Bedtime Stories

The few nights that Andy is actually home, he makes sure that Logan gets a bedtime story before he goes off the dreamland....

These stories usually include a rap somewhere in there about how cute Logan is.

Andy cracks me up because the words are always different but the beat...always the same.

I love these two guys!

A Rig of Bamboo

So I have to laugh at myself because sometimes I just don't make any sense to anyone except myself. Whenever someone goes on vacation and brings me back a souvenir I get this song that pops into my head, and has ever since I learned it back in elementary school. I don't know why and can't really explain it, it's just one of those things I suppose. My parents came back from Puerto Vallarta and gave Logan this awesome hat below (a rig of bamboo)...

The Princess Pat Live in a tree

She sailed across the seven seas

She sailed across the channel too

And took with her a rig of bamboo

A rig of bamboo now what is that?

It's something made by the Princess Pat

It's red and gold and purple too

That's why it's called a rig of bamboo

Now Captain Jack had a mighty fine crew

He sailed across the channel too

But his ship sank and yours will too

If you don't take a rig of bamboo...

See like I said total and complete nonsense!!!

Fun with 'Z'

Logan and Zurik, the best of buds...

Much fun is had with these two studs...
Someday they will run and play...
They make us smile everyday!!!

(Thanks Aunt Rach for the cute pictures!!!)

Birthday Brother

So I just wanted to wish my little brother a very happy birthday! He turned 24 yesterday, wow where have the years gone? If any of you knew me when I was younger you'd know that it is a pure miracle that he's lived to be this old. Whether I was putting him the dryer, duct taping him in a box on top of my wagon and pushing him down the driveway, or simply tying him up with yarn or the shoelaces from my shoes...I've loved him every step of the way. We have many stories the two of us, we spent 7 years just the two of us until our little sister came along. We've had so many good times, and some bad times. You were a cry baby when you were little, (I had everything to do with that. Sorry!) But through them all I've loved him being my brother, even when you chased me around the house with the BB Gun...You drove me crazy in Jr. high, and we almost killed each other in High school...(you should have just held my banana peel :-) )
It has been so much fun watching him grow up, get married, and start his own little family. Wes, you are a wonderful brother, uncle, father, and example. Everyone around you gravitates towards your happy, easy going spirit. Happy Birthday, and here's to many more!

Love you!!!!

The 1st of many more...

Today is an exciting day. Logan is 1 month old, and time is just flying by like everyone said it would. He has been such a great baby, so small yet his personality is already shining though. Here are just a few of his favorite things:

His swing, where he spends countless hours back and forth back and forth...

Oakley

Everyday Oakley runs around the house searching for Logan first thing. It's really cute, then he'll find a way to lay by him wherever he is. Even if there is no room for him...he'll just make some.

He is happiest in the mornings and I can usually get a smile out of him when we have our morning "dance" around the house.

Bath time...he loves it when dad is there to help out. His favorite part is afterwards when we wrap him in his hooded towel. (Thanks Trent & Laura)


And last but not least...Nap time. One thing Logan has inherited from me is my LOVE of sleep. Most days we catch a nap together, that's my favorite part of the day!

Some of my favorite things about Logan:

1) His sweet spirit, he is the most content baby

2) His chubby cheeks

3) The way he turns his head towards my voice

4) When he won't let Andy put him to bed, but the second I pick him up he falls right asleep

5) His little smiles

6) The way he makes nothing else in the world matter

7) Even if he's sleeping the second Andy gets home, he wakes up to the sound of Andy's voice.

He loves his daddy.

8) When he stretches his little arms above his head and just leaves them there

9) His little feet

10) When he kicks his legs up and down when you're trying to change his diaper

I can't even remember my life without him. What in the world did I do? Logan we love you so much, you have honestly been a true blessing coming into our lives. Here's to many more months of happiness and growing together!
