11 Months, 1 more to GO!!!

This morning I woke up at 4:00 in a slight panic..."Oh my gosh!" As I sat straight up out of bed. Andy sits up too wondering what is on fire, "What's the matter?!?!" he says. Trying not to laugh I respond, "Logan turned 11 months yesterday, that means today I have less than a month to plan his birthday party!" He rolls his eyes and says, "Go back to sleep!"

Yes, you heard me right, Logan is 11 months old!!! All I have to say to that is What THE...?!?!?

Everyday is such a new adventure with him. Everyday it's into something new, or doing something that I've never seen or heard before...I LOVE IT!!!

Lately his favorite spot to sit and play is on my treadmill, with it turned off of course. Logan playing on this, has been my excuse for not using it...yeah that excuse isn't going to last that long I know :) He's playing on it right now as I'm doing this.

Logan and Oakley have become BEST buds. The two of them together really cracks me up!

The last little bit we have had a lot of little piggies out and about. He gets this from his dad. Shoes...HISTORY Socks...Not a chance! In the car, they are off. The second he gets in the door, before his coat is even off...there go the socks!

Everyday...this is going on somewhere in the house. But at least he always leaves them all together so they don't get lost :S

He LOVES laying on the floor on his back, kicking his legs, and waving his arms around. He will laugh forever doing this...he used to do this when he was little, but hasn't done it for a while. I guess he forgot how cool it was to do this! Because everyday for the last month he's been doing this again. It's hysterical!

Bath-time! A wonderful past time. He will go stand or sit in the bathroom until I put him in the tub. Last night he sat in there for 20 minutes laying on his back, and cried like the dickens when I picked him up and took him out. So I put him in the tub and he was happy as can be. I guess everybody likes being clean...

Again with the dog...best buddies. I am really thankful though that they get along so well. Because not all dogs like kids/babies as we are finding out. They will entertain each other for hours, and play like crazy!

Of course until someone gets hurt!

LOGAN- we love you so much! These last 11 months have been the best of my life, and we look forward to many, many more. Love you chunky monkey!

It's my PaRtY...I'll cry if I want to!

My birthday was January 9th, and it was the best ever! I only wanted to cry at the end becuase it was over. The day went by at lightening speed! I woke up thinking "27...that's old! I wonder if I could still pass as 25?" Andy let me sleep in, and I went downstairs to a Creight paper and balloon filled room! I was shocked and excited, it was so cute of him to decorate just for me! We went to Paradise Bakery for a wonderful lunch with family and friends. So many people came it was awesome! Then did a little shopping, but was not successful...oh well!

Andy then took me to The Roof Restaurant down town. It was FaBuLous! I love that place. The food was great like always, and it was so fun to have some one on one time with my guy. We left and headed home...only to be welcomed by some close friends....Andy had secretly invited them over for dessert!

Natalie, Jill, Me, Amy, Candice, and Rachel

My favorite kind of cake, chocolate with chocolate frosting...yum!!!
Candice, Tom, Adam and Jill

Even Logan got to stay up a little later to party with us!
We played Rock Band all night, Andy on the drums, Brig was an awesome rocker he even sang some songs with an Australian accent, and Chad killed it on the guitar. It was hysterical! We partied until 1:00 am, that's way past my bedtime, I am 27 now you know!

I didn't take near enough pictures! Thank you everyone for making this the best birthday ever! Thanks Andy for all the time and effort you put into making sure it was a success, and one that I will never forget. I love you forever and ever!

Sweet 28, yeah Baby!

Andy's Birthday was January 5th, and it is a special day. He shares his birthday with his 3 sister's (they are quadruplets) and every year it gets funner and funner

He is such an amazing guy, every day he surprises me more and more with how loving and kind he is to others. I am not ashamed to say that he definitely is the 'better half.'

Yummiest Birthday cake ever, thanks Ash for the recipe

Even Logan got a taste or two!I tried to convince Andy to take the day off work, but he didn't listen to me. So we both worked all day, then grabbed a quick dinner, and headed to the Draper Temple. Our ward was doing a special session so we went and did that. It was a really different, and amazing experience.
We love you Andy, you are the best husband and dad. I love watching you play with Logan and teach him things. It's no wonder he says 'dada' all the time!
I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow!

Christmas time!

Well better late than never right?!?!

So just a quick re-cap of our Christmas week.

We went with the Welch's to a Christmas sing-a-long...it was crazy crowded, but the company was all that mattered!

Logan, Andy, Tenille, Trent, Laura, Travis, and sweet Sadie
Rylee and me...it was so FREeZiNG!!! that nightChristmas Eve we split time between our two families. It was so much fun this year with cousins on both sides so close in age with Logan. New Christmas jammies, bubble wrap and toys...he was up all night!

Then Christmas morning just snuck up right on us. Logan loved all of his toys! It was so fun to watch him get excited over the wrapping paper.

Off to Christmas parties...we had 4 to get to throughout the day! We started out real happy

Logan almost liked Oakley's toys more than his own!

It was such a great day. So much family, and fun, and laughter all smashed into one day. I just wish that it lasted a little bit longer!

The most wonderful time of the year!

Well this is it! The week of Christmas has finally come, and we couldn't be more excited!!!!
Merry Christmas to you all, with lots of love and laughter!!!!
