it's feeding time

Last weekend when we were visiting my parents. Logan and I took a trip to the barn. My uncle raises goats and currently has about 25. The little ones are cute! The big ones... not so much! Logan got to bottle feed one of the baby goats. He was more concerned with the puppies that wanted to check out the action.

Last weekend when we were visiting my parents, Logan got to visit the goats. My Uncle raises goats and has about 25 or more. Logan fed one of them with a bottle. Logan was more concerned with the dog than feeding the goat.

winter fun

Wow, we had a blast Friday night. We went over to Perfect North Slopes and went tubing! I have zero pictures of the evening, because

1. I forgot my camera and

2. I couldn't hold and camera and a tube at the same time.

We went with a group of friends from church and had a good time. Jeff had an upset stomach, so he was sidelined and watched.

The first trip down, I held onto Logan's tube and we went down together. He was scared. He cried a little going down, but once we were at the bottom, he was ready to give it one more try.

He LOVED the doing the long trains. The first time we had a long train with Steve, Pam, Erin, Logan and me, we went down fast. He looked scared all the way down, but exclaimed, "Let's do that again!" once we stopped. We tubed for over 2 hours, the last time up, Logan couldn't take two steps without falling. He told Mrs. Michelle, "It's past my bedtime." He was exhausted. We are looking forward to doing it again!

quick Christmas update

I can't believe I haven't updated the blog since November. Shame on me! December was hectic. As you experienced also. But it was a great holiday season. Logan (in his own words) got all I ever wanted from Santa.. real tools made of metal! Of course, that was not all he received.

At Thanksgiving, someone asked Gage, my great-nephew (age 4), what he wanted for Christmas. To which Logan quickly replied, "It doesn't matter anyway, cause Santa doesn't bring you what you want!" This because 'Santa' decided Logan was too big for a Diego Tree house last year!

I think he has changed his mind this year! We baked cookies for Santa. And remembered to leave out extra carrots for Rudolf.
After Christmas, Logan enjoyed playing the paleontologist. Santa also brought him a Dinosaur dig. Plastic bones encased in plaster that he got to dig out with a hammer and a chisel. You can tell he took his work very seriously.

mom's ramblings

I returned from a trip to San Diego last Sunday. I had went out west for a conference with work and left Jeff and Logan to fend for themselves. While I was away, My nephew Adam and his wife, Stephanie, asked Logan where his mommy was, "San Diego." he replied.

When they asked him what I was doing in San Diego, he told them I was looking for a new job. Stephanie said that little kids always know what's going on, but to be sure they asked Jeff. To which he replied, "Well, right now she's cold!" (and I was. I had packed for low 70's and arrived to 50's.) Anyway, Adam took that as Jeff avoiding the question. Adam and Stephanie then thought we were moving to Cali! :)

Nope, sorry guys, can't get rid of us that easy!

the kindergartener

Yep! That's our boy. The big kindergartener looking quite pleased with himself. I hope everyone had a great halloween! We did. The Scott boys came over to trick or treat with us, along with Hannah, Lucas and LeeAnn Saylor. We had a great time. We made a fast dash around the neighborhood in 45 minutes so we could still make it to bible study on time. Of course the pics are still in my 35mm waiting to be developed. Someday I will graduate to a new digital camera that I like.

it's about time...

Finally! It is almost the end of October and I haven't posted since mid-August. I am sure I have voilated some sort of bloggers law. But finally, here I am at midnight, downloading photos from the weekend. It has been a busy couple of months, but I will be honest, I haven't posted because I am lazy. That and who can keep up the Scott's blog. They do all kinds of fun stuff, like going to a doggie halloween party, camping, host halloween parties. OK obviously it is late, because I am rambling and not getting to the fun.



I went to my first parent-teacher conference. On Wednesday, before going, I told Logan I was going to talk to his teacher. He asked, "What about?" "You" I replied. Then I asked, what is she going to tell me about you? His eyes widened. "Mom, I had to turn my color." Completely ratted himself out. Kinda funny, but kinda scary. He is a little sneaky. Anyway back to the PTC - Love setting in the kindergarten chairs! Basically she said Logan was doing great and a joy to have in class, blah, blah, blah... Oh yeah, did I mention he talks too much and interrupts her during class.



I ask Logan why he interrupted his teacher and all he had to say in his defense, "I had something to say!" He is learning a lot. We play word games in the car and he loves learning new things.



Now for the fun part. It's HALLOWEEN! Such a fun time of year. I love making his costume, I hope it continues to be a tradition in our house. But all too soon, he will prefer the cooler store bought jobs. This year he wanted to be a dragon. I thought he was a dragon last year, to which I was reminded it was a dinosaur. Again, I thought they were the same thing. Again I was corrected, "Mom, a dragon has wings!" So, I had to creat a red dragon with wings that blew fire. Jeff thought a lighter with a can of hairspray would work fine. (Jokingly!) But we opted for something a little safer. Here's my fire-breathing, shiny-winged flying, red dragon...

OK for my last bit of blogging for the night, I promised HollyM a pic of my new 'do. Since it was halloween.

I do enjoy playing with photoshop.
