Okay, so its been a while since we've posted anything new. We don't have too much new and exciting going on but here are our updates.
Seth is on Spring Break this week. Woohoo! I am LOVING having him home and we have done nothing but play. Its been great! He's really getting into the clinic now at school and is loving it.
We just attempted to celebrate 5 years of marriage. I say attempted because we had a sitter for BOTH kids and we were going to get all dressed up and go out to a nice dinner. That day Logan had a fever and we ended up canceling. Doesn't looking like we are going to have a make up day either. We were kind of sad but this is the life of parenting and we wouldn't trade that for anything (well, maybe a full night's sleep)!
I just had my Spring Break two weeks ago. I got all of my canning done and a few projects I've been wanting to do. It was so nice not to have to be on the computer at night but I am enjoying being back into a routine.
Mom, Sas, Kyle, Evan and Todd came to visit last week. We did more canning, shopping and just hung out. It was so much fun to have them and even though I knew I'd be down seeing them in two weeks I still cried like a baby when they left. Thanks for driving our car up guys! I know the trip was LONG but it was so fun!
Logan is doing something new everyday. He is talking a ton (more like a little parrot) and it is SO hard to discipline sometimes. He's a pretty smart kid and he keeps us on our toes. For instance, he is terrible at hide and seek. He laughs the entire time he's hiding and if you don't find him within 10 seconds he comes looking. Well, the other day I was talking to mom and came out of my bedroom and found some DVD cases open with no movie. I began calling his name and nothing. I looked in every room both upstairs and down and still nothing. I started to panic when I decided to look behind the couch (I could have sworn I already had) and low and behold, there he was, DVD in hand with that little smirk. I had to turn to laugh. A few weeks ago they came bringing him to me from nursery (surprise, surprise) and Seth was teaching primary. So, after 10 minutes of disrupting the Young Women lesson I decided we'd go back to nursery together. So I walk down the hall, two bags on my shoulder, an empty plate (it had cookies for the YW), a carseat with a 15 pound sleeping baby and Logan crying holding onto my skirt. What a sight I know. The chapel doors with the other ward in sacrament meeting were open and the nursery just happens to be across the hall. Logan last saw Seth in the chapel and runs in yelling 'dada, dada' down the middle of the aisle. I dropped my bags and baby and ran in after him. Needless to say, Logan went to primary that day. He keeps us busy but he is so much fun! He new thing right now is he wants Chloe to say the prayer, all the time. No convincing him otherwise. Too cute!
Chloe is growing like a weed. She talks non-stop all day and when she's not talking she's wanting to be held. She is a little girl with a mind of her own and she cracks us up. We love to squeeze her fat legs and cheeks and try to make her laugh. She only does it when SHE wants to.
Welp, same old around here. We just had our family pictures done and here are a few. A friend in our ward did them and we got like 300 pictures. They all turned out so cute and most of them posted on here are black and white because those are the ones on my wall and I didn't know the numbers to the color ones to download. Anyway, you get the general idea. Thanks Teri! They turned out AWESOME and we LOVE them!

C is for Cookie!
So today was the letter C in Joy School. We had cheese and crackers for our snack, talked about cars, circles, cows and clocks and just for fun we made cookies! I learned some really important things about the boys during this process. Spencer is very conservative with cookie dough and frosting. Logan wants all of his and Spencer's. If you pay close attention to the frosting section of the video you'll notice that one of Logan's cookies has about 3/4 of the frosting. Spencer would rather not climb on the counter to get more. Logan will get it whatever way he can! Needless to say, it was a BLAST!

Adventures in Babysitting!
So every Friday night we have a babysitting swap with some other couples. We get kids the 2nd Friday of each month from
5:30 to 8:30. This past Friday was the first time we had all kids including Mckay Carlson. So we had two almost two year olds (Logan and Spencer) two approximately 15 month olds (Gavin and Edison) one six month old (Mckay) and a two month old (Chloe). I thought it was a blast and Seth thought we are done having kids! Aside from the craziness it was a blast and everyone survived. Here is a picture of the crew! Not the best picture but you try to get all of them to sit still and smile at once!

Joy School
Logan has started school! My good friend Chrissy and I are taking turns teaching the boys. We have a letter of the day, themes and all kinds of fun! I taught the first day and we learned about A is for Apple and Ants! Chrissy taught B and Logan came home singing "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear"! So stinkin' cute! He even says A B now instead of B A! Woohoo! Tomorrow is my turn again and we are doing C is for Cars, Clocks, and COOKIES! It is so much fun and Logan and Spencer LOVE it! In fact, when I put him to bed tonight I told him that tomorrow is school and if he stays in his bed when he wakes up it will be time for school and Spencer! I don't know what was the motivator, school or Spencer but it worked!
