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.

Logan's vroom-vroom cupcakes

Our water balloon fight - Matt tried to be mean and filled a few with shaving cream...

Watch out!

Loving it!

Grandma Margaret helping Logan pop balloons

Dog-pile on Amanda!

Opening presents with the cousins

I'm not sure if this is a headlock or a hug, but they were both smiling for a second...they are wrestling buddies

Make a wish Logan!

Don't bother taking bites, just shove the whole cupcake in your mouth!

Logan loves vroom-vrooms, so we got him a truck- he loves it!

He's off!

July

I seem to be getting really good at these monthly recaps...oh well.

This summer we have had a great garden!  We have put a LOT of time and sweat into it, but it is finally starting to pay off.  Here it is on the 24th of July (we know how to celebrate holidays...weed the garden)

 

Marisa and Adrian help out a lot and our the best weeders around

Matt and his wheelbarrow

Turn your head to see this cute boy-

We got sick of the house and the hot summer one afternoon so we headed up the canyon.  We stopped at Trumbolt and went on some little hikes and threw rocks in the water- it was a perfect cool, quiet getaway.

McKay showing Logan how to get in the water

The boys showing their muscles- they had to climb up on this rock and it was hard work (as McKay would say)

Logan showing off his silly face

McKay loves to climb and go on hikes

Grandma's Camp-

Every year my mother-in-law and her sisters host Grandma's Camp for all the grandkids.  This year's theme was Hawaiian and the boys had a fun evening.  They didn't stay overnight this year but they still had a lot of fun.

Logan found Uncle Keith's golf cart...that kid has serious issues when it comes to his vroom-vrooms!

McKay trying out the surfboard

Grandma's Camp!

Grandma Margaret, Anna, Kate, Daniel, McKay, Lizzie, & Logan

that was one good cupcake!

Summer Fun

Oh What do you do in the Summertime?

Well we mostly just play!  Here are some of my favorite summer moments.

McKay getting buried in the sandbox

Logan looking like a true little boy in his overalls

Making a river and a mud pit in the sandbox

Logan is CONSTANTLY on the four-wheeler...he is a little obsessed!

McKay loves bugs!  Well he loves to exterminate bugs- ants are his personal favorite but he takes quite pleasure in pulling Daddy LongLegs legs off too. 

Matt spends every spare moment working in the yard or garden

Out on the 4-wheeler

Playing at the park

Cheese

Grandpa Bill taking care of Logan

Don't smile McKay!  Playing at the park with Gma Margaret

Both boys got up and danced and sang on the White Stage at the Park

Logan doing what Logan does best- vroom-vroom!

I think Logan has a crush on this little fairy.  Everytime we go to Margaret's, he goes and sits by her on this rock and just smiles at her.  It is really sweet!

Wrestling together

Can you believe it?  They both looked and smiled at the same time!!  I am going to frame it!

While I was making lunch McKay was looking at his books.  Logan climbed in next to him and McKay started "reading" to Logan.  They both sat there and read for the longest time!  It was so cute!

We went camping for the weekend up Nephi Canyon.  In between chasing the boys and taking care of everything I didn't take a single picture but Matt took a couple- here's McKay's blue Gatorade mustache.

Anna and Kate chilling at our campsite

Logan playing the piano- he loves music and actually has a good beat.

McKay tried to join him but Logan pushed him off a second later- McKay was ruining his song I think.

Being silly together- although they are constantly at each other for taking each other's toy they are actually starting to play together pretty well.  It is fun to see.  I hope they are best friends.

Say cheese!

and there's my wild crazy man!

 

Happy Summer time!  Hope you are enjoying yours as much as we are!
