Trip to Utah, September 2010

Hud, Logan and Ellie trying to figure out how to milk a cow!

Logan rearranging all the chess pieces...it felt that they shouldn't be on the chess board!

At Box Elder Country Fair

YUMMY Fair Food!

Having a blast with cousin Hud

And trying to help the Dad & the Uncles

Buried treasures in the hole in the backyard...long lost grill been buried for probably 10+years!

Hard at work!

Logan playing with a train that Brent played with as a kid...so cool!

With the cousins!!

Grandma Franks' Cabin-- Colorado, September 2010

Since I'm probably never going to catch up...here's a ton of pics from the last 6 months with quick captions!  Hopefully I'll remember what we did!

Before we moved to Austin in September we had a few weeks to kill after Brent finished with his job in Fort Worth, so we road-tripped up to Utah to visit the fam and stopped off in Dolores, Colorado to visit Brent's grandmother & had a blast!

View from just up above the cabin; it's absolutely beautiful here. Hopefully we can make it back every summer!!  We haven't been here to visit since before we were married 8 years ago!

Taking Logan up the hill behind the cabin to search for Daddy's old tree house!

The tree from that held Daddy's old tree house (we think).

learning to grind corn in Mesa Verde

Mesa Verde...Brent visited here every summer growing up...cool place!

Back at Mesa Verde with Mom!

Logan is DONE at Mesa Verde

Grandma Franks works for the "Galloping Goose" in town and we were lucky enough to go on a "shake down" run before the train festival.  It was about a 3 hour round trip ride & Logan LOVED every minute of it.

Everytime we came to a crossing the train blew it's whistle & Logan waived to all the onlookers... I think there were at least 20-30 Crossings!!

And what better then to get to walk on the tracks.

Not wanting to take pictures.

LOVES Grandma Franks... especially because she work at the "Galloping Goose"!!

The boys with Grandma



Saying "all aboard"

One quick smile!

Visiting the pipe people in Cortez...really cool.
