GO DUCKS!!!

Brent took me to the Duck game this weekend! It was a blowout, but it was still fun to watch the Ducks come away with a win! You wouldn't believe how much stuff we fit into our Yukon! As you can see from the pictures, there were 6 of us. On top of that, we had 4 coolers, 7 chairs, a couple bags of goodies, our UofO washer game, and a full size camping bbq! It was pretty amazing...Brent said we should have taken a picture of it all and sent it to GMC to show how spacious their rigs really are! Anyways, it was a great weekend...the ducks won, we had a lot of fun tailgating, and the girls had a blast with Grandma and Papa Dukes!






OMSI with Grandma & Papa Gabel

Last Sunday we took the girls to OMSI with Grandma & Papa Gabel. Their favorite part was the reptile exhibit. Logann was amazed by the crocodile and all the different snakes. Peyton enjoyed playing in the water in the Children's Science center. When she started splashing, we knew it was time to move on!












We Went to the Circus!

Capturing the expressions on the girls' faces was priceless...they absolutely loved going to the Circus! Peyton got a little squirmy, but maybe that was because it was a 2 1/2 hour show! Logann just watched in amazement!

Here are a few pictures from a couple of weeks ago...

College Football Begins! Go Ducks!

Logann and Peyton are all "ducked" out and ready for the game! By now, I am guessing that Uncle David and Daddy have been up since 7am watching ESPN gameday and are getting ready to eat, pack and get down to Autzen Stadium to spend a LONG afternoon tailgaiting with George and Connie! I am here at home with the girls and Uncle Jeremy is coming over this evening to watch the big game with us. Just thought I'd share a really cute video with you! GO DUCKS!

Urgent Care & Minor Injury in the Same Week!



Greetings!
Yes, the title says it all!
We have been to Urgent Care for Logann and Minor Injury with Peyton within a time frame of 5 days! Oh the joys of raising babies! Let's start with Logann...

At the family reunion (farm in Lebanon) on Saturday night, she ran straight in to the teeter-totter (sp?) We took her in the next day to have it looked at and it was too late to stitch up, but they cleaned it out and put new strips on it. FYI...new parents out there, if the injury is on the face and you are unsure of the need for stitches, TAKE THEM IN ANYWAYS...because they can't do stitches 12 hours after the incident happened. Oh well...the only result is that there might be a bigger scar. That doesn't really matter because her coffee table scar is on the same eyebrow! So much for modeling!

Now on to Peyton! She fell off the top bunk bed last night. Brent was playing with the girls in Logann's room and had Peyton on the top bunk playing with her. (no blame placed here because I have had Peyton on the top bunk too) Well...she fell off, cleared the double size bunk on the bottom and landed right on a huge, overstuffed puppy pillow that Logann had on the floor. I know...pretty darn amazing that she didn't hit the bottom bed's frame. Well, she seemed fine last night, until I woke her up this morning and got her out of her crib. She could hardly walk, and when she did take steps, she was clearly limping. She cried because of the pain, so I called advice and we took her to minor injury this morning at 10am. The doctor checked for range of motion in her hips and legs and said she was fine. If she seems to get worse over the next three days, he said to bring her in for an x-ray. He didn't want to do an x-ray today just because he thought she was fine, and all that radiation through such a little body at this age is not good unless it is absolutely necessary. So...we'll be keeping an eye on her!

Logann has a bike!

We bought Logann a big girl bike a week or so ago and she loves it! She rides it everyday. In the video, you can see that she likes to wear her "guggles" while riding. She's a goof ball! It's pretty funny...before Logann had the big girl bike, Peyton showed no interest at all in riding the trike. Now, that's all she wants to do...ride the trike or the scuttlebug scooter, and follow her big sis' all around the basketball court! Anyways, they are pretty cute together riding their bikes in the backyard!
