A couple weekends ago we went down to Provo to visit some friends. Morgan's buddy and his wife just had their first baby, so we went to visit and then we went to visit our other friends that were ready to have their second baby any day. Morgan's friend lives on BYU campus and around the apartments they have little playgrounds and Logan was just dying to go on the slide and play. So we went and played for a while and the kids had a blast. It was a perfect little playground for toddlers.
And I even remembered the camera. I was going to take some pictures of the new baby, but forgot until we were at the park, but at least I did get some pictures of my own boys these past couple weeks.
Logan has a lot more fun on playgrounds now that he is a little more brave. He'll actually go on the slides without any encouragement now and doesn't wait until the last minute.
He still has a weird fascination with pine cones. On one hand and at certain times he's absolutely petrified and won't touch them, but will make sure to point them all out and wants you to hold them for him. And other times he'll actually pick them up. I think you can tell by his expression, he's just not sure about this one and is ready to put it down. :)
My boys love being outside and the crazy weather lately has been, well, crazy. One day it's beautiful weather and warm and sunny so we go outside, the next day it's snowing. Sheesh! We're taking advantage of the good days though.
Damon is so happy and loves to climb on things and try to do whatever Logan is doing. It's making me feel like Damon is growing up a lot faster than Logan did.
Logan has quite the imagination and lately is really into imaginary food...despite his lack of appetite most of the time. And oddly enough, whenever he is "sharing" food like this, it's always broccoli, or carrots, or tomatoes, or grapes, the only one of which he'll actually eat is grapes.
Logan had a blast when Morgan was chasing him around the playground and down the slide.
And Damon is going to be the happy, lovey, peacemaker of the house. He's always ready and willing to give loves and kisses and makes you feel so good when he sees you and shouts Mama, or Daddy with so much enthusiasm.
He's pretty good with slides, but sometimes still needs a little push. He doesn't like the twirly ones as much because a lot of times he gets turned around and ends up upside down at the bottom.
The boys love bathtime. We've been breaking out the foam letters again and Logan was sticking them on Damon.
Damon actually liked it and tried to put them on himself.
He's such a funny little boy.
His favorite letter right now is "B" Anytime he wants us to draw something, the first thing he says is "B" and then he gets really excited when he sees it.
And on the home front. I'm glad we haven't finished the basement yet because it flooded again....
I called our warranty people and was expecting a huge runaround and trying to get out of it and lots of garbage, but they had someone out to the house within a couple hours to look things over and had a plumber over that afternoon to fix it. There was a little bit of blockage in the main drain which could have been caused by multiple things, some of which is that a lot of debris gets washed down there during the construction of the home, but the main thing was that our expansion tank on the water heater was busted, so the water heater would build up pressure at night and then when we would use it in the morning it would do an emergency drain so it wouldn't explode from all the pressure (that's what the expansion tank prevents and regulates). But I'm grateful for the clogged drain, because if the drain wasn't clogged and backed up when it tried to drain all that water we wouldn't have known there was a problem. Luckily the plumbers had a replacement tank and everything is all fixed and ready to go and I only had to make one phone call and it was all taken care of. So, that's pretty much life right now. Until next time.....

Cute boys! We'll have to play when we're out there next month. Donovan is getting better at playing with other kids so I think it would be really fun. Maybe we can get MeChel and Makenna in on the action too! I'm glad you got things fixed! Hopefully you won't have anymore floods!
