My baby turned 6

I can't believe another year has gone by, we just celebrated Logans 6th birthday, He wanted a sports party, we had planned on having his party at the park but the weather didn't agree with us, so instead we had to move it to our house. It was fun all the kids enjoyed it. He was so excited he even helped make his pinata, we made a soccer ball and decided to kick it around until it broke instead of hitting it with a stick.

WOW where have I been.

Wow so it has been almost a year since I have blogged, I really need to get my act together and do it more often. So we have done a lot since last year obviously hehe. I won a trip to Vegas to go to the ACM awards and of course I took my wonderful Hubby with me, it was awesome so we flew out there and when we got off the plane we had to find a guy holding a sign that said DR Pepper, (yeah it was all inclusive and paid for by Dr. Pepper) after we followed the signs out to a bus we got on and it took us to the MGM Grand, after we checked in we went up to our room, at first we thought they had made a mistake and given us the wrong room number they sent us up to the Penthouse suite, when we got up there the key wouldn't open the door, so we called for help and they said they would send someone up to help, Joey finally was able to open it up 30 minutes later they showed up, later that night we went to a private concert with Blake Shelton and Sugarland,it was awesome. The next day we had tickets to go see Cirque de soleil KA, I think that was the best part of our entire stay, I would pay to go see that again words can't describe how awazing it was. The next day we went to the CMA awards and than a concert afterwards where a lot of the country singers performed. It was by far the best trip I have ever been on.

Dinosaurs

Last month we went to Vernal to see the Dinosaur museum. I remember going there when I was 14 my Uncle Steve and Aunt Colleen took me there it was so much fun, my favorite thing was the wully mammoth, so when my dad asked if we wanted to go up there before Logan started school of course I said yes because I have always wanted to go back there (it was like the little kid inside of me coming out again). Joey wasn't feeling very good but he was a trooper, Logan had a lot of fun, he keeps on asking me when we are going to go back. We also drove up to Colorado and went through there dinosaur park, I don't remember the name of it but it was a national park, My mom and I talked my dad into driving through some of it because there was a cool rock that was shaped out of a turtle that we wanted to see. When we got back to Fruitland all Logan wanted to do was dig for dinosaurs, so he found my dads shovel and started digging in the dirt. It was so cute:)

Logans Ice age birthday

So for Logans birthday which was almost a month ago, yeah I know im kind of slacking, my sister in-law Natalie asked me the other day when I was going to update it so I finally decided its probably about time. So back to Logans birthday party- He wanted to have a Ice Age birthday party so we made him a birthday cake which was fun because all of us got involved in making it, we invited the family over and some of Logans friends from the neighborhood. They played some dinosaur games (he loves dinosaurs) the kids went digging for dinosaurs, opened his presents and had a barbeque. We also Sang Happy birtday to his Grandpa Steve because we celebrated Logans birthday on his birthday.

Day at the zoo

I have seriously been slacking on our blog, but I promise I will try to do better to keep people updated on whats going on with us. So last month was my birthday, we decided to go to the zoo because we have been talking about going since we didn't make it to the zoo last year. We had lots of fun, we watched a elephant show, played on the playground, and of course visited all the animals. Than we went out to eat afterwards. Italian of course because thats my favorite.

Dinosaur Museum

So we were finally able to take Joey to the dinosaur museum, we had a lot of fun Logan was anxious to get to the end where he gets to dig up dinosaurs but he waited patiently while we walked through the rest of the museum. Logan loves the museum and wishes he could go there every week, every time he comes home from the museum he is already wanting to go back. Joey thought it was long but he enjoyed it. I liked it because I was able to spend time with my wonderful family, and my favorite part is the big shark.

I would hate to run into this if it were alive.

Party, Party, Party, Party

Can I just say how much we love this time of year. We love being able to spend time with friends and family and celebrating the birth of jesus christ. We are so blessed to have such great families that care about us and love us. I personally would like to say how much I love and appreciate Joeys family they are all so wonderful to me, I couldn't have asked for better in-laws. I am so greatful to have such a wonderful husband who does so much for me and great son who always makes me smile. We have had so much fun spending time with family this year, so far we have been to 2 christmas parties, we had the corless family christmas party 2 weeks ago up in lindon santa came and gave presents to all the little kids, and than afterwards they got to decorate gingerbread mans. It was so much fun.

1st year Logan didn't scream with santa.

Last night we went to the McPhie family Christmas party.

It was good to see all the family together, Santa also showed up to this christmas party almost all the kids were so excited to see him. Some were a little scared.

After Santa left all the kids got to gether and did a little program of the story of the nativity. It was so cute they all did such a good job it was the cutest thing ever. I think it helped the kids to understand that there is more to Christmas than just present.
