Andi Lu is Three

Everyone I know loves Andi, she has such a huge personality, bigger than anyone I have ever met. She lights up my life and I can't imagine how boring life would be without her. She keeps me on my toes and can melt my heart all at the same time. She has the most gorgeous smile, meanest glare and most expressive face. She makes me proud to be a mama and I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring!

Andi just turned three and we had a crocodile birthday party for her (her choice). Andi loves creepy crawly things. A couple of weeks ago we rented a crocodile movie from the library that showed a mama crocodile carrying her babies to the water to swim. Ever since then Andi has decided that she is going to go live with the crocodiles and in her words, "the mama crocodile will pick me up in her mouth and carry me to the kiddy pool".

I will attach pictures later. The computer isn't letting my right now!

Wyoming Living!

Last week we stayed in Torrington, WY with my brother and his family. It was a lot of fun and here are a few of the things we did while we were there.

We went to the fair where... ...Jacie found a dog, just her size.
...Jacie & Talon went on a crazy boat ride.
...so did Jailyn & Andi Lu.
Then we went to the zoo where......Brittany dragged Jacie through the water that was way to cold for any of us adults to enjoy but Jacie absolutely loved it.
...Jailyn gave a super cute smile while shivering.

...Jacie & Talon waited to get sprayed in the face when the fountain finally turned on.

...Andi was really brave and toughed out the biggest water feature in the park:)

...Innocent little Lauren was tortured by her mom and loved playing in the water, even though it was so freakin' cold.
...Jailyn & Andi fell in love with some donkeys.
...Andi almost got eaten by a Lion.
...Talon & Jai hugged the flower.
...Talon braved the ultimate water obstacle course.
...And won.
At the local museum we...

...took a ride on an old train.
...and hooked the girls up to pull a wagon.
While we were at Britt & Trav's we...
...made Jailyn look like a princess....made Andi Lu into a princess.
...made some really sticky playdough.
...enjoyed our super adorable little Lauren.
...and found out nothing is better than family!
After all of this fun we hoped in the over crowded jeep and headed home. Nine hours later when we finally arrived in Logan the girls were still smiling.
Thank you Travis, Brittany & Jacie!

MY new babies!

First came little:

Merek Atticus Logan
Born July 11th at 6:39am
7 Pounds 11 Ounces 20 Inches Long
Merek is the son of Matt & Julie Logan. They have been waiting...overdue (sorry Julie) for this little guy. So worth the wait!!! He is so handsome!

Then:
Isaac Val Bassett
born July 26th at 3:16pm
6 lbs 14 oz and 19.5 inches long
Isaac belongs to Matt & Laura Bassett. He came early for the bassetts. They were pleasantly surprised when they got a phone call saying that he was born early and ready to go home with them. Matt & Laura were blessed through adoption with this little guy and he is so blessed to have a family like the Bassetts.

And last but definitely not least:
Kenley Raye Morgan
Born July 27th at 1:37 p.m.
8 lbs 15 oz. and 20 inches long.
She is the Gorgeous little girl of Grant and Shalie Morgan. She looks just like a Morgan and is so gorgeous. I think our girls will get along great and I can't wait to see her in real life and I bet she can't wait to meet me...since I am her favorite non-biological aunt!
I am so happy for our friends, congrats to all and keep trying to "keep up with the farny's."
