Logan’s Birthday



Eating his cake



Now that Logan is 13 months old I thought I would finally get around to writing about his birthday. It was a great day. Even though I Logan didn’t really know what was going on we still had fun with his cake and his present. We didn’t do much for his birthday this year because it was so close to Christmas and with bad planning on my part, we didn’t have much to give him. That just means we can be better prepared for his next birthday. Logan liked his stuffed dog we gave him so that is all that really mattered to us. I put it in his crib at night and he cuddles with it as he goes to sleep now, so I think it was a great birthday for him. Myla and Savannah had more fun with the birthday cake. I enjoyed making it for him. It took a little longer than just a regular cake, but I’m glad I made it for him. One of Logan’s nicknames right now is “Logan Bear” so it only seemed fitting to have his cake in the shape of a bear. I used the cake pan I got from my mom because she used to make these kinds of cakes for me and my siblings on our birthdays.

Logan and Daddy on Christmas

This Christmas it was our turn to go to Wyoming and spend the holiday with my family; unfortunately there was a blizzard here the Monday before Christmas so we were snowed in Lamar. That is okay because we were able to have a great day at home. I was disappointed that I couldn’t see my family but I will be making a trip to see them soon. I think the kids had a great Christmas day even though they were bummed they didn’t have primary or nursery that day. Dave and I got the kids matching outfits that matched a dress I made and a shirt that Dave has so I plan on doing our family pictures in these outfits. I’m excited to see how they turn out! We are getting them taken this Saturday by a lady that I go to MOPS with and I am hoping that the kids will cooperate with her. They are late to be Christmas ones, but because they are all red it will look like it. Maybe if I mail them out around Valentine’s Day it will work. I just think it’s time to update our pictures. It has been almost two years since our last ones and I know the girls have changed so much and we now have Logan.

Side notes

So Logan accidently spilled white grape juice on my laptop. It didn’t ruin the computer; which I’m grateful for, but now the keys are sticky. I tried to clean under the keyboard with rubbing alcohol and q-tips and it helped, but they are still a little sticky so I will have to try it again and see if it helps. It’s just a little frustrating to have to type when they keys are sticky. I am grateful that the computer works still, but it’s a little more annoying. J I think I figured out how to take the keys off and back on so I may try and take them off and soak them in water and rubbing alcohol.

I have to say with recent events that I am so grateful for my friends and family.  I didn’t realize how much my friends mean to me until I don’t talk to them for a while. Dave tells me that I am all the friends that he needs and sometimes it makes me feel bad when I need to get out with my friends. Dave understands that I need to get out and just have girl time and it’s wonderful. So my friends if you are reading this I’m telling you thank you for your impact on my life. Even if you are far away it’s nice to know that I can count on you and I can talk/e-mail you if I need someone to talk to.
