Jedi Training - 2011

2011-04-04T13:38:00.000-07:00

Here are the pics from Jedi Training Camp at Disneyland. It was so much fun!! Grandma even bought him the official Jedi Training t-shirt so with that and his certificate in hand it is official we are living with a true Jedi!!!

We were talking last night and we are already ready to go back. Disneyland is for sure the happiest place on earth!

Disneyland 2011

2011-03-15T14:22:00.000-07:00

Disneyland was amazing! I could have stayed forever and loved every minute. We stayed for 5 days this time, the right amount in my opinion. We met family there and the kids had a ball playing with their cousins and it also made it possible for Rob and I to have several "mini dates", yes that's what we called them as we strolled off hand in hand. CHEESE. :) Chase enjoyed his first trip to Disneyland, he loved to watch the people and his favorite ride had to be Pirates or maybe Small World. He was an angel from sun up to sun down, really a good kid considering he is only 10 months old. Logan was an absolute delight to watch. He wanted to go on every ride and wasn't scared of anything except the Tower of Terror. He went on it, mostly to impress his cousins I think, afterwards he said, 'Mom, that was a little scary! I won't go on that ever again even if there is apple juice (his most fav). It was so adorable. He love the Buzz ride and Big Thunder Mountain. I couldn't believe he went on Space Mountain but he did and was so brave, love that kid!!! Logan also got to do Jedi Training Academy where he battled Darth Vadar it was priceless and worth every penny!! Grandma got him an official Jedi Training shirt only for true Jedi's of course. ;) The wonder of color show in the evening was unbelievable and one of the most amazing things Rob and I have ever seen....I tell you Disney is MAGIC, they know how to do it right! Now that we are back we are wondering when we will go again, my vote is next week. Hehheeee

Fire 101

2010-12-16T21:14:00.000-08:00

Logan and Chase visited their Uncle Jay at the Smithfield Fire Station and had the VIP treatment! They had so much fun checking out the different firetrucks and ambulances. He even got to toot the horn, he sure thought he was the cat's meow! Logan has been wearing his fire hat ever since our visit and will be taking it to show and tell at Preschool!! Thanks so much Uncle Jay for a great time!!

Rough go....

2010-11-06T23:27:00.000-07:00

Today we attempted family pics. I can honestly say it was not our best attempt. As you can see we didn't get a family pic and were lucky to get what we did get. Logan was a little grouchy (mom was too) and Chase kept spitting up all over his clothes. Geez people can someone just throw me a friggin' bone?! We still got some descent pics but nothing grand. We will have to try again to get the family pic, I guess it would help if Rob wasn't taking the picture and trying to be in the picture all at the same time. All in all I think we have some pretty cute little dudes! They are so much fun and I adore them.

Clippin the coupons....

2010-11-06T22:28:00.000-07:00

So I used coupons for the first time today. It was totally cool to see the bill and then start watching all of the savings come off. I saved $75 and it was such a rush!! I don't think I have ever seen my grocery cart so full of food. I was so excited with my savings I literally had a little skip in my step while heading out to the car. When I got home I told Rob we can't put any of it away until we take it out of bags and look at it all!!! Seriously it was so much fun!! I got 3 free toothbrushes. I bought 3 deodorants on sale and with a coupon got 3 bottles of Olay body wash completely free!!! Olay body wash is $5.50 a bottle, I know I am awesome! :) Who knew you could actually save money and have it be so much fun. Hopefully I will get better at it, I told the check out lady that I was new to coupon'ing as if she needed me to tell her. It totally showed, I would hand her a printed out coupon with one coupon on the entire sheet. I said, I will trim those down next time. As I left she said, not bad for a newbie. I agree it felt pretty good to save so much money and have a trunk full food and goodies!! I will for sure be clippin the coupons again next week! :)

I love our little family

2010-11-02T08:20:00.000-07:00

I love our little family!! Every morning Logan comes into my bedroom and jumps into bed with me and says, 'I love you mommy'. Melts my heart. Both he and Chase are such sweeties. Recently my mom bought new Cars legos it is pretty cool, has Mack, Lightening, etc. My mom told Logan he could borrow it for a while but that it was a toy that was going to stay at Grandma's house so he could have something to play when he goes. Logan says, 'here's the deal grandma, you can have my Thomas the tank legos and I will have your cars legos' . Yah, that sounds good he says. Totally bargaining, what a kid!!!

Rob and I had the kids in bed and we were watching tv last night. There was a mother in the show and she was appologizing to her daughter and giving her a hug and I just started tearing up. I told Rob, 'the older I get the softer I become'. I know what you are thinking, not soft that way...ok maybe that way too. :) Seriously, I could cry at the simplest thing. I think it is life experience that does it to you. Once you have kids and you go through losing loved ones you start to realize just how fragile life is. What a clich'e I know but it is true. So my thought today is just how much I love my little family. I have a wonderful husband who I adore and funny and adorable children. I am SO blessed!

Halloween Parade

2010-10-31T22:30:00.000-07:00

Preschool Parade

Logan had so much fun at the preschool parade!! He dressed up as Thomas the tank engine this year and was completely adorable!!!You'll notice that he is ahead of the pack and neither feet are touching the ground!

Chase dressed up as a zebra, he was adorable. They went trick or treating at my work this year, then in the neighborhood...they had so much fun!! I just love these little guys!!!

Opposing Team Distractions

2010-10-22T14:30:00.000-07:00

Name - Logan Robert Wright
Skill - Opposing Team Distractions

Logan had just finished up a rather exciting season of Soccer. He was such a delight to watch. Every time he even kicked the ball he would give thumbs up to us and make sure to tell his coach that he kicked it. I am sure she was like....uhm, I know now keep playing :) It was a lot of fun. I think one of his key strategies, since he wasn't necessarily rocking the scoreboard, was opposing team distractions. Check the picture out and you can see him 'flying' around the field. He would have several of the other team's players joining him in the fun, all the while our team was able to score points. I say use what you got baby!!! Work it.

Feeling FANTASTIC!!!

2010-10-22T13:46:00.000-07:00

I am feeling pretty fantastic right now. The other day my sister Heather and I were shopping for some Halloween stuff. Logan and Chase were with us and like normal Logan is dragging Heather off to show her something. Well while this is happening this lady comes up to me and says, 'would your mother like one of these rings?' I said, you mean my sister??? I was totally laughing by this point and she is just mortified. Oooh she says, I must not have had a good look at her, I am so sorry. I said what are you sorry for that is hilarious!!!! She said, please don't tell her...I said oh I have to tell her this is too funny. As she is pleading with me Heather walks up and finds out that this lady thinks she is my mother. Heather and I are literally peeing our pants and this lady wants to crawl under a rock. Heather thinks it is because she was loving my kids and 'mothering' them, no pun intended. heheheeee Whatever the reason I was feeling pretty good about myself. We laughed some more and then told the lady who was still apologizing that it was fine that we would never see her again anyway. Well the next stop, who do we see??? Yep this lady so we all had another laugh at my sisters expense. If you know my sister she is beautiful and just adorable in every way so there is no reason not to absolutely get a big chuckle out of this event. Just thought I would share.
If any of you see my sister make sure to tell her you heard she was my mother!!!

Soccer 2010

2010-09-23T11:08:00.000-07:00

Logan is finally old enough to be on the city soccer team. He loves it, mostly I think he just loves the other kids. Logan does spend a fair amount of time running around the field with his arms stretched out like an airplane but I figure he is having fun. A few games ago the refs decided that it was "ok" to have 18, yes 18, 4 year olds running around together. Not such a good idea Logan got, as he put it, a huge "OOOS egg". It was a huge goose egg, the poor little guy. So to say the least he is not a fan of the pushing and shoving part of soccer so at times I find him just "doing his own thing" Love that kid, he is such a delight!!!

Fun with the Clark's

2010-09-21T13:19:00.000-07:00

We have had a lot of fun with the Clark's this summer, however when I say 'a lot' what I really mean to say is we had fun with the Clark's but it is never enough. Logan loves to play with Emilyn and Jenna, ride bikes and jump on the trampoline. I figure Logan needs a sister and the Emilyn and Jenna need a brother so it works out perfectly! :)

In August Thanksgiving point does their 2Buck Tuesdays Logan and I can go to the dino museum for $4 rather than $18. So to say the least I make the effort to go during August. However Jodell and I chose the Tuesday before school started.....Ca....RAZY!! The line was literally around the building. All to save a few bucks, I think we are nuts. We stuck it out and once we were inside it wasn't too bad. The place is gigantic so it didn't matter too much. My favorite pic is of the kids running from the shark, you should have seen them. Can anyone say, "DRAMA". It was great fun.

Next Jodell had some of her horses brought down for the summer and Logan got to ride the horses, bareback even!!! It was a lot of fun, stinky but fun! I know what you are thinking.....you grew up in Cornish, all I can say is I have become a city (well if you can call Saratoga a city) girl.

On another random topic the other day we were at Home Depot and there was an amazing rainbow in the sky and Logan said look mom, 'Jesus painted a beautiful rainbow for us'. That boy melts my heart, not sure what I would do without his adorable personality. His new favorite song is I hope they call me on a mission, with which he proceeds to sing really loud in certain areas, he is such a primary boy these days!!! Love him!

FUN in Ferron Utah!!

2010-09-14T15:36:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun this weekend in Ferron! For those of you who don't know where Ferron is it is south of Price. They celebrated Peach Days this weekend and there was fireworks, a parade and even a demolition derby!! I know right a demolition derby! :) Seriously not sure when the last time I went to one of those....what an adventure and such good people watching if you are a fan of the people watching and you know I am!!!! The kids had such a good time, even Chase was pretty good for his first camping trip! It was Rob's birthday and I was thinking I would just grab a cake from the grocery store in Ferron, uhm no go so you can see we had ding dongs instead. At least it is memorable, right? I was so glad to have the new trailer with a perfectly working heater. The first night was pretty chilly.

Cereal for Chase!

2010-09-09T19:55:00.000-07:00

Chase didn't LOVE his cereal. It is so funny watching them take those first few bites of cereal. The funny faces and tongue gag, I really enjoy it.....He is getting to be such a big boy. 4 months old, where does time go???

First day at preschool!!!

2010-09-09T19:00:00.000-07:00

Logan started preschool today.......finally!!! He has been talking about it forever, carrying his backpack around and asking when over and over. He was so darn cute today, it was fun to see how grown up he is. While some kids are crying for mommy not to leave Logan is like thanks mom, see you later! :) Proud mom watching him today.

Getting ready for camping....I guess?!?!?!

2010-09-07T10:14:00.000-07:00

Why do kids love tents so much??? Logan must be gearing up for our campout this weekend. Lucky for me we will be in a camper not in a tent....I'm getting old and need a somewhat real bed. heheheeee

Ok, so speaking of camping has anyone seen those huge marshmellows? They are like the size of a softball, they are gigantic!!! I need to get some just for fun but I can't imagine that you could make it into a smore without it becoming one ginourmous mess!!! Let me know if you have tried them. :)

Smiley-guy!

2010-09-07T08:49:00.000-07:00

Chase is such a happy guy!! He is in love with this stuffed tiger, he just talks to it and smiles. It is so dreamy!! Logan never liked stuffed animals much so it is fun to see different personalities.

We had a busy weekend working on the basement. My neice Kayley is living with us so we are trying to get her some of her "own" realestate downstairs. Logan got a board to the nose this weekend, poor guy. My dad didn't realize he was behind him and Wham! Good thing he had his hard hat on :) He thinks the tools are pretty cool, I think they are loud!

Logan starts preschool this week and is beyond excited, he keeps telling me, 'mom I am SSOOOOO excited' with that adorable squeel. He has been working on his "homework" everyday in preparation for school to start. His homework consists of nickjr.com, playhousedisney.com and starfall.com. He takes it very seriously....that kid cracks me up!

We have been getting ready for our camping trip this weekend, we are going to Millsite which is down by Ferrin. It is Peach Days and so it should be oodles of fun!!! We are going in the new camper and I am super excited!!! I hope Chase likes the camping scene or it might not be so nice. Logan of course loves it. Rob and I need to get away, it has been a hard and long year!

Where does the time go?!??!?!

2010-08-19T21:46:00.000-07:00

Well it has been over a year since I last posted anything. It has been a difficult and a wonderful year all rolled into one. We had a death and a birth in the family, bitter and sweet. In September we found out that Rob's dad had cancer, lymphoma. We started treatments at Huntsman things were going very well. If you knew Rob's dad you know what a fighter/amazing man he was. Somehow he got an infection and it went down hill from there. We moved him from hospital to hospital, nursing home to finally hospice at home. Clyde passed away December 15, 2009. It has been such a hard year, especially for my sweet husband. Rob and Clyde were best friends, they did everything together. We all sort of feel cheated! We are so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that we will all be together again someday but right now we are struggling through the loss of an amazing (amazing doesn't even begin to cover it) man. July of last year we started the invitro process for the 4th time and happily we found out in August that we would be having a baby in May. We were so excited and thankful for all of the many prayers on our behalf. What a blessing these little ones are. On May 9, 2010 (mother's day) we were blessed with another little boy, Chase Clyde Wright. 6lb13 oz and 19.5' long. The best mother's day gift ever!!! :) 2 little boys we couldn't be more thrilled! Logan is so excited to have a little brother, though I think he thought Chase would come out running and ready to play trains, batman and more! We have had so much fun this summer, it is going to take me the next several months to try and catch up on everything.

Red Sox

2009-05-24T10:19:00.000-07:00

On my last trip to Boston I was planning to get Logan a ball cap and shirt but of course I was running to the airport and wasn't able to grab anything. I had mentioned it to my boss that I was planning to get Logan something and low and behold a few days later this adorable had and shirt show up in the mail!! What a great boss I have!

My niece and nephew play baseball, Ryan plays on 2 teams, Abby plays and Ginn (heather's husband) coaches both Abby, Ryan and plays on his own team. So to say the least Logan will have plenty of places to show off his baseball shirt!! We will be spending quite a few days at the ballpark this summer.

Cade's Birthday Party

2009-04-18T21:44:00.000-07:00

Logan went to his first official friend birthday party today! I was a little worried that he might not be so 'hip' on giving the gift of tonka trucks to his little friend but all went well and he had a great time. They had a little bouncy castle outside and since it was next door I was able to sneak a peak every so often! He is getting so big I can hardly believe it....where does the time go?!

Peep toe pumps anyone??

2009-03-25T21:48:00.000-07:00

How adorable is Logan in my pumps? He loves to walk around in our shoes however the peep toe pumps where the best! He is pretty skilled in those pumps...hope that doesn't mean anything. Hehehee

Disneyland 09

2009-03-21T23:35:00.000-07:00

Disneyland was so amazing!! My sister and her 2 girls came with us....and yes we are all still friends. So many good laughs and memories made. Logan had the time of his life. We ran non stop, we need a vacation to recoup from our vacation!! We went on Splash mountain so many times, I forgot how fun that ride is. The Tower of Terror is as awesome as always! We went on rides we didn't even know existed. Disneyland is totally different when you are with kids. Rob and I have been several times w/o kids so of course we don't hang out in Toon Town or in A Bugs Life/World....which is totally adorable by the way. We are already ready to go back it was really so much fun!

Spring is in the air...

2009-03-11T22:16:00.000-07:00

So my tulips are peeking through the dirt. I couldn't be more excited!!! There is nothing like the tulips popping up after a long cold winter. I can hardly wait to see them. Last fall I went to Costco and bought a big bag of bulbs and thought oh I will share these with someone they are such a good deal I must get the entire bag. Well I planted them all in my front yard so....fingers crossed they will all bloom and be beautiful!!!

So 2 days ago, the day it snowed our furnace stopped working. Talk about a cold night. We kept putting more and more blankets on Logan and I wore a snowsuit to bed....I am such a wimp when it comes to the cold. You would think I grew up in Texas not Freezing cold Cornish, UT. BRRrrrr

While in Target today I found these spiderman floaties. Logan went nuts over them so we put them on the "have to have" list for our trip to Cali/Disneyland next week. I didn't think that he would spend the rest of the day and evening wearing them. He was so dang cute running around like he was a true super hero!

Santa the Conductor!

2009-03-07T20:33:00.000-08:00

Logan kept calling the conductor Ho Ho....it was so funny! Click for a good laugh.

Conductor Logan at Union Station

2009-03-07T20:00:00.000-08:00

We went to Union Station in Ogden today. It was a beautiful day but it wasn't exactly warm. We were there for the train show, it was a lot of fun!! Logan was going crazy over all of the model trains. There were a lot of real trains that Logan was able to be a little conductor on too. I think the best part of the day was when we road the Jupiter train the conductor had white hair and a long white beard and Logan looked at him and said Ho Ho. He thought it was Santa!! He kept saying it over and over....Rob and I along with a few others sitting next to us were cracking up!
He really did look a little like Santa!!!

Logan the Lion

2009-03-03T00:01:00.000-08:00

Logan is the cutest darn lion! He snuggles in his little lion towel after a bath and I think my favorite part is when he starts running away and his cute little cheeks jiggle!! I sure missed him while I was away!

Last week I was in Boston so Rob and I went and bought video cams. They are the best, it made our week go by so much better. I was able to say goodnight to Logan every night which was priceless!! Rob is in Portland this week so we will again be doing the bedtime rituals via the web cam. I think it helps Logan deal with out daddy for a few days.

A little crowded....

2009-02-09T21:31:00.000-08:00

When I went to tuck Logan in for bed I noticed that Daddy had filled up his bed with trains and the entire train track.......seriously there was no room for anything else. I started laughing because not only is our kid getting way too huge for a crib but add in a few train sets and vuala you have got one CROWDED little bed.

He really is adorable....even if he is spoiled! :)

Creating a MONSTER!!!

2009-02-04T16:03:00.001-08:00

So not sure how many of you feel about spoiling your kids but....I am afraid I am creating a monster. Granted, Logan is an only child and who knows how long this will be the case. He is the light of our lives and so we love to see him smile, laugh and just be dang dreamy! Well, recently when I have told him no, he has an absolute fit. Obviously, I haven't said NO enough because it sends him into a complete and udder tantrum!!!! I try to remember that I am the adult and that it is completely unacceptable to throw myself down on the ground and kick and scream with him. Although today this is exactly what I wanted to do.

Maybe I will just have a yard sale and get rid of all his toys until I can learn not to spoil him and he can learn to appreciate them. I know what you are thinking.....this is no ones fault except my own. I GET IT....I just don't know what to do. I think a bubble bath will make it all go away, maybe not but it will be the alone time I need to sort this mess out. Look out teen years if I am already having this sort of melt down.

Good times with the UTAH JAZZ!!

2009-01-31T22:57:00.000-08:00

So my friend Mishell had tickets for the Jazz game last night! We were actually in the lower bowl, which never happens for me. I usually end up in the rafters so it was nice to actually see the players. The real entertainment was the crazy fans.....take a look!!

The one guy kept doing the robot and some other really "fancy" moves!! GO FIGHT WIN!!!!

Dino-Museum!!

2009-01-31T22:08:00.000-08:00

Playgroup this week was at the Dinosaur Museum!! The kids had a great time and the ladies and I got to chat and catch....mission accomplished. Of course I wasn't able to leave w/o a dinosaur for Logan to play with. He is really getting into them, nice change from the trains, bob the builder and Cars he has been into.

They speak English in England?!?! Who Knew?...

2009-01-20T22:19:00.000-08:00

Can you say DUH!

So, I served my mission in England and was reading one of my favorite companions blog and saw this. I thought you would get a kick out of it. Enjoy!

Walmart Wackiness

I went to Walmart today to pick up some things and as I was waiting for my goods to be rung up I had the following conversation with the Cashier, a twenty-something woman:

Cashier: Where are you from you have an accent?
Me: England
Cashier: I should've guessed
Me: Well, sometimes people think I'm from Australia
Cashier: How long have you lived here?
Me: About 3 years
...... about 30 seconds passes by.......
Cashier: You speak English very well, did you learn it over here?
...... she says this with a straight face, no hint of sarcasm whatsoever......
Me: Pardon????????????
Cashier: Did you have to learn English when you came here?
Me: Umm, no, I've been speaking it since I was born, England is where English originated and the language we speak there.
Cashier: Oh, I never knew that, we didn't learn anything about England in school.

Diet tips......as if?!?!?!

2008-12-29T20:13:00.001-08:00

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS

1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door where they're serving rum balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare... You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a
slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one
Pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?

9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.

10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.

Remember this motto to live by:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave
with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand,
body thoroughly used up,
totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Have a great holiday season!!

Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-18T23:36:00.000-08:00

Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season!
Much Love
Kim, Rob and Logan

San Fran

2008-12-17T22:40:00.000-08:00

I love to visit San Francisco!! It was perfect weather and entertaining evenings. I had team meetings last week and then was able to enjoy a little of the city. The first night we were out and about we were looking for something to eat and came across this little pizza place. A whole in the wall but pretty tasty actually. As we get our food we hear this screaming and yelling outside. We go out and see this guy yelling at what we assume is his girlfriend. They are fighting and he is all up in her face and won't let her leave. I tell Keith, my 6'3 collegue, that we should help her out. Second thought we don't know the situation, drugs a gun....who knows so we watch it play out for a bit. Keith is standing on the street with salad in hand and eating. I look over and say, Keith - this is not a dinner and a movie. It was seriously so funny to see him just eating and watching like HEY what else do you expect in SF?!?!?!

Good times for sure!

Teatro Zinzani - This is a dinner and a show unlike the one mentioned above. It is an audience participation type show and was so dang funny!! Should be for the price, dang! Haven't laughed this hard in a while. As you can see we got all the bling needed to PARTICIPATE. It isn't possible to be embarrassed because you look at the next table and they look just as silly or even more so. The face painting was a nice touch too.

Halloween Hoedown

2008-11-10T10:19:00.000-08:00

Yee-haw! Hope you all had a happy Halloween! Logan went trick or treating at my work and was pretty much done trick or treating by the time we tried to hit our neighborhood. He was getting the hang of picking out his treat and putting it in his bucket. However once the kids starting coming to our house he would check out their bucket o'treats and select one of their treats as his own. He didn't quite get the idea that sometimes you take and other times you give! It was really dreamy actually. Everytime the doorbell rang he would bolt to the door squeeling!! I think he actually had more fun seeing all the kids in their costumes and taking THEIR candy than anything else!

It was a great Halloween!

Twilight......

Ok, so I have had several of you ask why I haven't been updating my blog or doing anything on my facebook account. I thought about it for a minute and was like well.....lets see. Then finally I realized that the last time I updated was over a month ago. Hhhmmm, about the time I started reading Twilight the first book in the series. Well that explains it.

Well I have to admit that I have been addicted to the dang Twilight series. Seriously, I am on book 4, Breaking Dawn, and will be returning to the real world very shortly. These books have been so good. Now I am just waiting to see the movie that comes out this month!

Happy Anniversary Rob!!

2008-09-19T11:24:00.000-07:00

Rob and I are celebrating our 6 year anniversary today. It has gone by so fast and has been the best 6 years of my life!! I tell everyone all the time that Rob is my better half and I mean it 100%. He was worth the wait. I was telling a friend that Rob was 27 and I was 26 (you do the math) when we got married and she said 'uhm, oh' she was so shocked that we were "so old"....as if?!?!???! I wouldn't change a thing about my single days and the good times I had. Then finally finding my soul mate and being completely ready in every way to tie the knot! To tell you the truth I think 26 is the perfect age to get married, it was enough time for me to grow up, get to travel, shop my guts out and PLENTY of time to be a little selfish....we all know that that goes away quickly when you get married and even more once you have children. We have a beautiful son who is the apple of our eye! We adore him in every way!!! Thanks for being a good daddy Rob!

Well, enough of that. Happy Anniversary Rob!!! Here is to 6 happy years and many more to come.

They speak English in England?!?! Who Knew....

2008-09-10T21:28:00.000-07:00

Can you say DUH!

So, I served my mission in England and was reading one of my favorite companions blog and saw this. I thought you would get a kick out of it. Enjoy!

Family day at the Heber Creeper!

Daddy and Logan

Logan saying "choo-choo"

On Labor Day we took Logan to the Heber Creeper. I think he was more impressed with the oodles and oodles of Thomas the Train items in the gift shop than anything. Of course Logan went home with a new train set courtesy of Grams and Gramps!!

I couldn't resist them....

2008-08-25T20:31:00.002-07:00

Ok, so they did pictures at Logan's school and when I saw them I was totally hooked. I just couldn't say no! I basically took out the checkbook and said how much? The outfits are so darn dreamy. I don't think they caught his personality too much but they are really sweet all the same.

The Queen

2008-08-19T12:46:00.001-07:00

Ok, so we had a graduation celebration for Mari today at the PF Changs. It was really yummy and of course we ordered way too much food, not to mention that massive wall of chocolate! But all this pales in comparison to the celebrity in the house. I asked the waiter if he realized that there was a celebrity in the house, he said no so I told him 2 tables over was the Queen of England. See for yourself......

Here is a picture of the girls at PF Changs. Mari just graduated from BYU....Congrats Mari! You can't see it but Carey has the "wall of chocolate" in her hands. I am sure she is trying to sneak it home with her. Better her than me I guess, I do not need that sitting around calling my name.

More Belinda

2008-08-14T21:36:00.000-07:00

Go Belinda! We really had a great time, nothing like jammin' to the 80's, right Mishell??! :) Hope you all like this video of Belinda because it has taken me all night to load the freakin' thing. :)

Long Live The 80's.....this one's for you Mishell

2008-08-14T21:24:00.000-07:00

So Rob and I went to the Regeneration Tour with Justin and Steph last week. It was held at the Depot located at the Gateway. We rocked out to Belinda Carlisle, Human League and ABC, it was awesome!! We were literally 20 feet from the stage! I couldn't believe that I could sing every song that Belinda sang, including the Go Go ones she sang. Not sure that admiting that is very cool of me but oh well. :)

********If you want a good story ask me about the random guy "framing" my face!!! Can you say crazy?!?!?!************

My Garden

2008-08-05T21:09:00.000-07:00

I was able to get my garden in this year. It definitely isn't big enough but it will do this year. Next year Rob will have to build me some more planters. My tomatoes are growing like gang busters! I have a handful of pumpkins growing and my peppers are ready to pick. I've decided that gardening is a great "out" for me. My flower garden is also looking rather nice. I may have gone overboard on the Russian Sage, I planted 4 in the back yard since we can't afford a fence I thought this might be a nice boundary between our neighbors and us. My plan is to plant bulbs in the fall so I have nice spring flowers. I didn't do this last year and I was so envious of those that did. It sure makes your garden come alive after a cold winter.

Still waiting on the corn but it should be any day now.

My flower garden is looking really good right now! I decided to have a purple pink and blue color scheme this year. Well wouldn't you know it my marigolds, my orange marigolds, came popping back up and I mean like crazy so there went my whole color scheme right out the window. It still looks really nice but not what I was going for.

Farm Country

2008-08-05T21:01:00.000-07:00

We decided to put on our cowboy boots and head over to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. Logan liked it a lot more this year than last year. He actually let the goats eat out of his hand. Uhm, eeeeew, kind of gross and slimy If I am being honest. I think that his favorite part of his "country" experience was the wagon ride. The clydesdales were so awesome!

My two guys.....

2008-08-03T21:35:00.000-07:00

Aren't they Cute? We are for sure going to head up to the falls again, it was so much fun!! We planned on taking the boat out but couldn't find the key to unlock the hitch lock so this was the next best option. I actually think it was a perfect day!

FEET!!

Checking out the falls

2008-08-03T21:26:00.000-07:00

Logan loved the waterfalls! They were so beautiful. Rob and Logan took of their shoes and took a little dip. The water was pretty cold though. Logan was grinning from ear to ear the entire time!

Washington Lake

2008-08-03T21:17:00.000-07:00

We took Logan up to Washington Lake and checked out the waterfalls and the lake. It was great to get up to the mountains where it was nice and cool.

Quack Quack Quack

2008-07-27T22:27:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I didn't really know that I was afraid of ducks but the ducks we fed the other day were super aggressive. They almost ate Logan and if I were smaller they may have attempted to eat me!! It all started sweet, we threw a few pieces into the water and they were eating and sharing. Then more and more kept coming and soon they were surrounding us on every side! I had to act cool so I didn't scare Logan but anyone in their right mind could see that I was a bit frightened by the "love" shown by our new duck friends.

Logan is TWO!

2008-07-27T21:53:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it! 2 Years have flown by so quickly. It has been the best 2 years for Rob and I. we have enjoyed every little moment with our special guy!

We had a swim party for Logan's birthday which was centered around KUNG FU PANDA! It was really cute and since it is his favorite movie we had to have the cake and all the goodies to go along with it.

He was really spoiled by Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Cousins and not to mention US!! We figure we are only going to have a few kids so let's spoil them rotten. Hopefully not too Rotten. :)

Happy Birthday Logan! Mom and Dad love you!!!

Parade Time!

2008-07-24T22:01:00.001-07:00

Logan's favorite part of the parade was most likely the clown on stilts. This clown had some major skills.... he started to jump rope. With the stilts he was about 10 feet tall. It was super amazing! Of course anything with music made Logan get his 'groove' on! He is really cute when he dances.

Parades, Parties and Fireworks!!

2008-07-24T21:39:00.000-07:00

We had a great 4th of July this year. We went to the Murray parade, man I can't believe the amount of candy they throw out!! Seriously there was so much just sitting around that no one picked up because they already had too much. Then we went to a pool party and bbq at Aunt Joan's. It was a lot of fun! Then we came home and cleaned up and then left for fireworks at Thanksgiving point. We actually sat just outside at a park which was perfect for Logan to play and keep entertained until the big show. Logan really liked the fireworks this year! Thanksgiving point sure put on a good show.

Lagoon Day!

2008-06-11T21:45:00.000-07:00

So every year my dad gets tickets to Lagoon for being the big time Mayor of Cornish. The family always puts the tickets to good use. I have to say that it wasn't one of our better trips to Lagoon. Rob just started a new job and had a meeting he couldn't miss so he couldn't come until after work. Instead of driving he thought he would jump on the ever so 'convenient' Front Runner (train) that goes takes you to Davis County and supposedly Lagoon. 3 hours later and a trek across the freeway on a dirt road Rob finally arrived at 8:30 pm. Poor guy!!! Logan wasn't a big fan of the rides unless I could go on it with him so we went on the train and the tiki ride that is like the Tidal Wave. We had to put Logan's little backpack/leash on him or we would have lost him in 2 seconds flat. He seemed to really like the Lagoon games ( I wonder if we have a "carny lover" on our hands....hhmmmm ) He played a little Whack a Mole and baseball. He took the baseball and threw it into the crowd, lucky for all of us that he didn't hit someone. I must admit it was a little funny!! Stephen and Alex, Rob's nephew's, stayed late with us and watched Logan so Rob and I could go on some rides!! I do love that Spider ride. Unfortunately the line for Wicked was too long so no go this year. Although my dad went on it and I would have loved to see that!!!

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

2008-06-11T21:31:00.000-07:00

Logan went sledding with his cousins, we have had so much snow this year it is insane! Logan looks really cute in his snow 'duds'. Our neighbor Lance has been building up a huge mountain in his yard, it is quite the sledding hill. It launches you pretty good, Logan was like the energizer bunny on this thing.

Swim Day with Ellie

2008-06-11T21:21:00.000-07:00

Ellie and Logan played in the pool, it was a bit chilly but they had a good time! They were really cute!! Even I joined in the fun and got wet, maybe not by choice. :)

Bear World

2008-06-11T21:08:00.000-07:00

We went to Yellowstone over Memorial Day. It was a lot of fun! On our way up we stopped at Bear World just outside Rexburg. Bear World is really cool but the price has gone up so much that I am not sure we will go back. The little cubs are so darn adorable!! Logan sure had fun checking out all the animals.

The Game Plan....

2008-05-04T21:29:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I just tracked my new exercise route around my neighborhood. It is 2 miles and is full of hills...yippee! Pushing Logan (uhm, 35 pounds plus stroller, dang) It has hills, horses and a pretty view of the lake and Mountains. What's not to love about it?? Hopefully I will love it soon. Right now I am trying to jazz myself up to loving it. You can check it out HERE. If you click on the Satellite view it is cool. I figure if I put this on my blog you may ask me how my new exercise goals are coming. I could use the encouragement obviously! :) I told Kelly to call me and tell me to get my booty out there and exercise so feel free to "cheer" or nudge me on. Also, let me know if you are finding success in losing weight, I am a good cheerleader w/o the short skirt of course.

Rob asked me what I wanted for Mothers Day and I told him I wanted a jogging stroller so we will see what happens but I am hoping I get it. I figure if we spend the money on the jogger I will HAVE TO use it, right?!?!??!

Na na na na na na na BATMAN!

2008-04-30T21:56:00.000-07:00

Logan has new jammies and a new six pack! The jammies come complete with a cape and big time muscles!! He looked so adorable in them. Too bad he doesn't even know who Batman is, there is always time to educate him later.

Daddy's little helper

2008-04-30T20:56:00.001-07:00

Save as Draft

Logan and daddy did a little gardening yesterday. Since the big shovel was a bit much for Logan to handle we got him the hand shovel and let him go to town. I am not sure how much work got done but they had a good time!

Me and my shadow

2008-04-25T12:05:00.000-07:00

Logan and I went for a walk today and Logan "found" his shadow. He started dancing and moving around, he got such a kick out of watching his shadow. I tried to explain that we could keep walking because his shadow would follow us. It was just dreamy!!! I love being his mommy.

Ride'em Cowboy

2008-04-21T21:29:00.000-07:00

Grandma Wright bought Logan a new cowboy shirt the other day. It is a cowboy in full attire and it comes right up to the neck and Logan’s head is the head of the cowboy. So it totally looks like a bobble-head. It is really cute! We all got a kick out of it. PICTURE TO COME.

I guess it's time.....

2008-04-21T21:00:00.001-07:00

Well, I guess I better start updating this blog. As you can see it has literally been years since we have done anything with it. I had a friend in England ask about my blog and I was a little embarrassed to even tell her that nothing has changed and oh, by the way don't bother visiting just yet.

So last week Logan and I were hanging out on the deck when Logan went back inside I wasn't too concerned until he didn't come back out, seems he had locked the door. So here I am out on the deck with no stairs down and on the second story so jumping wasn't really an option. Luckily I had my cell phone in my pocket and I called my neighbor Janalee to come over and help. I gave her my garage code and told her to come in the house and free me. Lucky for us I had my cell phone handy and a willing neighbor to bail me out. To say the least a hide a key made it to the top of the to do list pretty quickly!

Merry Christmas

2005-12-27T20:44:00.000-08:00

He has his Dads moves!

2005-12-11T08:12:00.000-08:00

Well, We had aother ultrasound on Friday. This time we could hear the heart beat, and we could see it move. It was really dancing around. It has it's Daddys Mooves. We are really excited and we feel really blessed. Thanks again for all the help, We know it is through your faith and prayers we have this blessing!
