On the Road Again

We made another quick trip down to Logan this weekend. This time it was because Bill's younger sister, Tina, was visiting from Albany, NY with her 10-month-old, Andy. Sam and Andy became fast friends and had a ball together!

We were even able to fit in a trip to the Logan temple Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning we woke up to a foot of snow, so we packed up and hit the road in case it got worse. Once we were out of Logan, the roads were fine and we made it back by the afternoon and didn't have to stop once! Sam slept the first two hours and we kept him busy or eating the other 2 1/2.

It was a quick trip, but so much fun!

Be Our Guest!

We had a full house this weekend. My parents drove up Friday afternoon since my dad had a meeting in Bruneau, ID Saturday morning. Sam was so excited to see them and was thrilled that both Grandma and Grandpa were willing to read to him!

We all had dinner at my sister, Ann's house that evening.

Sam was in heaven playing with his cousins, Cael and Whit.

Then our friend, Nate, arrived Saturday afternoon and stayed with us and visited some other friends of his in town.

By Monday morning, everyone had gone and the house seemed very quiet. Sam had a ball with all the visitors. It was a great weekend!

I just thought this was cute.

Too Pretty

We took a last minute trip to Logan this weekend. On our way home Saturday afternoon, from Logan through Benson, UT this is what all of the trees looked like. They looked so beautiful with the sun reflecting off the frost that I couldn't resist and had Bill pull over for a few minutes to snap some pictures.

Gorgeous!

Big Boy!

Sam just had his 12 month check-up. We got thrown off a bit after our move to Idaho and are behind a month. He now weighs 20 lbs, 6 oz (10th percentile) and is 30 1/8 inches (40th percentile). He's pretty much just like his dad, long and lean.

He walks pretty well when we make him, but he still prefers to crawl or cruise along holding on to the furniture.

Saturday afternoon we went up to Eagle Island State Park. It was pretty deserted, but looks like it will be a really fun place for spring and summer.

We went for a little walk along the river, but it was so cold, we had to cut it short. We'll go back when the lake and water slides open up!

My sick boys

Well, 2010 did not greet us very kindly. New Years Eve was fun enough, but the next morning was a different story. Sam still wasn't back to himself from the week before, but it was Bill who really took a beating. Poor guy looked like a walking corpse. We spent pretty much the whole day resting.

While I didn't love the extra diapers I had to change, I did enjoy how cuddly Sam was while not feeling well. He's never been a big snuggler, so it was so sweet when he just wanted to lay on my tummy and rest. I was in heaven!

Here's hoping that the rest of the year perks up!
