Where have you been?

I know, I know it has been far to long, but in all honesty I have not felt inspired to blog. But I am sitting, playing on the computer, with Harry Potter in the background and all three boys asleep on the couch. So where have I been? Here I guess, instead of blogging I have wasted my computer time on Pinterst. Finding activities for my Young Women, food ideas for Baby Showers, tons of recipes, and now cute ideas for Logan's 1 year birthday party. I still love pintrest but I think the thrill is gone and now I am just a casual pinner. Now here is an update on all that has gone on with the Box family...

Since I last posted in July we have been to Oregon for a Wedding...

Went trick or treating with friends in Issaquah...

Kyler as Buzz Lightyear

Logan as a Scarecrow

Went to the Northwest Railway Museum

And went to the Snoqualmie Falls

In other news I am back to work at Center at Norpoint as a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor, I was called as the 2nd Counselor in Young Women's, Jason was released from Elders Quorum Presidency and now is the Teacher in EQ. Kyler is speaking better and better everyday and Logan is pretty much walking, well it is about 50/50 he crawl to something to stand himself up and then walks until he fall and then repeats.

For Thanksgiving we decided to just stay home and do our own Turkey and stay in our PJs all day. We had our favorite things Jason had his Turkey and Stuffing and I had my Candied Yams and we both had our favorite pie Homemade Apple....Yummy. It was low key but lovely! We decided to be some of the crazies that go shopping on Black Friday (the truth is, it is not Thanksgiving unless we go shopping on Black Friday) but this year it was really Black Thursday because everything opened on Thursday. We dropped Kyler off with some friends and then went to Walmart, then Toys R Us, and last Target. I did go to Old Navy but after I saw the line just to get in I decided to just shop online. We were done at 2:30 and happy to say pretty much got all our shopping done. I woke up around 8 and finished the rest that morning.

Now we are waiting patiently for the 15th when we can jump on a plane and head to Cali for 10 days....yay we can't wait....

This Month in Pictures

6 Months and groWING

Here is an update of our not so little Logan. This boy is growing...he is wearing 9-12 months clothes and now wears the same diaper size as Kyler. He is quite the crawler and climber, if I am not watching him he will be going up the stairs in the matter of seconds. He thinks he can and should be able to do everything his big brother can do.

He loves to explore and put everything he finds right into his mouth, but of course the only thing he doesn't want in his mouth is baby food. He is normally a very happy baby as long as he has some food in his belly and not tired he is a happy camper.

At the rate Logan is going he will be walking in a month.

4th of July

I have been totally slacking with this blog, I still have not put pictures of 4th of July yet so here are some pictures...

We went with some friends from church to the Steilacoom 4th of July Parade

Logan with Elizabeth

After we met our friends the Johnson's to go to the Freedom Fair on the Waterway in Ruston.

Here is Kyler with Maddie, I think this was his favorite part, ridding on the school bus to the Fair.

We were lucky again to get a seat at the Duke's Restaurant right on the water to watch the fireworks. We were able to see the Tacoma, Federal Way, Gig Harbor, Seattle, and Bermerton fireworks all from one spot. The best thing about the night was the Strawberry Lemonades kept coming.
