Logan's Cowboy Day at School

Logan had Cowboy day at school on Friday (September 25th). He got to dress up like a cowboy, they had a program where each class sang a song (Logan's class sang "Home on the Range") and then they did a combined class dance. It was super fun to watch. Then after the parents left they had a pretend fire and pretend to roast marshmallow, then for snack they had a "Chuck Wagon Breakfast" of pancakes with juice. This was Logan's favorite part of the entire day.

I have attached a video of his song and I hope it works because I have never done this before. But my mom will kill me if I don't try.

First day of fall

As most of you know Fall is my favorite time of year. So this year me and some friends (Barbra, Ivy & Angie) had a first day of Fall celebration. We started the day by taking the kids to a local orchard and did some apple picking. We ended up with apples, peaches, pears, and a baby watermelon that is as big as an apple (you pick it, you buy it and Logan picked it).

Then later that night we all got back together and had a bon-fire. We roasted marshmallows, and we all brought a fall treat. The kids ran around crazy and we let them throw leaves in the fire and they would say "Thank you for the fall". Cheezy but fun. And of course that night we were having so much fun I forgot to take pictures.

A great day at the fair!!

The fair is a great tradition in our family. Everyone loves it even Scott. We had a blast this year. We went with out good friends Josh and Joy and their darling baby boy Ethan. We were there for 9 hours!!! We did everything you could think of, TWICE!

Scott, Josh & Logan all rode this bull. Scott got on and was trying to be a PBR champ and with one hand in the air was thrown off in about 2 seconds. Josh used both hands and did a lot better but Logan won them all. Logan was scared to death but still wanted to do it, so the man controlling the bull went way slow and warned Logan every time it was about to buck or change directions. He was so proud when he got off.


Best veggie there is!!!


We went on this slide about 10 times. Aubrey was so annoyed that she wasn't tall enough to go by her self.


The kids always love to ride the ponies. Logan's was named Duke and Aubrey's was named Rocky. The guy let them go for a really long time and they were still annoyed when they had to get off.

Happy Birthday Logan!!!

My wonderful little man turned 5 on September 7th.


This year his birthday landed on Labor day, so he ended up with a 3 day birthday celebration. On Monday our little family with Grandma B gave him his presents first thing in the morning. All he wanted was "Spiderman stuff" and that is exactly what he got, he spent the entire day playing with them. . Then that evening we had cake and Ice-cream, ordered pizza and had movie night (Scooby-Doo meets Batman and Robin).








Then on Tuesday we had his Birthday party. It was Spiderman mania. We all meet at the park where the kids had a water balloon fight, played spiderman tag and tried to knock spiders off the table with splash balls. I think the kids had fun. Logan has a great group of friends and he LOVED, LOVED all his presents (Thank you all again!).









Finally, Wednesday (his first day back to school) he was given a special spotlight. He got to lead the class in the pledge, then his teacher read from a sheet all about Logan that they had sent home for me to fill out. He stood up in front of the class and passed around some photos of himself as a baby and of the family. They gave him a special crown sang to him and let him pick a prize from their treasure box. He picked a whistle.






We love Logan and are so lucky to have him as part of our family. He keeps us on out toes and laughing. I am glad that he is mine.

Dentist Check ups

I know that going to the dentist is not a huge deal and every body goes through it, but #1 I just got a new camera and everything is picture worthy and #2 this time neither of my kids had any caviteies!!!!! Again you my say big deal, well if you could see the kicking and screaming we go through every day to get their teeth brushed you would know why. Finally all the hard work is worth it.

They were both really good for the dentist. They both had to take their build-a-bear animals with them, but the furry friends kept them brave.





Aubrey hated the floride that they brush on their teeth.

Fall Baseball

Have I told you that I LOVE little boy baseball? Well if not, I DO! These little boys are the funniest things in world to watch. At the first they are all serious and as the game goes on they start day dreaming or having grass fights or dog pileing to get the ball. Half have to pee and they rest are being screamed at by their very serious dads to "Keep their eyes on the ball". I love it all!

Luckily Logan likes it to. He is pretty good and has some great friends on the team. I have also meet some wonderful women on the sidelines.

This is Logan playing 3rd base. They don't get people out so why not take a break?


This is Logan on base. He usually has to be reminded to run to the next base because he is to busy chit-chatting with the players from the other team.


Now when it comes to batting he is very serious. HE LOVES to bat. His entire goal is to "SLAM IT". And when he does, his chest swells, he give the entire crowd the double thumbs up and talked about it the rest of the night. As he should. Did I mention that I LOVE little boy baseball?

Aubrey's First Day of Dance!!

Aubrey has been doing Kindermusik since she was 4 months old and she and I loved it. This year due to personal reasons her wonderful teacher Miss Paulette decided not to teach. So when I asked Aubrey what she wanted to do instead she didn't hesitate when she said DANCE!!!

SO after much, much, much research I finally found a class that allowed two years in and was held while Logan was at school. And how funny that the dance studio just happens to be owned by Miss Paulette's sister. Small world.

Aubrey could hardly stand waiting to go. We went to the studio a month ago to sign up and she asked me constantly whether or not we could go to dance that day. She was so excited when the day finally came, she was smiles the entire morning.

The door to the studio is purple (obviously) and she thinks its "Awesome". And I am in love with her darling outfit.




This is Miss Amber her teacher. She is cute and bubbly and has her hands full with a bunch of toddlers.


I am pretty sure she was having a blast. She followed directions pretty well and was an obvious leader in the class. She has no reservations and loads of self confidence (I wish I did). I think it is going to be a fun year.
