October Recap...

I am well aware that November is already half over (where did it go?) and I am still posting things from October. I am always behind, so it is nothing new. I know it is surprising that there could actually be more photos than what I have already posted from last month, but there are! Here are some of my favorite random pictures and moments from October. The first part of October, we made our last trip of the year to the little zoo near our house. We have loved being able to spend time there since we moved here. My good friend Melissa and her little boy Ryker came with us and the kids had so much fun! He and Logan get along so good and have a good time together!

Rylee wanted to be one of the boys and climb and do everything they did
All three kiddiesI think the highlight of the day was feeding the fish and ducks! The kids love that every time we go.Little monkeys at the monkey cage!This is Logan with his new Wingo car that he got for staying dry ALL day! I was so excited about this accomplishment...but since then he has stopped trying to go! I am not liking potty training! Every morning I ask Logan if he wants to try underwear for the day, or sit on the potty and he tells me "no thanks. Maybe tomorrow." My pediatrician told me it needs to be his choice, but how long is this going to go on? Today I asked Logan when he thought he might try underwear and he said, "Maybe June"... Great! There is something to look forward to...

We also really enjoyed some nice weather in October and took the kids up the canyon one last time. They loved running around. We were supposed to feed the ducks, but we forgot to bring bread. They threw some crackers, and then some rocks...Logan loved throwing things into the riverRylee running around...One day last month, Rylee pulled out all the dressups from her closet and the kids both loved wearing them and playing around!

To Infinity and Beyond!!! Logan likes jumping off of everything when he is Buzz...and actually Rylee is pushing him off!

Rylee loves her Princess dressups!

Logan's Buzz gloves make a nice touch to her outfit, don't ya think?Rylee is so funny with socks lately - I have no idea where this came from, but she puts all socks on her hands and says "puppet" and makes it talk. This is the first and really only snow we have had so far! I was pretty worried when it was snowing already in mid-October, but it didn't stick or stay around. I am pretty happy that it has held off for so long, although Logan is dying to wear his snow hat and go sledding and build snowmen. I do hope we get some snow for Christmas but we have been really enjoying the nice weather.Logan put these goggles on and told us he was a pilot! I don't know where he would have learned that, but I thought it was pretty funny!
Rylee wanted her picture taken too. She always has to have a picture if I get the camera out...Here are Logan and Rylee modeling the hats we brought them from Texas. They look so funny in them!

This is one of the few times that Rylee did not want a picture!
Ry is so funny about going to sleep. She has to have this minky dot blankie, her 'Ore (Eeyore), and her sip and binky all just right before she can go to bed. Then when I get her after a nap, she has to take all of it down to the couch and lay with it until she wakes all the way up. She does the same thing in the morning, she has to take it all with her until she is ready to go, it is pretty funny!One of the days that the kids crashed out at the same time together on the bed! That is always a happy day for me! I finally have them on a similar schedule but it doesn't always go as planned...Grandma and Grandpa Webber stopped for a visit and brought some cupcakes and Rylee REALLY liked them! She was a mess! Of course, they let her have 2 and she only ate the frosting, so she was on a sugar high for the rest of the day!I tried Rylee's hair in curlers for the first time for our family pictures and her hair looked so cute! I wish I would have taken some after pictures! I thought she looked so funny with her curlers! She did really well with them and left them in which really surprised me.
We also went to the Aggie Basketball kick-off at the end of October. We ended up buying Basketball season tickets, too! I guess that football wasn't enough.... The team is really young and inexperienced, so I don't know if they will have a great start, but I think they will do pretty well by the end of the season. They have some talented players! Logan had fun at the game and after the game, he got autographs from all the players! He thought that was the best and loved giving everyone high fives. This is him and Gary Wilkinson who was picked as the Pre-Season WAC player of the year. He is doing pretty well so far, but we'll see.Here are my 2 huge Aggie fans with their autographed poster! I teased D that he should get one, too! Logan has it hanging in his room and he loves it!

Cheap Entertainment

I have been wanting to post these pictures for awhile, but I have been so far behind and working on other things, that I haven't done it. Anyway, a couple weeks ago, my friend Summer invited us over to play in the leaves in her backyard. She had raked them up into a huge pile and we had so much fun! It was an all new experience for my kids and they loved it! My kids always get excited to play in Summer's backyard. They had so much fun riding bikes and playing in the hammock and the leaves. It is a fun place to play! Sky and Rylee are a little funny together - They are only a few months apart and they butt heads a lot, probably because they are a lot alike! It is a little funny to watch them fight with each other.

The leaves were great and I went a little camera crazy! (What else is new?) I took so many, so I made a slide show at the end of my post. Summer had set up a little slide that went right into the pile of leaves and it was a huge hit! The kids had so much fun sliding into the leaves! Logan also liked to run and jump into them yelling "CANNONBALL!" and he liked burrying Uncle Kyle! Rylee was so fascinated by the leaves and kept looking at them and loved throwing them. They got pretty tired of my camera and playing after all their running and jumping, so after awhile we went in for a little snack and some Elmo. I thought Logan and Sky were so cute - They were pretty into Elmo. Rylee was wondering around somewhere I think.

Most of the pictures are in the slide show, but here a few favorites!
My cute little brother Kyle - I thought this pic turned out pretty good of himThe whole group - Rylee, me, Logan, Summer and Sky! Thanks for having us over guys. It was so much fun! Have fun in Australia!

Logan's Fan Club

Logan finished his soccer season in October. He had a great time playing, even though he didn't really seem to like the games. He was always excited to go and he really liked warmups where he could kick the ball in the goal as much as he wanted without someone stealing it from him! My sister took a few good pictures of his last games, but I haven't gotten them back from her yet, so I will just post a few from my camera. Even though he spent a good deal of the game on the "bench" (he would put himself there since everyone plays the whole game), pouting, on the stairs, at the drinking fountain, standing on his head or on the floor as a caterpillar (really anything but soccer...) he really seemed to love playing and did improve a lot! He kicked the ball more and more each game and got so excited when he got the chance to kick it! His favorite part was kicking the kick off! He loved doing that and sometimes tried to steal the kick off when it was the other team's turn!
Logan's team with Coach Darren! Logan loved having his dad for a coach! I think it was a little more work than Darren expected coaching 3 and 4 year old boys but it was fun. Logan is the one showing off his treat.

Logan's team, The Cosmos! - There were also 2 little girls and 1 other little boy but they weren't at this game. There are Matthew, Logan, Abe, Justin and Ashton. Our little soccer star!

This is the way Logan walked around for a good portion of the games - A little bit pouty! The lighting in the gym is awful, so all my pictures are pretty dark....
He looks really interested in the game, right?Waiting for kickoff - Logan is the one who looks like he is picking his nose...at least he's not the one sitting on the ground...(this time!)
Logan loves doing the cheers!Logan also loved getting in his uniform and wearing shinguards for all his games! One of the times he was actually running for the ballI think one of the things that kept Logan going back was the treats! He LOVED that part and was always so excited at the end of the game for the treat!!!

Logan had quite the fan club at some of his games! He loved having people come to watch him and everyone who came thought it was so hilarious to watch the little kids play - especially Logan and all his antics! Here are some fan club photos!

Logan and his #1 fan - Mom!!!

Logan and his Coach - Dad! Darren might have been a little partial to his favorite player!

Logan and another big fan - Rylee! She loved going to the games...as long as I had plenty of treats for her. I think she would have loved going out and running around, too. She didn't cooperate very well for this picture, but she did like watching Logan and clapping and cheering!Logan and Uncle Dean and his girlfriend, Laura - They made the drive all the way from Salt Lake to watch Logan play and they laughed the whole game! It was so fun to have them come - Logan loved it! Thanks guys! Aunt Vanessa was also at a few games and took lots of pictures for me, but for some reason, I never got a picture of her and Logan...Grandma and Grandpa Boman also made a 1 hour drive to watch one of Logan's games. He was so excited for them to be there and I think the entertainment made it worth the drive for them! Ry wanted a pic with Grandma and Grandpa, too.
Logan and Uncle Kyle - He LOVED having Kyle there, and Ky got to be the "assistant coach" (or assistant to the coach for all you office fans...)Both of my Grandma's (Logan's great-grandmas) also made the trip with my mom and dad. It was so fun to have them there! We love being closer to our family so that they can be a part of all of these little things with us. We are so blessed to have such a supportive, loving family!
