Logan turns three!





Awww.... my awesome little boy turned three on the 18th! Some of my favorite things about Logan include: calling hammers "chickens," telling me he is proud of me, and telling McKay "it's okay, Logan's here" when he is crying. We moved this year and he handled it like a champ, even finishing his potty training. He has made some great friends and will be moving to Primary soon.

For his birthday the little boy was lucky enough to have his Grandma and Grandpa Chase, Stacy, Julie, Grandma Thornton and his family here. He had such a fun time making an Elmo cake with his Grandma and blowing out the candles. Logan had pancakes for lunch and lasagna for dinner so it was his favorite day ever!

My favorite picture is the one of him with a little smile looking down at his cake.

Milkshake

Not the best dancing video, but you can see McKay's costume in full, and the tail cracks me up. He is at our friend Karen's music class, Logan's favorite part of the week!

Halloween, Halloween, Trick-or-Treat




We love Halloween! It is Loren's favorite holiday, and I'm sure it will be the boys' as well. Thursday we had our ward trunk-or-treat, which was fun because it was actually a little cold out. We had hot chocolate and let our little cow run around. The little black on his nose is when he fell on the asphalt. Friday we went to the shopping center and went trick-or-treating, this time Logan was a dragon. (It still fit from last year--why don't my kids grow?) Saturday we went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Anthem is big on Halloween, it was fabulous. There were all sorts of block parties, and people sat at the end of their driveways with tables of food and drinks. So we had a little root beer, a little nachos, some guacamole that was being thrown up by a pumpkin... all in all good clean fun. We had a great time.

McKay has popped THREE teeth this week, and he has two more to go. Poor little guy. I am letting him take a longer nap than usual. This week my goal is to get the butterfly wallpaper out of his room, the Dora the Explorer has already been stripped. Then--on to painting!
