Lopez Family: September pics and it is still September??

September started with with a bang as we went to Denver to celebrate the birth and blessing of Logan Knudson (Meagan's nephew). It was a long drive, but we were able to see Patrick's family on the way there and on the way back. It was a fun filled, constantly moving trip, but soo much fun!

Sept 5th
Gampa Child (Meagan's Dad) and Gamma Stephanie (Meagan's Step-mom)are going to take Anthony fishing. Gampa loves to fish and Anthony has talked about fishing so we found a cheap place they could all go. Before they left Anthony wanted to play with Aunt Nichole's dogs.

Anthony warming up

getting Dozer's attention

Grrr...tug-a-war, with Adrian watching innocently

GGD (Meagan Grand-daddy) joining in the game, while Patrick is tinkering with the baby swing

Adrian tickling Gampa Child's toes

Gampa Child feeding little Logan Knudson

Tank is unsure about all the action

Only 3 weeks old and Logan already opens his eyes and observes everything. Logan staring at his Gampa.

Adrian is looking tired as he plays with his toy

yeah, time for a nap

Adrian really enjoyed the baby swing
(can you read his shirt? Do you get the hidden message??)

The "boys" meaning Matt (Nichole's husband), Sean (Meagan's brother), Patrick, and GGD all went for a hike, while us ladies Nichole (Meagan's sister), Meagan and GGM (Meagan's grand-mommy) stayed home for some shopping. While Nichole got ready, GGM rocked Logan, the dogs and herself asleep.

So precious, Logan and his Great-Grandma

The swing did the trick
(Did you read his shirt?)

Nap time didn't last long. Logan has the cutest cry!

oh...Meagan love how he squishes his nose

Dozer even has a game face while he sleeps

Later in the afternoon Gampa came back with Anthony from fishing, and Anthony was tuckered out. He slept for 2 hours and Meagan had to wake him up!

Gampa took some time to teach Adrian how to fish

That evening Meagan's mom and the rest of the Family arrived. Meagan's other sister Katrina, came bearing lots of shoes for Nichole. Amongst were these sexy black boots

Meagan's brother Nathaniel (whom Anthony adores) is sporting his Spritle Racer beanie. The rest of the family said Nathaniel looked like Where's Waldo :)

Matt decided to shave his hair really short. After his hair cut, poor Uncle Matt had Anthony's fingers all over his head.

Grammie (Meagan's mom) and GGM prepping the veggies for the veggie tray tomorrow. Daniel Pierce is trying to steal the peppers

The boys watching the BYU game.

Nichole was decorating the cake and Anthony kept begging for icing. So Nichole squeezed some in his hands

and Anthony really enjoyed licking it

first eat then inspect what your eating...

The big day has arrived! Logan's blessing brought the entire family together, which means lots of family photos before church!

Sept 12th
Did you figure out the hidden message on Adrian's shirt?? Yes...No...Well either way, we are spilling the beans, well, we are actually growing a bean cause Meagan's pregnant!

Let the belly growth begin! Here she is 15wks along...

Sept 13th
For dinner Meagan made lemon-pepper fish with some fresh lemon slices to squeeze some added flavor. Anthony really got into squeezing the life out of the lemons

Sept 14th
Anthony's first day of pre-school! Meagan and some other friends with kids Anthony's age set up a little joy school where they each take turns teaching the kids some basic lessons and the Alphabet. Getting Anthony's first day photo wasn't very easy...

take 1: Anthony isn't looking

take 2: Anthony turned around to show Mom his backpack

take 3: backpack

take 4: backpack

take 5: Success!

Anthony loved pre-school so much he seriously cried for hours afterwards. He went down for his nap crying and woke up crying to go back. It only took a week, but Anthony understands now that pre-school is part of his routine. ANthony loves to carry his backpack and show mom his folder of pre-school accomplishments

Sept 17th
Anthony was sleeping and Adrian though he's sneak a turn at the Giraffe Game Grammie gave Anthony for his birthday. Adrian has never played it, but he has a general idea of how to play.

First: turn the giraffe on

Second: set up the animals

Third: bang! bang! bang!

step 3 in action. Sorry for the quality, we desperately need a new camera

Anthony loves pretending. Most of his pretending is his twist on his world, but it is so cute to see him use his imagination. Here is he gifting Mom with a buckets full of his cars! How sweet of him to share! He was so excited to give Mom a present all by himself.
