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.

Uncle Steve and Aunt Donna with their family

This was taken at the hotel after our dinner together. This is almost all of Uncle Steve and Aunt Donna's family. We were just missing the youngest of the family, Chloe. She was a bit young for this day of emotions. This was the day of Grandma Peggy's funeral service. She instead was at Disneyland with her babysitter. What an amazing family!

FAMILY

These were all taken at the hotel as our family got together after Grandma Peggy's funeral service. It was good to have family so supportive of each other at this time. We have an amazing family and I am happy to be a part of it. Top to bottom are Grandpa & Grandma Burnham, Dad & Mom, Uncle Jim and Aunt Audrey, and last is Uncle Dave and Aunt Marily (the baby of the family).

Logan being held and loved by cousins

Logan is just amazed by all these girls! "Why do all these girls want to hold me?" "Oh, they are my cousins." Lauren and Cassidy are Logan's third cousins in the top two pictures and of course anyone who knows me knows Taylor, which would be Logan's first cousin. It takes three girl cousins to feed him his bottle. They all wanted to be the one to feed him so this is the three of them sharing the love. These were all taken the day of Grandma Peggy's funeral service when we all got together after the service for dinner at the hotel.
