Texas Longhorns

Logan got a phone call yesterday. We were accepted to Texas at Austin. Not only that but with Scholarship! We are quite excited about this. We think Texas would be fun. Its supposed to be quite outdoorsy and friendly. We have heard good things. Here are some quick facts about Austin:

The official state mammal is the armadillo. This is one reason alone to choose Texas.

Population: roughly 710,000 people.

It has been on all sorts of "best city" lists

172 parks and 9 wilderness areas

You can get an apartment starting around $600. (as opposed to many of the other schools we've applied to where rent starts around $1300 and climbs up from there)

The Cache County Fair

I forgot to do a post about the Cache County Fair back in August. The fair is one of our favorites, we love dumb animals. And it turns out Jack loved them too. We had a good look at the chickens, bunnies, cows, and pigs, but by far our favorite was the pigmy goats. I have got to get me three of these little cat sized goats.

At first Jack wasn't so sure about the goats....

And then he became friendlier...

And then a little too friendly.

Chickens!

Sister Sister

My sister came to Utah for a visit a couple weeks ago. She even drove 5 extra hours so she could come to Logan and stay with us before heading to Gunnison. It was so fun to have visitors! Our 3 days were short but stuffed with activities. I tried to think of all the things that make Logan great so we started off with feeding the ducks at First Dam and eating some Famous Aggie Ice cream on campus. We headed up Green Canyon that night to roast some marshmallows. All three boys were ridiculously dirty at the end of the night. Thats what little boys do best right? The next day we went to Willow Park Zoo, always a favorite. Somehow Staci and I managed to do a quick mini photo shoot of the boys later that day. And that evening enjoyed some grub at the Beehive Grill. Our main motive for going there was kids eat free, but it turned out being quite tasty. I introduced Staci to Project Runway and Chopped and Adam and Wills loved playing with Jack's toys and going on Duck walks next to our house. It was so fun and they are more than welcome to visit again!

Seriously, this goose could straight up eat Jack in one gobble.

Adam wasn't afraid to get dangerously close.

Look at that wind up for an awesome bread throw.

Jack has got some crazy white hair these days. Not sure what to do with it.

Jack's favorite toy- wheels.

Playing in the front yard. More wheels.

Green Canyon.

So dirty.

At the zoo.

This was our first shot. We were not off to a good start.

Tuskies!

I was filtering through my 10000 pictures of my sister's visit to Utah and I came upon these. Oh Adam, you are one of a kind. How we love you...

Duke

After months of filling out applications and writing essays, Logan is almost finished applying to Law School. We have applied to 10 schools and have 3 more to apply to. We got a response from our first law school, Duke. Accepted! We probably won't know where we are going for many more months but its nice to feel like we are finally making progress. Way to go Logan!

A few quick facts about Duke:

Located in Durham , NC

Population: 270,000

Temperature ranges from around 50-90 degrees

There are a couple beaches about 3 hours away

They can't even push shopping carts without crashing into the aisles. I hope this video works..
