Logan's First Birthday Party!

Our little Logan is turning one on Saturday! I can't believe it, this year went way too fast! We had a birthday party for him this last weekend since my parents were in town for conference. The theme was Circus and Logan was our little Lion Tamer! It was such a fun party and we had a blast with everyone that came! Here are some pictures!

This was the invitation we sent out.

The treat table, all the circus goodies! Popcorn, animal crackers (we had one for each kid who came), frosted animal crackers, cotton candy, lion and elephant cookies, cupcakes and of course the cake!

Here is his cake, it took me a few late nights to make, but it was fun! I think I enjoyed making the big elephant and lion the best ;)

My mom and I made the birthday banner, it turned out cute :D

Here is the cheesy grin from our birthday boy!

He wasn't so sure about his cake.

The cutie with his cake!

Canyon Picnic

Since the weather is continuing to be nice, Kyle and I took Logan and Brooklyn (Logan's cousin, for those who don't know) up the canyon for lunch and to play. Since we got some good pictures of Logan the other day we took our camera again and got some pictures of Brooklyn as well. We think they turned out pretty good ;)






Brooklyn was so cute trying to put Logan's hat back on :D


What a sweetie! We love spending time with Brooklyn!





These two were so funny on the swings, this was Logan's first time, I am not sure about Brooklyn, but they would just turn and look at each other and laugh. It was so cute!

11 Months and starting to walk!

Hey look at me! I'm posting another entry and it is not 6 months later! Woohoo, maybe I can get better at this! Yesterday the weather was really nice here so we went up the canyon for a walk and took some pictures of Logan and then I took some of him just now in his cool new outfit. So since I was uploading them on to my computer I figured I better post them now or it will be a long time till you see them hahah! So here ya go....oh and guess what?!?! Our little man is walking!!! He still prefers to crawl because he can get places faster but he is talking about 5-6 steps! He is even good and taking a few steps, stopping, standing for a bit and take more steps. We are so proud of him, our kid is way awesome!

These are the pictures we took on our walk up the canyon! This is one of our favorite hats, thanks to Nana, I laugh all the time seeing him in it. I just love this cutie!

The lighting was so perfect at this spot, I wish I would have took more pictures here, but we decided to try to find another spot and the lighting just wasn't as good. I took more pictures this day, but they are for his birthday party so I am not ready to reveal them until I have his birthday invitations finished. Can you believe he is almost one? Wow, does time go fast!

This is my favorite, such a sweet shot! He just looks so precious :D

This is his new outfit Kyle and I got him this weekend. I am not going to lie, I am jealous, those shorts look so comfy! Here he is standing on his own, before you know it I will be posting pictures of him shooting hoops with daddy ;)

He decided to take a rest before mom made him walk for some pics.

Silly boy!

Here he goes!!!

Yay! Go Logan!!!

Holy Cow! Its been a long time!

I am so bad at blogging, months and months always go by before I post again and I always tell myself I will be better. Well, here I am again and my last post was forever ago. Last time I talked about Logan he was four months old, now he will be 11 months in two weeks and is way different. Let me tell you though, he is one awesome kid! Kyle and I are having a blast raising this little boy and we tell each other all the time how neat it is that a little boy could be so cool! Since I have about 6 months to catch up on, it will probably be pretty simple and mostly about Logan, lets be honest he is the only one you really want to hear about anyway. Wow I don't even know where to start, I guess I will tell you about Logan currently and then post some pictures over the last few months to help catch up. Like I said, Logan is 10 months, almost 11. At his 9 month check up he weighted 20 lbs (36%) and 27.25 inches long (14%). Basically he is healthy and growing along just fine, he is just short, but what did you expect Kyle and I don't have much height. Logan has been crawling for a few months now, once he learned to crawl he was instantly wanting to hold our hands to walk around. Now he is walking along furniture and everything he can hold on to. If he doesn't have to crawl he won't. I have caught him a few times standing on his own and a few times take a step as he leaps from one thing to another. He will be walking in no time. His words are starting to develop, instead of the "goo gagaga" it is now sounding like he is trying to make words and say things : da da da ma ma ma" with tones and pitches. His favorite toys are his socks, boxes, tags on pillows and blankets, cords and books, he loves loves loves books. Logan also is a spitting nut! He spits all the time. The worst is at church when it is nice a quiet. He loves to wrestle with daddy, when Kyle is down on his level he instantly gets over to him, crawls all over him and grunts. He also loves to be chased by daddy. Logan is the most happy and content baby I know. He is spoiling us like crazy, he happily plays with someone, but also has no problem keeping himself entertained. He also hardly ever fusses. He has his bottom two teeth in and his top two have poked through and he never hardly fusses when he is teething, it is wonderful :) You will see just how cute and awesome Logan is in the pictures to follow. I guess I will give you a quick catch up on Kyle and I. Kyle is amazing, I am so lucky to be married to the best guy ever! Every day I think I am so blessed. Kyle is still in school, he should be graduating in December, Yay!!! He is almost there! Accounting is keeping him super busy and his current semester will probably be his hardest, but he keeps at it and fights through it. I am very proud of his hard work. While attending school he is also working for a company called Hawkeye Technology. They make a program for companies to use for employees to clock in and out and keep track of their hours. Kyle has been a great assest to the company and they are so happy to have him. He does a lot, customer service, sales and technical support, plus a lot of other tasks. My sister and brother-in-law also added me and Kyle as employees, Kyle does a lot of their quickbooks stuff and I help Stacy out with documents and organizing a bunch of stuff. We have been super blessed to have them give us more work! Other than the work with Stacy I hangout at home and take care of Logan. I am so lucky to be able to have the chance to be with him and I wouldn't trade it for the world,. He is amazing and I love watching him every day seeing him develop and the things he discovers. It is awesome! Anyway, enough talking, lets get on to the good stuff..picture time! I will start from oldest to most current at the bottom.

Logan's Blessing June 19th, Father's Day! He wore the outfit Kyle was blessed in and his chubby tummy almost didn't fit ;)

5 months old and starting to sit up!

5 months old and eating baby food, he didn't care for his veggies very much at first but now he loves them.

Halloween! 6 months

He was out little cow. We were in Burley for Halloween and since Kyle's family are dairy farmers we thought it was fitting!

Pumpkin time!



Shame on Daddy! He has him reaching for the soda :(

Haha my silly boys!

6 months old compared to his premmie outfit. My has he grown!

7 months old and his first piece of mail from Nana, which included the hat he is wearing!

For some reason Logan loves to shove his pacifier in his whole mouth and crawls around like that. He thinks it is funny and we do too.

Don't you just love babies that sleep with their bums in the air

8 months, His first Christmas, he has it early at our house, since we would be at Nana's and Pa's for Christmas and then go to Grandma's and Papa's later.
Sorry, this is my favorite picture, but for some reason it won't rotate. I even saved it upright, but it is being stubborn. What a precious pic though :D


He fell asleep drinking his bottle.

Loving the bear hat and camo diaper!

9 months, Logan loves showers!

Had my eye off him for one minute and look at this mess! He found some napkins.
Grandma and Papa took us to a Jazz game. We got to sit fourth row and Logan was on the big screen!

He also got a ball!

My brother-in-law saw us on TV

Valentine's Day, I made a "Why I love you.." Tree

Kyle surprised me while he was at school with a babysitter and a hair appointment. When I got home from my appointment there was a tent in our living room, stars on the ceiling and Kyle was cooking dinner. I have been wanting to go camping but it has been too cold so he brought camping inside. It was so fun!

10 months, Logan's first Valentine's Day!
 
Wanting to crawl at 6 months I think
