Lets DO this

So I'm a little behind - ahem - ok, A LOT behind.  But I'll try.  I was even going to put them in order of when they happened....then they uploaded in a different order - so not doing that any more.


This took us at least a good hour - but by the miracle of time-lapse you only have to endure 13 seconds of it.

James turned 5 - I was pretty proud of the decorations - that I bought at the store.  Ha

I even wrote on the cake - we are pretty low key for birthdays

James started playing baseball.  It was pretty intense for a 5 year old.  He was the youngest on his team.

I couldn't believe all the gear they had to bring on their own.  When I played we all shared the same helmets and bats.

We have a guy in our ward who cuts down trees.  This is him cutting down our big one in front

Logan LOVES to dress up - this will be proven by the photo evidence provided below

The knight

Wrestling is pretty much a constant here

Throw back photos.  I was cleaning out on my my memory boxes.  This is one my treasures.  Sure do miss him.  

This was also a photo that HAD to be shared.  It takes a lot to make your hair into a geometric shape. 


James was distraught because he couldn't find the penny he had been playing with in the tub.  We pulled Logan out to look for it.  LOL. 

Logan trying out the Lego box, hook and gun look

The boys found some of my bras and thought they were so funny

Did I mention that Logan loves to dress up?

James trying to dress like James (Boppy)

The elephant

I made some stuff for our ward auction (I craft like once a year)

I took third place in our ward Chili Cook-off this year 

Family home evening song leading

More baseball and this photo makes me a little sad because he looks so grown up

I got called as the personal progress leader in the Young Women.

Taking the firetruck kite for spin

Lots of waiting and watching at brothers baseball games

James had a 50's style dance at school and I got to help

These kids had a 7:00 game one night (7 is when my kiddos are usually in bed)

James created this outfit for Logan


I got my hairs cut
These two came up with this pose on their own

Logan started preschool

THE BEACH

THE BEACH

WE LOVE THE BEACH

Our picture of the Blood Moon

James at his fun run

Fun Run running

These two are like carrots and peas and oil and water

Sara and Stephen get married

We took an adventure to this awesome tree house

Looking out from the tree house

James at this point LOVED birds - he is now into dinosaurs

James and his preschool teacher Ms. Debbie

My birthday dinner.  Its a burrito Grande and I ate every bite.

James school picture

I cleaned out/up our ward maintenance closet for a YW project. I was pretty proud of my work  

Our neighbors tree fell and it became the perfect rocket ship

Major bubble in the tub.  So fun.

A salamander and a snail

Our little neighborhood party in the rain.  Love all these kiddos.  

He did this pose all on his own

Baby frogs the boys found at the church

Walking to church with dad.  So fun that you can do this in Utah.  If we walked here in Alabama it would take us 3 hours and 6 minutes....according to google.

Cousin fun

We ran a race and broke the stroller we were borrowing 1 minute before the race started.  Oops.

Logan's medal for the race.  He ran the last .25 of the lap of the race

Crazy hair

This is James as "light man"

Uncle Stephen is the coolest

And aunt Sara is too

Cyndi took us to see Beauty and the Beast at the Tuacahn 

The Wrights took us boating and Uncle Jason even let James drive.  He loved it.  

Mud fight at the freezing Springville "beach"

This was a true gift from above.  These two sat by each other and slept the whole way home on our second flight

Playing with the neighbors, in the rain, in the gutter, in the pool.  Isn't this what summer days are all about

One reason why I don't like to take the boys to Lowes or Home Depot....when I'm in a hurry is this.  They have to ride on every single lawn mower.  

I jumped off this pole at girls camp.  It was AWESOME

He turned into a "three-nager"  



Ropes course.  Stretch Logan

More dress ups 

Checked out the aquarium in Georgia.  It was so cool.  They had 4 of these big guys 

This is a dragon seahorse.  

We were in a small accident (rear-ended) and got this car while the van was getting fixed.  This is pretty much James dream car.  He cried when we had to take it back. 

James reading to Logan - I love it when these 30 second moments happen. 

Logan's best friend, Batman

James and Logan on James first day of school

First day of school

Headphones that don't work - check, goggles- check, belt - check, suspenders - check, hat - check, Lion silk -check, ipad - check.

Super Captain Transformer (intense)

The perfect cucumber holder

I helped decorate for our ward talent show

Logan's school

We usually don't take the boys out to eat - for some reason it increases their crazy mode by at least 50%

We replaced our back door

We replaced our kitchen floor - we replaced our minds.  AHHHH

James taking batman for a ride in the jeep

Logan using is costume as a pillow.

I think that will have to do.
