Spring is here... and it came just in time! Logan and I had had just about enough of this Utah winter. Don't get me wrong, we love a good snowfall... but getting sick every other week had just about pushed me over the edge. :) With all of this good weather, we have been frequenting the park, zoo, and duck pond. Even though we were outside quite a bit throughout the winter (my personal rule is that if it is above 32 degrees, we go outside for a bit), it's so nice to feel the sunshine on our faces! Here are some of our recent adventures:
 |
| One sunny day we went and visited all of our friends at the Village. Logan fell in love with this frog, and had to give it lots of kisses before we left. |

| The Village |
 |
| Watching his "Moobies" with Dad |
 |
| Another not-so-sunny day we went to this way fun place called "Bouncin' off the Walls." It's basically this big room with tons of blow up houses and slides. We went with some of our buddies from MSA, and Logan had a blast! He took his very first 3 hour nap after this adventure! |
 |
| Mommy left Logan for the longest time EVER and went snowboarding at The Canyons in Park City! The day was great, and I had actually fallen a pretty minimal amount... until the very end... when Ryley convinced me to snowboard down to the cars instead of taking the lift. I was too tired, and after smacking my head on the ice 20 something times, I ended up carrying my snowboard and walking the last two miles. Next time, I'l know when to stop! |
 |
| Logan loves to ask, "Where'd it go?" Here he is asking where the "quirl" went at the zoo. He would shout "Peek-boo!" every time it reappeared. This little boy gets more and more fun every day! Every time we leave an animal area he yells "Buh-bye!" to all his furry creatures. He also does this to every car that drives by, every person we pass, and every park he sees. So cute. |
 |
| We planted flowers! Logan was such a big helper.. as you can probably tell by all the dirt mixed with chocolate smeared around his face. The flowers are in big pots in our house until the weather stabilizes enough for them to go outside. Soon we will start our garden on our deck. So excited! |
 |
| Next week we will be busy with the 4th Street Triathlon, so we decided to do a little egg hunt for Logan this past Saturday. He couldn't figure out why there were eggs on his grass, and was overjoyed to discover that there was candy inside!! After that he would just open up all the eggs, dump the candy out onto the grass, and throw the egg to the side. He couldn't understand why we kept putting them into his basket. :) |
 |
| He also got some bubbles in his eggs... bubbles are one of his absolute favorite things. |
 |
| For the MSA closing social we went bowling! Logan helped me bowl... and sadly I got a much better score when he was helping me than when he wasn't! He was so incredibly thrilled that he got to roll big balls and knock things down. It was extra fun trying to keep Logan from running down the lane to investigate the pins. It added a whole new element to the game! |
 |
| Logan LOVES playing with kids... but only with kids at least 3 years older than him. At the bowling party there were plenty of kids his age, but he only wanted to follow around the 6 year old group. He looked so funny running around with all the big boys. Thankfully they were all very sweet and let him join in on their games. He though he was SO cool. :) Here he is playing with a cute 6 year old. He kept shouting "one, two, three!" and hitting him with the balloon. From there on out, Logan was known as "One, two, three" by all his buddies. |
 |
| Later that day we went to the duck pond! There were way more seagulls than ducks, but Logan didn't care. He actually tried to wade out into the water to catch them. My no-fear little boy scares me to death! |
 |
Here we are at the park.. with Logan trying to escape, as usual. One of these day I will get a picture of all of us with Logan looking at the camera!
Some more Logan updates:
He knows where just about every body part is....
But...we didn't want to teach Logan the word "Bum", so we just never mentioned that part of the body. Unfortunately, our little man noticed his rear end and named it himself. Everyone's bum's are now referred to as "Poops" by Logan. And he lets everyone know. In the store, in meetings, in church... so great. :) So, if you ever get your rear poked by Logan and he yells "poop!" I am SO sorry. We are working-really, really hard- to fix this. :)
I believe that my son is the embodiment of entropy. My books are not only taken off the shelf, but de-sleeved. My dvd's are taken off the TV stand, taken out of their cases, and then strewn throughout the house. My Phase 10 cards are thrown off the balcony. My pens are completely disassembled. My drawers are emptied of their laundry. My cooking supplies are freed from their shelves. I won't even get into what happens to everything I cook him, and the state of all my poor potted plants that are within arms reach. :)
I could possibly go on forever about my little guy, but there is another man in my life that deserves some attention, and Sunday is his no-study day. So, I will write more later. :) |
