ABQ TRIP

Perry gave me an early birthday present by taking our fam to Albuquerque Friday night. We had such a good time. After getting off to a frazzled start-we finally made it to Abq and had dinner at this awesome mexican restaurant El pinto.. It was huge (can serve up to 1200 people at once), and it was delish.. When we got to the hotel Per had some yummy chocolate dipped strawberries waiting. As you can tell Logan loved them too...

Maybe a bit too much....

The next day we went to the zoo/aquarium/botanical garden. It was such a nice day 66 degrees-and Logan was so fun to watch as she loved all the animals. I think she liked the giraffe's the most.. We got to the giraffes and she said Look Daddy!! Giraffes!!! They soooo big!!! The funnest part was watching her interaction with her dad all day.. She did not want to leave his side. It was cute to watch Perry explain to her about each animal and she would get so excited. I could tell she thoroughly enjoyed being with her dad. She is definitely a daddy's girl.

After we saw most of the zoo, we took the train to the aquarium, and gardens.

The aquarium was awesome. I was really impressed with all they had.. Sharks, jelly fish, rays, eels etc.. It was neat to see..As far as the garden goes, there wasn't alot to see as the flowers have not started growing yet..but we want to go back when it is late spring when everything will be in bloom.

After our long drive home from from Abq. This is how I found Logan.. Dead asleep with her blankie pulled over her head.. She is nut...

CACHE'S BLESSING

Cache was blessed this past Sunday. He was given a wonderful blessing by his father. He is growing and changing so much and we are so happy to have this little guy in our family.
I think he looks like a little man in his suit.

I can't get enough of his smiles...

Our best attempt at a family picture. (as you can see it didn't turn out so great.)

HAPPY VALENTINES

PICTURES OF THE DAY

Here's some pics of our Valentines Day (wanted a picture of my cute husband too-but he refused)

I love this guy...His smile melts my heart.

Made some cookies..Wish they would have been fluffier-but oh well.

Logan would have eaten all of them if we let her..(My mom made her cute dress..She also got a very pretty bracelet from pappy-but we took it off after church so it wouldn't get lost.)

Saw this cute tweetie balloon and coudn't resist buying it for the missy (2.99 at Walgreens!)

It was bigger than her and she loved it.

Hope you had a great Valentines too!

TRIP TO UTAH

Hello....Yes I am still alive. Having two kids definitely makes me more busy-and I have been out of town. Perry had to go out of town for work-so instead of sitting home alone I decided to make a trip to Utah. I was a little scared to drive 6 hours with two kids-but they did really well. Thank goodness for DVD players and a baby that likes to sleep in his car seat. My trip consisted of getting my hair cut/colored, visiting Annica (my friend), taking lots of pictures (especially 5th generation pictures, lunch at the BYU Dairy with mom-(tradition when I come to town), shopping-of course, and celebrating my sister's birthday at Brick Oven (mm..fattening pasta is my fav). Here are some pics of the trip.
All the cousins
Cache and Brindley (they are only a month apart)
I also got Logan's 2nd year pictures taken at Pennys. (I have decided I will get their pictures taken once a year around their birthday) In spite of being late, and Logan tripping and getting black all over her pants in the parking lot-they actually turned out pretty well. Amazingly she wanted to pose and smile for most all of her pictures. She is definitely a hit or miss on pictures-thank goodness this was a hit. Since I was there I had to get Cache's picture taken too-of course.

Dinner at Brick Oven. (Oh how I miss that place!)

Lauri was thrilled the workers made her stand to sing to her. Had a good time.. The End.
