snow much fun

last week dan, logan, and i went to mt. lemmon to play in the snow! after driving up the mountain we went to ski valley but it was closed and there weren't any good places to go sledding. when we went to summerhaven we found the perfect hill with lots of snow. dan and logan went sledding down the hill and logan didn't seem to mind it!

dan had a slight rollover at the bottom of the hill, but luckily logan wasn't with him. i had my try at sledding but i had a premature departure so unfortunately dan wasn't able to get any pictures.

after sledding we went to the cookie cabin and had a delicious chocolate chip cookie and some yummy hot chocolate! all in all, it was snow much fun!

holiday pictures

yesterday we made the journey to park place mall to get logan's pictures taken. the reason we went to park place mall was to go to the picture people. i don't always go to the picture people because they are kind of expensive, but i think they have better quality pictures then places like jc penny or sears, plus i had some coupons and got a good deal...if anyone knows of a semi-affordable photographer, let me know. anyway, back to the pictures, they turned out super cute. logan had his holiday outfit on, thanks grandma bonna, and he was adorable.

while we were at the mall we decided to have logan see santa since he was already dressed up. he loved santa and just wanted to look up at him and touch his beard. i know that logan has been an especially good boy and hopefully santa will get him just what he wants.

polar express

this last weekend dan, logan, and i made the trek to williams, az for the polar express. first we made a pit stop in mesa, az for cousin haley's 6th birthday party. happy birthday haley! then we made our way up to flagstaff where we drove straight to williams and met dan's family. we got a bite to eat at a mom and pop restaurant and then made our way to the train depot. logan was in his pajamas and all ready for the north pole. we boarded the train which was built in 1923 (or somewhere around there). on the train ride we had hot chocolate, cookies, and sang christmas carols as we waited for santa, just like in the book. we got to the north pole and saw santa waving from his sleigh. when santa came on the train logan gleefully took a jingle bell from him and put it straight in his mouth. what a treat!

the best invention ever

i discovered the flo at babies r us while looking at bathing accessories (however i ended up purchasing it at target because it is cheaper there.) it is the neatest device for bathing your child. it hooks onto the spout of your bathtub and not only protects your child's head from banging on the facet, it also deflects the water. it is perfect for rinsing your child's hair. logan is only 8 months old and it is so easy for him to use. i just lean him back in his baby bathtub and and rinse! it also has this cool contraption that you can fill with bubble bath and then you just push a button while the water is running and voila, bubbles! i would recommend this to everyone!

great grandma and grandpa

on saturday night logan had the unique opportunity to meet his great grandma and grandpa kimbell for the first time. i think they all enjoyed each other's company.


we were able to take a four generation picture; logan, his mom (me), his grandma, and his great grandma and grandpa. what a special treat!

kartchner caverns

last thursday and friday we went camping at kartchner caverns with noah and jeannette. we had a great time camping and the facilities were very nice. our festivities included games, s'mores, and of course, the cave tour. logan had an especially good time at about 1am when he thought it was play time! the scenery was very relaxing and the cave tour was amazing- i would recommend it to everyone. here are some pics of our trip:

halloween

logan was a lion for halloween. he seemed to like his costume pretty well but he did get all sweaty. logan was going to be a hot dog and we were going to dress up as chefs and be "the cooks" but our ward wasn't having a ward party and so we had no where to wear our costumes. since the hot dog costume had no legs and wasn't very practical i took back all our costumes and got logan this cute lion costume. to make a long story even longer, our ward decided to plan a last minute trunk or treat party, but it was too late, the hot dog costume was already returned. that's ok though, because i think that logan makes a pretty cute lion.

dan had a whole getup for handing out candy. he had his chair, logan, the dog, and the candy. he even had dinner out there while he was passing out candy.

we carved pumpkins with our friends noah and jeannette and jeannette's brother sean. i'd say that they turned out pretty frightening! they were so good that some trick or treaters thought that they were fake!
