Pregnancy Moment...

About 30 minutes ago we were watching the Discovery Channel and the commercial came on where they are singing to "I Love the Mountains" and they changed it to say everything they love about the whole world and about shows that are on the discovery channel. Well for some reason, this really got to me today, especially when they said, "I love the whole world, boom-de-ya-da boom-de-ya-da boom-de-ya-da boom-de-ya...." Yeah, I got all teary eyed and started crying. I like that commercial butreally the world that we live in is amazing, and we are so blessed to have such a beautiful planet. So anyway, that was my freaky pregnancy cry for the day.

Mom's having fun... and Starting a TAG!!!

I have been looking at my friends wonderful photography blogs lately, and it inspired me, to pick up my camera, and give it a try. I didn't last very long, because it's a lot harder to take pictures of your own kid, especially by yourself, and Logan is just too busy to try and focus every shot, but here are a few....I know, I'm a little rusty, but I'm getting there! Thanks for the inspiration Niki and Heather......
So now I am starting a tag, to take fun pictures, and edit, or do what ever to them you want.... let's see what you all come up with. I'm tagging Emily, Niki, Heather, Alisha, and Chira. Let's see your creative sides! I know you have them!
Here's Logan's "Chair" series: (I know there's a repeat, but I couldn't decide if I liked it better in black and white or color, so I put both!)




And here's Logan's naked bum in his little pool:
Logan grabbed the hose in this one and just started spraying his bum, it was pretty funny.




That's pretty much it, but it was really fun. You all should do this. Even if you're not a 'photographer' or whatever, try to be creative in the poses and styles of pictures. It's fun, well at least I had fun with it, and I hope you do too!

Logan's Black Eye

The last week of March, Logan got his very first black eye. We were having a picnic in our backyard on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and Logan was playing with his T-Ball stand. He ran over it and fell right on top of it and it somehow poked his eye really bad. Here's the pics. He wouldn't sit still long enough to let me take a very good picture, but here it is, in it's healing stages. It took a full week or so to get rid of it!

Brian and Trisha's 3 year anniversary

This was a while ago, but I haven't uploaded any pictures to anything yet from this trip, so I thought I'd blog about it.
Last year, in October, for our 3 year anniversary Brian and I went to Sedona, AZ and a few other places 'around the area.' (I put that in quotations for the story to come... Grandma and Grandpa Grover, and all the other Grovers in the area babysat for us, the whole time! We stayed in a resort provided by my wonderful sister Tammy, who totally hooked us up! So we started the trip with an amazing dinner at this Italian place, that Brian just LOVED! The whole town of Sedona is just gorgeous, so one day we decided to go on a hike. It ended up being more of a strenuous hike than we had wanted, but it was still very pretty.

We also went to La' Auberge for breakfast one morning. It was actually this really pretty resort with individual cottages right by the creek. We had world famous macadamia crusted french toast, and stopped to take some pictures there, because it was so pretty. We ate right by the water and had an amazing view.


One of the full days that we had there we wanted to go see the Grand Canyon, because neither of us had been there. Well, we heard that it was only about 2 hours from where we were, so it would be a perfect day trip. So we left with what we thought were good directions. A few hours had gone by, and apparently a few wrong turns here and there, and we realized that we were in the middle of no where. We stopped to ask for directions, and they told us even more wrong directions. So we just kept going down this road that was leading to no where, and then all of the sudden something starts looking familiar to me. We had been driving for about 6 or 7 hours by now, and then we finally saw a road sign that said "Welcome to Lake Powell." We ended up all the way at Lake Powell, almost the complete opposite of the Grand Canyon. It was funny, (a little) and we stopped to look around, and then turned around. At this point I just wanted to go back to the resort, but Brian was determined to see that stupid canyon. So we finally bought a map and actually ended up at the Grand Canyon a few hours later.
The view of the Canyon were absolutely beautiful. We got there just before sunset, and here are some pics:



And here's Brian trying to freak me out and "fall"into the Grand Canyon. He was seriously trying to rock climb down into it and I finally just had to walk away from him. I took this picture, and I was seriously shaking and had tears in my eyes.....it wasn't funny!

Oh yeah, I don't know if any of you heard about the little girl that just fell into the Grand Canyon, just walked off into it and died, well, that happened a week before we went here. Luckily we both got out of there alive and intact, and finally headed back to our resort.
We had a nice dinner and just relaxed the rest of the time. It ended up being such an amazing trip overall, and it was a great way to celebrate our marriage of 3 years now! We are so thankful to everyone that made it possible for us to go, and we love you all! Oh and by the way, we stopped by the outlets at Anthem on our way back to Phoenix, it was fun! :)

Logan's Swim Trunks

A few weeks ago on a Saturday, Brian got a little blow-up baby pool and he took Logan out there to play. I was gone all day, for a "Trisha" day, and I came home and I saw Brian's swim trunks and Logan's Infant sized (0 to 3 months) pants hanging over the shower curtain. I picked them up and saw that they were dirty and majorly stretched out. I thought.....there's no way that Brian actually put those pants on him today, no way. Then I asked Brian about it. He said, "Yeah, I thought they looked a little small! His belly was really hanging out, and even his love handles, but I just thought he's growing so fast so we made it work..." So I find out that Brian put our almost 2 year old in his newborn pants that don't even fit his little 6 month old cousin anymore. I thought it was pretty funny. So yesterday I put the pants back on him for a picture. Enjoy!!! :)

Our trip to San Diego!!!

Two fridays ago we left to San Diego! We stayed with Brian's family, and Jordan (Brian's brother) generously gave up his room for us the whole week! We just went out to visit with Brian's family, because we don't get to see them very often. Plus Brian just needed a break, and what better way to relax, than to be at home with your family? We went on a picnic at Lake Poway with Brian's parents one day, and we had a blast there! It was so nice and beautiful there. We also saw a lot of the places that got burned from the wildfires, which was sad. We went to the Wild Animal park and we saw the lions! It was really cool, because we got to see them right up from and all that was separating us from them was a glass wall. The daddy lion was huge, and then there were 7 cubs that were only a few months old and then there was 2 mommies. I thought the cubs were so cute from far away, until I saw how big they were up close...... not so little. They were about 3 times the size of Logan! It was really cool though!
Here's Logan and Meaghen on the Carousel at the Wild Animal Park. He cried every time we took him off!


We went out with Brian's parents one night to see Leatherheads, and then we went out to dinner. Meaghen (Brian's little sister) babysat for us!!!! We had such a good time with them, and it was so nice to spend time with them! I (Trisha) got to hang out with Tiffany, and it was sooooo good to see her too. We mostly just hung out with the family for fun, and just enjoyed talking and being with each other. Logan was so happy to be there because of the Meow (cat) and the Dochhhhhh (Dog). Brian and papa also got him his own shishy (fish) for their tank! He named it "Shark." By the time we left, Logan had renamed Meaghen to Mimi, and Jordan to Juju. He loved being there and loved all of them! We left on Saturday, and we had such a good time with them. We are so thankful to have such an amazing family, who loves us and we love them so much!
