Summer 2014



This summer has flown right by! I don't know if it's because the kids are in school and now we hold tight to these summer days not having to run around or if it's the fact that time is actually moving faster! We haven't done a ton but it's been busy and fun! The boys and I went up to Mount Shasta with my friend Heidi and her two girls for a few days, that was an adventure! It was really pretty up there, and we were able to walking around and swim in little swimming holes and hang out at the hotel, it was fun!


























Then just last week Ed and I were able to sneak away for 4 days and head over to half moon bay with Peter and Emily. It was a very nice break! The hotel we stayed in was really cozy, I could've just laid in bed all day and listen to the seagulls and the boats coming in and out of the harbor! We were able to just sleep in and walk down to get lunch and dinner and at night we played games and just hung out! It was awesome!








We ran into some car trouble :)

Us with the nice tow truck man!

Let's just say it was nice to be home :)

There was also Rylan's 5th birthday party in reno at the EZ Air trampoline place. The boys had a blast with that! And I can't believe he's five already! Oye!













Mason also lost his first tooth a few weeks ago! That was very exciting! And I took he and Waylon to their first dental apt last week and the Doctor said mason's got 5 more that are ready to fall out any minute! I was excited too that neither of them had any cavities!


4th Of July was another fun one! We went up to carson high school again and sat in the back of my car! Truman was in awe this year it was sweet, there's something magical and cliche about watching fireworks in the eyes of your kids, it's really fun.

They were pretending to sleep don't be fooled :)




Watching Cousin Joe's fireworks on the east coast while waiting for ours to start!


And then here's just some random pictures that I know I'll be glad I put on here one day :) they pretty much explain themselves though...

Looking so much better! Really enjoying this yard now!



















It's been one for the books! I'm sure I'm forgetting something but I figured this is better than nothing :) We've got two more short weeks before school starts back up, I can't believe it! Waylon's going into kindergarten and Mason goes to 1st... Time slow down!





Logan Reunion

Martin and Evelyn Logan
I just love this picture!

About a month ago we had a super fun reunion with my mom's side of the family! All of her sisters came up from southern California and it was such a blast! Leading up to it mom and I worked on all kinds of fun stuff, we made Logan Bingo cards, maybe a table cloth out of all old pictures her dad had saved. Blew up some giant poster size pictures that turned out super cute and all kinds of cooking took place! I really enjoyed being around her sisters more, they're all so sweet and really a joy to talk to. One of the nights we spent it at my moms brothers house in the foothills, we played around the world ping pong and a guess that logan picture game that was hysterical! Saturday we went back up for breakfast at danny's house and then the rest of the day/night was at our house. We rented a huge bounce house water slide and played corn hole. It was a blast! Not too mention all the fun conversations, hearing old stories and having a chance to talk with those we don't normally get to talk too. I was also able to spend some really great with my niece, she's such a joy and a huge help to me, I loved sitting around the fire at who knows what time it was and just talking to her! Lots of memories, it was an amazing weekend! So blessed!





I love this lady more than words could ever say!


There may or may not have been some cheating

End of the reunion... too much fun!
