Payson Lakes

We went up to Payson Lakes for a couple of days in August. The lakes were so low- it was sad to see how bad the water levels are! But the boys had fun anyways.

Logan and Daddy- I am up on the trail. The lake is that low!

The boys

McKay leading Logan along- they take care of each other pretty good!

SMORES!!!

I think he likes it!

Little campers

Matt woke McKay up early and they went fishing one morning. McKay only has one volume when he talks so they are at the lake early in the morning with old fishermen and McKay is over there just a talking away (none too quietly). Then he catches a fish- escalate that voice a bit. Then Matt reels his line in and all their is is seaweed. McKay now is basically yelling, "I caught a fish and Daddy caught garbage! Heha! Daddy caught garbage!" I hope the old fishermen were entertained!

He loved his morning fishing trip!

and yes eventually Matt did catch a fish too. I love these guys!

Throwing rocks in the water- what my boys do best!

Saturday afternoon we were supposed to have a picnic reunion but just as everyone got up there and we started to eat a crazy lightening/thunder/hailstorm hit. We all ate as fast as we could and everyone packed up and left...but these guys weren't deterred a bit! They were in heaven. Cute cousins!

Random

I love those random moments that these boys just make me smile. Most of the time I laugh and move on but once in a while I make a run for the camera to catch them. For some reason we were on a sock kick for a while...

I walk out of the bathroom to find this- Logan with a pull-up on his head and my socks pulled all the way up his legs!

McKay fell asleep with Matt's socks on. I love the arms behind the head and sprawled out- he OWNS that bed!

Zoo Day!

We wanted to start a tradition to do some fun family activity for each of our birthdays. You know those things that we say would be fun to do but then never have a good excuse to plan and actually do them? So for McKay's we went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. For Matt's and mine we went to Peru (that was a little extreme, don't worry it won't happen again!) and for Logan's day we went to the zoo. Logan loves animals and can imitate any animal noise so we thought we would love it, right? Well not so much... We had his birthday party the night before so he went to bed later than usual and woke up early hungry (because he didn't eat at his party- too much going on). So obviously we started out on a bad foot. Logan clung to Matt the whole way through the zoo. He wouldn't let me touch him and refused to ride in the stroller. He really wasn't that into the animals either...I guess terrible twos hit right on time for his second birthday! Oh well, Matt, McKay, and I had a great time and Logan cried his way through it!

The eagle nest

This bear is a performer! McKay thought it was neat that the bear would give 5s.

The tigers (notice Matt & McKay smiling, Logan yawning- he was unimpressed)

Kind of a smile from the birthday boy

and then he had to get off the carousal!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Happy 2nd Birthday Logan! We had a family dinner and had a blast to celebrate. Logan is such a happy, independent little guy! He doesn't say much (or anything at all really...) but he gives the best hugs and smiles. His favorite thing is when Daddy gets home from work. He drops everything and runs to give his Dad and hug. He loves the sandbox, rocks, vroom-vrooms, trains (chugga-chuggas), music (especially the Star Wars theme song), pulling my hair, eating fruit, and riding the four-wheeler. We love him and are so glad he is part of our family.

The boys being boys- This is one place where it is actually Logan causing the trouble instead of McKay. Logan LOVES to dump sand on everyone's heads. He gets a shovel full, dumps it on McKay's head (or any head nearby) and squeals/shrieks with laughter. It is hard to get after him when he gets so excited about it! Good thing their hair is short and it brushes right out.
