Stagecoach Rides

Every 3rd Saturday in Downtown Placerville there are free stagecoach rides. While the kids and I where downtown we thought that we would take a ride. Logan was a bit tired so he wasn't to excited, but Ethan was excited and nervous before we got on. During the ride he had a great time. He loved to see the horses and kept asking to see them again. The first ride he was holding on for dear life, the second time he just wanted to hold my hand and was really enjoying it.

Here are some pictures of us next to the coach and the horses. They have all the people dressed up old time and its a great way to see some of the Placerville "Old Hangtown" history.

I have come to find that it is very hard to get a picture of Logan in a full smile, but here he is having fun with his big brother and you can see his sweet smile that lights up his crystal blue eyes. Ethan is a great big brother. he loves Logan and is always taking care of his little brother.

I love you both!

Logan Turns One

My little baby has turned ONE!! He is walking like crazy, enjoys playing with his big brother, has started jabbering away (he always has something important to say), and loves to laugh with his daddy. He is a joy to have with us and couldn't love him more. We spent his birthday as a family and then had Grandma Bell and James, Ashley, Kyle and Lane, as well as Grandma and Papa Roberts and the Missionaries over for a little party, cake and ice cream. Here is Daddy and Logan with his cake.Isn't it just so cute?!?!?! Logan had a blast eating his "big rock" of the cake and every time we would tell him to eat it, he would simply put his face into the cake and take a bite. Totally cute!

Logan I hope that you had a great first birthday and that there are many happy days to come. We love you!!

Some friends of mine invited us to their house to see some goats that were grazing the property. It was way fun. Ethan had so much fun watching them and his dad helped him ride one. There was one that was abandoned at birth and we were able to hold it. I think that they said the herd was over 200 strong. They sure were amazing, as the would stand on their hind legs and pull at the trees to get the branches. They will eat almost anything that gets in their path. They managed to tear off a branch while we where there. It was so much fun and a wonderful learning opportunity. Thank you Knapps!!
