Oklahoma Adventures Week 13

October 28th - November 3rd


This week has been filled lots of fun. And it started off with...a mess. :) We're still getting the hang of all the solid food and we were in the living room watching a show while I was feeding Logan and I wasn't paying attention and didn't have a good hold on the food container and SpLaT..peaches all over the carpet.

Logan of course played innocent...who me? He likes to have a variety of food and he's getting better and better at eating every day too.

Last week I had him in his bouncer play toy and there was a glare coming in from the outside window in the office and when he would move or bounce, so would the glare. He was fascinated by it and I was fascinated by him being fascinated. :)

So, Morgan's birthday is coming up on November 13th and ever since we moved..well even before then, he's been wanting to get a good hiking child carrier for when we go hiking...(I'm thinking when are we ever going to go hiking in Oklahoma, it barely has any hills)..but that was what he decided he really wanted for his birthday. So we bought an early birthday present for him because crazy as it sounds, we had plans to go for a little hike in a "canyon" in Oklahoma, I'll have more on that later, but here is The Buddy in the backpack, he wasn't too sure about it at first, but I think he got the hang of it.

"Okay Dad, I'm ready to go, where are the mountains?"

Our next adventure this week was Logan's first Halloween. We looked and looked for a cute costume for him, but in the end decided that we should just get a little outfit for him. So we got him a onesie with pants outfit and some bright orange pajamas, this way we get a little more use out of them instead of just one night. Next year we'll get a costume and maybe even do some trick-or-treating.

We were all ready for the trick or treaters and bought a ton of candy and ended up with only one knock on the door...sad, I know, but oh well, now we have lots of treats...actually that's not really a good thing. I can't wait until all the candy is gone. Morgan took a big bowl to work with him and Logan's been helping us eat some of it.

Although, I think we've all had a little too much junk food the past few weeks. Oiy!

We also had some visitors from Utah this week: my parents! YAY! It was so fun to have grandma and grandpa here to play with and we're so sad that they had to leave today, but we're definitely looking forward to visiting all our families over the Christmas holidays. We had a great time playing cards, watching movies, taking naps, and even eating out.

We even went hiking on Saturday and used the backpack for real. We took a little detour to the Hinton cemetery (thanks to bad directions from mapquest), but eventually found our way to Red Rock Canyon and it was beautiful. It actually made us feel like we were back in Utah a little bit..slightly..sort of...well at least there was elevation change in the canyon, and hiking, and red rocks, and rappelling, so it was a nice taste of the outdoors and we'll definitely be making more trips back there. It was exactly what we all needed to finish up our great weekend.Whoops, wrong backpack. There we go, much better! Mush daddy mush, yah, yah, forward march.

We even found some fun swings.This little guy is going to love the great outdoors, just like his mommy and daddy. We had a great time hiking and Logan loved it. We are very glad for that too because we like to get out and hike and play outside. I hope you all had a great week and a great Halloween and until next time...

...keep smiling.
