Suzi's visit

two of my favorite things - ice cream and gorgeous eyes!
another fav of mine- Emily sleeping!, sweet Cody chillin', Owen
And of course, when Auntie Suzi comes, Emily must wear a pair of her sunglasses!!
Suzi, Cory's sister, and I at the end of a great visit!! Notice the fantastic hair job- Suzi colored and cut my hair!! I still love it, thank you Suzi!!! Thanks for the delicious spinach and artichoke dip - yummy!!!, and the fun thrift store adventures...(if you want to see a funny video of the kids, go to sidebar of family and friends -Suzi and Kevin - Adventures in Logan post) And if I ever get my computer and camera to work at the same time, together, I will add more pictures - until then... beware, I may steal some pictures from your blog!!

Welcome September!

Autumn is my favorite time of year! I love to see the hot summer go and the anticipation for winter is exciting for me (mostly because I love scarves)! I love the changing of tree leaves (makes me miss Michigan - WOW!) and when I am old and rich, I will be an 'autumn bird' instead of a 'snow bird' and my second home will be somewhere with lots and lots of beautiful trees!!

Autumn is also nice to get more of a routine in our home...school does a lot for that! I can't believe still I have a child old enough for preschool- wonder what is like when she goes to "real" school. Emily is doing great! Her language is about to explode- she is now pronouncing b's and p's! She is such a friendly child and catches on quickly, even as the youngest in her class she is right there with them. Owen is getting so big - literally and figuratively! He says Emily all the time for things he wants...I am not sure if he thinks she will get it for him or if I say Emily too much so he thinks its like the word please?! Its cute either way! He is going up and down stairs pretty well and can open the fridge- bummer for Mom! The other day I found a few toys in the fridge!!!

Cory is still in Colorado but only two more weeks to go!! Hallelujah! He has learned so many different things but is happy to be coming home soon too! When he gets home, he will be getting a job and finishing up his turf management program long distance. I'm sure the ward will find something to put him to work doing- they gave me the calling of enrichment leader. Yes, again for the 3rd time- obviously, I am not learning what I am supposed to or I am just really good at it! (haha, I think its to develop my non-existent crafty side)

Well, we took forever to fix our computer screen which was actually cheap (Thanks Dad for the referral!) but now our disc reader is acting up - I really was going to post a bunch of pictures but sorry! I hope all is well for you and yours! We feel grateful for the opportunity to live each day and be so blessed with a fantastic family!!


ps Congratulations Kristina on delivering twins today!! Rosilee (6# 3 oz) and William (7# 6oz)!! I am superstitious/selfishly glad I didn't get pregnant this year - my brother's wife also delivered twins in June!

Update!!

So...its been almost two months since our last post! But what can I say- I don't feel too bad because I haven't had the internet (or desire to post until now)!!

Kaylynn, Emily and Owen have been in Logan now for 2 months and Cory has about 5 weeks to go in Vail to finish up his internship. We are having a great summer, all things considered :)

Emily went to a summer session at her new preschool and did so great! She loves school and we can already see improvement in her listening and verbal skills! Owen is growing so huge! He is semi-running, with a slight wobble, laughing, babbling and loves to play with Emily! They are both helpful with cleaning, laundry, dishes and even cooking when I do that ;) Emily starts school again on the 24th and Owen will have me to himself again.

Cory is learning new things and making good contacts for the future career. We get to see him every other weekend for 3 days now so that is pretty exciting! Kaylynn is now serving as the enrichment leader in the ward and is having fun organizing and invovling all the sisters in activities; and is learning a bunch more crafty-artsy stuff!!


Thank you to all our friends and family who have really helped out and given us support during this unique time for our family! We love you!!!

Beautiful Logan

We found a great apartment in Logan...if you want the address please email me at kaylynnfw@yahoo.com (I don't really want to advertise to unknown people:) We are leaving Ephraim on Wednesday so I will have a few days to get situated before Cory comes for his biweekly visit. I am excited to be in our own place and look forward to getting familiar with a new town. I have heard so many great things about Logan - whenever someone hears we are moving to Logan, they always say how beautiful it is there. I think I am ready to be settled...I wonder what that will feel like?
