sprinkler fun...

My little water baby loves all things water, in all forms! She likes being in a big pool, little pool, water table, and really loves the sprinkler!

She wants to go outside ALL the time...

and doesn't want to come inside for anything.

look close at the picture...do you see what I see?

Uh huh...she thinks anytime she is outside and around water, she can use the bathroom.

Gross, but kind of funny :-)

She always does it then goes and stands over the sprinkler to "rinse off."

Somebody should watch this child...

needless to say...boots had to be washed.

Yes, she choose this bathing suit, and the boots. I dig it.

I love this picture because it shows her cute birth mark! I have no idea whether it is a birth mark, or just a plain ole' freckle, but I like to call it her birth mark :-) She had it when she arrived....that counts as a birth mark I think!

Miss Personality! We had company arrive to our house right as I took this picture, I guess she was showing out for them????

No caption needed.....thats just adorable :-)

We are loving summer, and enjoying summer evenings in the sprinkler!

Happy 4th...

So what if I am a few weeks late - it's still July :-) I wanted to take Logan's pictures this year in this dress b/c this is the same dress she wore last year in her pictures - seems as if most of her stuff from last year still fits - just a little short :-)

We had a wonderful 4th! We celebrated with wonderful friends at their family cookout a few night before where Logan saw fireworks, or "firemans" as she called them! She liked watching them but didn't seem overly impressed - maybe next year!

On the 4th - we had a cookout at our house - it was so nice to have all of our family and friends together! Logan LOVES having the attention and loves all of her family. We are blessed to have so many people who love and care for us - family is wonderful.

We swam in her "water pool" a lot of the day and that evening she got to do sparklers for the first time! She didn't know what to think at first - but after a few of them and deciding it wasn't going to hurt her - she had fun with them!!

I have pictures coming of our fourth - we had a wonderful time and hope everyone enjoyed their holiday as well!

comedian....

This girl just happens to be a regular ole' comedian! She has a crazy sense of humor, and is just hysterical when she gets on a roll!!

This is one of her latest tricks - she talks and sings out of the corner of her mouth. The picture does not do this justice, it is so funny! I can't help but laugh each time she does this!! It is so cute and she mostly sings like this. I have no idea why she does this, but we think it's cute.....sometimes :-)

This is her serious look - she sure gives off quite the look!! She will do this on command (feel like I'm talking about a dog - haha!) and she knows its funny when she does it!!

Oh.....Mr. Armpit! She is fascinated with her armpits! She is very ticklish! Sometimes she takes the handle off her kitchen sink and will be "washing her pits..." Sounds kind of gross typed out...but it's really funny when she does it!

Our little comedian makes us laugh daily :-)



love this girl...

She is a mess....and a half.

And I love this little mess and her "roar" bunches. 

Some exciting (a little late) news:

We moved! We closed on a new house on May 25th and spent our first night in the new house on June 10. We did a lot of work in the house - and now it is just perfect for our little family :-) We are very excited, but we are all still getting used to our new house!

Logan is sleeping in a big girl bed (pics coming soon). A real, live big girl bed. Sad :-(

Her crib converted into a full size bed and it is just beautiful. We spent a day last week picking out new bedding and a mattress for this big girl, it all came together beautifully. Not only does it look adorable, Logan loves it! We welcomed the changed for a few reasons, but the main reason being; this girl doesn't fit into a toddler bed too well.....and its not all that comfy while laying in the toddler bed for two hours trying to get a little one to sleep :-) Now that we are in a big bed, it is taking much less time for her to go to sleep, and is much more comfy for me :-) We have replaced the rocking chair (sad....again) with me laying with her and rubbing her back, singing to her, etc...I do realize at some point she will not need me to help her to sleep, but right now, she does - and I'm perfect with that. She will probably have to kick me out of her bed, hopefully not for a long time :-) She spent her first night in the big bed on June 29th.

Little miss is growing up and changing a bit too quickly! I wish I could freeze this age just for a little while. She is into everything, and yet - just so much fun right now. She comes up with new "sayings" that I think are just too funny not to write down somewhere! Here are a few recent things she has been saying...

"Mommy its too dark, I can hardly see my skin!"

"I'm not sleepy, only my eyes are..."

"I don't hardly know that one..." (about a song that she knows perfectly well, and didn't want to sing!)

"We're buddies!"

And her first bed-time prayer said all by herself:

"Dear Lord, Thank  you for this day and Mommy, Daddy, and precious baby Logan. In Jesus name we pray, Amen"

She is such a sweet girl with a huge heart, so thankful for her!

a little bit of everything :-)

Here is a little bit of everything from the last few months :-) I will do a few post like this until I get back to regular blogging!

My girl LOVES getting a pedicure! She asks to go all the time and is quick to tell me when she needs her toenails painted! She sits soo still while they do it. She brags on her toes for a few days after :-)

We had a first "real" boo-boo back a few months ago. O, what a little ham she is! When she fell, she thought about crying and making a big fuss, but then once I showed her the boo-boo on her knee, was so in love with her new boo-boo that pain took a back seat. She now thinks she should have a boo-boo on her at all times. The other day a spot (boo-boo) on her leg was going away (much to her dismay) and she told me she needed a new one - ok honey.

Logan started gymnastic early in February and finished out the year a few weeks ago. She loves gymnastics and you can often times find us playing gymnastics at home! She got a trophy and a metal on her last day, a she sure was proud. Im so proud of her and I was so proud that a lot of her family and friends were able to come see her perform!

This is one of the most recent pictures of Logan, but not one of my favorites - you know, because she is interested in anything BUT having her picture made these days. I do like this picture b/c the whole point of this little session was to show her growth :-) I took pictures of Logan in this exact dress and chair the exact time last year :-) I am hoping the dress doesn't still fit next year!!

Our little girl is growing up much to fast and if I could pause time right now, I think I would. She is so much fun. Some days are challenging, but overall -  this time in her life is wonderful.

wow

Im wiping the dust off the ole blog and plan to be back at it!! I miss blogging and have just decided to make time in my day (or at least a few times a week) to keep her up and running!! For now,  (while I start a few post to catch up!!) I leave you with a picture of the most adorable "pirate wink" you have ever seen :-)

egg hunting...

My girl didn't just have her first egg hunt this year - she had her first 3! What is it about these kiddos and picking up so quickly about "what to do..." with these eggs, this basket, etc...It took Logan NO time to figure out that these little plastic eggs had treats in them and she had to find them and put them in her bucket...crazy. She did the same at Halloween - after the first house, she had "trick-or-treat" down pat! Here she is with her Daddy and her very first Easter egg hunt (first b/c we didn't do one last year..whoops!) pondering just what to do! The second she is wearing her Easter dress! She looked so beautiful! The rest of my Easter pictures are on my memory card.....yep. They will come too at some point :-)
