Lazy Day at the Lake

Two weeks ago we went and spent the day on Uncle Josh's boat.  We had a great time and we were so excited Chris didn't have to work and was able to come.  Josh mentioned going to a beach and hanging out, which had me worried since Logan has not been a fan of the sand or the beach, but he was having too much fun to even notice! 

A little doll house time

The water was freezing and I was shocked he was even in it!

Guarding the snack table on the beach.  Again, shocked he was touching he sand. 

Ready to go!

Boat time is so much fun!

Granddaddy's Big Day!

Last weekend we joined Granddaddy, Barbara and the rest of our family over at his lake house for a very special day...Granddaddy and Barbara got married. 

It is always so much fun to get our family together and visit with everyone.  Granddaddy and Barbara both looked wonderful and very happy.  Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to snap pictures and chase a 2 year old around.  After the ceremony, we went to a beautiful restaurant, complete with an elevator, which if you didn't know is the coolest thing to a 2 and 3 year old. 

Before the wedding!   (Goldfish, of course!)

Beautiful Cake!

The cake was delicious!  (so was the food!)

Kenzie thought so, too!

Who doesn't love an impromptu fort?

We got back to Melanie and Scott's and had some fun cousin time!

We are very happy for you Granddaddy and Barbara!

Pinterest Pot

I have hundreds of ideas pinned on Pinterest, and hopefully now that I have more time on my hands I will be able to get to some of them.  I did try out the picture flower pot and I have to say I think it turned out really cute!   I put it together for Mimi's birthday about 2 weeks ago, (yes I'm quite behind on blogging.)

It was pretty simple to do and could be done with any paper and and colors. 

The Great Recipe Search

While I was making a few things for Easter Dinner, Logan decided he needed to help and wanted to find just the right recipe.  Unfortunately, I don't think he ever found what he was looking for...

The J's Missing

I was so excited Logan was finally cooperating and saying his ABC's while I secretly recorded him that I appartently decided that the letter "J" no longer is part of the English alphabet.  Opps!  We got all the way to "t" before he quit.  Also, how cute is it that he said, "G.G." for the letter "g"? 

First Boo Boo

Logan got his first skinned knee over the weekend.  He took a little spill on the sidewalk and wasn't quite sure what to think when his little knee started bleeding. 

We washed it off and put some all healing Aquaphor on it.  He kept rubbing it and touching it and then grunting.  I'm sure it was burning, but he didn't understand that the more he touched it the more it would burn. 

Who needs chairs or sofas?

Why do we need chairs or sofas when we have perfectly fine tables?  Apparently, this is Logan's new favorite spot to just chill and watch TV. 

Happy Easter!

We had a fantastic Easter today and we were happy to spend it with family.  We went to church, came home did a few hours of yard work, and then headed to Mimi and Pops for dinner and an Easter egg hunt.  We didn't get to see everyone for Easter, but we thought about all of our family we weren't with.  Logan did get to spend his Easter with his Great Grandmother (G.G.).  Because my back is killing me from the yard work, I'm going to be lazy with this post and just put the pictures up.  6 weeks of school left and my Gifted Endorsement will be complete in 14 DAYS!!!!  I might have a little more time to blog pretty soon!  YAY!

The Easter Bunny came!

He even left tracks!

Logan LOVES animals right now.  He can put each animal on a special spot and it says what the animal is and makes the sound.  He loved it!

 

 

 

I hope you had a blessed and happy Easter!

Wheel of Color

A few weeks ago, I purchased this little chip and dip in the dollar section at Target and turned it into a little sorting color wheel for Logan.  He has done suprising well, and loves the little trinkets we have found for each section.  Cheap and easy...that's what it's all about!

Chicken a la Cow

Logan has a little habit of pulling open the oven just a little bit, and then letting it slam shut.  I always tell him, "No, hot!", and move him along to something else.  So far, we've had no oven incidents, but after turning on the oven to cook dinner Sunday night,  I'm afraid we might be purchasing an oven lock. 

After about 5 minutes of the oven being on, I started to smell something, like a burning type smell, but not just food burning.  I opened the oven and it looked like a big puddle of ketchup had been dropped on the oven floor.  I ran outside and asked Chris if he had dropped sauce or ketchup in the oven and forgot to clean it.  He looked totally puzzled and had no idea what I was talking about. 

I opened the oven door again and very carefully, dipped a corner of a paper towel in the mysterious goo to see if I could tell what it was.  My scientific findings determined that is was, in fact, not ketchup or sauce, but it was some type of plastic.  Chris and I racked our brains thinking about what it could be.  While holding my nose and trying not to breathe in the possibly toxic fumes, I suddenly had a flashback to the morning.  Logan was playing with the bucket of farm animals while I ran upstairs to switch the laundry over.  I remember thinking I heard the oven open, but when I ran back downstairs he was playing in the living room, so I didn't think any more about it.

I grabbed the farm animal bucket, and desperately searched for the animal with no match.  (Just like Noah, these things come in two's.)  There he was...the lonesome little cow....missing his friend. 

Rest well little cow....and thanks a lot for ruining my oven cooked meals for the next few weeks.  I guess tonight we will eat, Lemon Pepper Chicken with a hint of plastic cow. 

This boy CRACKS me up!

Do I even need words for this?  :)

Need Help?

My big man is getting ready for Springtime!  He's ready to jump in and help Daddy or Pop at any moment!  Just a few more years and he'll be out there with the boys!

But for now, we'll just let him stand there and be ADORABLE!

Weekend Painting

What's better than waking up on Saturday and Sunday morning at 6:30?  Painting on the kitchen floor by 8:00am.  Luckily, I'd had about 3 cups of coffee and was ready to paint with my little artist!  He was, of course, very independent and wanted to do everything himself.  He had to squeeze the paint, hold the cup, dip the brush, even paint his own hands before stamping them down on the paper.  I was quite impressed with his painting and enjoyed every second of our morning masterpiece-making moments!

Randoms

I have a few posts/pictures I keep meaning to do, but time seems to slip right out of my fingers lately.  So, excuse this random post, but here is a weeks worth of blogging all dumped into one post.  (Less than 3 months of school left!....Summer is almost here!)

Chris sent this to me one morning at school, and I just about died from laughing so hard!  Apparently, Logan got a little bored while Chris was in the shower and decided he'd see how many of these he could fit in the toilet.  Thank goodness he didn't flush!  Needless to say...a toilet lock has been purchased.  (Did you even know they made toilet locks?)

Logan and Mommy just hanging out!

Logan is a little obsessed with babies right now.  He loves his cousin Shiloh.

Logan watching Pop cut the grass.  He is just waiting for the day, he can go out and help.

Yep, that's a diaper.  After putting Logan in our bed, he feel back asleep and I snuck downstairs to make a cup of coffee.  Appartently, he decided he would sleep better without any "restrictions". 

Logan's new swimsuit and rash guard for out cruise coming up in just 3 weeks and 3 days!  (Thanks Uncle Josh, Aunt Megan and Kenzie!)

And just because there is nothing sweeter....My sleeping angel!
