Our Family Keeps Growing.

On Friday, November 13, 2009, the newest member of our family entered the world. She made her grand entrance at 9:35 AM after a 6-hour labor. She was 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 18 in. long. Both Mother and baby are doing well, and everyone is healthy.

Lillian joins proud parents Michael & Rebecca, and brother James.

Mother and baby will be released from the hospital on Sunday the 15th.

Halloween 2009

James had a rather enjoyable Halloween. He got to carve pumpkins, dress up in a costume of one of his favorite characters, and even got to go trick-or-treating with his cousin.

James carved his pumpkin on the day before Halloween (actually Daddy did most of it). But he had fun pulling the seeds out of the pumpkin, and then helping Daddy scrape out the guts.

On Halloween, James got to dress up as Mickey Mouse. Mom spend several days making the costume, and James really enjoyed being "Mouse". The hardest part of the costume to deal with were the ears. James liked having them on...outside. As soon as we ever went inside, the ears came off. And, that was only after he allowed the ears to stay on at all.

Overall James really enjoyed this years' Halloween, and we look forward to next year with two kids.

James is 2

On August 10, James turned 2 years old. To celebrate we had a family BBQ. Most of our family that is around here came, and we had a fun time. James was the center of attention, which is not uncommon even when it is not his birthday. He got lots of good presents, but what he liked most was his Birthday Cake. He loves cake, among other things. So we have officially started the terrible 2s, but unofficially they started months ago, but things are getting better.

It is a Girl!

Micheal and I are expecting our second child this year, and it is a Girl! The due date is December 2nd, but we will just have to wait and see when she decides to come. We are both excited, but as for James well, only he knows how he feels about becoming a big brother. We have yet to pick out a name. I am leaving it up to Michael this time, because I was the one who chose James, Michael just had to accept it, so I told him that he could pick the name for our second child, but I have to like it as well. She is a healthy and strong little girl, and she lets Mommy know it everyday. Some days our worse than others.

James' Second Trip to Bear Lake

This summer Mike's Grandpa and Grandma Wilson held a family reunion. For the first day of the reunion we went to Bear Lake, rented jet skiies, and relaxed on the beach. James is too young to go on a jet ski, but not too young to play in the sand and the water. James really enjoyed playing on the beach, and he loved the water, just like his Daddy. Michael drove the jet skiis, and I just relaxed on the beach.

James' First Trip to Bear Lake

Michael and I decided to take a short trip over to Bear Lake the other day because we all needed a break. This little trip was James' first visit to Bear Lake.

Last Summer we went over to Bear Lake overnight but we never were able to go to the beach, so James had never actually seen the Lake up close, and had never been in the water. At first, James did not want to go near the water, but after Mommy got Daddy to wade in the water with her, James decided it was okay until Mommy stepped away so she could get a picture of him and Daddy. He did not like that at all. He began to be a little frightened of the water. Daddy was finally able to get James to settle down, after which, he enjoyed the water a lot. He also had some fun on the beach with Daddy.

Is Spring Ever Coming?

Just when we thought that Winter was over, and Spring was upon us, we got a lot more snow. James decided to explore a little...

...but got more than he bargained for.

Welcome!

After much prodding and demanding, it has been decided that we, the South Logan Fairbanks have created a blog. On this blog you will be able to view some pictures, read about things going on in our lives, and perhaps other stuff, maybe. We hope to have our first real post very soon, so please check back. If you felt that this intro was a little short, please feel free to read it again.
