all things smelly

dirty diapers (that's a given); throw-up consisting of a whole day's worth of consumption including peach yogurt with chunks, cheerios, formula, sweet potatoes, and more formula; and a who knows how old bottle found under the seat of the car...

congratulations dan

i just want to say congratulations to my amazing husband for getting a job at cottonwood. dan is currently doing an internship at a private in-patient treatment center and they offered him a part-time job (which will hopefully turn into a full-time job after graduation). he is sacrificing his fridays and saturdays and we are so proud of him. thanks for working so hard for our family!

growth spurt

need i say more?

merry christmas

it was very precious to celebrate logan's first christmas. obviously he didn't know what was going on but he liked ripping the wrapping paper off the gifts and playing with his new toys.

thank you to everyone who helped make it a great first christmas for him! he made christmas so special for us and we are very blessed to have him in our lives!

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!
