Snow !!! Snow!!! and more...Snow!!!!

A doe outside our window. This is why we live in the sticks. It is such a beautiful site.

Cheese

Logan would only walk in the snow if he was holding our hands.

Logan on our homade sled. We drilled two holes in a Rubbermaid container lid and tied a rope to it. He loved it.

I really enjoyed the snow in the begining,but I am a little sick of it now. We have dug out our driveway and street more times than I can count. Our pipes froze. We woke up to no water one morning. Kevin and I looked up solutions to this problem on the internet. We got our answer. So at 4 am Kevin was under the house in 8 degree weather armed with my hairdryer and a walkie talkie. He found the un covered section of pipe and used the hairdryer to thaw it out. I used the walkie talkie to tell him when the water was running. High fives for us we worked as a team!!

Logan doesn't last long in the snow. He takes his mittens off when they get snow on them and within minutes he is saying "Want to go in Logan's house" .

All bundeled up

Logan sitting on the rock while we shovel the driveway.

Kevin clearing the driveway for the 100th time. This time it was dry snow so he thought that he would try the leaf blower. Yeah it didn't work so well.

Halloween

Logan loved Halloween this year. This was the year of Star Wars. Logan was Chewbacca, Alex was Anikan,and Emily was Anikans pad wan Ahsoka. Leah and Aaron also dressed up. Leah was Queen Amidala and Aaron was Darth Vader. We had a great time. We went trick or treating down town. Logan started out nice and polite saying trick or treat and remembering to say thank you,by the end he was trying to grab hand fulls of candy and would run to the next store. He had more candy yesterday than he has had in his whole life. Before yesterday the only candy he new existed was M&Ms now he knows there is much more out there. We then went to Leah and Aarons to have dinner. After dinner we went trick or treating in Leahs neighborhood. Logan didn't last long nor did we think he would. Alex and Emily went on and we took Logan to Uncle Jasons house and then to both grandparents house. It was a long day for Logan. He fell asleep on the way home. He had a great time though.

Leaves,Leaves and more Leaves

Could there be anymore leaves? Well yes there could. We still have two whole trees full. Kevin had cleaned up the leaves just two days before. They really are pretty though. I Love fall.

Happy Birthday Logan!!!! Wow 2 Years old!! Oct.27,2008

Logan is a very lucky little boy. He was born on my dads birthday so they get to spend there special day together. Pop Pop turned 55 and Logan turned 2. Logan picked the theme of the party. Thomas of course. My mom made the cake. This is really special because she has always made the kids cakes she used to make mine when I was a little girl. We have not found a character that she couldn't do. Logan really liked his cake. Thank you mom. We had a great evening. We started out the night with a dinner at Red Robin. Logan clapped along to the singing and was just so excited about the sundae. We then went to my parents house for cake and presents. Logan is set for quite a while.

Haggen Spooktacular October 25,2008

We made spiders out of oreo cookies and pretzels then made a ghost out of a tootsie roll pop and coffee filter. This was really fun. Logan really got into it, he even put the eyes on by himself. He really enjoyed eating them.

Pancake breakfast

We went to a pancake breakfast a the fire station. Logan didn't eat any pancakes but he did get a fire hat and a chance to pose with the fire truck.

Train Table

Logan is on cloud nine because he just got a train table from Leah and Aaron's neighbors. Thank You Alexander family! Logan loves it! He spends hours with his little wooden trains.

Field Trip To Box Berry Farm

Emily invited us to go on her field trip to the pumpkin patch. Logan had a great time. His favorite thing was the choo choo train ride.

Could that smile be any bigger

Stoney Ridge October 11,2008

We had a great time at Stoney Ridge Farm. We being Kevin,Logan,My mom,My dad, Alex,Emily, and of course me. Leah and Aaron were in Hawaii that is why they were not there. We went on a hay ride,walked through a corn maze, picked out pumpkins, looked at farm animals, and did our traditional line up to see how big the kids had gotten. So I also added 2 pictures of Alex and Emily the first time I went to Stoney Ridge with them. Notice that Logan has the same coat on that Emily had on back in 2005, The coat was originally Alex's. I also didn't realize how much Logan and Emily look alike.
