At Ben Gill
It is SO very hot (100+) this summer, so it is really hard to be outside. I have taken Logan to this little playground at Ben Gill a few mornings around 7:30 or 8:00. It stays shaded until about 10:30 or 11:00, but we are long gone before that! He LOVES the slide and picking up bottle caps people have left behind!
summer pics
I have been super busy these days, so I haven't updated in FOREVER... so until I can, here are a few photos!!

a little of everything about nothing
I have been so busy that I have not posted really at all this summer. That is the way I wanted it, so I am not complaining! Last summer I had alot of post-pregnancy issues and didn't really leave the house once Logan was about 10 days old. I guess I am just making up for staying in so long... Logan and I have only stayed home 1 day since I officially started summer. We do not always go on long outings, but we always "go".
Since he is so young, it doesn't take lots of money to make him happy, so we have been having "frugal fun" for the most part!
We have a zoo membership that we have used several times and taken different people with us.
We go swimming at least once a week (thanks Angie and Holly) in "big pools", and swim in our little home pool.
We usually make a trip to Target, Walmart, CVS, and a few other stores having great deals during the week. (I am SOOO glad I bought a DVD player because it has been a lifesaver getting him in and out of the car.)
We went bowling with Janet her kiddos... it was really fun and all free since they didn't have shoes to fit Logan. He really enjoyed bowling, but my back hurt from "helping" him :) We stayed and even "played" games for about 30-45 minuted after bowling. He is his father's son!!! He loved all the big video games.
We went to Chuck E Cheese and it was free (lol - kind of... THANKS JANET). Once again, he LOVED the games and climbing on everything. Now that he is walking, it really is much easier!! everyone said it would be harder?? I love the pic of him and Bailey because they were holding n to each other... the car ride freaked them out, but it was too cute! (There was no crying)
Today we went to several stores and then I thought we would take a "field trip" to PETCO.. He loved it! He really liked the iguana... and the fish... oh, and the 2 cats they had! I guess someone will have to tell Logan his mommy and daddy are allergic, and so is he!! LOL
Well, We have been busy, and I do not plan on slowing down. I am enjoying this summer, but unfortunately it is going by at WARP SPEED! ugh... I really want to stay home! YES..I get frustrated at Logan and I feel like I can't rinse one more bottle, change one more diaper, pat him one more time, or rock him one more minute... but the thought quickly fades. I love that he gives me hugs and kisses now. The ones where he is half asleep but pops him head back up to give me an eye-closed, making sure momma is still there, little peck on the lips - OH MAN, he just melts my heart ( a phrase my dads always uses).
I have had such a blast, I forgot till just now that my AC was out for about 11 days in June!!! Wow, how time makes the bad things fade :)

WALKING EVERYWHERE!
A few days after Logan's 1st birthday, he started taking 2-3tentative steps. I thought it might still take him a long time before he was fully walking (because of how long it took him to actually crawl instead of scoot), but he is off and running!!!! He is soooo funny! I just laugh at how he walks with his hands up by his chest and little tummy and booty sticking out.

summertime
I haven's posted much since my "summer" started... I have been busy and the internet at home has not cooperated!
Every day so far this "summer" we play outside and take a walk around 7:30 and I have gotten Logan to take his first nap at about 9am until about 10:30am... I love a schedule!!!! After his nap, we get going and have been swimming, shopping, out to lunch,visiting people, etc.... He really does not like the car seat, so one day I decided to hook up a portable DVD player and he seems to like it much better!!! He is still rear-facing, but you can get anything to work when it seems necessary!!!!! His second nap has been partially in the car, but he has stayed asleep after I transition him into his crib.
He is REALLY eating better now - He has been eating bananas and yogurt, puffs and cheerios, and even ate some spaghetti and grilled cheese! I am SOOO thankful! I just do not want his progress to change when I go to a workshop next week.... WE SHALL SEE!!!!
This past weekend was full of activity! We had my SIL's baby shower and my husbands family reunion and my family reunion, too. His is farther away and we did not go. We went to see my family for about 2 hours and got a picture of 5 generations.... PRETTY RARE!!!!
UPCOMING EVENTS - freezer meal group tomorrow, 1 year checkup and shopping Thursday, zoo and swimming on Friday. . . more pictures soon!!!!!

Logan's 1st Birthday Party!
So very hard to believe Logan had his 1st birthday party Saturday! He has gotten so big and the time really has flown by!!!
Dear Logan,
It seems like yesterday that we found out we were going to have you...and the love and joy in our hearts has grown ever since that day. We love you so much and you are such a blessing to us. Everyday brings something new and each day you hold a bigger part of our hearts. From the moment I heard you cry, held you in my arms, smelled your skin, and kissed you, you had me hooked!!! Mommy and Daddy Love you!!!! You will never just how much you mean to us, until you have a little on of your own....which WILL be a long time from now!!! lol
It was so hot outside Saturday and there was no breeze, but our guests seemed to still enjoy the party. We started with cupcakes and punch inside. Logan does not like sweets, but he did give us a few photo opts with his cupcake! He proceeded to get the icing in his hair and all over him, but didn't really eat it! After that, the day went a little downhill... a 45 min nap all day had him super sleepy and allergies and a cold had him a little fussy. I finally got him to take a nap (while all our guests were doing who knows what)and he slept just enough to stay up the rest of the party!
We headed outside to play a little bit. We borrowed a bounce house from my SIL and BIL (thank goodness). We also had the baby pool set up and all the kid toys outside.
Logan got SOOOO many gifts.... We are blessed with a wonderful family and group of friends who love Logan so very much!
Thanks to my wonderful hubby for cleaning and cooking and so many others things to prepare for the party!
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US CELEBRATE, AND THE LUCKY ONES WHO WERE ALLOWED TO HELP US CLEAN UP!!! lol
