Logan's First Birthday Party

Even though Logan's birthday isn't until next week, we had his birthday party last weekend while my family was here. We did it really relaxed (it really is more for Mom and Dad than baby at age 1, right?!!!), we just had a barbeque with both of our families. The weather was perfect, and we were lucky enough to use Dan's sisters house (thanks a bunch Becky and Scott!). Logan got some super fun toys, and I was even made fun of saying "this is exactly what I asked for"! (I meant Logan, But I really DID want the pass to thanksgiving point).
He loved his cake, I did cupcakes because i figured it would be a little less overwhelming to him. Is anyone surprised he ate it???

Wicked!

I went with some of Dans family on Saturday night to see the play Wicked. It was so fun to go with everyone, I loved the play even more the second time! Here is Katie, Tara, Emma, and Becky. This is my cute niece Rilee with her cousin Grace. Becky invited a lot of Scotts family too. Thanks Beck for taking us, we loved it!!!

Daddy Time

Dan was on call for a few days where he didn't get called too much. We were able to do a few things as a family, it was so nice to have a normal life even if it was temporary. We went to the park, Logan likes the park but usually only for about 30 minutes!going down the slide and (finally after a lot of hard work) getting his hat offswinging with Mommygetting ready to share a jelly sandwich with Nellie

We also made it to LJ's favorite place, the petting zoo! He loves to go see the animals! There was a field trip there at the same time so we didn't get to take a pony ride but everything else was great (including the weather).the animals dont scare him at allAnother reason Dad is fun, he makes sure Logan pets the REALLY BIG horses (I'm usually too nervous to let him actually touch them)!

We BBQed twice this week also! Logan loves to hang out with Dan while he is waiting for the food, and tries to follow him outside to check the meat. Logan also laughs when I totally fall off our deck onto the concrete (it really hurt!)... Dan laughed too once he made sure I was okay. I hope I eventually grow out of being clumsy! We were so sad to have Dan leave for a 4 day trip. Hopefully we will have more Daddy time soon!
(sorry I had to post this all jumbled together, but I never know if people really want to read all of this. Also, I know I will want to post Ladies Night at Wicked after tomorrow night!)

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Today is my Dad's birthday. He is the most amazing grandpa. He always takes time to play with Logan or tickle him (Logan's favorite). He also loves when I send him pictures of LJ on his phone, he is never too busy to see pictures/talk about his first grandson. Thanks Dad for being so great to all of us and always being there for us! Here is a picture just for you

Fishy Fishy

We went up to Cabellas the other day to take LJ to see the fish. He LOVED it!!! He was so happy to stand at the glass and look at them swim by, I think we're ready for the aquarium!Im not super great at taking pictures, I couldn't figure out the lighting!

Easter and our trip

We have been busy the last few weeks with my birthday, Easter, Dan's niece was baptized, and I took a trip to California! this is us at Ashlee's baptism. She looked so sweet, but I didnt get a picture of her! (I dont think this picture is very flattering, but I figured I needed to put it up). The Easter bunny left a treasure hunt at my parents house in California. Aunt Nini was so nice to do it with the kids. There were clues all over the house and yard, and the silly Easter bunny left the treasure in the trunk of the car!the treasure had a big ball, movies, books, and treats. What a fun Easter bunny!!!We spent 2 days swimming, Logan loved it! Im trying to get into a mom and me swim class for the summer (both of us would love it, I go swimming as often as possible!)I went outside with Logan today and took some pictures in his Hawaiian shirt. I cant stand how cute he is!!!we hope everyone had a great Easter and spring break!

Happy Birthday

(from Logan)
Happy Birthday Mom, it's the first one I've been here for.
I promise to be a good boy on your birthday. I won't pull your hair. I wont stick objects I find on the floor in my mouth. I wont bite, push, try to eat, or fight with my dog Nellie. I wont scream (even though I hardly ever do). I will be pleasant, sweet, and give you lots of kisses (I promise they will be extra slobbery). I especially promise to be good for my Aunt Lindsey while she babysits me so I dont scare her off!

(okay, so this is what I KNOW LJ wants to say to me! Happy big 26th to me!)
(Logan is so happy to be in a forward facing carseat!)
