Happy Birthday Elder Logan Wells

Happy Birthday to my "baby" boy. I cannot believe he will be 21, WHAT the heck happened to my cute loveable huggable little boy? I cannot wait to throw my arms around your neck and give you a BIG kiss in 46 more days....Carry on, finish strong and we will see you soon!

June Birthdays

So two of most favorite family members are June babies....My ( baby) Logan just turned 20 on June 7th, gone are my teenagers....My oldest (and only) Grandaughter Gracie turned 7 years on June 6th. What would I do with out them? Aww...Here they are in 2001, Logan was 13 years old, and Gracie about a year old.



Look at them now.... They are still my June Babies! Gracie has always called Logan her Uncle Lo Lo.

Finally updated

Yes, I am still here. We were super busy, getting our son ready for his 2 year mission for our church. Here is a photo update, of what has happened since the middle of March.

Lots of last minute shopping, trying to tie up all the loose ends, like realizing that Colten got the wrong 2 pair of pants to match his suit jacket... and he was leaving in 5 days for the MTC.

Having Colten's pictures taken at Brandt Photography, they provide a free session for Missionary's, and give you a free wallet for the plaque that will hang in your ward building for the 2 years they are serving. Plus a added bonus, they post your picture in the Beehive News.

My 4th (not really, but our great friend) son, Daniel Wesley got his mission call...He is going to the Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Mission and reports to the MTC on June 18th, 2008

The same evening as Daniel opened his call, we had a bridal shower for my nephew Justin's finance, Lorin Payne at our home. They are getting married on the 27th of March, yep the day after we take Colten to Utah.

(Thanks for making the cake Kelli.... Your the best!)

Then Colten had his opportunity to speak in our ward Sacrament on Sunday March 17th. So that was cause for a little family dinner. Since he spoke at the beginning of Spring Break, we actually had a little gathering on the following Sunday, which happened to be Easter. Logan and Colten's good friend Chad Dewey gave his talk on Easter also, so it was a busy Sunday for sure!

Here is Colten with Daniel who is headed for the Pennsylvania,Harrisburg Mission is June, Chad Dewey who is leaving for the Russia,Yeikenburg mission on April 9th, and also Chase Judd who is headed for the Mexico Vera Cruz Mission on April 2nd.

Easter Morning, we had Jayson, Tina, and Tristan over for breakfast. Of course the Easter Bunny didn't forget Tristan's basket.. The Bunny also put together a package and sent it to our Colorado grankids...and a package to Elder Logan Wells in Puerto Rico. Busy times for sure!

After Colten was set apart as a Missionary on Sunday evening March 23rd, the next morning was time for Colten to say "good-bye" to everyone one last time.... Here he is with Jayson, a bit tough on both of them... They are very close!

Graduation

Another milestone in life, another chapter finished. Our youngest Logan graduated from Mountain View High School along with 842 other kids. It was fun watching Logan with his friends, he called me his paparatzi, you know the one that follows you around with a camera. What a great kid he is, and what a fun bunch of friends he has. I love those kids! My house is going to be so quiet as they start to go their seperate ways this summer. Congratulations Logan!

Prom Time

Well, this is Logan's last prom. Do I sound excited? This kid has gone to 5 proms in 3 years.

His date was Kelsey Sprouse. Isn't she pretty? I think so. They had so much fun. They went to the Landmark for dinner, and of course have to get a day activity in. They are heading on a charted bus to Magic Mtn in California this weekend. This year is winding down, and I think

my life with teenagers is about over. I am sad in ways, and happy in others. Just another turning of a chapter in life. Ahhhh, that sounds like I could be getting old??? No way, age is just a number, RIGHT?

Mission Call?

Everyone is asking....Did Logan's call come? The answer is no...not yet. His call was delayed in SLC, due to him having to lose a few pounds. He was so optimistic, and worked so hard to shed those dang old pounds. But the pounds are gone, and his papers are back in SLC. So we are anxiously waiting again. This has been a test of patience, and endurance for all of us. It has been a guessing game as when they are coming in the mail. So maybe his call will come this week? or next week?

This is a picture of all the kids.

Getting off the ship in Puerta Vallarta


The cruise is over, and was so much fun. There was 27 of us all together. We left from Long Beach, Ca. We visited Puerta Vallarta, Matzalan, and Cabo San Lucas. The food was awesome. The kids were so much fun. Logan is such a great son! He is kind hearted and loving, he always treats me well. He is always making me laugh. Gosh, I am so lucky to be his Mom. I am so grateful for him and for our friendship. Happy Graduation!

Logan's missionary papers are in

Last post... Gotta get my butt in gear. Logan and I, with 9 of his friends with families are off for a 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise. Lots of things to get done today. We leave for our drive to Long Beach, early am on Sunday. I am so looking forward to a nice vacation, and being pampered. This is Logan's last big venture before he leaves for his mission and graduates. His papers are off to Salt Lake....We should know where he will be serving by the end of this month. Look for the post. Emotions are good this week for me. I guess I am too dang busy. Thought I would post a picture that went in with mission papers. Ta Ta for now.

Renaissance Festival

What a fun day at the festival. Lots to do and see. Logan has such a fun group of friends. We enjoyed this cloudy day with no school. If you like to people watch, this was the place... I had to try the famous "turkey leg" , it was very yummy. Just about the time we were leaving, it started raining like crazy. We were soaked to the bone. I was glad to come home, get some dry clothes, threw a log on the fire, a warm blanket, and take a nap.

Starting the missionary process

My life is just plain busy...We are lds, and Logan just got his password to start working on his missionary papers. Wow, yesterday my baby, and today a senior in High School. So my focus is on doctor, dental, and vison appointments. All this with Logan's working 2 jobs, his working on the yearbook, and his social life. This is so bittersweet for me, one minute I am crying, and the next I am so happy for him. I guess there will be lots of highs and lows as the months sail by.
