Trick or Treat 2009!

We went over to the Whiteside's for Halloween & all the boys had a blast! Logan dressed up as a tiger (thanks to mom for the awsome costume), Samuel was Cpt Jack Sparrow, Mason was Cpt Hook.

There was a haunted garage across the street that Logan couldn't wait to get to...when we got there he just stood oustide & stared!

We actually got all four boys looking at the camera at the same time!!!

For a split second!

Trick or treat!

Logan wanted to check his bucket after every house!

Mason as cpt hook!

Going straight for the tire!

Logan actually walked by himself for most of the night...he only caught a ride with dad at the very end!

Exhausted!

Time to explore my booty!

Time to eat my booty!

I think I'll just shove it all in at once.

we turned around & Logan had Mason's pirate hat on...i don't know if he put it on or one of the other boys, but it was hilarious.

yummy sucker!

Time for a break & candy...this trick or treating thing is exhausting!

More candy please!

Pumpkin Patch in Argyle

We took Logan to a pumpkin patch this past weekend. It was a gorgeous day & Logan had a blast...and of course there was another train ride!

Inside the haunted mansion waiting for our train ride...logan was mesmerized by all the decorations!

His had is reaching out trying to touch the train!

Dancing in front of the haunted house that had music playing!

climbing a haystack...you don't get to do this everyday!

brushing his hands together to get the hay off!

too cute!

loved pulling & riding in the wagon...we're gonna have to get one of these for home!

Disneyland & California

Logan and I headed to California for two weeks to spend some time with my family. We didn't have much going on in Fort Worth yet & I was still waiting for my hygiene license to go through so we took advantage of our down time. Poor brent was a lonely bachelor for a couple weeks (or should I say lucky brent).

While in California we got to go to Disneyland. Logan unfortunately didn't last very long because it was the day after we arrived in Cali & he spent most of the night up crying! We still had a ton of fun & know next time to go a few days after we've been there. We also went to the Newport Beach temple & the beach with Merz & her friends visiting from arizona. Logan loved all the fountains at the temple & more than loved the beach & chasing the waves...he didn't even care that the water was freezing.

It was also nice to spend some time together with just the girls. We had a full afternoon of shopping together while dad watched logan...and we all survived. The next week we spent an afternoon getting manis & pedis & even managed to squeeze in dinner. We got a babysitter for Logan; but he never even met the babysitter...he napped the entire time we were gone! Megs is getting married in June so it was fun helping her with the invitations & getting to meet her great fiance. It turns out we went to middle school together...small world.

Logan's getting so big!

O-H..

signing "choo-choo". Every ride was a choo choo to Logan!

Perfect ad

Trying to get both boys to look at the camera. Never going to happen!

CALIFORNIA

Merz teacing Logan how to be "cool".

Logan with Sophie. Unfortunately while I was home we had to have Sophie put down because she was suffering from congestive heart failure. She was a little over 13years old and was the sweetest, kindest dog...she is deeply missed.

Mom continued to feed Logan's obsession with choo-choo's and made him a train cake.

Logan knew it was a train he could eat...loved licking the sugar off the train.

yummmm!

Logan came around the corner wearing one of erik's running shoes that he put on by himself. JT gladly helped him into the other one. Logan loved walking around in them!

Grapevine Wine Festival & Fort Worth Zoo

We've been enjoying everything that Fort Worth has to offer. In september we went to the Grapevine Wine Festival where we took a ride on the vintage railroad. Logan is obsessed with "choo choos" right now & got so excited when he saw the train. However, Logan is not into getting his picture taken...he can be full on belly laughing and as soon as he sees the camera his face goes blank or even worse he gets mad & ready to throw a tantrum.

On the train...close to a tantrum because the camera is out!


There was NO way we were getting Logan to look at the camera with the train behind us. His eyes were so big when we went up to see the train.

At the zoo...on you guessed it...a train!

We had to make a quick exit from the zoo because it started raining. Logan loved running through the parking lot in the stroller with his sucker & the rain coming down! Very content in the car making a sticky mess with his sucker that dad bought for him!

Our move to Fort Worth

I'm finally getting around to updating our blog...so here it goes. We made our 2nd move this year from San Antonio to Fort Worth in August. Brent's parents so generously came out to help us move again and we certainly couldn't have done it without their help. We were at least able to show them a little bit of San Antonio while they were out!

Logan managed to get an ear infection just in time for the move...that's why he looks so out of it in the picutres on the boat. I hadn't realized he had an infection yet (I felt terrible)! But he was feeling better in time for all the real action of packing the boxes into the truck...he LOVED the truck!

I feel right at home up here! Watch out drivers!

Our manpower!

Logan thought this was the best toy ever.

He's really bummed because it's under our dryer right now & everytime we go in to to do laundry he squats down to point at it emphatically!

Mom & Dad @ the Alamo.

Riverboat downtown

Logan licking the butter off of his breadstick @ rainforest cafe!

It didn't take us too long to get settled into our new apartment in Fort Worth because this time we left most of our stuff in boxes & I'm not putting any decor stuff our. It's kinda sad because our walls & everything is so bare, but on the other hand there is pretty much nothing for Logan to get into so he has free reign of the house! We figured we'd probably be moving into a house in the near future, so it didn't make much sense to unpack everything just for a few months.

Quick trip to Utah

We finally made it back to Utah for a very quick visit. It's been waaaaay too long since we've been out, but Brett might be leaving for Afghanistan soon and we wanted to be sure to see him while he was on leave. It was great to finally have Logan meet all of his aunts, uncles & cousins. He had so much fun staying at grandma & grandpa's and we can't wait to get back for Christmas.

Hudson & Logan goofing around.

Only 6 weeks apart: Hudson has a great mop & logan is still bald!!

We tried to get a picutre of these two sitting together...they were obviously not as exicted about it as we were!

Loves playing with daddy.

The kids actually wanted to keep getting IN the playpen!! I was shocked.

FAMILY PICTURES

The entire family (except for Reid...photoshop?)

Grandma Franks, Mom, Dad with all the boys.

The girls are slowly starting to gain some ground in the Rigby Family.

Grandma Franks, Mom Rigby with all the grandkids. I was amazed that ALL of the kids are standing still AND looking at the camera.

Meredith comes to San Antonio!!!

We were so happy to have Merzy come out to San Antonio to visit the other week. We took her to the Alamo & Riverwalk, the Children's Museum (for Logan of course...), the pool & even managed to get some packing done. Here's our pics:

We totally don't look like sisters do we???


Standing by a big gun...

The Alamo was PACKED! It was waaaaay to hot to stand in line outside with Logan in a stroller, so we settled for just a picture of the outside & toured the grounds.

Logan enjoying the sites in luxury.

Our favorite part was the riverboat...Logan loved being on the boat. This was by far the best way to see riverwalk on such a hot day!

Merzy wins an award for beautifying San Antonio!! :)

Logan was loving having someone in the backseat with him to cater to his every whim.

We got to go to Alyssa's for some very delicious dessert & visit. Logan though Livvy was hilarious on the phone.

Before we went to the Children's museum we stopped for smoothies for the ride. Logan knows exactly where Jamba Juice is & as soon as we pull into the shopping center he starts signing juice. He loves his little jamba sippy cup too.

They need to make the sippy cups insulated b/c after about 5minutes his hands turn into icicles. Merzy had a great idea of slipping a couple socks over the cup.

At the Children's Museum with Auntie Merzy

Merzy's already getting him ready for outdoor adventures!

We're in Texas now...giddyup!

Ready to join the FFA!

Or maybe he'll be a scientist.

Cutie.

Now, we just need to entice others to come out & visit!!!! :)
