Summer

It has only taken half a century to update things...for some reason plugging in the cord to download photos is quite an undertaking.  Needless to say...there are quite a few months to update on and we have been having tons of fun.

First off...Seattle.  Went up there as my old roommates were going to be there and it was an adventure we wanted to do together.  The Public Market was super fun.  Logan got a wooden airplane I ended up painting from there that is hanging in his room.  

The boys proving where we're at

He LOVED Tayler.

It's funny one of the things I have learned about Logan is that as soon as he is embarrassed or shy but wants to be with a person.  He'll quick and point at something in the distance and start speaking gibberish.  If he does that we know he thinks that person is cool in his book.

Hit his head on the space needle and trying
to suck it in...he has the cool girl looking
at him...

Beautiful weather

Went on a tour of some interesting art.

Amazing colors...the only challenge through this was keeping
Logan from breaking or doing something we shouldn't.

The following is more random pictures of the summer...

Portland has a ton of yummy food trucks...so we had to
check it out ourselves.  Delicious fattening food.

The State Fair

State Fair- on a tractor.  He sticks his
tongue out when he's thinking hard.

Easter...he knows he looks goofy.

He knows what to do for a camera

Enjoying the nice weather at the park.

We went camping at Nehalem Bay State Park with the Keeley's.  We LOVED loved the boat riding and crabbing.

Jack mainly slept on the boat ride

these tough guys were in charge of pulling up
the crab traps...we caught several but were
allowed to eat two

Naomi lovin it

Logan was a little weary of the rocky boat
and all the kids were frightened by the crabs.

While we were waiting for our crab to cook...took some pics.

Trip to Utah

We loved out time in Utah.  We had so much fun doing so many activities.  The Jeff & Jessica and the two nieces were so much fun to spend time with.  Of course seeing Logan loves his grandparents and Uncle Jake.  There were so many other great moments not pictured.  We were too busy often enjoying our time. The last day we realized we had almost no photos.  There's probably so much more to say but Logan is pulling at me at this point...

Sorry...I was in a HUGE hurry with this blog and obviously bit more than I can chew...so hopefully the photos are worth a thousand words because I certainly have almost none to add for words.  2 year olds.  Let's see I've been prying out Sharpie's...tape...tubes of Hydrocortisone cream...keeping him from shoving a string in the fan he made work...it's a party.

Bottom line...we had a blast this summer.  End of story.
