Updates

Our garden has been a huge success! The corn and onions are beautiful and delicious.

Logan got his first pairs of "big boy" underwear. He likes to wear them on his head!

Aaaahhhh---I've been so busy the last few weeks, I haven't had a spare second to update the blog! I don't have the time or the energy for any witty remarks, so I'll just upload pics. Enjoy!

Packwood Trip

We decided to take a trip a few weeks ago to Packwood. I moved away when I was 8 and I've always missed it. We rented an awesome cabin and did a little hiking. Logan's favorite part was the pool. They have a great toddler pool that was just his size. He even kept his water wings on, which was miraculous. It was HOT, but a good time was had by all.

Ostrander Creek

It's hard to believe this serene creek can wreak so much havoc in the winter! We took Logan down to look for crawdads on one of the super hot days. Lots of fun, no crawdads...

Can You Bake Cookies in a Car?

Yes, yes you can! I read an article on the internet that said you can bake cookies on your car's dash if the weather is 100 degrees or above. Hmmm...fresh baked cookies while I work? Heck yeah! I ran to the store on my lunch break and picked up the pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough and grabbed my cookie sheet from home. Three hours later...warm, fresh dash cookies! My car smelled like I imagine heaven would smell and I had delicious cookies! It was a day full of WIN!! Also, since the cookies were cooked fully by solar power, the calories didn't count....being earth-friendly=no calories. Right? And, yes, I will go to bizarre lengths for cookies.

Fun with the Girls

We just love our girls! We let them out at night to chase bugs and run around. They don't mind being picked up or petted and they love to hang out in Grant's doghouse. He sniffs them, but never harasses them or anything. They aren't too sure about Logan, but he sure loves them. They are giving us 2-3 eggs a day, which is awesome. Fun times at the Engkraf Farm!

Zoo Pics

Logan had his first trip to the zoo a few weekends ago. I didn't get very many pictures, but rest assured, he had a great time. He liked the polar bears a lot, they were very active. We had some fun in the petting zoo until the goats started to nibble at my shirt. He got very protective and screamed, "Get away from my mommy! No, no goats!"

4th of July

Yeah, I know it's almost August. It took me awhile to catch up. Check out my holiday themed chips and salsa!
