Logan loves Whoppers!

Logan came over with Mommy and Daddy to Grandpa & Grandma's house for dinner last night. Since he couldn't have our spicy chicken taco's and burrito's Grandpa decided to see if he likes chocolate in the form of Whoppers. And he loved them. He ate three whoppers and Grandpa thought he might loose a finger. Logan entertained us all watching him go after that candy!

Our walk on our way home

We stopped at a little pull out on our way home and found a trail. So we took a short walk and found an amazing view. It is very nice to take the time to stop and enjoy the sights along way. Makes a trip out of town even better. Spending some extra time to just relax, enjoy God's beauty and appreciate each other's company.

Mt. Washington, Oregon

Here is a view of Mt. Washington. We stopped at the viewpoint on our way home. And also a picture of me :) at the viewpoint of Mt. Washington on hwy 20.

Sisters, Oregon

Bryant and I drove over to Sisters, Oregon. Where we spent the afternoon going through all the little shops and having a wonderful lunch. A very relaxing morning and afternoon.

All smiles for Grandma!!

Logan playing with his toys... and Grandma picking them up again and again and again......Logan thinks this is great!

Logan

Well, do you think he can get his hands on any more toys at one time? He was sitting in his bumbo on our dining room table while Crystal and I were making dinner. He loves his toys and was great playing and entertaining himself while we made dinner. He sure is growing up fast.

Jimmy & Natalie at the Oregon State Fair

Bryant and I went to the Oregon State Fair with Jimmy & Natalie. What a rainy day! Typical for Oregon. We enjoyed watching them ride the rides but we choose to stay on steady ground. We did enjoy the corn dogs and fries, no fair experience is complete without hand dipped corn dogs! And I loved the photography exhibit and my family spent a lot of time in there for me to see everything. Bryant even walked slowly with me looking at all the photos and discussing different ones that we liked. It turned out to be a nice day even in the rain. Sorry no pictures of Bryant and I, but I do have pictures of Jimmy and Natalie to share.

Dahlia Festival

Bryant and I went up to Canby, Oregon to the Dahlia Festival. They had over 60 acres of Dahlia's of all kinds of varities. Here are a few of my favorites. I have so many that it was difficult to narrow it down. I love flowers and wish I had a green thumb for growing some as beautiful as these. Maybe someday when I have the time to pamper them. We sure enjoyed the day looking at the wonderful varities they had and the beautiful arrangements as well.

Little Logan Smiles

Little Logan was all smiles as Grandma was playing with him after his diaper change. He loves his Grandma and Grandma sure loves him!

Sleeping Babies and Mommies

Sleeping babies after a long day. And this is what Mommies and friends do after babies are asleep. Line us for back rubs. I wasn't in that line so I was taking pictures. Looks like Crystal got the best position in this line. But they turn around and keep rubbing. Then switch it up even more so everyone gets each placement in the line. All while my adorable Grandkids are asleep on the beds.

Just some more family pictures.

Just some more family shots of us at the hotel in Bakersfield. Top picture is missing my husband....:( And Natalie with Grandpa Smith.

Family

Here is Taylor posing for me with her second cousin Leslie, with her Aunt Natalie and her second cousin Brandon. She sure loves her family and is a very special little girl. She has a lot of love to share with us and we all love her so much!!

GRANDKIDS!!!

Here are the three cutest Grandkids ever!!! We had to take turns on who got to hold Logan for the picture so I figured I better post pictures of each of them holding their baby cousin. Never a great picture of all three so here are some that between the four of them at least one picture is good of each of them. With smiles and looking at the camera; usually the Taylor and Jayden have a hard time looking at the camera when they are holding Logan as they want to look at him. And who wouldn't want to look at such a sweet baby?

Aunt Candi with her Logi Bear

Can you say proud Aunt? Well, this sure is one proud Aunt and she loves to be with her little Logi Bear, as she calls Logan. She sure misses him when he is home in Albany, Oregon and she is home in Bakersfield, California. But when she is with him it is nothing but LOVE. And amazing enough her own kids aren't a bit jealous of all the love she gives to their baby cousin. They know she has enough love for all of the special little ones in her life. What an amazing woman!! I guess the pride runs in the family... because I am one proud Momma.
