Events from the Week

Logann went on her first field trip this week to the Hazel Dell Fire Department. Peyton and I went along to take pictures. The girls had a great time looking at the fire trucks and walking around the fire station. Logann got to sit in the driver seat of the big engine! We saw where the firemen live while they are on their shifts. They got to see a fireman put on the uniform they wear when fighting fires. Logann was scared when the gear was fully on...she said that he had on a scary mask!

Peyton is growing up so dang fast. She wants to do EVERYTHING Logann does. As you can see in the last picture, she is now interested in sitting on the potty...at only 17 months! That is a shocker to us because of how challenging it was to potty train little Miss Logann! Peyton is not our baby anymore...she is a little girl...you know what that means?!!! :)

Logann's First Day of Preschool!

Today was Logann's first day of Preschool. She goes to "Miss Connie's Preschool" right next door to our house. There are 9 students in her class. This month they are learning about fire safety and will take their first field trip to a fire station on the 25th. Miss Connie called me after class today to tell me how well Logann did. She mentioned that she has already noticed how she is an "observer" just like her daddy! She sat back and took it all in before she joined! Miss Connie said that she payed attention and followed directions as well!

Brent only worked a half day today because he took Logann to her dentist appointment at noon. They called a few minutes ago saying that she did AWESOME! She layed down in the chair and let the dentist do a complete cleaning! This was her second trip to the dentist, and the first trip was an adventure. She wouldn't even touch the chair and stayed as far away from the dentist as possible. Our little girl is growing up!

While Logann was in preschool today, Peyton and I spent some quality time together. We went grocery shopping (what a difference it is to only take one child) and then we made a birthday cake for Brent.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

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!
