Catching Up a Little...

It's been a little crazy busy around here and I didn't get some of my Christmas picures posted, so bear with me. The boys got to see Santa at the Ward Christmas Party. Logan was sure to tell Santa that he wanted a jeep for Christmas. The two other boys told him they wanted a Wii. Of course Santa said that he would see what he could do and gave them a bag of treats.

Happy Birthday Dillon...

Dillon is 7 years old! He lost one of his front teeth not to long ago and has a pretty cute toothless grin. He is doing really well in school and is such a sweet boy and brother. He has really taken an interest in art lately. He is so loving, always telling us that he loves us. We celebrated his birthday today and then 2 days later he had a party with some of his cousins who live around here and are his age. He had a Scooby Doo birthday party which was fun to do (lots better than last year - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - you have to get a little more creative with that one). It was fun and I think he had a good birthday! Love you buddy! :)

Happy Birthday Logan...

December 10, 2008

Logan is 3!! I can't believe that he is 3 years old. Where did all the time go? It just seems to go faster and faster with each child. He had a great day! He got a Curious George stuffed animal from Grandma Gardner and he has been sleeping with it, taking it places and rocking it and singing to it since he got it. It's pretty cute. OK - and this child loves to "help out" in the kitchen. Loves to help dad cook, mom cook, and grandma cook. Hence - the kitchen set he received for his birthday. He was so excited and has since made us many a dinner on his little stove with his play food. It's pretty cute to see him play and some of the stuff he thinks up to cook. He was so excited that it was his birthday - he even sang "Happy Birthday" to himself a few times during the day and loved to blow and blow and blow out his candles. It was really cute. I am so grateful that he is in our family. He is our "Wild One" (aka: #3) but we love him and our family wouldn't be the same without him. Definitely never a dull moment when he is awake. :) Love you buddy!!

Oh Christmas Tree...

OK, really... we decorated the tree at the first of December but I never got any pictures up, so here it is. We started a tradition last year of the first weekend that the tree is decorated, we watch the Polar Express with hot chocolate and popcorn and then the boys sleep out by the tree. They have loved it! Although this year we watched White Christmas instead because we had already seen Polar Express this Christmas season. I didn't know how they would like White Christmas - but they loved it! It is my favorite Christmas movie - definitately! Love it!

A Quick Christmas Trip...

December 1, 2008

Well, we decided to suprise the boys and go on a little Christmas trip. We didn't tell them until the afternoon we left, where we were going and they were just dying to know. We went to Salt Lake to see the lights on Temple Square - they loved that. When we got to the hotel, the boys were all ready for bed and Logan was just sitting there and then said, "OK, I go home now." It took a little convincing but he finally decided that it was OK to sleep in the hotel room rather than in his bed at home.

The next morning we went to the Childrens Museum at the Gateway Mall - the Discovery Center. The boys had sooooo much FUN! We were there for 3 1/2 hours and I think they could of stayed even longer but we were all getting hungry.

Then we went to Heber City to ride on the Polar Express (aka: the Heber Creeper) to the North Pole! The boys were so excited. On the way through Park City it started to snow a little and it just added to the moment. They even wore their pajamas on the train. When we got to the train station we could see them loading the hot chocolate and cookies onto the train. We boarded and the train took off - well, I should say, crept along at a steady pace of 10 mph. The boys loved it though - they had hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, sang Christmas Carols, read the story of the Polar Express, got a recipe from Mrs. Claus, talked to the elves about what they wanted for Christmas and then on the way back to the station Santa Claus came on our train car and gave each of the children a silver bell. The boys had so much fun!

The Wait Is Over...

We're having a ....... BOY!!!!! Yep, another boy! Here is a little picture of him during the ultra sound - he looks like he is waving "hi". Pretty cute!
