Kansas City/Manhattan Trip

Our last trip of the summer has come and gone as I am in my last week of being able to travel while pregnant. We headed to Kansas City to see Jeremy's brother, Jon and his family and to go to the K-State/Missouri State Football game. Jon and Jeremy got to play some golf in their church's annual Golf Tournament on Friday while Katie and I had the boys all day at home. Jaxon and Logan are becoming good buddies and Jace will soon be playing in their mix a little more. We headed to Manhattan Saturday morning for the game. It was very bittersweet for me because it was the first time I had been back in 5 years and we were very limited on time. Unfortunately the volleyball team was out of town this weekend so I wasn't able to visit them but it was still so nice to be back on our old "stomping grounds" even if it was just for the day. The game was great and we really enjoyed being there. And it was a good win for our Cats!










Logan and Jaxon were inseperable most of the time.








And Logan and Jace managed to find the dishwasher. Those two love to get into everything!












Logan thoght he was Mr. Independent at the game and he wanted to go everywhere whether Mommy or Daddy were following or not.








The best family picture we could get. Logan just wasn't having it.

Pretend City

Last Friday, a friend of mine and I took our kids to this great place call Pretend City. It was so much fun because Logan actually had a blast exploring all the different things to do. It was basically a "Pretend City" built for little kids with a grocery store, restaurant, houses, cars fire station, beach, etc. We had a blast!

The day started out with some fun in his new cozy coupe from Grandma and Grandpa Wright. Notice the California license plate with his name on it. How cool is that!
The first thing he saw at Pretend City was the TRACTOR!

Omaha Trip

The last weekend in August we took yet another trip. This time we headed back to Omaha to attend an Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet for Marian High School honoring my 2000 State Championship Basketball Team. The event itself was wonderful and too short. There is never enough time at things like this to fully catch up with people. And for me many of the people that were there are some of the most special and influential people of my life. So to say the least it is a night I will treasure. While we were in Omaha we also got to visit my Grandpa as well as go to my Aunt Ginny and Uncle Gary's cabin. We always have a great time there and it was fun to take Logan there for the first time. On the downside we missed getting to see my Dad as he was working in Souix City that weekend. Dad we wished you could have been there.

New Baby's 4D Pictures

On Monday I had a 4D Ultrasound to get a look at our new little boy. Apparently Mommy just has no patience when it comes to getting as much of my boys as I can. ;) Baby #2, aka "Larry" was wedged up to my side so we didn't really get a face on view but it was still worth getting to see a profile of him. He was nice and content and from the looks of it has a lot of the same features as Logan.


This last picture is actually one from Logan's 4D Ultrasound. Look a little alike ya think? :)

Going To The Chapel!

This past week Jeremy and I went seperate directions as we each headed to different weddings in different parts of the country. Logan and I were headed to Charleston, SC for my cousin Angie's wedding and Jeremy was headed to Portland for our friends' Nick and Amber's wedding. And how was traveling with a 1 year old by myself you might ask? Well he did great considering he had to endure 3 flights across country and really was very good.







While we were in SC we had the opportunity to visit an old family friend. It was so wonderful to get the chance to see him again and we wished we could have spent more time with him. I was really happy he got to meet Logan.











We also got to spend an afternoon in downtown Charleston. I have never been to the east coast so to get a chance to see some of our own country's history was really neat and made me want to spend lots more time there. Everything about the are was very old and well kept. It was pretty awesome to see some of the homes that have been there since before the Revolutionary War.












Logan and Uncle Jack

Next on the agenda was a BBQ the night before the wedding at Angela and Matt's house. They had a beautiful home and it was fun to see Logan with some of his 2nd cousins.

It was really hot but at least we had the fans :)

And then came the rain! And boy did it ever. But they say God is in the rain so it must have been God's Blessing on Matt and Angela's Marriage!


Now we will switch over to Nick and Amber's wedding in Portland where Jeremy was.
Such a beautiful couple!




Scott and Karen

As you can see Logan is in this last picture and you might ask, how did he get there? Well to make a long story short Angie's wedding was on Friday so we were scheduled to fly home early Saturday morning. However, our initial flight out of Charleston was delayed causing us to miss our next flights. Therefore we were re-routed to Portland. What are the chances of that, right? Anyways we had had a very LONG day of flying already and still had a nearly 3 hour flight to get us back to Orange County. So Momma decided to do some finnagleing (that's a word right :)) and got us a flight the next morning so we rented a car and drove to the wedding. We made it for part of the reception and Daddy was very excited to see us. It will definitely be a trip I will never forget.
