Logan Trip - April 2011

Even though our Anniversary isn't until May, we always celebrate it in April during Kevin's break between semesters. We had to make it a quick trip this year, between Pinewood Derby and a ward activity that I was in charge of so we decided to go to Logan. It was so nice to get away!!

We got to do some sight-seeing, go to a movie, and just relax. We stayed at the beautiful Providence Inn. The Inn originated with the "Old Rock Church" that was build in 1869. In 1926 a wing was added on that became the inn and the church is now used as a reception center. The whole building and grounds are beautiful. The service and breakfast were wonderful, too.

On the morning that we left for home we took a jog around the area and looked the many historic homes there. It was a much needed break and a great way to celebrate our 13 years of marriage.

Must. Catch. Up.

I know, I'm way behind on the blogging. I think I've only posted once this year. Let's play a little catch-up.

February - Meghan as Betsy Ross
I got to try out my almost non-existent sewing skills when Meghan needed to dress up as Betsy Ross for a report she had to give at school. I only made the mop cap and apron and was able to find the skirt and shirt at DI.



March - Pinewood Derby
Anthony has been obsessed with cars since birth. He has wanted to make a derby car since he was four and has know exactly how he wanted it to look for years. Luckily my dad has every tool imaginable and was willing to let us use them all. Anthony is also blessed to have a dad who is very artistic and could outline the flames so he could paint them in.

Meghan's 11th Birthday Sledding Party

Meghan had a sledding party for her Birthday this year. After about an hour of sledding the girls came over for pizza and hot chocolate. It was a fun day.

We love Meghan so much. It is hard to believe that she is already 11. We are so proud of her.

Winter Wonderland

Kevin made a really fun snow cave/sledding hill in our backyard. It has provided many hours of entertainment for the kids and they even spent the night in the cave. Since I have trouble staying warm indoors I volunteered to sleep inside so I could hear John if he woke up.




You can see Johnny sitting on top of the sledding hill that is behind the cave.

Holiday Fun

We had a good time making reindeer cookies together, even though we probably ate more M&M's than we used for baking.






The kids made graham cracker houses.








Johnny loves Buzz Lightyear!
