Logan's Birthday

I can't believe my little Logan boy is 1!

 We celebrated Logan's birthday at a Mariners Spring Training

game with Uncle Christopher and Aunt Susie

disoriented.

...and he's finished. (Who is cleaning this mess up!@##$#)

Family 2010

I just finished our family pictures for my family scrapbook. I have a scrapbook for each child and then one for the family which I scrap all our family pics. I thought they turned out cute.

Visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus

I took Justin to the Clubhouse to sit on Santa's lap.

Justin couldn't get over the fact that Santa didn't have his reindeer with him.

Logan just stared at Santa...he was in awe!

Mrs. Claus reading to the kids. Justin is in the middle on the left side.

Carmel Apple Dip...Yumm-O!

HEAVEN!!!

This apple dip is the best apple dip you will ever have. It amazes me there are only 3 ingredients and you are left with nothing less then a miracle.

So...I made this apple dip to eat with the yummy apples Jason's mom sent us from his brother's orchard. (These apples are to die for as well. The best in the world; I think they are fuji...I could be wrong.) Justin sat up to the bar with the bowl of dip and his cut up apples as I watched TV. He yells from the kitchen, "Mom, I need more dip" I thought this was strange, it seemed there was plenty of dip for the one apple I cut up for him. Sure enough he brings me the bowl of dip and the dip is pretty much gone. I asked him to finish off the apples and we would make more tomorrow.

After getting the kids to bed, I went down to clean the kitchen and do the dishes. I noticed the empty bowl of carmel dip sitting on the counter....what I wasn't expecting to see was the entire apple sitting next to it....untouched. WOW Justin....I didn't realize you were eating the apple dip as the main course. Nice one buddy.

Not sure where that sweet tooth comes from???

Family Pics

We just had family pics done; Jessica Burnette took them and did a great job. We had the photos taken at La Placita Village. Justin and Logan were great. Here are some of my favorites:

Justin: the clean freak?

The boys are finally asleep and I am putting away some laundry before I head to bed and I open Justin's closet and I see this shirt hanging in his closet. This is the shirt he wore today. It is dirty, inside out and backwards....but it is hanging on a hanger in the closet. The ironic thing about this is I have never asked him to hangup his clothes nor have I ever seen him to do this. I have found dirty clothes in his dresser drawers quite often but I have never seen him hang up a shirt. I guess I am amazed at how fast he is getting this whole life thing figured out....it took me quite awhile to figure things out and he just knows whats up! He started saying "I know mom" the other day. I thought your kids didn't start sayin' that 'til they were teenagers???

2 Peas in a Pod

I started doing some did scrapping. I originally was against this and probably wouldn't be doing any digital but my craft room was turned into a nursery and I have no space to scrap unless I tote all my stuff to the kitchen table and have a mess there for weeks. We have four bedrooms and only three are being used for bedrooms; why not use the forth bedroom for my crafts??? Well...Jason felt it imperative to his survival that the forth bedroom be used for the "MAN CAVE". In the "MAN CAVE" you will happen upon brain numbing items such as PS3 and other similar nonsense.

So, Jason bought PhotoShop Elements for my Mother's Day gift and I have enjoyed learning how to digi scrap and I do like the no-mess concept. I still want to scrapbook and make cards but for my life right now, digital seems to work perfectly.

I love this picture of Justin and Logan. Looking at the picture reminds me how much Logan looks like an Allred. He reminds me of Melanie children. Logan is weighing a little over 23 lbs and is 6 months old, Justin is 4 yrs old weighing around 37 lbs.

Logan - UR such a big boy!!!

Logan on the scale at his check-up. He is such a big boy at 4 and half months old. We took him in for some shots and he had an ear infection. The only times he cried was in this picture (he doesn't like the cold) and when the dr. checked his ears (he was very mad). He didn't cry during the shots. Logan is very healthy, besides his ear infection. His hemangioma is doing very well. It flares up when he cries but other then that it is almost unnoticeable. Logan's face always brighten's up when he sees his brother Justin.

Justin's 1st day of Preschool

Justin and Mrs. Mindy (preschool teacher). Justin was so excited to go to preschool. He woke up so excited; he was happy to get dress and ready. He said "I am sooo happy!" When I picked him up from preschool he was not disappointed. He had a blast. Thank you Mrs. Mindy for making preschool so amazing for Justin.

Logan Ronaldo

Logan is our newest addition. He was born on March 25th. He weighed 8 lbs 9 oz and was 19 inches tall. He has been growing and growing and currently weighs 18 lbs. 11 oz. Super big boy!!!

Logan is such a sweet baby! He is so fun to hold, hug and kiss. He has the chubbiest checks and arms and....well he is all chub.

You may ask...where did we come up with the middle name??? My dad's name is Ronald and since Jason served his mission in Spain we used the spanish version of my dad's name which is Ronaldo!

Justin is really stepping up as the big brother and helps mom a lot.

We blessed Logan in WA the end of May. Jason gave him a beautiful blessing!

We are all enjoying our little Logan and love him tremendously! Now if he would only sleep through the night!!!
