A sad realization...

that being a wife, a mom, having a part time medical assistant job and a part time photography business (if I can even call it that?) doesn't mix with full time online classes:( I just started classes and they were crazy busy, Logan was not liking that I was sitting at the computer all the time, and I don't blame him. Poor little guy, I felt so bad, I practically had to ignore him to try and get stuff done, which is not good! So, Brett and I decided it would be better if I dropped my classes:( I was a little upset because I was really looking forward to finishing, but I feel I just need to be content and thankful for the school I have done thus fare:) Logan and Brett are too important to focus all my attention on school instead of them. I guess I will try again when Logan is a little older:) Sorry, I felt like I needed to vent a little, life can be so crazy sometimes, but it is good to have friends and family you know can listen to you complain:)

Logan turns one on Monday and I can hardly believe it. Brett and I feel very blessed to be his parents and we are so thankful for our little man! 2009 was a great year - Logan was born, we became parents (what an experience and still is!!!:) Brett was super busy with school and work, Brett spent 8 weeks away from us in Hawaii for work, Brett and I turned 25!! ahh, Logan was sick sick sick and finally got ear tubes :) Brett Graduated and the holidays were wonderful! Now an entire new year is ahead and I am so excited to see what it will bring. My goals for 2010 - Get Logan off the BOTTLE, but the kid is seriously addicted! Get finances in order and pay off a ton of stuff, now that Brett has a good full time job with NO SCHOOL! Have fun with friends and family, do more photography and get read of all this extra holiday weight! ha Sorry for the long boring post and thanks for reading my rambling:)
Happy New Year Everyone!

~Christmas~

Logan had a pretty good first Christmas, but he was and is still sick with a cruddy cough and cold, poor little guy:( Here are a few pictures, as I was posting I realized I only took pictures on Christmas of Logan:) I just love the little guy:) Christmas is such a great time of year and I am kind of sad it is already over, it comes and goes so quick now a days! Christmas Morning!!! Love the hair:)

Welcome Home!

Yesterday Brett's little brother Dustin got home from his mission! Dustin was serving in Brazil. Welcome home Dustin!!



Logan will not leave the tree alone, so the bottom half is a mess, but it is ok:)The other day he was really quiet and when I checked on him I found that he had pulled some lights off, it looked so funny that I grabbed the camera.
Logan tried to crawl toward me but his foot was tangled in the Christmas lights, needless to say he was a little upset........

3 years ago today....

Brett and I were married in the Idaho Falls Temple! It was a wonderful, cold, day:) It has been a great three years and I am looking forward to forever with Brett! I love you!

By the way, my cute little husband graduates on Friday night!!! Woo hoo!! He is actually already done with all of his classes and he could not be happier:) Also, Brett's little brother Dustin gets home from his mission to Brazil tomorrow, we are excited to see him and Logan is excited to meet Dustin! Pictures to come!

Cool Beans!

Yesterday Brett had to go to Grad Fest at school to pick up his tassel for graduation in TWO WEEKS! Anywho, while he was waiting they were doing a raffle and Brett had a ticket that they had given him when he got there. Well, Brett was about to leave because they were giving away boring stuff like diploma frames and books:) But just as he was leaving they called his number for the next PRIZE! Brett won a.........

It is so awesome, it has a video camera! We were so excited, I am pretty sure the reason I love it is because it was FREE!

Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving at my parents house! We ate and played games and then headed to Brett's parents for more dessert. Logan loved all the food!

Friday morning my sister Shannon and I headed to Target at 3:30 AM! We stood in line for an hour to get in and stood in line for an hour to check out, but it was so worth it, we got a ton of great stuff:) Thanks to Brett's mom and sisters who we bumped into in Target, and thank heavens we did, Shannon and I would not have been able to get through the lines without them!:)


Shannon's pilot was FULL! It was so much fun, thanks Shan! We love Black Friday!


Friday night we went to the City Park for the annual tree lighting ceremony and to see Santa. Logan lasted about two seconds and then fell asleep! I guess we had him bundled too warm:)

Kirra and Tysen with SANTA!

**Best time a year!! Merry Christmas everyone!!!**

Tonight Brett made a little fort for Logan, he loved it and it was so funny! I had to post this picture.

Brett's 25th Birthday!

Last Friday was Brett's 25 th Birthday! We headed to Utah that day and stayed in a really nice hotel in Salt Lake. My parents, my brother Mikel and his family and my sister Shannon and here family were also there! It was great and we had a ton of fun at the pool, which was actually a water park with a huge slide! Saturday morning we did a little shopping and then headed to Provo for the BYU vs. TCU game! We met up with Brett's brother Kevin and his wife Tiffany, they watched Logan while we went to the game, it was great because it was Brett and I first date without Logan:) We had a ton of fun at the game even though BYU got creamed:( Happy Birthday Brett!!
The picture above is our actual seats at the game, the picture below is the seats we would have liked to have:) Because the game was such a blowout, everyone started leaving early, so Brett and I went down to the seats closer to the field!



Provo hosted ESPN's College GameDay, which was huge for Brett!! This is Brett in front of the ESPN College GameDay Truck, we would have gotten closer, but we where in a rush to get to the stadium.
Brett with his cake, it was actually 24 cupcakes with a TON of frosting! Logan in the back just waiting to go swimming!

Logan 9 Months

I just wanted to post this picture of me and my best friends, Taunya, Bridget and Jennifer! We try and get together every month, this month we went to dinner with no kiddos! It was so fun, we laughed, ate, talked, and laughed more! Thanks girls! I still think we need to do this more than 1 a month:) BTW funny story- After dinner Taunya and I had drove together and right before she dropped me off, I dumped my left overs all over the floor of her car!! I felt so bad, so I frantically started picking up the penne noodles, when we got to my house I opened the door and started throwing noodles out while laughing and apologizing to Taunya. Then just as I was getting out I saw what I thought was another noodle so I reached for it, mid reach I realized it was a BAND-AID!!!! Also, as I was reaching I hear Taunya say "I don't think that is a noodle." We laughed so hard, I started crying!!!! hahahaha

Logan is so big:( He is growing too fast, here are a few funny pics and his 9 month pictures are above (because I couldn't figure out how to put them at the bottom):)

Silly Logan, He can't let go of his old car seat, he loves playing with it. This is how I found him the other day:)

Logan at the mall, he crashed in American Eagle:)

Somehow he got a pen, thank heavens he didn't get his eye!

Go BYU!

Last Friday we headed to Provo, UT for the BYU game. On our way we stopped in Salt Lake and went to Hogle Zoo with my sister Shannon and her two kids. It was so much fun, I always say Logan had fun at places, but really he has no idea what is going on, but at the zoo he seriously had a ball! He loved all the people, the carousel and the train ride through the zoo. He was smiling and taking it all in the whole time. At the zoo there was a baby elephant, giraffe and triplet baby tigers, they were all so cute! After the zoo we ate dinner at Chipotle, which is so good! Then we headed to Payson, UT to stay with Brett's brother Kevin, and his wife Tiffany in there new house! Thanks again:) The new house is awesome, we loved it! It made me and Brett want to sell our little house and get something a little bigger:) Saturday we did a little shopping with Kevin and Tiffany at the University Place Mall ate at 5 guys burger and fries and then headed to the stadium. We found our seats and Logan was doing pretty good, but then the game started and everyone was standing up and cheering loudly, and Logan was no longer a fan of football (other than on tv) Logan and I walked around for a little while and then after half time we tried it again, but he still was not a fan! So we were headed out and we found this awesome HUGE room with comfy chairs and huge tvs playing the game, it was great. We were able to watch the rest of the game:) BYU won!! We got home late Satuday night and we were beat!
