Two peas in a pod

Daddy and Logan watching Elmo..... only Logan's decided he'd be warmer if he shared daddy's shirt!

It was so cute to walk in and see Loggie so comfortable nestled inside daddy's pajama top.

Such a goofball!

Logan's Elmo Surprise!

Every Tuesday and Thursday Logan has therapy at the Banner Cardon Children's Medical Center in Mesa. And look who was waiting for Logan when we arrived for therapy last thursday ...... Elmo!! Logan was shy at first, but then decided he was ok, and ran up to give a hug!!

Chillin' with Elmo

.... then we couldn't get Logan off of him!

I love how content Logan looks!

It was a really great surprise!

Aiden's present from santa....

Apparently, Santa thought Aiden was good this year.... really good! Beause this big machine came rolling into our living room on Christmas morning! Aiden face was priceless, just as we thought it would be!

This picture reminds me of the pictures the Phillips boys would take when they'd look off in the distance! Too cute!

Aiden is obsessed with "checking the gas" underneath the hood! It's good that he's taking good care of his Jeep!

mErRy ChRiStMaS!!!

Our Family  -  Christmas 2010
Hope everyone had a holly jolly Christmas!

Our Christmas started at 4:20am when Logan had opened his bedroom door and started knocking on our bedroom door. We took him back to his room, told him "night night" and went back to bed!

Then at 5:30am I went downstairs to start the Cinnamon Rolls I was making for breakfast! Then, right on time, Bob, Julie, and Lizzy came over so we could open our Christmas presents together!
Santa brought Aiden a very nice present ( a Hot Wheels Jeep!!) [We'll post pics later]
Then at 1:00pm, we went over to Bob and Julie's to eat lunch with the rest of the Phillips/ Frary family, and open more presents!!! It was a really great Christmas.
We are very grateful for everything our Heavenly Father has blessed us with; and are truly very lucky to have each other, and also extended family so close to us. I am so grateful to have spent this very special holiday with so many people who love us! And for those family members who we could not see this Christmas, We are so grateful for the phone calls, cards, presents, and love we received! Thank you so much for making our Christmas so special; we couldn't ask for a more perfect family!

Manee's Baking Day!!

Aiden now LOVES to help anyone and everyone in the kitchen..... even if all I'm doing is refilling our pitcher with more crystal light mix! :)

Aiden was helping Manee make MY FAVORITE: Cherry chocolate cookies!! or "black and red berry cookies" as Aiden calls them!

I had just asked Aiden to "look-up" so I could get a picture of him smiling as he was baking.... this is all he gave me!

As you can see... Aiden's job was simple, but vitally important! He was incharge of placing the cherries in the center of the balls. He would take a cherry and place it carefully in the cookie, then get another cherry and place it...in his mouth! he did this every time! We didn't realize he was eating a cherry every other cookie until we ran out of cherries!!!! :)

zOo LiGhTs!!

I used my camcorder to record most of the time we were there, and then later realized how few pics I actually took....

none of Daniel, or Lowgs, or Manee, or Papa....

... but here's Aiden and Brooklyn at the "Water falls" part of the Zoo that Aiden loves to play!

Aiden looks so goofy in this picture! He loved the lights and the music! It was super crowded and kinda crazy getting in and out of, but so much fun!!

At the Farm...

The boys riding the cow train!

Aiden looks so confident, like he's the one steering the train!

 Aiden and Brookie looking at the ducks!

Logan liked the piggies!

I love this picture of all three of the looking at the pigs!

"Aiden the Scarecrow"

.... and "Logan the Flower!"

Logan LOVED the Teeter-Totter!

Grammy Frary's birthday picnic!

On Saturday, we celebrated our Grammy's birthday with a fun picnic in the park! I absolutely loved her "Park hat!" ( as she called it)

Logan 9we didn't know at the time) had an ear infection and was feeling sick. :(

Daddy and Aiden enjoyed a little game of soccer ( or "football"!)

Aiden and Laney

Laney, Brooklyn, and Aiden playing in the sand.

Uncle Dan with Aubrey

Dan put his hat on Aubrey- it covers her entire head!! 

Aiden and Brookie

Then we all came back to Bob and Julie's for delicious Red Velvet cake!! Yum!

Kara and Kasey's Halloween Party

This was our 3rd or 4th time dressing up, so dan decided to be more laid-back and go as a Cardinals Fan!

Aiden ( as a Vampire ) was flirting with a fairy princess!

The Halloween party at Kara's house ( our cousin)

Aunt Sammy with Aubrey!

Loggie and Me ( Logan went as Ming Ming Duckling from the Wonder Pets!) I'll post a pic with his entire costume on...

Manee's Halloween Party...

Aiden being his normal Goofy self!

Lowgs kickin' back with his juice box!

My husband thinking it would be funny to wear Brookie's pirate hat!

You can't really see it, but Aiden's giving Brookie a kiss!

Aubrey's clown costume was so cute!

And of course, it isn't a party without a pinata!

Aiden and Brookie gathering their goodies... Lowgs was busy watching Elmo.

Thank you Manee for inviting us to your awesome Halloween party!

Sleeping beauty....

We were all watching a movie downstairs when Logan decided he wanted to go upstairs and play. We could still hear him, and he was playing for a while, then we realized it was quiet. Daniel went to go check on him and started calling my name quietly for me to "bring the camera." { I love those moments!} So I grab the camera and start up the stairs... Logan had fallen asleep on the stairs!

Can I just say how impressed I am with his ability to hold his balance while asleep?

We love our little Goofball!!
