The Things Kids Say!

Logan and I have had once again another pretty good week! Of course we worked, and worked, and watched movies and slept. That's really all we do all week. It's the weekends that it seems we LIVE! Ha Ha. This weekend, we both had to work, but we still went out to dinner and had a great time together. Sundays we love! Our calling in our ward is to teach the 8 year olds in primary. We LOVE it! It is so much fun every week. They brighten our day! I have to share this story just because it is too funny not to.
Sunday morning, Logan and I woke up and made cookies. Since our church isn't until 1:00, we have quite a bit of time in the morning. So we made a new recipe of Chocolate Chip Cookies. They came out a little crunchier than we had wanted so we put the cookies we were planning on taking in a container with a piece of bread hoping the bread would soften them up a little bit. When in class, we ask the kids if they can tell us what we taught them last week and if they tell us something from the lesson, then they get a treat. Logan was handing out the cookies and one of the boys responded while grabbing his cookie, "There is NO WAY that piece of bread would trick anyone." Logan and I busted up laughing. It was the funniest thing I think I have heard any of them say!
Another story that might make you laugh. It never surprises me how much Logan pays attention to where things are. We usually take small candies to our kids at church and they stay in my church bag. This last week I happened to lay it down on the kitchen table instead of in the closet (where it normally goes) and Logan says to me one night, "Tracie, where did you hide the candies? I have looked everywhere and I can't find your bag. You must be a good hider!" Me, knowing that my church bag has been on the kitchen table ALL week, looked over at my bag and I responded, "What do you mean you can't find it?" He says, "Will you go get the candies? I want some." So as I walk over and grab the candies out of my bag that is on the kitchen table is respond, "I guess I know where my new hiding spot is."
I love little things like these stories they make life so sweet and fun! I love Logan and I am very happy to be with him-even in the silliest moments.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Weekend Fun

The last couple weeks have been so fun and busy for us! A couple weeks ago, was General Conference weekend. Logan had a missionary reunion that we attended and was able to catch up with old acquaintances and meet I was able to meet new ones. Logan loved it. Later that night we had Corey stay with us which Logan loved...he loves spending time with his brothers!

On Saturday, Logan and I hit the farmer's markets and we bought some fresh produce. Some of which was grapes. When we got home Logan realized we bought concord grapes and decided to experiment with making his own juice. So he squeezed all the grapes and followed a recipe he found on line and in the end he only got about 2 cups out of it. Needless to say he decided that it is not worth making it yourself!

Later that night, my cousin gave me a call and said that they came down for the afternoon session, but didn't have anywhere to stay, so they came and stayed then night.

Sunday morning, my brother and his wife joined us for breakfast and for conference. I decided to use up some of the zucchini that Cindy gave us and make some zucchini bread. Everyone loved it! We loved having family visit us!

This last weekend, Tracie got a free night stay voucher for a suite hotel because the company she works for cleaned for them. We went and stayed there Friday night after work. We had a blast! I won a WII from work and so we took that to the hotel and tried that out for the first time there. It was a nice little vacation close to home. We got up the next morning and traveled to Park City to the Outlets there to do some shopping. We had a good time.

Saturday evening, we went to dinner with some friends from work to The Cheesecake Factory. It is a very nice restaurant, but some of the food is not as good. However, their cheesecake is really great!

We are still loving just hanging out with each other and keep looking to the future!
