Haircut time!

Logans hair before a haircut..

Logan did awesome for his first haircut! WOOHOO! We just did scissors to chop the mullet coming on..and take some inches off since it was getting a little crazy and to just "clean it up". Didn't know what to expect of course so we got toys, books to keep him busy and he sat in daddy's lap and was really still for the first part, he didn't even look back as I was cutting his neck line. He wiggled at the end and we kept him going with books and of course the spray bottle which he would keep on spraying till he has drenched the whole floor if we let him. So he did great. fast haircut in 15 minutes. so not perfect but he looks so handsome and didn't even cry!

having fun with daddy

looks like a nest..

the funniest part was when he wanted to wear the cape still so we put it on him like hero cape and he had a blast running around for a while it was so cute! he likes to hide around the corner in the kitchen..

I don't know why the grumpy face here.I think he didn't want me to stop him for a pic..sorry!

Logans 1st time at the ZOO!

(Yup I'm a little behind blogs when some of these things really happened but I have found the time now to get some done..slowly but surely...)

So Logan had a blast at the zoo.. he was everywhere.. he even scuffed his knee one time when he was running too fast for himself(he does that a lot,always has a scratch on his knee). He loved everything and nothing scared him...it was so fun to watch the penguins get fed.. and all the unique animals you forget about..I'm so glad he had so much fun!

Ya this monkey was crazy everywhere and was hilarious entertainment! Ya thats the crazy monkey in the skylight..

Does Logan want to take a pic?? I think not..

nice smile babe..

yup they are special.

K now whose the best hatching out of a the egg?? Ok Logan is the cutest but I win the best! Good try Chloe..I still love you..

Looks comfy right?

Chloe and Max look like they are having fun..

I love Chloes face here..

Logan loved the monkeys

another special face Chloe..we must be related!

We all had a blast with Grandma Heidi, Chloe and Max!

POOP! AGAIN??

So for the I don't know how many times now Logan likes to poop in the bath. So as he pooped in the bath tonight, first I wonder

1. Why does he never poop when Jesse is giving him a bath???

2. Is this major payback for apparently the number of times I did this to my mom whenever I got in water

3. You know I guess the water and relaxation of water could relax you and it just slips out I guess..

4. I'm so grateful for a patient, calm husband who calmly helps out and sees the best way to handle the scenario.

So as I am playing with Logan, talking to Jesse, Logan is having a good ol time in the bath like usual a huge poop goes floating across the scene! My FIRST reaction, getting angry "Why did you poop again for mommy????" Jesse comes right over to help and brings up the point that this is one of those moments that the more we freak or get mad the more he may do it or just be wondering why he is such a bad boy for just pooping when he was so comfortable right? so it was a good reminder and along with other thoughts on my mind from today to realize the times we can get angry or do outrageous things and really its not that big of a deal(yes if Logan starts running around the house pooping and laughing..consequences are coming.) but really I ask myself next time.." Did they do this on purpose? and "Is it really that big of a deal?" so we laugh, move on and say "Logan you pooped! , the poop goes in the toilet, not in the bath.."(He kinda gave a look of Ok...right..) We get him out and move on for the night.(Note: We actually have a kitchen strainer specifically for poop scooping the bath in his bathroom.)

Those Precious Little Ones

As I was babysitting Lillie, Kallie along with my boy. The oldest Lillie decided to get a spoon out of the drawer to play with so, like usually the younger ones followed with Kallie wanting and getting a spoon and Logan wanting one right after and getting one too. As I was sitting and watching them Lilly started to "feed" me something. So I took the spoon and pretended to eat. So I said "Yummy! Are you cooking?" and so Kallie and Logan started to follow and "cook" and pick up whatever on the ground and "feed" me. It was hilarious! I was having a good ol time being fed there food. Logan always says eggs since I let him help me cook whenever I can without it being a dangerous situation and he gets to crack the eggs. And so to make it even better they had half an easter egg sitting in the frontroom so they started to eat out of the egg. so it continued for a few minutes before they moved onto the next game. I continued to give them compliments and say "Yummy!" with enthusiasm to make them feel special which I love seeing the faces and laughs they gave as we played(the ages are 18 months, 19 months, and 3 years old). So really what this is all about is...how amazing it is to really "behold" these little ones and see how they are really teaching us about the simple things in life and what really matters, whatever simple thing you need to learn at the moment.. at this moment I needed to remember that just being there is important, playing is important, "play is a childs work" ,and really what we need to do is just "behold" these little ones..

Where did the time go???

Our little man is 18 months old!?? I can't believe how fast time goes.. I know we always say that but really is seems like yesterday that Logan was born and our lives are changed for the better! So here is some of what Logan is up to now-

Height-33 inches

Weight-22 lbs 6 oz-he made it over 20 pounds finally!(I didn't mind the lighter baby.)

-says daddy(it was so cute one day jesse was working on him to say it and he got it and was pacing up and down the hallway saying dad-dy, dad-dy. it was adorable! now gotta get mommy down but mom is good too.

-calls an airplane ee(just like saying the letter e) and signs it whenever one goes by and as long as they don't come too low it wont scare him.

-calls mommy mom or ma, grandma mah, and max ma so it gets a little confusing who he is talking about there.

-he calls his Aunt Aub "ah"

-loves goldfish still and calls them gol or fish

-loves to see fish at the store or loves dogs just does not want them to come too close to him but got him to pet a dog so he is getting more comfortable

-likes to smell flowers

-loves talking on the phone

-started to try wearing our shoes around the house

-hates seeing daddy leave to work its a big ordeal to say goodbye to daddy, give kisses and hug and emphasize daddy will come back and then he gets to push the garage button when he leaves(and Jesse thought that day would never come when Logan wanted daddy more)

-loves to dance still! we will see if he will be a dancer in the future! he has some pretty sweet moves and spins now and plays ring around the rosies and falls down.

-loves to read.. I hope he continues to love books!

-loves doing wheels on the bus and can do the hands for the wheels, "move on back", the wipers on the bus, the kids going yak yak, and the mommies say shh, shh (it was so cute the day he just wanted to show us the wheels on the bus. gotta love it)

-you know maybe I'm done making my huge list of how much we love this little boy and how much his personality is coming out( I hope that brain of his is smarter than us) and we love how active, playful and how much he loves being outside!

-ok I'm not done..he loves to hug my belly where baby sister is and kiss my belly. its so cute! He will be such a good big brother! so excited for years to come of watching him grow up!

-loving when he wakes up its a loud "mmmoooooooom" or dad

EASTER 2011

Easter was fun with family stuffing our faces, doing the egg hunt which Logan searched for his eggs while I was all enthusiastic "Logan look an egg!" and sometimes he would go grab it so it was fun and ended up pulling Logan around in a wagon but Logan found his eggs fast! And most important of all this is another time of the year we can celebrate Christ all week and think of all he has done for us and will continue to do for us as we think of his resurrection and all that he has given us.. hope..peace..love..eternal life.. Its good to have this week to remember..

Baby Girl!

On Monday we finally got to find out what we are having! yup a little girl!.. then my thought is Logan got hair that I was not expecting cuz I was a baldy till 2 so now is my girl gonna be the baldy and Logan can have ponytails done with his hair.. well we will see when she comes.. just so excited that we are blessed with another baby and love seeing that ultrasound and the heartbeat gets me everytime! Its just too amazing to me to see that little miracle in my belly.. how it fits in there still amazes me! and all I have to say is that girl would not wake up for anything so they could see her heart and other measurements better..with finger pushing and all she would not wake for an hour..must of been nap time..but all is well and healthy and they said in the 40% for weight so we will see where that puts her at when she comes! We are so excited and since Jesse never grew up with a sister he is a little nervous but so excited to see him have his little girl. can't wait to see her!

got a foot pic! so cute and little!

got some cool 3d this time
