Missions, Memorial Day, and Marshmallows

These past two weeks have been packed full of fun and family... here is a little bit of what we have been up to:

Logan is the olive kid.  This is him asking for more of them....pretty sure he ate the whole can that night.  We were in Ely for Memorial Day weekend, so whenever his mean parents told him no, he had a whole mass of grandparents/aunts and uncles ready to bend to his every whim.  :)  (He is also wearing the shirt that his Grandma Enz brought him back from Ireland.)

Here's my brother, Danny, opening his mission call.  We are so proud of him!  He has been called to serve in the Mexico, Mexico City East mission, and will report to the MTC on September 14th.  Yeah!  We are so excited to write letters. :)  Also in the picture is my Grandpa Beckwith, holding up the phone with one of my aunts (Amber) on the other line, a phone on the table next to the plant which would be my aunt Summer, and my other naughty little brother, Aydan.

Logan has a new hero.  Ever since we left Ely all I hear is "Aydan, Aydan, Aydan....?"  I tried to tell him that Aydan is in Ely... Now I hear, "Open Ely? Open Ely? Open Ely?" :)  I love how his little brain works.

As usual, it snowed in Ely on Memorial Day.  I don't know why we are always so surprised....

Cammi's snow family.  She's such a creative little girl. :)  My favorite is the little snow-dog.  Shortly after this picture was taken, Logan licked all of the snow people until he got a brain freeze, and then Aydan knocked off their heads with his bat.  

I put a cup of water outside on our balcony so I could water our plants.  Then I went inside for about 2 seconds.  I came back out to find this.  The blue pot used to hold our money tree that Logan is now stirring the mud mixture in the cup of water with.  That pretty much sums up my life right there. :)

One of the books that we have has a little boy with a sack over his head in one of the pictures.  Logan wanted a "hat", and wore this around for about half an hour.  He thinks that golf cart he is holding is a vacuum cleaner, and will battle my actual vacuum cleaner for all of the crumbs in the house.  Sometimes he can get brutal. 

I love this little guy.  Later that day we went on a walk, and every time we would see a bug Logan would crouch down, wave, and say, "Hi! What doing bug?"  It really is the cutest thing ever.  Then he flicks the poor roly polies until they curl up into balls.  He's always so proud of himself... I mean, how many people can turn their favorite thing (bugs), into their other favorite thing (balls)?  

Logan at the neighborhood pool party.  He was so not impressed with the water.  He just liked the toys and the chickens in the back of the house.  He woke up the next day bawking.  I guess he dreamt about the chickens. :)

Logan and Daddy making smores on our deck tonight.  I don't really know what we were thinking... it was like 90 degrees on our deck.  Plus, Logan and Ryley really just wanted to torture the poor marshmallows.  They liked to drop them in the fire and watch them burn.  Then they would smear them around with sticks.  Oh boys. :)

I always forget to aim the camera the right way while videotaping... but here is a sideways video of Danny opening his mission call.
