Don't Worry

It's been a while, so don't worry...I'm not being a blogging slacker again, I just have several works in progress right now that aren't quite ready.  Soon to come:

1.  Easter weekend in Cincinnati with my parents
2.  Logan's 18 month pictures
3.  Our upcoming visit to Kalahari
4.  Loganese Volume #2

Stay tuned for some good stuff!

Melt My Heart Moment of the Day

Tonight as I was putting a sick little Logan to bed, he asked me to sing him a song.  Well, not so much asked, but he said the word "baby" as we were rocking in his chair, which I know to mean "Will you please sing 'Rock-a-bye, Baby?'"  So I sang it to him and then he requested "beep," which means the horn verse from "The Wheels on the Bus."  I sang this to him as well, and when I finished he looked up at me with his sweet little blue eyes and said, "Thank you!"  And so my heart has melted...

Monkey Jump!

Today we took Logan to Monkey Jump for the first time.  HE HAD A BLAST!  I've never seen my little boy so excited!  He was a little hesitant at first, but once he figured out what he was supposed to do, he was all about it.  He even enjoyed interacting with other kids, and I think it helped that they were able to show him how the different parts of each inflatable worked.  He was the littlest one there, but I think he was having the most fun.  And Todd and I definitely got a workout chasing him around, but I think out of all the parents we had the most fun too!  We will definitely be going back, though I suggested that next time we bring one of Todd's cousins who are several years older than Logan so that they can help him up the ladders to the slides and show him how everything works (since parents aren't allowed on any of the inflatables).

Ball!

Whoa - toppling over!

Think I can make it?

Testing out the slide - still a little unsure

Daddy finally threw him down the slide - I know his arm looks broken, but I promise he was fine!

Figuring out the slide on his own

And down the slide

I still can't figure out why I can't post videos anymore, so for now you'll have to click here to see them on YouTube instead.

Look how much my favorite little man has changed!

Randoms

I've been really lazy about uploading pictures from my camera to my computer lately.  Here are a few random pictures from the last month or so that I finally got around to posting!

Bad hair day!

Close up!

Is this how it goes?

Mad because I wouldn't let him play with the camera

YOU are such a mean mommy!

We love reading!

Trying to steal the camera away again

I showed Logan how to take my picture.  Let's ignore his obvious talent and focus instead on how gorgeous I look.  I know you are all jealous!

Video Issues...NO FEAR

I can't figure out why the little icon to add a video has disappeared from my posting screen, and it's making me crazy!  I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to add a video to my blog now without simply posting a link.
So, anyway, until I figure out the issue, here you have it...my little daredevil in action!

Grab Your Balls...We're Going Bowling!

This weekend was the annual McMahon-organized bowling tournament that Todd and I have participated in for the past three or four years.  I'm really not sure what the purpose of this tournament is.  As far as I know it doesn't really raise money for anything, but we do it anyway because it's fun and because a lot of our friends participate too.  It was a great time, as always.  It was a Nine-Is-Fine tournament, which means that anytime you knock down nine pins it counts as a strike.  Even with the modified rules, Todd didn't bowl so well.  I had two pretty good games and one not-so-good game.  But we are both sore today.  Boy, you know you're really out of shape when you're sore from bowling!

Todd's mom was in charge of Logan for the afternoon, and she brought him up to watch for a little while.  He went back and forth between sitting in amazement and wanting to run around the entire bowling alley with no boundaries.  But we had fun with him there anyway.  I have no pictures of the actual bowling, but I did take a few of Logan (of course).

Mesmerized by the bowlers

Who doesn't love a good pretzel?

NASCAR, here I come!

Are any of these balls light enough for me?
