The Zoo

The past couple of months Logan has started talking a ton! One thing he loves to do is say the different animals sounds. For awhile he thought every animal said ruff ruff so it was a big step for him to learn that not every animal is a doggy. I've been so excited to take him to the zoo to show him all the animals we've been learning and we finally had a warm enough day to go. We went with my friend Tiffany and her little boy who is also named Logan. We walked around and saw all the animals and then took the kids on the carousel and the "choo choo". A few temper tantrums were thrown after getting off the rides but I managed to distract Logan with a new exhibit so that he would calm down. They also had a little playground that we let the kids run around in. We had such a good time and I can't wait to go back!

The Park

My mom was in town this week so Jenny and her family came up to hang out. We took the kids to this really cool park and let them burn off some energy. I am so glad it's finally starting to get warm so we aren't stuck in the house all day.

Happy Birthday to Me!

This year I celebrated my 27th birthday and I can honestly say it's been the best birthday yet! My amazing mother-in-law took me on a fabulous trip to Vegas for the weekend. We did three things: eat, shop, and sleep. We were only there for two days but we managed to make it to three different malls, and we came home with an entire suitcase of new stuff! I hope Taylor's got big plans for my next birthday because this one is going to be hard to top.

December

So a couple of weeks ago my wonderful husband stepped on my MacBook and broke it. I thought I was going to die. I pretty much didn't know how to function on a regular computer and therefore didn't blog or do hardly anything. But happy early birthday to me, I now have a new Mac and I can finally start blogging again. I'm trying to play catch up now so here's what took place in December.

Christmas Breakfast at the Grand America with Santa

Yes, Logan was petrified of Santa and wanted nothing to do with him. Oh well, we had some good food. (The three girls in the picture are my nieces from Taylor's side of the family. Aren't they cute?)

Playing in the snow with Daddy

Logan loves more than anything to be outside so we knew once it got cold that we were going to have to buy a snow suit. We didn't let him go out all that often but when we did he had a blast.

Christmas Lights at Temple Square

It was freezing, and every year I swear I'm never coming back.

Christmas

Logan got this chair as part of his Christmas and it seriously has been the greatest gift he has ever gotten. He spends at least a couple hours a day sitting in it, jumping off it, flipping it over, and climbing on top of it. Who knew a little chair could do so much?

I tried to find a picture with Logan actually looking at the camera but it doesn't exist. He is way too busy.

This year we spent Christmas in Reno with my family.

Hello Kitty

One thing that Logan has never been afraid of is animals. In fact, it's quite the opposite. He loves most animals especially one in particular. Taylor's parents have a kitty that Logan is obsessed with. Whenever he sees the kitty he tackles it and then proceeds to lay on top of him. Now you would think this would upset the kitty but it doesn't. The kitty sits there and purrs while Logan climbs all over him. Here are a few examples of what I'm talking about.

Hawaii

A couple of months ago, some friends of ours invited us to go to Hawaii with them. After some serious number crunching and realizing that Logan was too young to notice if he didn't get a Christmas, we decided to go. (Yes, of course I'm kidding) We left the little guy home with Taylor's mom and off we went. We stayed on the island of Oahu at a Marriott on Waikiki and seriously had the best time. We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, did a ton of shopping, and spent the majority of our time on the beach. A couple of highlights from the trip were Hanauma bay, which had amazing snorkeling, and visiting the town of Haliewa. It's this cool little town with lots of surf shops, great restaurants, and an amazing beach. Thanks to Tiff and Trent for letting us come along, we had a blast!!!
