nails...

One of Logan's favorite things to do is to have her nails "done." She has been going to the nail salon for quite some time and loves to have them painted! Recently, I let her start getting her fingernails painted as well (except for Mr. Thumbkins), and she picks the color! Who cares if it is bright orange, shes two :-) This time she (thankfully) picked pink!

park fun...

We used to go to the park all the time, but this summer it has seriously been SOO hot that if the outdoor activity did not include some type of water - we didn't do it! However, this morning I opened the door and it was nice and cool out so we met some friends at the park and ended up staying 2 hours!!!

going down the slide by herself - for the first time!!!

sandy little toes....I love!!

ooo....this face!!!!

We cannot wait until Fall when we can be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather more often!!

just a few...

Just a few things about my girl....

shes beautiful..

even though I never thought possible, I love her more each day.

Enough with the mushy though...

Yep, she still loves her thumb (Mr. Thumbkins) and is a total ham.

She is really into "writing" these days, but prefers a pen and a book. A book that does not need little pen marks on it is her favorite. She has an entire notebook full of blank paper just for her; but nope, she prefers my calender :-) Crayons are not really her thing, but she is getting more into markers. And scissors...Oh My - I really sense a little hair snipping before long. She always says, "only cut paper?" And today she says, "only cut paper? Not my fingernails?" Um...no, please do not cut your fingernails with scissors sweetie, or anything else on your body.

This girl is completely potty trained!! WhooHoo - no more diapers!!! She has been daytime potty trained since about 22 months, but just in the past few weeks has she started to wake up dry, so I figured it was time. And so far, no accidents!! Go Logan!

Her little (big) personality just keeps coming, and I am soo happy with that! She comes up with something new everyday. Her latest thing is hysterical (we think - haha)! Anytime you ask her something, she responds politely with, "Um, yes I do." Me: "Logan, do you need to use the potty?" "Um, no I do not." Logan, do you want cookies, "um, yes I do." haha - she says it so serious too, and about 500 times a day I hear either "yes I do," or "no I do not." What a hoot :-)

love this foot..:-)

pudding painting...

With all of the back to school stuff going on....Logan of course had to have new back to school items :-) I think she has quite a few new packs of markers, crayons and paint! We got out the new paint today and she had a great time! She wanted to do finger and foot prints and then she wrote her name, and drew circles! After she was "done" with that, mom asked if I had ever let her paint with pudding...nope! So I cheated and opened up a pudding pack and let her go to town! She had a blast!

love this.....:-)

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!
