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.

Trip to Wyoming

So we went on vacation to jackson hole WY. Yellowstone and bear world back in September but im just getting time to post it. It was so much fun we wish we could have stayed up there longer. So everyone was telling us to pack some warm clothes because it usually snows this time of year so I was expecting to get up there and freeze. But I think it was in the 80s most of the time it was so nice. We did'nt see much wildlife like we thought we would, we usually go up in the spring and see tons of animals, but it was still nice to go up a different time of year because it looks so different. It was Beautiful. The leaves were all starting to change colors there was not as many people up there this time of year and the weather was perfect. Oh and it was Logans 1st time out of the state. He did really good we took plenty of stuff for him to do along the way so he wouldn't get bored and he didn't complain once, he really enjoyed it and was excited to see all the wildlife. 1st we went to Bear World It was a lot of fun. We got to see the little bear cubs and we went throught the petting zoo. There was this cute little baby deer that started licking Joeys fingers and than Logan walked up to it and it started licking his ears and wouldn't stop, Logan thought it was the funniest thing and was giggling the whole time. I wish I would have taken the camcorder in with us but I didn't because I forgot we had it with us. But I did get some good pictures of it. After we left Bear World we headed to Jackson hole to check in to the hotel it was a long day and we just wanted to get there and go to bed. The next morning we got up and headed through yellowstone we only saw a few animals but it was a nice drive, we stopped at old faithful and had lunch and drove around all day. The next day we decided to stay in town and walk around to see how much it had changed since we went there last. It hadn't really changed much but I think it's only been about 5 years since we went there last. If you ever go up there you have to go to this restaurant called gun barrell steak house they had the best food ever. We even brought home a bottle of steak sauce it is so yummy I don't know what im gonna do when it is all gone. Ill have to figure out if I can order some. We had a blast on the 3rd day we went back up through yellowstone again to go see all the things we missed the 1st time. Logan had a lot of fun to we didn't want to come home yet. We love going on vacations.

Halloween

Haloween Carnival

We had a busy week with Haloween. Wednesday we went to a Halloween carnival Logan had so much fun. While we were there he went fishing and won candy, he did the cupcake walk, had them make a snake out of a balloon and so much more. Than after that we went home and carved pumpkins. Im allergic to them so I had a rash all up my arms and for some reason this year Joey had a reaction to the pumpkin carving to. His arms got all itchy weird.

Thursday we went to Chuck E Cheese to westins Birthday party. Logan didn't want to leave he had a lot of fun playing with his cousins and all the fun games.

Than of course there was friday halloween we went to our parents house and than I took him trick or treating around the neighborhood while Joey stayed home to hand out candy. He had so much fun he didn't want to quit I finally made him quit when he wanted me to carry him to every house because he said his legs were tired. So we decided to go home. We had a really fun time for halloween but im glad it's over.
