Yesterday was Kyle and My 11th Anniversary. Kyle surprised me by arranging Brooke to watch the kids while we took a mini trip. We went shopping (didn't buy anything though), out for supper, gambling and then came home this morning. Thank you Honey!

Last week marked the end of Softball and Swimming lessons for Emily. She didn't pass her swimming lessons--She would rather play than learn at the pool. We will try again next year. Em did very good playing ball. Her coach told her to stick with it and she will be a good little player.

Logan is sitting for longer periods on his own and loving baby food. We don't know if he is ever going to crawl since he does not like to be on his tummy. At least I know where he is when he either sits or lays to play on the floor.

Wonderful Suprise

Last weekend Alisa called and said that she and her family were in town. Alisa, Elizabeth, Shannon, Mariah, and Sheliyah came over and visited on Sunday, Wed, Thurs, and Friday. It was great to catch up on everything and Emily and Logan LOVED playing with the girls....We said our Good Bye's on Friday--Come back soon!

Then on Saturday we said our Good Bye's to Grandpa Steve and Grandma Marilyn. They headed back to Utah this morning--We can't wait to go visit them in August.

Logan's Check Up

Logan had his 6 month check up this morning. He is a healthy, happy baby...He is 17 lbs 1 oz and 26 1/2 inches long.

Adventureland

On Sunday morning at 7:00 AM Mom, Karissa, Emily, Logan, Devin and I took off for Des Moines. The original plan was to go to the Zoo when we got there, but it was raining, so we went to Chuck E Cheese instead. We went out for supper and then back to Lynnette and Kevin's house and Emily and Sophia played on Sophia's new swing set.

Monday all of the girls (Sophia, Emily, Karissa, Lynnette, Mom and me) headed out for breakfast and then to Adventureland. Lynnette's Nanny was nice enough to watch all three of the baby boys. From the time we got there Emily asked where the Log Ride was. I kept telling her we were going to ride everything until we found it....Finally we did and she was so excited-at the end of the day we had to ride it one last time, to be the final ride. Emily also went on the Dragon, the roller coaster that goes upside down. At first she was OK, then we started climbing the hill (you know the one that goes slow enough that it gives you time to think about what is going to happen). I looked over at Em and she had tears streaming down her face "I don't want to do this mom". So I held her hand and went up and down and all around. When it was over she was smiling and said "That was awesome!"

We all had a great time. Emily and Logan must have been really tuckered out...because they were both in bed between 8 & 8:30 and I had to wake both of them up at 9:00 this morning.
