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!

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 ....
