Our last month continued.....







Here goes for the rest of the month....
Logan Allan was blessed this past Sunday by his Dad. We were able to have some family in town for it which was so nice. My sister Kathryn, lives right outside of Salem and so her family came as well as my second sister Cheryl, and her family. Most of Wayne's family live elsewhere and so they took the opportunity to come home for a weekend and so we hung out with them as well. We went to the beach on Saturday, which was a lot of fun. And then that night, we hung out with my fam here at our place. We ate pizza and had a great time all together. It was crazy though, with so many kids running around. What are we going to do when ALL of the grandkids are here!! Wow.
After church on Sunday, both families gathered together for dinner at G and G Brown, which was fantastic. It was so nice to have both families hang out together.
Thank you so much for such a great weekend. We feel so blessed to belong to such great families and appreciate all the love and support they always give us!!

Our last month


Well, I have been a huge slacker and haven't posted anything in the last month. I know you are all anxious to see pictures of Logan and I am sorry that it has taken so long to give you more!!! But I am going to highlight the past month as there are a few things that I want to share. So, here goes. At Logan's 2 week appointment, he had thrush and so they gave us this medicine that turned his mouth purple. We thought he looked like a gothic child or something. It was pretty funny.
June 11th....our 3rd anniversary. I feel so grateful for my sweet husband who treats me so well and is incredibly thoughtful. I love you Wayne. I couldn't ask for a better companion and friend.











Wayne is just about to finish up the recruit academy this next week with the Salem Fire Department. He has been really enjoying his time and is very happy with the new job. We find out next week where he will be stationed at for at least the next year. We are very excited.
We have also been house hunting as my Mom will be home soon from her mission.....I can't believe it. We aren't that picky about where but are very excited to find one to call our own. Jackson is so much fun lately....he is saying so much more and just loves life. Here are a few fun pics of him lately.

Gotta love Utah!!



This past week we flew to Utah for David Myer's wedding in SLC. It was so nice to get away for a few days and see friends and family as well as be there for the wedding. Wayne and David were good friends growing up here in Salem in the Pringle Ward and David didn't know that we were coming, so it was a nice surprise. David has a brother that is working in Jerusalem right now and also surprised his family in the temple actually. What a special surprise that was for everyone.
We arrived Wednesday night and went out to dinner with some of my old roomates that I lived with in SLC. It was so great to see them and catch up as I haven't been the best at keeping tabs on everyone. Thank you so much girls for a great evening.....I just wish we could do it more often!!!
We totally enjoyed everything with the wedding festivities on Friday.....the sealing was really special and then the luncheon was great that afternoon. Art and Sierra (Wayne's brother and sister-in-law) took care of Jackson while we were in the temple which was so nice. That evening we went out to dinner with siblings as it was actually Wayne's 25th birthday, so we wanted to do something for him on his day. I gave him his presents before we left so he didn't have anything to open on his day......he was such a good sport about it all. Love you babe!!
Saturday we went to the Hogle Zoo which was awesome. Seriously, it was so fun and all the kids loved it. We got there early, which was nice because by the time we were on our way home, it was so crowded. But it was a very fun afternoon with Art and Sierra and Brandon and Michelle. Thanks guys.
Sunday after church we all took naps, which was awesome!! We had dinner with family again and then came back to hang out with my cousin, Trent and his family. Thank you so much Trent and Ashely for opening your home and being so good to us. It was great to see you!!!

Cirque Du Soleil



For my birthday this year, Wayne got tickets for us to go to Portland to the Cirque Du Soleil. It seriously was amazing. I wish I could of taken pictures inside but it wasn't allowed. I know there are a lot of Cirque Du Soleil shows...this one was called Corteo and was performed in both English and French. We didn't follow the actual story line very well but the different performances were just incredible. It is one of those things you just have to see to completely appreciate. Thank you Wayne for such a fun night out. I love you!!!

Easter


I know Easter was a couple of weeks ago, but I still wanted to post a few pictures from an Easter egg hunt we went to....
Jackson had a great time.....after he got one egg, he was completely content. I have a feeling that next year he wont feel the same.
Mollie Knapp offered some chocolate to Jackson and he became her best friend!! It was a fun day, even if Dad had to work and couldn't be there.
