COOKIE!

Might as well use all those beautiful teeth to bite into something yummy!

6th Anniversary

On August 17 we celebrated 6 years.  It's been a roller coaster; kind of crazy, but I'd do it again.

We decided to celebrate by taking Chapter to his first movie, Planes, and then eating our traditional homemade shrimp alfredo.  YUM!

Chapter really didn't care a bit about the movie, but that's most likely because we don't let him watch TV, so basically he doesn't know how.  He was really good though and went to sleep about halfway through.

I got Logan a frame for his professional engineering license (WOO-HOO!) and Logan got me a package of Sharpies to try to ease the back to school withdrawals:) Logan also makes me an anniversary video every year, but probably not this year because we have almost no pictures with us in them.  Guess that's what happens when you're baby is so much cuter than you are:)

10 Months

Chapter turned 10 months 3 weeks ago.  To celebrate we took him to Cedar Breaks on the wildest stroller ride I hope we ever go on.  Logan kept repeating, "I swear this was paved when I was little." But it was really an adventure in bushwhacking our way through stickery wilderness with a stroller.  Yeah.  An adventure we'll never forget, and never repeat!

The big news is that 2 days after taking these pictures, Chap started walking!  Wow has my life got a lot more interesting:) Love this baby boy!

Washer Scare

My washer is practically family.  When we moved to St. George 5 years ago we got an apartment with it's own hook-ups.  It was pretty much my dream up to that point:)  But we were short on cash so I started scouring the classifieds for the perfect set.  I finally found it.  It was listed in a yard sale ad that happened to have a phone number. My beautiful set of  mid-1990s Maytags were only $125 if my memory serves me correctly.

This is a magical washer.  Perhaps I love it more because it was so cheap, or perhaps because it is a super capacity, or maybe it's our sticker collection on the front, but this is probably my favorite piece of machinery, second only to my car.

Well it started to leak:( I was terrified as Logan nearly completely dismantled it.  But as usual Logan was able to fix it and all it needed were two new 98 cent hose clamps. Hooray for a few more years!
