4th of July 2011

How did I forget to post about this!? Hello fun day I put the pics on my computer and was posting so many posts that I had not done yet and I realized as I was going through pics I didn't post about the 4th and there was so many fun pics I still have to even though its WAY behind..oh well.. so the 4th was fun like usual with parade in the morning. good to be with family and see friends! Logan was a little more into the parade and we tried to get some candy for him but most of it I didn't want him gagging on..sorry bud..love you too much..but it was fun to just hang out and enjoy the sun! Then later cooked up stuff for the family dinner later while Logan napped and then went to see Monte Carlo with my mom, Jaime and Aub. cute movie..then got logan ready to swim in the kiddie pool with jacob and play till family dinner and fireworks. all in all of course of day of fun!

does jesse look like he is having fun getting the pool blown up??

Air Show 2011

We had to take Logan to the Rexburg Air Show at the Legacy Flight Museum since he sees the airplanes fly over our place all the time and loves them! So he definitely had fun like we expected and was going around everywhere to see all the planes they had displayed. He loved the "big" planes as he pointed them out and the nice classic cars. Then he had to dance to the jazz band that was playing. He was cute and funny like always.

pointing out the other airplanes

gotta love this face here that I got lucky to catch

We had to be careful around the classic cars since he wanted to touch those when they were no touchy..but it was a blast and gotta love the fun summer stuff

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..
