More BMX...

(video of Logan racing, he's the one wearing all red #113.)

It seems the last few months our lives have been consumed with BMX Racing. We've had a blast every other weekend watching Logan improve around the track. I've never seen a sport better suited for Logan, he has no fear being out on the track, racing. This past weekend was the state championship and final weekend for the indoor racing this year. He placed second in his division and received a huge trophy. He was so excited and we were so proud of him and all that he has accomplished in just two short months of racing. Sawyer has also received a few trophys in the "big wheel" division with the help of Logan pushing him around the track. He is getting the feel of the dips and bumps, and we are hoping he will be able to ride and race when he turns four. We are all looking forward to outdoor racing starting up in May, so anyone can come on out and help us cheer our little racer on!

BMX Racing

This year we've decided to get Logan into BMX Racing, and he's been having a blast! This is a sport that just comes natural for him, since he's been riding his bike since he was three. We've been having so much fun watching him and cheering him on. His best friends Hunter and Indy are also racing, another fun activity for us parents to get involved in together. They have races about every 2-3 weeks, and this weekend he made it to the finals in his age group. I honestly don't know who gets more excited for the races, Anthony or Logan!

Christmas 2009

We has a wonderful and relaxing Christmas day. We went to the Christmas Eve service at our church and come home and had dinner~Clam Chowder, yummy! We all then watched a movie together, "The Christmas Story" and I actually had the boys in bed by nine! We had everything ready for Santa, including food for the reindeer, and said goodbye to our elf Charlie. The boys were up at six the next morning waiting to open presents. Santa was good this year, or should I say the boys were good, because they got alot of fun presents. Sawyer loved all his new transformers, and Logan got a new BMX bike so he could start racing. It was so nice to be home this year and not have to work on Christmas Eve as I did last year, which turned out to be a nightmare! Later we went over to the Vincents for Christmas dinner and to open presents from the family. What a great and memorable Christmas day!

Wow, what a busy month we've had!! We've enjoyed visits from our elf Charlie, a visit to see Santa, looking for elves at Gardner Village, Christmas concerts and programs at church, baking cookies and decorating a gingerbread house, visits with grandparents, seeing Santa's reindeer at Thanksgiving Point, looking at Christmas lights, snowmobiling and sleeding at the Vincent cabin, and dancing all night on New Year's Eve. I'm exhausted!

Our elf "Charlie"

We've had a visitor this holiday season, sent from Santa, to watch the boys and make sure they are being good. We named him Charlie, and he is one of Santa's elves. Every night after we go to bed, he flies to the North Pole and talks to Santa about how Logan and Sawyer behaved that day, and comes back down to our house and hides in a different place. The boys have had a blast every morning running around to find where Charlie is hiding. I must thank Santa next time I see him, because the boys have been behaving so well when Charlie is here. I wonder if he could visit year round?!

The Elves at Gardner Village

My sister and I took all the kids today to see the elves at Gardner Village. I have always wanted to go and see them, and knowing how cute the witches are there around Halloween, I knew it would be cute~and we weren't disappointed! The weather wasn't too cold, and the boys kept warm running around looking for the elves. We all enjoyed a holiday treat at the bakery afterwards, gingerbread men of course!

Gingerbread House

I have learned from past years, so this year I bought a gingerbread house that was already made and just needed the icing and candies put on it. I was always so frustrated at the house because it wouldn't stand up and the roof would slide off, this year was actually enjoyable and the end product really looked like a gingerbread house. The boys had fun putting it together, and really didn't eat that much candy!
