Good and not so good "Firsts" for Logan Jane

First of all, my friend Trisha was so nice and invited Logan over the other night to come and ride their horses! She has a little girl about a year older and she is a little pro at riding! Here are just a few pictures of Karsyn and Kennedy watching their big sister from behind the fence!
They were so interested in what was going on!
I guess Kennedy was going to eat her way through the fence!
Here is Logan with Trisha's little girl Peyton (who by the way is not much older than the twins)! She is so brave to let her up there, but then again, she is used to horses and we....are definitely not!
Logan and her friend Brinlee on the horse all by herself!
Me and the girls just watching! They also had a couple dogs that the girls really wanted to get their hands on! I guess some day we will have to break down and get our kids a pet...just don't hold your breath anyone! Until then we will just have to visit everyone else's animals!
I haven't seen Logan so happy in forever! She couldn't stop grinning and Trisha said she wouldn't stop talking either...which for those of you who know Logan, know that means she was super EXCITED!
Peyton, Karsyn and Kennedy riding all together in the little car! Haha!
Trisha walking Logan around. Trisha asked Logan if she was going to ride by herself like Brinlee and she said.." maybe, but I better wait until my Mom is not watching"! Smart little girl because I was way more scared than she was!
Thanks so much Trisha and Jeff! Logan had so much fun!
The very next morning Logan had her first soccer game! We signed her up down in Clearfield with some old neighbors thinking that would be more fun for Logan! The girls coach was out of town so Karen and I were in charge! Don't let this picture fool you, this was taken in the first half hour that you just practice with your own team and coach. She was all for it, kicking, and running, scoring, and learning!
Here she is throwing in the ball! Go #6!!
Now let the drama begin...about 2 minutes into playing and throughout the rest of the whole game she looked more like this! She was so excited to play until the actual game and then she pretty much cried the whole time.
She said that she couldn't get the ball from anyone and, "they all keep taking it from me"! Seriously girl...this team's coach is going to have it out for him since 3 out of the 5 girls pretty much cried on and off the whole game!
Here she is at the end of the game with her drink and treat...this perked her up a little! Hopefully this isn't what it is going to be like the rest of the season. Neither Kurt or I know what we will do if our kids don't like sports. I hope if we can keep encouraging her, working with her, and me not being on the field with her will help! Wish us luck because it is looking like we are going to need it! Go purple Dinosaurs!!! (that is their name, at least this week)!!!

The last of Lake Tahoe pictures!

One of the most photographed places in the world...Emerald Bay! Don't mind Logan's fruit roll up face!

Logan at the start of the Emerald Bay hike with her rock! She is obsessed with rocks!
The whole fam before the hike!
This is at the end of the hike down by the lake before you head back up! Makinlee and Logan
They have the coolest trees here...look how huge it is!
A picture of Kurt and I in front of the old estate down by the lake at Emerald Bay!
Logan by a little waterfall going back up the mountain
Gen carried Karsyn for me on the way back up the hike and I set Kennedy on top for a few minutes too! We got some really good looks for this set up!
Kurt and Logan waiting to eat at Lake Tahoe Pizza Company! Yummy
Me and Gen went on Kurt's long run on Saturday morning down on a bike trail for 16 miles!! We were on our bikes PS! Oh and I went on a little spot off the path and when I got back on these two guys were there stopped on their bikes and said that I just missed a bear! That he had just ran in front of me and was now running across the road...SCARY! I am glad I missed him because I don't know what I would have done, probably crapped my pants!
Kurt loading the bikes back up!
Our last beach day was at Sand Harbor! Here is the girls right after they got all sunscreened up! They kinda look like Thing 1 and Thing 2! People around us loved this too and we kept hearing people say..."look at the triplets" (Cousin Wyatt being the 3rd baby because he was in an orange swimsuit and is about the same size)!
Kennedy in the water!
Both girls playing with Cassidy in the lake
Hailey and Wyatt
Our little doggy Kennedy chewing on a stick!
This beach was super fun because there were these rocks to jump off, even the little girls could try because it wasn't too deep! Here is Logan giving it a try!
Clay, Kurt and Logan!
We were all hanging out and jumping off the rocks when all of a sudden here comes my Mom and Dad in Clay's boat with the babies! Who knew Dad had it in him to row all the way over against the wind...by himself...over to us by the rocks! Go Dad! Mom too, for manning the babies the whole way and not letting anyone go overboard!
Mom and Karsyn and Kennedy!
Here is Logan trying to decide if she wanted to jump...she jumped a couple times and then decided she was done. Probably because the water was FREEZING! Good job though Logan, you are so brave!
Gen jumping off!
Even Dad got in on the jumping! My Dad totally rocks!
I wasn't going to jump because the water was really cold and I didn't want to get my hair wet but I decided...what the heck! Yes the water was cold, and of course my hair got wet but it was fun! You can totally tell I am anticipating the freezing water though!
Me and the hubby on the beach! It was so nice having a whole week to spend with the family and no stress about everything going on back home!!
I just had to throw this picture of Karsyn and Kurt, so cute!

Baldwin Beach...yes more Tahoe

I just had to post this cute picture of Karsyn and her "big" belly! So cute!
Me and Kurt at Baldwin beach. It was a little windy this day but we still had fun.
Kennedy just checking everything out in her teenie tiny bikini!!
Clay took his boat out for a few minutes but it was really windy so he decided it probably wasn't a good idea! We were also bummed because we wanted to rent kayaks but it would have been too hard being so windy...next time!
Kennedy with her little boobie hanging out of her triangle bikini! The girls just loved the sand!

Kennedy and Kurt

Just playing in the sand with Daddy!
Add ImageMakinlee and Logan "playing" in the sand. They did a lot of fighting this day at the beach for some reason.
The little jump that Clay and Kurt built for the girls to jump off into the water!
Karsyn is obsessed with shoes and will put anyone's on that are in front of her! Here she is with Aunt Gen's on!
Logan playing in the water!
Kurt and I got to go out for dinner by ourselves one night thanks to my parents and family watching our girls for us. There are so many places to choose from in Lake Tahoe to eat at, it isn't like Utah where you have a ton of chain restaurants, they have a bunch of "ma and pa" type places! We decided to go to this "Riva Grill" because it looked good and you ate right by the pier! Here is Kurt with our bread stick thingies that they gave us, they were interesting!
Our yummy dinner. We both got halibut, mine was with mashed potatoes and Kurt's was with some rice stuff! It is was so pretty though!
The view from the deck we ate on! Nothing beats a night out with the kids home with family!
We went for a walk with everyone one night because it was kinda cold and rainy! Here is Logan, Karsyn and Kennedy! Don't I have the cutest girls in the world!
My little family! We decided to join Logan who got in the hot tub like every night, and bring the girls in with us! They were pretty funny, they would get off our laps because they weren't so sure about the jets and bubbles!
Ya, we are dorks! I just love my little family and am so blessed to have them in my life!

PS all you bloggers...why is it that I can't figure out how to write/caption before my first picture??? I have tried to type before I upload the pictures and it ends up on the bottom, and I have tried to push enter and it takes the picture away! HELP I am retarded!!! If you know how, please let me know!
