Logan

We are officially mostly moved up to Logan. Although there is a rumor going around that we have sold our house, we have not. But if we all think good thoughts about selling it maybe it will happen soon! John picked a nice cozy apartment near a lot of great things. We are about a block away from the Willow Park Zoo and half a mile from a new WalMart. We must be moving up in life!

Madison loves to get into the kids' bowls after they eat. I try to get them put up before she can get to them but sometimes it just doesn't happen. When she can't get what she wants out of the bowl any more, she puts her whole face in and tries to get it, it's so cute.

Yesterday John took us up Providence Canyon to hike up to a waterfall. I forgot my shoes, so I wore flip-flops, and I made it up! John overestimated what Alexis could do while hiking and so it didn't go as smoothly as I think he'd planned it, but it worked out well. He carried Drew and Madison up and I helped Alexis. I forgot to bring their jackets so by the time we got to the waterfall they were all pretty cold. It was fun to get out and see what the kids could do and what I could do in flip-flops!

Yesterday I decided to make some home made bread for the first time. I thought it was going great until I realized that my bread wasn't rising, at all. So, today I put in some more yeast and water with sugar and honey. And amazingly, it started to rise!! It's amazing I know. But, the fun part was when I looked down and saw that Madison had gotten in to the flour bucket and dumped some on the floor! When Drew heard of this his response was: "I have to go put my hands in it too Mom!" You gotta love the honesty. I couldn't help but take some pictures. I wonder if it gives them the wrong idea though, my taking pictures of them being naughty and all. Well, Madison could not possibly just play with her hands, she decided that she needed to lie down in it and swim.

After dinner, Madison and Alexis ran outside to play in the sprinklers. Madison was of course naked except for a single shoe and a diaper. We strip her down whenever it is dinner time. She absolutely loved getting wet and running around nearly naked. Alexis didn't make it into any pictures because she fell on her knees and was in a lot of pain.

After dinner we loaded the kids into the bikes and took off. We biked up to Adam's park and played and then worked our way home. After all was said and done we'd biked 6 1/2 miles! I'm very impressed with us!

As a side note, I passed both of my summer classes with better than average grades! I am so very excited to be done with that six weeks of heck!
