Teething

So as most of you know or at least can see in pictures Logan has had his two bottom teeth for about three months now. Well he now has one more on the top and another one coming in. I must say him getting his top teeth has been a lot more treaterous(spelling?) It has been awful. The first time he was a little fussy, no real fevers, no blowout diapers, he would let us rub his gums to help them feel better. This time he is crying like crazy, which is really unusual for him. He has had fevers like crazy, has ruined at least three onesies with blowouts, and won't even let us go near his mouth. Poor little guy. I feel so helpless. I know he is in pain and pretty much all i can do is give him baby tylenol which usually takes a half and hour to work. I sure feel bad for him. And i hate to say it but i sure feel bad for me too. I am really grateful that i don't have a cryer all the time. Hopefully once this fourth tooth comes in he will be a lot happier. At least until the next set comes in. (I know i already posted this picture but its a good one of his teeth!)

Family Pictures

Finally!! We got our family pictures taken almost a month ago but have had some problems getting them to work on the computer. So finally we got it all worked out and i am so happy with them. We went up Little Cottonwood canyon and got them done. My wonderful sister Hilary took them and did a wonderful job. This was her first time doing pictures like this and she did awesome. We definitely learned that we need to bring a little kid to make Logan happy. It was pretty chilly and he had just woken up from his nap. So now we know to bring Lincoln to make him smile. But all in all i really like our pictures. It was really hard to choose which ones of Logan were best.

Update

So finally another post. David was in California all last week for training for work and he had our computer with him. So this will be about the whole last week. Well first like i mentioned David was in California from Sunday until Friday. It was really hard and sad having him gone. Logan and i missed him so much. Last time he went out of town we stayed at my moms house and Logan slept horribly cause he had to sleep in a pack n play and that started sleeping problems that lasted for two months. So this time my wonderful sisters slept at my house with me so Logan could sleep in his own bed. That definitely made David being gone easier and we had lots of fun with Hilary and Leslie. We really didn't do many activities this week until Halloween day. On Halloween we went to Sizzler with my mom, Hilary, and Leslie. Then we went to my dads work with Logan in his costume cause they were doing trick or treating which Logan didn't do but my dad sure loved showing Logan off. Then we went to trunk or treat at my parents ward since David was still gone. It was a pretty fun Halloween but sad David missed Logan's first. So now its saturday and David is home. In the morning we just relaxed then went to my parents house do David could work on the addition and Hilary and Logan and I went shopping. Then the BYU game. I would just love to watch another shut out and not have it come down to the last minute on if we are going to win or not. As they say a win is a win but i would like it to be a WIN not just a win. Then we went to David's parents house to see his grandma who was in town. And today ended our month long Halloween festivities. We went to my grandparents house for our annual Halloween party. We dress up and have soups for dinner( which it was perfect weather for) and do a spook alley in the basement. And i must say it was a wonderful spook alley this year. Very impressive work. This is a picture from the party and of Logan in his cute little costume that he got to wear one more time.

Spooky Skeletons

Today we did playdate with my sister Leslie and the little girl she nannies Annie. Also my nephew Layne and sister-in-law Elana came. We made these skeletons that glow in the dark and you can make dance around. My mom and dad were at Lowes a couple weeks ago (since they are adding onto their house they go there a lot) and they had these crafts. So my they got some for us to do on a playdate. They were really fun and the kids loved them. It was really fun that they were glow in the dark. So i guess Lowes does a craft every 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month. They also each got little aprons that were so cute on them!
Here we are making the skeletons.

Here they are out in the sun getting them ready do glow in the dark.

And here they are making them dance.

Create a baby

So i saw this on my friends blog yesterday and tried doing it but it kept saying error. So then i saw it again on another friends blog and decided to try again. You just put in a picture of a mom and a dad and then it tells you this is what your baby would look like. This is ours. What do you think? Could that be Logan's sibling?

Naptime

So when David got home from work today he was watching Logan so that i could take a nap cause i did not get much sleep last night. Well while i was asleep David and Logan were playing and Logan started getting fussy so David put him in his walker and gave him a cracker. All of a sudden he looks at Logan and he is asleep. Cracker still in hand and everything. This kid will fight sleep like no other but when he is finally ready to sleep it is all of a sudden. I am really glad David thought to take pictures since i was asleep. I never would have wanted to miss this!!

Halloween Carnival

On Wednesday Logan and I went to a Halloween carnival at my sister school. She is a preschool teacher at an elementary school and her kids were going off track so they celebrated Halloween early. So we went and met my sister Leslie there and the girl she nannies, Annie(who is in Emily's preschool class), and my nephew Layne. Logan and i didn't have too much fun since he is too young to do anything. But it was fun to see Annie and Layne having fun doing all of the activities and to see them and Logan in their costumes.


Here is Annie, Layne, and Logan in their costumes.

Play date

Today Logan and I went on a playdate with our friends. Teresa and her baby Gavin. And Rachel and her baby Abby. It was so much fun. We went to Zupas and had lunch and talked. I had never been to Zupas before and was happy that is where Rachel picked. David and I have a list of places we want to go but really i feel like it is a list of places i want to go. Anytime i mention one of them David says mm..nah that doesn't sound good. So i was glad we went there. It was really good. Logan had fun with the other babies. He would just lean over the high chair and stare at Gavin. Then Abby woke up and both boys were being very smiley with her and flirty. These are just some pictures of the kids at lunch. I took one with Rachel and Teresa too but was asked not to post it. And since i want to continue these playdates i won't!!

My wonderful husband

Ok so i just have to write and say how wonderful my husband is. David works so hard so that i get to stay home with our Logan. I am so grateful that he goes to work every day so that i don't have to. And in addition to him going to work everyday, after his shower every morning he gets logan up and just plays with him while he gets ready so that i get to sleep and extra twenty minutes everyday. He is absolutely amazing. I am so lucky that he is so patient and loving. Seriously he is absolutely the best husband a girl could ask for!! Now talking for Logan he is the best dad any little boy could ask for!!

Conference Weekend

Conference weekend was a lot of fun and very busy. David had work on Saturday so Logan and i went grocery shopping with my mom and then came home and watched morning conference. Then Hilary, Leslie, and Logan and I went to Arctic Circle for lunch which has been a tradition in my family for years. When we were little we would go between conferences to get the kids meal to get the cool halloween flashlights. We have graduated from that but still go. Logan loves the ice cream cones there and they are the perfect size for him.

Then we came home and watched the afternoon conference. After that David went to dinner with his dad and brothers and Logan and I went to dinner with his mom and sisters and sister in laws. Then we went to Davids brothers house and the kids played while we watched Overboard. Logan really likes playing with other kids. We were there til about one thirty in the morning and then were up early this morning with Logan. Once again we watched morning conference and then went to my parents for omelets. Another family tradition. Then we went home and watched afternoon conference. And once again we went to my parents for dinner and had super nachos. Yet another conference weekend tradition. My family is so chock full of tradtions i love it!! We were so busy but it was so much fun and we got to stay in our jammies all day on Sunday so it was nice!
