Life in Logan

Matt and I LOVE being back in Logan. There is something every day that reminds us why we love it so much up here. 

We get to hang out with Jenny, Randy and the kids way more! We got to see Brad and Randy play in their softball/baseball games. We get to go on dates with Randy and Jenny. We also get to practice softball with Randy every week (which is when Randy got hit in the face with a softball and had some serious problems). I love that I can be around to help out, like when Jenny and Randy were in the hospital and we got to watch the kiddos.

Harrison is the happiest baby ever! It is so fun to make him laugh.

 
We live super close to Bear Lake! We got to go up to the Hodges cabin for the fourth of July this year and it was nice not to have a really long drive.

Again, more playing with the kids. Jenny takes the kids every week to a different park around the valley with the other families in their neighborhood. The kids are perfect subjects for me to test out my new camera on! (I took these pictures before reading my camera manual... Give me a break! It's 250 pages long!)

Cache Valley rednecks! Matt and I went to the demolition derby last week after it rained like crazy. It was really muddy, which meant it was extra fun!

We love it here!

Expert Tile Installers

Matt and I had the "opportunity" this week to help Randy... okay, we did most of it... install his tile floor in his basement. Matt brought me along to be the helper and we spent about 10 hours working on this floor! It was fun to be around Matt while he is working and it was fun to learn all about some of what Matt knows. He is so smart! By the end of the day, our bodies were tired, we were covered in mortar, and our hands were extremely dry, but the floor was put in. Now all that needs to be done is grout! I am so happy that I could help and so proud of Matt for being so awesome.

On our way home, Matt is sitting very quietly in the car and he looks over at me and says:
I have grout in my nose.

Fishing

We have probably a million pictures of us fishing but it is still fun to take new ones every time we go. This week Matt didn't have to work so we went up to Deer Creek Reservoir with Matt's mom and dad, our nephew Brad and Cassie to do some morning fishing!

Matt's dad recently bought a new boat (it's a "fishing boat" though, not a "ski boat") and Matt has been out several times on the boat to go fishing. This was the first time I have been out on the boat since Diet was cleared after his back surgery. They bought two trolling poles and are working on perfecting the art of trolling. I enjoy being on the boat, but think trolling is a little boring. Brad got a little antsy while we were fishing because trolling is well... boring. Sitting and doing nothing while holding a fishing pole isn't as fun as casting the line and reeling it in hundreds of time. However, we still had a lot of fun. Cassie caught the first fish, and her two fish were the biggest of the day!

Brad caught four little fish and had his fun just messing around with the poles and eating snacks.

I didn't fish, but I sat in the boat and held the pole when Brad got bored... does that count?

Matt being... I actually don't know what to say.

Unfortunately for Matt, he got skunked! It was funny because he was the most excited to go fishing and tried the hardest to catch a fish! Hopefully we can find some good fishing up here in Logan so Matt can redeem himself!

Big Green

Big Green had a fantastic spring season! We won all seven of our regular season games and then got way screwed over in the tournament (I'm not going to go into it... Matt is still pissed about what happened). Lucky for us, we still have the summer season that starts on July 9 and we'll play another seven games. I never remembered my camera so we had to take our team picture with my phone after our last game. Again, lucky for us, all of our team members were there!

My New Year's Resolution

Every year I set the same New Year's resolutions, because when you don't accomplish them in previous years you have to continue the same ones. Well this has been my resolution for five years now, to finish my monster quilt. I started it a year after I graduated from high school and finally I have finished the top! I know, technically I'm not even done yet, but I am totally counting this resolution as being crossed off!

The Difference Between Men and Women

So Matt was out of town all week last week and left me home alone, so I started watching Friends from Season 1 again. This episode is in Season 2 and is just a funny reminder of how different we really are:

Post Lake Powell

When we finally got home from Lake Powell, this is what we come home to:

 The bar in our closet ripped out of the wall while we were gone!

Matt finally cleaned out his car from six years of working out of it... this picture doesn't even show everything he pulled out of that beast!
