Baby Push Ups


Logan entertains Jack in ways that I would never think of. These include baby torpedo, baby push ups, and many other random activities. What's amazing is that they actually work in calming him down and making him happy (I'm referring to Jack not Logan). Baby push ups are Jack's favorite. He always looks so proud to be soaring high above us.

12 hours on the road and still alive

We did it. We successfully went on a snowboarding trip. I thought my snowboarding days were over with Jack being born in December, but we managed a trip to Sundance so the tradition will live on. We took Lafe and Madee and their funny little friends Colby and Jana. It was a successful trip with no injuries. I only fell once, but for some reason felt it for days. It made me feel old.
Jack and I are suffering from Ricketts so we decided to get some vitamin D and join Mysha, Ella, Kym and Rylie for a little sun and duck feeding. Jack enjoyed the ducks so much he fell asleep.
Logan and I also took Jack later in the week for some duck feeding. What can I say, we love ducks.
Logan went with some classmates and professors to Boston to present his research at a Engineering conference; my mom and I decided to do a little road trip to visit Staci and the boys in Colorado. Say what? Talk about a boring 9 hour drive. My favorite part was the diesels. I forgot that three month old babies don't like being strapped down for 7 hours at a time, so after Jack's first break down, we decided to take the trip a little slower and take breaks. Our drive home totaled 12 hours. Ugh. It was a wonderful trip overall though, with highlights such as the butterfly pavilion, swimming, a dinosaur park and Texas Roadhouse! Well worth the drive. And again, I've included endless pictures of Jack. Lets just say I'm making up for the fact there are about three blurry pictures of me as a baby.
The boys

The girls
Jack's excitement over the ducks.

Kym chasing after Rylie. He was constantly trying to dive in the lake. Haha.


Will and Adam with the glove puppies I made them.

We made the boys butterfly hats for the museum.


Jack loved his.




This moment goes down in history. Staci and I share an almost life-altering case of arachnophobia. (perhaps it has something to do with the fact that our dad made us watch the movie Arachnophobia as small innocent children). We both decided to face our fears and hold the museum's friendly tarantula Rosie.

I couldn't look. I later had the tarantula crawl on Jack's face to make sure he doesn't grow up with the phobia too.



More Ducks!
Runner ducks are our favorite. They are so tall, it feels like they should have arms. They remind of the Seinfeld when that lady walks without swinging her arms.
Again, Jack is thrilled to be there.


Just chillin.











Just for the record I don't make Logan pose. I just ALWAYS have my camera near by.
