Happy 4th Birthday Logan!




I know, I know. Logan actually turned four years old over a week ago, so this blog is a little late, but the festivities surrounding his birthday left me a little worse for wear.....so hopefully you'll give me a little slack on this one!

We had a total blast! This was the first year that Logan really understood what his birthday meant, and how it was a passage of time and he really anticipated it. For his actual birthday (July 10th), we gave Logan a bike. It was his first bike and he absolutely loves riding it. He looks really cute in his helmet out there riding with the big boys.

A couple days later, we had Logan's birthday party at War Memorial Stadium in honor of the fact that Logan loves the Razorbacks and the football field. It was a surprise for Logan. He had been asking me for several weeks where his party was going to be at, so it was really difficult not sharing it with him, but the look on his face when we drove up to the stadium was priceless! Over 20 kids joined us for the party and Logan had the time of his life running up and down the football field, throwing the football, opening presents, and just acting all kinds of crazy!


In honor of Logan's four years, here are four AWESOME things about Logan:


1) Logan loves life, and always looks at the world in wonder.


2) Logan wants to be friends with everyone he meets, and almost always initiates a conversation.


3) Logan enjoys helping other people do things like mowing the yard, cooking, or cleaning.


4) Logan's ours.

Happy Independence Day!






Even though a stomach bug tried to get me down, we had a wonderful Independence Day weekend! My mom had a birthday on July 5th, so we had a party for her at my house on Friday, the 4th. We grilled out and had homemade chocolate ice cream for dessert. Yummo! Afterwards, we watched the fireworks at Tyndall Park. They were fabulous. On Saturday, we spent the day at the lake. We had a great time visiting with Jonathan's family. His uncle Richard, aunt Robin, and cousin Dina came up from Texas. Jonathan's dad grilled ribs, and despite all the rain, we all had fun. Logan played the hardest of all! He must have jumped off the back of the boat a thousand times! We also relaxed with yummy pina coladas and bahama mamas. Logan's favorite was the pina colada.
