Just busy and lazy I guess. I have heard other friends talk about there blogs, and looked at my own lately. When it comes down to it, this is as close as I am going to get at keeping a journal. I love looking back and seeing things that have happened, some of which I would not remember that well without the blog to look back on. So I am going to get caught up and keep this up better. I have missed plenty over the past 9 months. Here's to not missing another 9.

She is so good to always have a fun project for the kids to do to keep them entertained and busy. This time, appropriately, they made gingerbread houses. They may have eaten more candy than they decorated with. They had a great time building though. Here are the builders about to get started.

This trip Bryan and Kyle tagged along. These first two pictures where taken by Bryan, I think, of the kids starting their climbs.

<br />At some point during their visit to the gym Kate appointed herself photographer. The rest of these pictures are a glimpse at the 20 some she took. I guess it is nice to see things from her point of view.

<br />Living so close, it just makes good sense to take a trip down to Salt Lake to see the Christmas lights. We went on a week night so it was not to busy. Nice. You may not be able to tell buy our overly bundled outfits, but it was unseasonably not to cold that night. Double nice. We had a great time walking around seeing the Nativities and lights. Then we went and got a yummy dinner at Famous Dave's on the way back up to Logan. What a fun way to kick off the holiday season!

Our first stop was Kennewick to meet our new niece Emma and go to her blessing. She is the most darling little thing! It was so great to finally meet her since we have been hearing about how great she is for a while.<br />Here is Bry with our kids and Emma.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmtFrc7Mt1oKbr_Qfh5c3zyFRSCzAFzgGKYpv5xgTXXXWNzZVEwDpVrjmb0LsKWhFs5NJrNXcif6MxDYgeXXB0op7eWAHQJiikCw_M1G95qj6TvBCw6kRpML4HhFsW-hHoKhDM/s1600/IMG_0873.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551498895022071042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmtFrc7Mt1oKbr_Qfh5c3zyFRSCzAFzgGKYpv5xgTXXXWNzZVEwDpVrjmb0LsKWhFs5NJrNXcif6MxDYgeXXB0op7eWAHQJiikCw_M1G95qj6TvBCw6kRpML4HhFsW-hHoKhDM/s400/IMG_0873.jpg" /></a><br />Cute Emma.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TQri03XhLCI/AAAAAAAAIwc/mR89xO-Gh0c/s1600/IMG_0876.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551498888531225634" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TQri03XhLCI/AAAAAAAAIwc/mR89xO-Gh0c/s400/IMG_0876.jpg" /></a><br />Bryan with his sister Brittany and Emma.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TQriMwU1foI/AAAAAAAAIwU/Eg08iyjWP3M/s1600/IMG_0877.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551498199446158978" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TQriMwU1foI/AAAAAAAAIwU/Eg08iyjWP3M/s400/IMG_0877.jpg" /></a><br />From Kennewick we headed to Yakima just in time for the snow.

There were a lot of people around so I think Ian was a little overwhelmed. He did not really get into the cake eating like we thought he might. The rest of us did enjoy Aunt Shae's cupcakes though.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht-YuwsYyeBe-33AAYO0od8OI5AcpzPaBBBYjA2xMQIYi2k38tuqsBLBSDPqyAA43jgR5rEJSyAgxdkzCGh0Gy8JQ6d5nn9rhINpg5TjZmJ_n1-Y3Qpn6GaeCSGFcTokacmtbX/s1600/IMG_0901.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551496333584574914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht-YuwsYyeBe-33AAYO0od8OI5AcpzPaBBBYjA2xMQIYi2k38tuqsBLBSDPqyAA43jgR5rEJSyAgxdkzCGh0Gy8JQ6d5nn9rhINpg5TjZmJ_n1-Y3Qpn6GaeCSGFcTokacmtbX/s400/IMG_0901.jpg" /></a><br />Kate and Ian climbing all over their cousin Wes.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TQrgfwq6TuI/AAAAAAAAIvg/9I8__KHitco/s1600/IMG_0908.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551496326933008098" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TQrgfwq6TuI/AAAAAAAAIvg/9I8__KHitco/s400/IMG_0908.jpg" /></a><br />The last morning we were there the kids got a bit of an early Christmas. We did not really have room to take wrapped gifts in the van, and we wanted everyone to get a chance to watch the kids open their gifts. Jake and Kate could not have been more excited!

Not pictured was making corn cob darts, corn husk dolls, pony rides, and a black out maze. Ian was asleep in the stroller so I could not leave him so Jake and Kate took their friend, BY THEMSELVES, through the black out maze. I would have never guess that they would have liked something like that but they went again and again. I guess they really are growing up.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>the McLaughlin'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06566107607916992539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360279.post-81560213440078927942010-11-08T14:57:00.003-07:002010-11-08T16:02:44.143-07:00The pumpkin patchIn early October we went with our friends the Hulberts to a cute little pumpkin patch a outside of Logan.

Here are the eager crafters making pipe cleaner spiders.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNhl3YXrv_I/AAAAAAAAIRw/Yhxar81kjYM/s1600/IMG_0600.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537287743961022450" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNhl3YXrv_I/AAAAAAAAIRw/Yhxar81kjYM/s400/IMG_0600.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Here is the finished product.</div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNhl3O4l0pI/AAAAAAAAIRo/Q25pxa4EY48/s1600/IMG_0604.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537287741414691474" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNhl3O4l0pI/AAAAAAAAIRo/Q25pxa4EY48/s400/IMG_0604.jpg" /></a><br />Next we made some bats.

And if you find yourself on the receiving end I hope you like open mouth kisses because that is all he gives.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSxQO3APpZT7CJmytYHKNCRpiqE_eQtHfva8uhmg1qaQ7ycCVom0yEv5NLKVbAW_yhTsFG898CvF9s9UI1-F2sVmajBL8_S5biTkX3EmwRDc72cEa9e2sQy8DX25gejN5lpYaU/s1600/IMG_0592.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537256722653655922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSxQO3APpZT7CJmytYHKNCRpiqE_eQtHfva8uhmg1qaQ7ycCVom0yEv5NLKVbAW_yhTsFG898CvF9s9UI1-F2sVmajBL8_S5biTkX3EmwRDc72cEa9e2sQy8DX25gejN5lpYaU/s400/IMG_0592.jpg" /></a><br />He does not like to be alone when he is sad so he will crawl around looking for someone to pick him up. As you can see, he can be a bit of a mess by the time he finds comfort. And then instead of giving needed comfort, sometimes his mom lets him cry a little more while she gets the camera.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNhJpJqog0I/AAAAAAAAIPQ/PNZrWS4sldE/s1600/IMG_0517.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537256713170223938" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNhJpJqog0I/AAAAAAAAIPQ/PNZrWS4sldE/s400/IMG_0517.jpg" /></a><br />He loves the bath.

If we are out and about he is more than willing to just hang out and take in the sights. It has been harder to keep him on the same schedule because of everyones schedules, but he sure rolls with the punches. He is more shy than any of the other kids but luckily he warms up to people pretty fast. Jake and Kate love him, sometimes a little too much. He sure loves them too. It seems like he is picking up new things every day. It is crazy to think he will be one next week. We are so happy to have Bud Bud around!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>the McLaughlin'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06566107607916992539noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360279.post-91972998662384257872010-11-02T15:32:00.003-07:002010-11-02T15:51:24.697-07:00Labor Day WeekendBryan was able to come home for Labor Day weekend, which was so fun. It was his birthday so it was great to be able to celebrate with him. Here is his traditional chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting cake. He was actually turning 33 this birthday not 3 like his cake indicates.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTGMM6gHI/AAAAAAAAIMo/dQWc8id-Vu8/s1600/IMG_0523.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535085676602228850" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTGMM6gHI/AAAAAAAAIMo/dQWc8id-Vu8/s400/IMG_0523.jpg" /></a><br />On Labor Day we went to a little town called Wellsville for their parade. Here we were waiting for the parade to start. It was unusually cold that morning so the kids are pretty bundled up for it being so early in September.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTFyf7kWI/AAAAAAAAIMg/XW-WcAKqASs/s1600/IMG_0526.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535085669702668642" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTFyf7kWI/AAAAAAAAIMg/XW-WcAKqASs/s400/IMG_0526.jpg" /></a><br />Ian was not so sure what to think of all the loudness, but luckily Bryan was more than willing to help him feel better.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTFT0RQjI/AAAAAAAAIMY/Htd1vj0mdKU/s1600/IMG_0528.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535085661466477106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTFT0RQjI/AAAAAAAAIMY/Htd1vj0mdKU/s400/IMG_0528.jpg" /></a><br />Waiting for the candy.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTFFiPHhI/AAAAAAAAIMQ/pF7wqUkC4yk/s1600/IMG_0530.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535085657632742930" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTFFiPHhI/AAAAAAAAIMQ/pF7wqUkC4yk/s400/IMG_0530.jpg" /></a><br />Here is the other place Ian liked hanging out.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTE6Z9zmI/AAAAAAAAIMI/mqU-wyRbGUw/s1600/IMG_0531.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535085654645263970" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCTE6Z9zmI/AAAAAAAAIMI/mqU-wyRbGUw/s400/IMG_0531.jpg" /></a><br /><div>It is hard to believe this happened two months ago.

He got a short haircut a week or so before, but it looks super short in this pic. He has always loved school and this year is no exception. His teacher had nothing but great things to say about him at his parent teacher conference and we just found out yesterday that he was Student of the Month for October. He got to have lunch with the principal and all the other Students of the Month today. He sure is a great kid.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCIp5mRD7I/AAAAAAAAIKc/zerTRlMu7fU/s1600/IMG_0501.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535074195455676338" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCIp5mRD7I/AAAAAAAAIKc/zerTRlMu7fU/s400/IMG_0501.jpg" /></a><br />Here is Kate. She also seems to love school. And her legs seems to bend backward in this picture. They don't really bend that way though. She comes home with lots to say about her days, including if anyone got sent to time out. We sure love this sassy girl.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCI8zCeX3I/AAAAAAAAIKk/EYX5XZ2yQHQ/s1600/IMG_0622.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535074520112455538" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CXR0UAJT1X4/TNCI8zCeX3I/AAAAAAAAIKk/EYX5XZ2yQHQ/s400/IMG_0622.jpg" /></a>the McLaughlin'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06566107607916992539noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360279.post-6871423409761168942010-09-14T12:05:00.003-07:002010-09-14T12:17:38.654-07:00Oldie but goodieRemember this Bry?<br /><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dznYCylF6-8xNBoJYdD6fNG6A_fRB6hwHYoYijbLgQp3voKG15cLaWmuavXGN3NVbV6muwP5epQ1ak' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>Still so true!</p>the McLaughlin'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06566107607916992539noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360279.post-44150872014723582412010-09-14T09:46:00.002-07:002010-09-14T10:30:32.973-07:00A little more Jake and Ian fun<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz6Ws1y6vTJSEclxqKk6b4t6HdGxBDUXB0JW4MRC2B-uGCuwLkGw6u358wxqWaVMuK-eEbfyjp5yp0' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>the McLaughlin'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06566107607916992539noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360279.post-5344395702601026262010-09-14T09:35:00.002-07:002010-09-14T09:44:06.294-07:00County FairI don't know what it is, but every year we go to the fair it turns out being perfect weather. We got the kids unlimited ride passes because they wanted to spend as much time as possible there. In the afternoon Bryan took Jake and Kate to start riding rides while I stayed home with sleeping Ian. They spent several hours and then came home for dinner and we all went back for the evening. The afternoon was warm without being too warm and by dark we all put on the jackets we brought. We had some treats, listened to music, and the kids rode rides till we were all exhausted. What a great time.<br /><div><embed src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=lt&il=1&channel=1873497445011989818&site=widget-3a.slide.com" style="width:426px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:426px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&at=un&id=1873497445011989818&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/p1/1873497445011989818/lt_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&at=un&id=1873497445011989818&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/p2/1873497445011989818/lt_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=lt&at=un&id=1873497445011989818&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/p4/1873497445011989818/lt_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>the McLaughlin'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06566107607916992539noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360279.post-66025934721200015442010-09-13T11:58:00.003-07:002010-09-13T12:02:31.947-07:00Bear LakeEven with all the traveling we did this summer we were able to squeeze in a few trips up to the lake. I guess that is part of what makes summer feel like summer to us. Ian was not mobile yet so it made it really easy to keep an eye on him. Jake and Kate love everything about being up there. The only bummer is that it was a bit on the windy side. Other than that there are few things that beat a family day at the lake.
