What a Swing!
Logan has been swinging a bat (with help) for months now, but we were still shocked by how well he did on his own just the other day. Here he is:

His First Taste of Snow
We had a winter storm hit this week. I went through the tub of hand-me-downs and pulled out a pair of little boy's boots (only 1 size too big, not bad). Logan was very excited to wear them. He went to take his first step and instead had a nice fall. It didn't take him too long, though. After a minute or so, he was wearing those boots proudly! I grabbed Logan's coat and hat, and he was ready to check out the snow.
He walked right into the snow and faceplanted! He didn't cry, though (not yet anyway). He was still checking it out.
We stayed outside for just a minute or two and then came inside to warm up. Logan decided to see how the snow tasted, and I think he liked it!

Not Just Your Ordinary Storm
It was the first night we spent at my parent's house, the Saturday before Thanksgiving. A storm passed through. It was a typical Oregon storm (rain, rain, and more rain), that is, until we heard a loud thud above us and awoke to find this:
A major branch of one of the 2 trees in the front yard broke and fell onto and through the roof. Luckily the "through" part happened in the covered porch area, and we were able to stay dry inside the house. Whew! That was scary!

What Would You Do?
A little over a year ago we bought new kitchen appliances as part of our kitchen remodel. The only appliance that didn't necessarily need to be replaced was the refrigerator. But, we couldn't have unmatching appliances. So, we took the old refrigerator and put it in the garage. I've loved having the extra freezer space, and the extra fridge space has come in handy a time or two as
well.
Well, I recently noticed that the freezer part of this extra fridge isn't working. I'm not really sure if the fridge part is working. It's so cold in the garage that the refrigerated items would stay cold even if the fridge wasn't working. But, the frozen items were definitely thawing. So, I threw a few things out and crammed everything else into the freezer in the house. This wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have at least one bag of every kind of Oregon berry (thank you, mom - and I'm not saying that sarcastically), multiple bags of chicken, hamburger, a few cartons of ice cream, etc.
Anyway, my question is.....now what?
We figure we have a few options...
1) Have a repair man come out and check out the fridge and go from there.
2) Ditch the fridge and buy a new one.
3) Ditch the fridge and buy an extra freezer (no fridge).
4) Wait for a while hoping that the fridge will fix itself.
What would you do?
well.

Lost Keys...Must Be Logan's Fault
Garrick lost his keys right before Thanksgiving break. I don't know that we even realized that they were missing until we returned from Oregon.
On the day that we left for Oregon, we drove up to SLC and helped Garrick's sister, Jackie, move into her new townhome. So, there was lots of running around and several vehicles involved. Garrick was pretty sure that he left his keys at home in Orem, but...they were nowhere to be found in the house. He looked through all of his pants pockets, through every coat, in every couch, etc. So, he started doubting his memory, and extended the search. He looked through the school, called the restaurant where we'd eaten, checked with the U-Haul company, and had his parents look in their truck...nothing. We gave up, considered the keys "lost," and decided to move on (get new keys made). Unfortunately, it's rather expensive to make extra keys for the CRV, so we thought we'd hold off for a while on that one, just in case the keys turned up.
Just the other day Logan and I did some shopping. As we came back inside the house, he grabbed my keys and started playing with them. They kept him busy while I put away groceries. I didn't think anything else about them until that evening when it was time to leave. Garrick was taking the CRV and needed my keys. I remembered that Logan had them last, and I was pretty sure that he was on the main level of the house the whole time he had them, but I looked around and couldn't see them. We didn't look for more than a couple of minutes when Garrick decided to check out the kitchen garbage can. He opened it up and sure enough, there they were right on the bottom. Gross! We were so happy that we found them, and Garrick was convinced that he knew what had happened to his keys. They must've been "thrown away" by the little guy.
I am happy to announce that Garrick was wrong. He called this afternoon to tell me that he found his keys. They were under Logan's extra car seat that is in the back seat of Garrick's car. Hoooooorrrraaaaaaayyyy!!! Maybe we can't use Logan as an excuse for all of our lost items after all.
