Logan's First Christmas!

Well Logan's first Christmas was a HUGE success!! He loved the boxes and wrapping paper! His favorite item was a tooth brush that my mom gave him out of her stocking - he is still chewing on it. All in all it was a great day and fun was had by all. I cooked for the family - yes that is correct I cooked it all, potatoes, green bean casserole, peas, prime rib, honey glazed ham, pumpkin pie, pretzel jello and the works!! It was a lot of work but nice to have the Family together!

Here are pictures of the day ...

Who is the Fat man in a red suit???

Well it's Logan of course - not Santa!

This was Logan on Christmas Eve - he was waiting for the Big Man to get there!

Who Loves the Snow .... Not Logan!

The weekend before Christmas Andrew and I took the kids up the hill to the Snow. We went up to Huntington Lake which is above Shaver and Sierra Summit. There was a few feet of snow and it was a little cold. We took Chill's ball and let him chase it around all the while Logan had a frown on his face - I don't think he like the cold and wet but he was going to play in the snow and like it! The best part of the snow was that my friend Kristen and her Family were at the snow park we stopped at getting ready to go snow mobiling! What are the chances?? They are from Atascadero and had left early that morning and we just woke up and wanted to take the boys to the snow. We pulled into this snow park and saw all of the snow mobiles and were going to turn around and find another park (we didn't want to look like big dorks playing ball with our kid and dog in the snow) but Andrew recognized Kristen's Dad and then her mom cam running over to the truck to see Logan! We had a blast visiting with them and watching them get ready for a day snow mobiling! By the end of the snow time Logan had a smile on his face and was enjoying it! We also found a great little bar on Huntington Lake! Good food and great drinks - we will be going back in the summer to sit by the lake and enjoy a few drinks!

Chill the super snow dog ....

Kristen and Logan - a match made in Heaven!

Waiting for Santa ...

Andrew & I took pictures of Logan and Chill in their Christmas gear in front of the tree. He loved the tree, lights and ornaments! We did not have any trouble with him trying to take it down.

These are the results !

Christmas Tree Hunting!!

We took Logan to get his first Christmas Tree on December 5th - he was not really that into finding the perfect tree but we took pictures to commemorate the occasion!

Here you go ...

Thanksgiving in Oklahoma

We left Fresno on Friday, November 21 for a week in Oklahoma with Steve, Laura, Zeb, Andrea, Colton and Sawyer! It was a great time. We got to do a lot of eating (Steve's favorite sport), visiting and laughing. It was so fun to have the kids together ... they had a blast. Colton is a funny little man and all over the place - his favorite thing it to go on jeep rides. Sawyer is a quite little guy and you almost forget he is there because he is so quite and content - he really is just a happy guy with his two middle fingers in his mouth!

Logan was in heaven playing with the boys and being spoiled by Grammie & Papa King! He also got to see Andrew's Grandparents from Michigan - it was the first time they had seen Logan and Sawyer.

We went to caves in Missouri one day and then to the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield! WOW - my first trip to a shop like that. Andrew had so much fun looking around and dreaming.

The best part of the trip was being with the Family and just visiting. We miss them so much! Here are pictures form the trip ....

I Need an Assistant.....

I realize that I am a HORRIBLE blogger and have not updated the blog in over a month (almost two) but in my defense I have been running around like a crazy person. In an effort to catch you all up be ready for the happenings of the King Family ....

Scootin' Around

Our little guy has had a busy few weeks! He has started to become much more mobile!! Logan has the army crawl down pat ... and is getting into everything. Here are a few pictures of him. Last week we had some mommy - Logan time with Cousins Joni, Allie and Andrew! As soon as Joni gets me the pictures I will post a few or you can view Joni's blog. We went shoe shopping and I finally found some that fit his double E wide foot (thanks Grandpa Steve). The next day we went to the Zoo - Allie had a blast and could tell us all of the animals and the sounds they make. Like I said earlier I am the Slacker mom who left the camera in the car so Joni took pictures and as soon as she emails them to me I will post them!

Bob Marley Baby with his new kicks!!

What a Happy Little Guy!
A giant CHEESE Ball just like his parents!

Lobster Anyone????

Logan was a lobster for Halloween and had a great time. He came to work with me and brought the girls in the office cookies and we took a field trip to maintenance to show off the great costume and give them cookies too. He was a great lobster and loved his costume.

After work we went to Eric & Erin's house to hang out with them and the boys for Halloween! The boys all had a great time, Robert was the trick or treat master and handed out candy to everyone that came by. Robert was a cowboy with a horse, Brice was a monkey and then our little lobster! A good time was had by all!

Back from the Fair

Okay -I know we have been a little out of commission for a few months and I am super sorry for that (I'm pretty sure the only ones who check the blog are Joni and Jessica). Now that the Fair is over let me update me on our lives!!

Logan took his fist plane trip to New Jersey to see Uncle Teddy play FRESNO STATE in football - it was a great trip, Logan was amazing on the airplane (as predicted he was easier to travel with than Andrew). We had a blast with all of the Family and New York was simply amazing, we decided that when we go for another game that we will stay in New York and take the train to the game. By the way the was when Fresno State was winning -

Logan went in for his 6 month check - he is in the 105% for EVERYTHING!! What a healthy boy! He does not miss any meals!

Fast forward a week or so and unexpectedly we got to see the King Family from Oklahoma - everyone was out for a brief day or so for a family thing - it was great to see Steve and Laura but even better to see Zeb, Andrea and the Boys! They are both so cute - there are pictures of the three boys! It just got Andrew and I excited for our trip to Oklahoma in November.

This brings us to the middle of September when I started working like a mad man! All I can say is kudos to Andrew - Dad extraordinaire! He did an amazing job and I was able to focus on work. The Fair went exceptionally well - Stacy & I kept looking at each other trying to figure out what we were forgetting - come to find out it was nothing! We are just getting that good at our jobs! My mom came up for a large part of the Fair and was a huge help! Thank God for Grammie! She brought Logan to the Fair each day she was here so I could see him because I moved to the Fair September 30th. All in all everything was great this year and Andrew, Logan & I all survived!

Andrew had his 30th birthday during the Fair - you know you are old when you get a battery operated grease gun for the tractor and you are so excited! He has not used it yet but i know he is ready to!

My Dad's birthday was last week and we went to the coast to surprise him on Saturday! It was a fun trip, our 2nd child Cassie went with us so it was a full car. When we have another kid we're going to need a bigger car. Logan got to play with Grammie, Papa and great grandma Carolyn. He also got so see GG and Great Grandpa King while we were there! Joni we went to Tortilla Town Sunday - WOW!! it was yummy! I have been craving it all day!

Logan got to take pumpkin pictures last weekend at the ranch - check these out - definitely the cutest kid award!!

I will try to be better and update everyone with the Crazy King Family Life weekly! Joni is coming over next week so I am sure we will do something fun and I will have pictures to show!
