It's been a very busy week. We were only in Oklahoma for a few days, but I guess we'll still consider this Oklahoma Adventures. :) Since Morgan was done with his first semester (he got all A's by the way, he's such a smarty - he worked really hard for it too) we decided to take a couple weeks and visit our families in Utah. We decided to leave on Thursday morning at around 5:00am, but on Wednesday night we still were packed and I was going pretty crazy and went in to stress mode, but of course it was all for nothing because we were able to get packed and get everything ready. I guess it was just the fact that I had to work that day, Morgan ended up having to work and had a Young Men's Activity that night, and it's hard to get this sort of thing planned and packed with a squirmy restless little boy. :)
But he's just oh soo cute!So, we started out at 5:00am on Thursday morning and the weather was perfect for driving. We had clear roads and clear skies all the way until about 45 miles before we hit Green River, WY. We were planning to stop there and have dinner and visit my brother and during the day we thought we might even be able to make it all the way to Utah, but we were really glad we got to spend the night we family, the snowstorm was pretty bad and after being in the car for 15 hours, we were ready for a break. We got into Utah on Friday about noon and didn't have any problems on the road. We took the rest of Friday to just relax and re-couperate.
On Saturday night we had the "Big" Hadlock Party, not just Morgan's brothers and sisters, but all the aunts uncles, etc. It was really fun. This year it was out in Tooele and there was as always, great food, great fun, & great family. It was so good to see everyone! Logan did great with the crowd and joined in the fun. He was so happy to see all his cousins and aunts and uncles.
Unfortunately, I'm having some technical difficulties in uploading the pictures, so I'll have to do that later. (whew, finally the pictures are working) Anyway, we had a pinata, and Santa Claus showed up and we just had a great time seeing all the family.
After the party we headed over to Morgan's brother Stan's house to watch the BYU Las Vegas Bowl game, man that was intense. The first time all the guys cheered at the game Logan cried and got scared, but after that when he knew what they were all yelling about, he joined in the fun and bounced up and down on my knee and clapped his hands and babbled his cheers.
He was also quite entertained with one of his cousin's remote control cars, I think he watched that thing go across the floor for at least an hour with no complaints (now we know what to get him next Christmas, hehe) - I do have a picture of that one for later. After the game we came home and crashed. Logan is still being a picky eater and not eating enough solid food throughout the day and then wants to nurse all night. I hope it's just all this excitement of the travelling and new things because I sure miss my nights of rest. ahhhh, memories. We still love him though, Morgan and I are trading off and if he's not hungry and just fussy, he'll get up with him, but if he needs to eat then I get up. So at least we're getting some sleep. Alright enough of my complaining - although if anyone has any good ideas on getting him to eat better, I'm all ears.
Since our next blog won't be until after Christmas we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and hope that you are all healthy, safe, and happy. Until next week....

I don't know what to tell you about helping in getting Logan to eat more solids but to just keep trying everything until he does it and until he figures out it is a good thing. I was lucky that both the girls are such good eaters and usually only don't eat well if they are sick. Hang in there and keep at it so he knows how important it is.
