My baby is 2!!

Wow this is so late...Back on the 10th of Sept. Myles turned 2!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. So in honor of my beautiful boy here are just a few things about him that I love.

He has the happiest personality of any kid I've ever known. Always smiling and bringing smiles to everyone around him. He's so smart. I know I'm a little biased and every mom thinks their kid is a genius but Myles has a way of remembering things and learning everything so quickly. The things he can already do and the way he knows to do just what he's asked is amazing to me. I can talk to him like a "big" kid and he knows just what I'm saying and what to do. And oh boy can this kid hop and jump. Hop Hop Hop all over the place, down the hall, on the bed, even off the stairs! His love of school buses cracks me up and he gets so excited every time he sees one. He is so loving and cuddly and just loves to play all the time. Myles Conner I love you so much and can't wait to see what you'll grow up to be. You are amazing my little Goober!!!

Hiking up to Cecret Lake



Climbing trees and eating marshmallows at the camp site.



Asleep before we got out of the canyon.


What a great trip that was. I'm so glad to live in a place that has so much to offer and so many things to do.

More Than I Can Chew?!?!

Myles is turning 2 this week! I can't believe how fast the time has gone...more on that in later posts however. His party is on Saturday and I've decided to take it upon myself to make all of the ice cream for it. Why you ask??? I have no idea...I must be a fan of stress and torture.

The plan right now is to make 3 different kinds of ice cream, that will then be turned into ice cream sandwiches. For which I am also making the cookies. Pumpkin, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Vanilla are on the menu. Plus the 3D School Bus cake that my mother-in-law is making. (she's much better at cake baking than me). Oh and lets not forget the school bus pinata that Chris and I started yesterday. And yes it all gets to be done by 3:30 Saturday afternoon. We'll see how it goes and I'll be sure to let you know. I might end up at the store for all but the pumpkin ice cream and cookies. I tend to bite off a bit more than I can chew sometimes, and with my procrastinator personality I'm not sure how all of this is going to go.

Logan's Party

Logan's birthday party was a blast. We went to Magna Pool where we had cake did presents and then went swimming. Everyone was able to come, all of his cousins and aunts and uncles. He got a bunch of Transformers (of course) as well as a new bike, a Nerf Gun that can be turned into the controller for a Nerf Wii game and a set of golf clubs. We all had such a great time. Swimming we a blast and I've learned quickly this summer that I have to fish for sons...those two just can't get enough of the water.

School Days and Camping

Ok...It's been a while since I've updated, so I'm taking the time now, with pictures to follow because I'm at work and no longer have access to the excessive amounts of pictures on the home computer. So much has happened over the last few months...Logan moved back to St. George...long story...and has started Kindergarten. He says that he loves it and seems to be doing really well. His teachers name is Ms./Mrs. Lee and from what he says shes really nice. They don't however get a snack. lol This was one of the first things that he mentioned after his first day.

About a month or so ago we took a nice camping trip up Little Cottonwood Canyon. We reserved a spot at Tanners Flatt. It was such a great spot. They keep it completely groomed so we had a nice flat spot for out tent, a great fire pit, picnic table and it was all shaded. My parents came up for dinner and we went on a nice little walk down to the river. It was such a nice place. We will defiantly be going back there again. I'm not much for tents anymore, but for the kids I'll sacrifice and I'm really glad I did. We only stayed one night and the morning when we were packing up a deer walked right through the trees next to our tent. It was so cool being that close to such a beautiful animal and the kids were so excited! Chris taught Logan and Myles how to feed the squirrels and chipmunks that were running around everywhere. And Logan found a great trail that let us over a small stream and down an old riverbed. He was really proud when we let him lead the way.

Before we headed home we decided to take what we though was going to be an easy hike up to Cecret Lake...turns out it wasn't so easy. We made it about 3/4 of the way before deciding to turn back. Myles was a real trooper and hiked most of the way up. But by the time we got to where we turned around the 3 of us were exhausted. I have no doubt that Logan could have made it the rest of the way. As it was we hiked down the kids were asleep before we got out of the canyon. It was such a great trip. I can't wait to do it again.

Puddles

So this happened back in June, but I just found the pictures so I wanted to post about it. It was a rainy day and to pass the time at a slow moving birthday party. Uncle Clay decided to teach Myles how to jump in puddles. It was so much fun to watch them play together. Uncle Clay would hold Myles hand and they would jump together and SPLASH!!! By the time they were done they were both soaked from the waste down. Fortunatly I had extra clothes for Myles. Uncle Clay wasn't so lucky.

Another Late Birthday Post

On the day that Logan turned 5 Chris turned 26! What a great thing to share your birthday with your child! Chris is such a great husband and father. He is full of so much love for all of us and I don't know what I'd do without him in my life. He always works so hard to make sure we have everything we need, and most of the stuff we "want." There are defiantly more wants then needs in our house. They way that he applies himself to everything and sets his mind to what he has to do it great. And his mind is just amazing. So unlike my own. He remembers everything and is so smart about so many different things. From computers to produce...yeah produce. He loves it and as much as I think it's odd. I love that he loves it. I love all of his little quirks and the fun we have as a family. He's always willing to go on the little adventures that I plan for the kids and he always makes the best of it. Honey you are the love of my life. You do so much for me and the boys. I know I don't tell you enough, but I appreciate everything you do and love you SO much. Happy Birthday babe!
