Happy Holidays everyone!!

I had been up to SOO much this season, preparing for Christmas.  I think I took on a little too much, between all the crafting, cooking, decorating and the normal shopping and gift wrapping... this year took a toll on me!   Next year, I'm definitely trimming back.  Christmas this year was a ton of fun, especially for Logan! He did awesome with the Christmas tree and ornaments.  We bought all non-breakable ones, but he still didn't bother the tree or the presents too much.  We enjoyed spending the holidays with both sides of the family this year -- SICKNESS FREE!! :)

At our ward Christmas party, Logan got his 2nd picture with Santa.  This year he was quite aware of the a strange man trying to make him sit on his lap.  BUT -- having the photo with a screaming child on Santa's lap is a must have, so we got ours!

Halloween Fun

I haven't been keeping up on Logan's monthly milestones after he turned 1, but i know i should because one day he will enjoy knowing all the silly things he used to do.  At 14 months he has:

5 teeth!

Favorite word: No!

Other new words: Bye, Hello, Uh-oh!, Football, What is that

He is mimicking words all the time, but they aren't clear yet

Has discovered his (and our) belly buttons

Can open & close doors

Knocks on doors

He loves "nummy drinks" which are smoothies from our vitamix and points to the vitamix to let me know when he wants one.

Wears size 18 month clothes and size 5/6 shoes

Weighs 22.5 pounds

HALLOWEEN! Logan's 2nd Halloween and first pumpkin patch trip!

We went to Cobb Ranch and had a ton of fun! We didn't get many good pictures because Logan would not stay still long enough.

Tractor Ride!

Logan decorating his first pumpkin

Practicing his dino-roar! Classis picture, I know!!

See...it wasn't complete torture!!

Trunk or Treat, and Logan's first peice of candy, EVER (so far that is)

Catch Up Time!

At the end of August we went to San Diego to go to one of David's cousins wedding.  It was a ton of fun, and the whole Price Family came and went spent a long weekend together.  It is always fun to have all the cousins together, Logan loves to play with them and try to keep up.

Here is Logan at the temple picking flowers.  He loves to pick them and smell them.

...and loves to make everyone else smell them too.

 

It was so nice to go to the temple where David and I were sealed in, and the wedding took place in the same sealing room we had!  Logan enjoyed playing on the temple grounds, and got to see his Great Grandad and Grandma Price.

We spent a long beautiful day in the hot San Diego sun at Mission Beach.  We had a nice BBQ with the whole Price Fam and played on the beach.

The beach cruisers were the highlight of our day at the beach.  Uncle Doug had a ton if them and we rode around mission beach and imagined what it would be like to own a beach home along the path. 

I know this is totally late...but better late than never right?!
