Spud Day!

 Spud day started on Friday afternoon with the Tater Tot Trot!  Kenzi did it for her first time.  She had been so so excited to do it, but was tired and hungry right before her race and wanted me to hold her:/  She crossed the finish line and got her bread and milk.  Then she was out in two minutes when we got in the car. 



Logan did really well and had a ton of fun.  He just about got 2nd place, but had some kind of distraction on the last curve. :/  He was happy with a new metal and chocolate milk:)


Logan wanted a pic by Boomer the mascot, but was a little hesitant once he got near him.  
 

Saturday morning my entire family was on a float for my dad's last ride in the parade as Mayor.  
After 12 years he is not running again this fall.  It was fun to have the whole family there to support my parents and throw lots of candy!
 





Other happenings in September.  

At the beginning of September we harvested our Garden.   We have had a lot of rodents in our garden so it was time to clear it out and mow it down.  The kids were so so so excited to get their pumpkins!!!









20 week baby bump
 

Sunday night chocolate fix of brownies and mini m&m's from Grandma Hanson
 



Photo bombing from Brett:) 
 





Kenz wanted to eat her chicken nuggets and her ketchup in the living room after her long nap:)   She looked so cute sitting there:)

Logan's first day of Preschool!!











Kenz was so sad she didn't get to go to school.  So we came home and played play-doh and colored while Logan was gone.  :)

End of the Summer fun:)

Sad to see the summer go, but here are a few fun things we have been doing:) 

 Brett lets the kids do fun things while I am working:)  Here they are painting their little boats:)


Brett had a really fun work party at Melaleuca Field.  We had a BBQ and there were lots of fun things for the kids to do.  They loved it!




The kids love eating uncooked ramen noodles....weirdos

The kids were invited to their first Birthday party for their little friend Jaylee.  They had a great time:) 




Kenzi put on a ton of sunscreen by herself one day....


She is still falling asleep late in the afternoon in funny places.



Just playin above and Kenzi watching dad mow the lawn.  The kids have had a fun summer.  We didn't do too much but it was fun to have a yard again and a place to play and watch the grass grow.  Logan has said a few funny things I want to remember.  The other day his foot fell asleep and he was so worried and said "my foot is all sparkly.. ouch!" 
At a Chukar's Game the other night he was so excited to get some cotton candy, but he couldn't remember what is was called.  He told Brett "I want the stuff that goes around and around and it's comfy in your mouth."
It started to hail and Logan came running out of our room yelling "Look, rock rain! Do you see the rocks?!"

Kenzi is always funny too and says some funny things like.  "The baby in moms belly is getting big, big, big!"

Just a few days before Labor Day weekend I decided we needed one fun getaway before we said goodbye to summer.  Logan starts school this coming week.  So we headed to SLC.  Friday night we went to the Gateway Mall and let the kids pick out a special toy.  Kenzi built a Hello Kitty Build a Bear.  Logan was way too cool for that so he found a sweet Ninja Turtles book at Barnes and Noble.  
After we headed to our hotel and did a little swimming with Kirra and Tysen.  The kids had a ton of fun.  We went right to sleep so we could get up and head to Lagoon.  I didn't sleep much because it was a pretty ghetto hotel so I was up and ready and getting everyone ready to head out.  We ate breakfast at IHOP in Centerville then headed to LAGOON.  The kids had so much fun!  We rode the rides and played at Lagoon-a-beach for a few hours.  I think the swimming may have been Logan's favorite part.  We stayed at the park until 7:00 pm and then headed home.  It was a fun little getaway that I think the kids really enjoyed:) 





 



Bumper cars.  Logan couldn't figure out how to turn the wheel right so they just spun in a circle while we yelled to turn the wheel all the way around.   Then they both were offended when others would bump into them...hilarious!





Puff!  Brett loved it!  The kids...not so much.


Logan picked our these whirly pops after we were done swimming. 



Kenzi took a nap for over an hour in the stroller.  While she slept Logan went on the Log ride with Brett, he loved it and the trams with me.  He also played a little game were he had to through a ball into a hole and try to get the ball to land in a colored hole to determine his prize.  He didn't get the ball in a special colored hole, but the young boy running the little game was so nice and said. "Alright which prize you guys did great!"  Logan got a little unicorn for Kenzi and a penguin for himself.  He was so so proud he had done so well on the game:)
