Already An Eventful Summer

Okay, so far this summer we have bought a zoo pass, been camping and have given Logan his first haircut. Logan loves the zoo. A wise purchase. Camping was a blast. We only wish it could have been longer. However, with Seth studying for boards and me in school, we decided one weekend right now was sufficient. Maybe later in the summer we can go again. Logan played in the dirt, ate sticks and rocks, dove into the lake (with the help of some friends) and loved it, and got his first bonk on the head. His first haircut was pretty dramatic. He doesn't like the clippers at all but once we figured out that if we turn the water on in the sink he'll be happy, the rest was a smooth process.

Big Changes

As busy as we are and as crazy as life is, we are going to be experiencing some big changes before year end. Yeppers, you guessed it...we are having a baby!!! We actually found out the day before Logan's birthday but thought we'd wait to tell everyone. We are due December 7th. I've been sicker than I ever was with Logan and the past few weeks have been somewhat rough. However, I am starting to feel better and life is getting somewhat back to normal. The kids will be 20 months apart and we are trying to keep in mind Logan will be older than he is now when the baby comes! We are really excited to have our family growing. At times we wonder what we will do with two kids but most of the time we can't wait! We'll keep you posted as time goes on!

A Few New Things

Okay, I know everyone is dying to get to the good stuff......birthday pictures and video. However, I need to tell you of a few exciting things! Thanks to Macey Bishop, you can now view the entire videos that I create! No more cheap software that only lets me do 30% of my video! However, as good as I make this sound, I am still working on uploading my videos and getting them into viewing mode for you! Please be patient, you know who you are dealing with! Woohoo! Second, again thanks to Macey Bishop I now have enabled the 'comments' section of the blog. So, if anyone would like to make comments (be nice ;) please feel free to do so. We'd love to hear from you! Okay, enough of me.......on with the show!

Happy Birthday!

April 3rd was Logan's 1st birthday! We celebrated with a huge hamburger cake (made by mom) and wafer cookie fries on the side! We had a few friends over to help us eat all the treats and watch Logan open his presents. He wasn't too sure about all of the people looking at him and singing and mom helped him blow out the candle (much to dad's dismay). Logan's friend Jace Birch gave him a really cool beanie and mom and dad gave him a set of big Lego blocks! I think we are playing with them more than Logan. That could be because we aren't sharing very well! Logan is doing great! Not yet walking but he is climbing the stairs (thanks to dad)! We decided we can't call him baby anymore because he is now a big boy and oh my how he acts like it! He is learning and growing everyday and we have so much fun with him! We are so blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy, happy boy!

Crawling!!!

On the last day of January, Logan decided he wanted something bad enough to just go after it! Unfortunately, the free software I downloaded to be able to convert my movie clips so you can see them will only let me convert 30% without having to pay $70! Sorry everyone but I'm cheap and you can get the general idea (who hasn't seen a baby crawl?). Anyway, we have been working with him for weeks and we knew he could do it but he just didn't want to. Last night I was in a meeting down stairs and I could hear Seth and Logan upstairs laughing. When I came up to see what was going on after my meeting Seth showed me this video. Apparently his toys aren't motivating enough, he has to have the keys! Right now we are really excited about this little mile stone. However, we know that once he gets good at it, we are in big trouble! He is already learning that he can pull himself up to things, open cabinets and drawers, and 'no' is a game!
