Med school

Time for an update:

Medical School has officially started, and we are all slowly settling into our schedules. School kicked off with the White Coat Ceremony, where Ryley was given his first white coat, a stethoscope, and recited the Hippocratic Oath with the rest of his class. It was really neat being there with him, and my family was able to make it out for the ceremony. I am so proud of my amazing husband and all that he has accomplished so far! To me the White Coat Ceremony was kind of like a graduation from all of the pre-med stuff... prerequisites, the MCAT, applications, interviews and the like. Currently Ryley is buried in his anatomy book, as he starts dissecting his cadaver tomorrow. Before school hit we were lucky enough to fly out to Oregon for a week to spend time with family and friends. Logan was able to meet his Great Grandpa Enz, and we were able to go to Chad and Chelsey's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony at ski bowl on Mt. Hood. Chelsey is such a sweet aunt... she bought Logan and Zoa the cutest outfits for the wedding! The reception was so much fun because I got to dance the night away with my two handsome boys. Right after we got back to Utah my family came to visit! We had so much fun with them! Now that all family is gone, and Ry is off to school, Logie and I are attempting to adjust to our quiet house. To cope we sing to the radio, watch movies, go to the park and the zoo, and cook a lot. I'm joining the MSA, which is a club for spouses of medical students. They have lots of activities-book club, cooking club, play groups, service activities, and more. Being a stay at home mom is actually a lot harder than I thought it would be, but I know that this is where I am supposed to be, and I absolutely love watching my little man grow up. Speaking of which, Logan now walks everywhere with a minimal amount of falling episodes, and can stand up without holding onto anything! He's getting to be such a big boy! He definitely misses his daddy during the day, and I get to hear about it whenever I'm doing something he doesn't like (changing his diaper for example). He yells.."Nananana. Dadadada!" Silly little man.

Wedding Rehearsal. Talk about a gorgeous backdrop...

The beautiful bride with her naughty nephew

So handsome...

I know this picture is a little blurry, but at least you can see the way cute matching outfits Chad and Chelsey got for Logan and Zoa.

Yep, we still love each other a whole heck of a lot.

I love this picture. Logan thinks he's so funny when he's not doing what I want him to do...in this case, sitting still for the camera. And Zoa is being sweet, of course.

Logan loves the water, and actually moves his little arms and legs like he is swimming...

My crazy family...this one's for you Jess. ;)

Here are a couple quick videos of Logie's amazing walking skills... :)

9 months old

Our Little Man is now 9 months old! He is growing up so fast, and is now constantly getting into things! Now that he is a crawler and a walker, he can go wherever he wants..which is usually exactly were we don't want him to go! This past month has been a blast, full of family get togethers and relaxation. My way sweet neighbor lady is also letting me borrow her cricut machine. I am now obsessed and have been cutting out random shapes for days now. I have also ordered vinyl so I can stick the random shapes I cut out onto my walls. :) Ry and I are soaking up each others company as much as we can before medical school begins in about 2 weeks. Here are some pictures of what we've been up to...

Today on our hike some lady made a comment about my cute little girl... so we decided it was about time for a haircut.

Before Picture (Notice the four front teeth coming in? Yeah, that made last weekend fun)


After picture...he knows how handsome he is! :)


This was one of the many activities that Logan took part in on our hike


Such a big boy!


Our date to temple square. It's so beautiful there!

You have no idea how much grief I get for wearing this hat around here...

Oh my Logie


His hair in the back makes him kind of look like a little peacock, don't you think?


At the lake in Idaho

Brown Family Reunion 2010. Logan was a monster with a fever due to teething. It was so much fun to see everyone though!
Pictures of our house that I promised Cammi like 2 weeks ago. Sorry Cam.. here they are now! We've decorated a little more since these were taken, but you get the general idea from them...

Quick update

Hello! Thought I would post a couple pictures of what we have been up to lately...

Back in Utah

We are here! Safely nestled against the Wasatch Mountains, we are loving our new home and neighbors. The ward is amazing and the view from our new balcony is unbeatable! :) Our new home has windows, a thermostat, and a bathtub. Those were my requirements. It ALSO has a dishwasher, washer and drier, a garbage disposal, three rooms, and a cute little yard. And its across from the cutest park ever. Yeah! Logan is loving his new home, but still sleeps in our room. Mostly because his mommy can't bear the thought of him not being next to her. :) Logan still loves to walk, but has finally begun creeping! He is getting so fast, and is into everything already. He looks like a cute little inchworm. Recently we've gone to the zoo, gone on lots of walks, hung out at our new bishop's pool and just plain enjoyed each others company. Life can't get much sweeter than this. We are so blessed, and are so grateful for all those who have helped us get here!

Logan's favorite thing to do at the park besides eating the bark chips...eating the balls.

This is the cutest video ever. I actually thought I was just taking a picture through half of it. So glad it was accidentally on record!
