Photo Update

He's not a baby anymore, but from time to time I still catch him sleeping with his bum up in the air. It's so cute to me that I had to take a picture.

In late January we took a quick trip to St George with Garrick's parents and sister, Jackie. One of the highlights was having warm enough weather to go to a park and play around a bit. This particular park had some pretty cool equipment.

Jackie and Garrick on a very unique swing.

Logan was brave enough to go down this slide with his dad.

These next few pictures were taken at the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Logan was so excited to see the sharks!
Here we are on the UNLV campus. We were able to combine a school trip (Garrick working on his dissertation) with a Cougar-cheering trip (We had tickets to BYU's first 2 MWC tournament games). It was a lot of fun!

Random Tidbits

We had a fun week of visitors last week, and I didn't take a single photo. What's up with that? My mom and sister, Kelly, came to visit Mon - Fri, and then Garrick's parents and sister visited over the weekend. It feels so quiet and lonely now. We loved having company - especially Logan. He was a little under the weather at the beginning of the week, but he really perked up by Friday. He loved having so many people around to play with.

This afternoon we made our first trip to Chuck E Cheese's for one of Logan's friend's birthday parties. Logan kept saying, "Want it to be my birthday," and "I don't want to go home." I think he could have stayed there until his next birthday. :) He's really not old enough to play most of the games, but I guess that saves us money. He ran around thinking he was playing the games, and I'm pretty sure he was having just as much fun as everyone else.

Last Monday Garrick had a day off so we took the opportunity to do something fun. We had planned on going to the zoo, but as we were driving to Salt Lake, the weather was looking iffy, so we changed our minds and opted for the Children's Discovery Museum instead. Logan had a lot of fun and really wore himself out. His favorite parts were sitting in and driving the helicopter and playing in the water area. He got himself soaking wet and now I know to bring a change of clothes along next time.

Leaky Roof Update

Fortunately for us, the leaky roof only lasted about 20 minutes last Friday. It was a slow, steady drip for that time, but at least it was just one drip, not a gush of water. Phew! We got a recommendation for a roofer and had an appt set for him to come check things out on Saturday afternoon. Well, Saturday came and went with no roofer showing up. Are all fix-it guys the same? (Flaky when it comes to keeping appointments, work at their own schedule, don't bother to call when they can't come, etc). We got a little rain Sat night and even more Sun night, but there was no additional leaking in the kitchen ceiling. Garrick managed to get ahold of the roof guy again today (Mon). I haven't heard why he didn't show on Saturday, but nevertheless, he showed up this afternoon. He checked out the roof and said that the swamp cooler area was a "Mess." We don't use the swamp cooler - in fact, we've already blocked a couple of the swamp cooler air ducts (or whatever they're called) inside the house. So, the solution? Get rid of it! The swamp cooler is being removed and the roof is being repaired as we speak. I'm grateful to have it fixed so quickly.
