August Re-cap

It’s been a while since I’ve written, and August was full of fun and adventure!    We started the month with family and friends in town for Zoey’s blessing:

We tried to take nice family shots, but there were so many funny ones I’ve decided to post those instead: let’s just say Logan had a hard time sitting for pictures…

This is my favorite picture of Logan and Zoey.  Recently he’s learned her name and is starting to call her by name. :)

Logan got to celebrate his birthday twice this year, which means I got to try my hand at two different cakes… race car track and a train!

Which meant he thinks all birthday’s are for him, so when we celebrated his dad’s birthday a week later he thought it was for him too… so we gave him a little cupcake but he liked dad’s cake better!

We had so much fun with cousins, aunts and uncles!  I took too many pictures but here are some of my favorites:

After a blessing, family visits, trips to the zoo & aquarium, hiking, camping and celebrating birthdays, we are pooped!  August was a lot of fun!!

Our Future Missionary

Logan found my mini scriptures and he was so proud of them!  He carried them around all morning, our next step: appropriate missionary attire!! Smile

Aquarium

We went to the Denver Aquarium, wall to wall of gigantic fish tanks!  Logan was absolutely fascinated…

My favorite part is the glass tunnel:  fish, rays and turtles swimming around you on all sides and above.  The rays like to swim up to the top of the tunnel and then slide down, pretty entertaining to watch.

Logan was also fun to watch…

Zoey didn’t do any watching at all…

At the end we fed the stingrays, put a little fish in between your fingers and stick your hand in the water and wait for them to eat it!!

The stingrays get really friendly when they know there is food, they were reaching up over the wall, so much fun to experience.
