you Jess for all you do for us, and all that you put up with. We love you so much!
Logan and I really wanted to share some of the things we really love to do with Jess:


Go to the park, and throw Logan down the big slide!


We really love it when Jess takes us on wild snake hunts in the desert!


We get really excited anytime Jess let's Logan out of his box to play.


Logan especially likes it when we all get dressed up in monkey suits.

These are just a few of things we love to do with Jess. Thanks for making our life so fun and interesting! We love you!

Grandma & Grandpa Bryner Came to Visit!

This past week, we were lucky to have the Bryners stay with us. Logan was in heaven the entire time! He couldn't get enough of his grandparents or their apples for that matter! They brought us a bunch of freshly picked apples from their house (delicious) and Brent offered an apple to Logi to play with and that fast his apple addicition began! He didn't just play with the apple or eat it after it was cut into pieces...he insisted on eating the apple whole!
Knowing what a choking hazard this could be, we peeled the smallest apple in the bunch and let Logan have his way with it...gnawing, chewing, and sucking the apple nearly down to the core! He loved it and could not stop talking about it!
Everytime Brent would come in the room, Logi would say, "apple, apple" over and over! Besides talking about balls, apples are now his second favorite subject:) After the Bryners left, Logi wandered aimlessly around the house saying, "apple, apple" while looking for his grandparents...it took him a little while to realize that they were gone:(

Besides eating apples, we did a lot of fun things like: going to the park, chased ducks (mainly Logan), went out to eat, hiking, visited a ghost town, watched 3 movies, went to Clark & Lindsay's house for dinner, and just enjoyed being with eachother.
We also made many tasty gluten free treats and ate "Dinner in a Pumpkin" one night! It is always sad to see them go, but we are looking forward to seeing them this Thanksgiving!
Thanks for visiting us and thank you again for the early b-day present! We love you!

Disneyland!!!

Since last year, my nephew Wade (4 years old) has been begging and counting on us to come with him and his family, of course, to Disneyland this year. A promise is a promise and we stuck to it and we are happy that we did. It is about a 5 & 1/2 hour drive to Anaheim from our house so we were able to make it a weekend trip. We left Friday morning, spent all day (10am to 10:30 pm) at Disneyland on Saturday, then came home Sunday afternoon.

Disneyland was covered head to toe in Halloween decor and they even changed and I mean CHANGED the Haunted House to a "Nightmare Before Christmas" theme, which is one of my favorite movies so I loved it! We weren't sure how Logan was going to react to the whole thing, but he actually LOVED the rides and would cry in line if we had to wait too long (that part wasn't fun)! He caught a few little naps throughout the day was quite the trooper!

Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones with the idea to head to Disneyland over Harvest Break...the place was packed!!! I have never seen it busier and I have been there many, many times...it was crazy! Thank goodness for strollers...they make a great pathway especially following Jen's gigantic double wide stroller with 3 screaming kids on it:) We all had a great time and it is a tradition we would like to keep except maybe go at a more off-peak time:)

Logan's Got This Walking Thing Down

Over the past few weeks Logan has been figuring out how to walk. Here's a little video that shows his progress:

It may be a few more weeks before he'll be running, but we aren't looking forward to that time anyway:)
