Logan's Banquet 2009

I wanted to start with a picture from last years Jr/Sr banquet. Logan and Anna have been together for more than a year.
Here is Anna trying to figure out how to put on the boutonniere (looked up the spelling) . . .

Anna's mom to the rescue

Aren't they a good looking couple?


This is Brandon, one of Logan's best buds

And here is Logan and Stephen, another best bud. Now, in this picture you can't tell but Logan is tall (over 6''), but Stephen makes him look less than average height here.

Here is the whole gang . . . please don't ask me their names as I have no clue

The boys being boys

Snowmen

Not sure when this happened other this winter. Just goes to show you're are not too old to make snowmen. That's Logan on the left (age 17) and Grant on the right (age 16). Not sure where Grant's gloves are . . . thinking he may have joined in toward the end

Christmas 2008 - Steve's family

This is Christmas Eve: Grant, Steve and Logan, Sue and Amber and at the bottom is Leyla
I like this picture because if someone told me that one of the boys was messing with the other in a picture I would have guess it was the other way around. Good shot G!

Ahhhh, now we see how Amber didn't seem so short standing between her younger brothers!! looks like 4 inch heels on those feet.


Looks like Logan was left out of a joke . . .

Celebrating their 22nd Christmas as husband and wife


Those of you who know Steve can imagine what he did or said to result in this!!!


Um Amber . . . what planet did you get Makala?

Christmas morning . . . next year will be a third large picture on the wall of Grant's senior picture.

is the box too small or the cat too big?

From Jackson

Sunday 2/8/09: Today I am 5 weeks old and Mom went back to work. To make it easier, Mom and I spent saturday night at Aunt Robyn's. Mom started to feed me in the morning but had to go so Aunt Robyn held me while I finished the bottle. Then I returned the favor by giving Aunt Robyn a dirty diaper to change (but not as bad as yesterday :) ). After that I just chilled in my little portable swing then fell asleep. Well, I learned later that while I was sleeping, Aunt Robyn went outside to work on the ice in the driveway. But wait, she checked in on my every 10-15 minutes. I started fussing so she put my out on the couch with more room to stretch . . . that's when she took this picture with her phone. Once I woke up (after a 3 hour nap) I ate again then we went to see Mom at work. She was missing me . . . of course - how could she not? To help her not miss me so much I spat up on her a bit :) When she changed me she was impressed that Aunt Robyn did a good job with my diaper!! I don't know why, even though Aunt Robyn doesn't have any children of her own she watched my cousins like every other weekend, partly raised my mom and has a lot of friends with children. Anyway, we then stopped to visit grandma so she wouldn't have any Jackson withdrawal. Got back to Aunt Robyn's and was both hungry and tired and didn't know what to do. Passed out after less than 1/2 ounce. Up again after 20 minutes and finished the bottle then back to sleep. People don't believe Mom when she tells them I am a good baby, now Aunt Robyn can vouch for her!!! I'm not sure how long I am going to stay that way though ;-)

Here's Jackson, passed out after nursing!!



I finally uploaded the rest of the pictures from my camera . . . bought a card reader that goes into the USB . . . pretty cool. This is a video I took the night Jackson was born. He kept sticking his tongue out.
