Only 3 more wake ups until Logan's big day. When I was going through our picture files, I was finding a whole lot of pictures that I had changed to black and white or sepia. I thought I would change the scenery a little and post those instead of color ones. I love black and white pictures anyways...
That's all for this one. Come back in 3 more wake ups to see pictures of the 5 year old...
The newest song to our playlist was not added by me, Logan, nor Addie...that only leaves David. Can you guess which one he added? He's too funny...
Only 6 more wake-ups until it's Logan's Birthday. I figured I better keep the memories coming since I am running out of time. These pictures take us up to him becoming a Big Brother. It's hard finding too many good pictures because I actually have a lot of his pictures on completed scrapbook pages. Wish I could say the same for Addie...oh well...one day!!
This picture is for Daddy!! Logan got this blow up/ball pit fire truck for Christmas. David and Logan used to play fireman in it. Sirens would go off and the next thing I knew, they were running and diving in the engine then putting an imaginary fire out. Thus, it didn't take long for the engine to deflate with a hole in it. Oh well, David just replaced it with a real fire truck (Go Daddy!!)...who would have thought?!?!
That's all for this post but come back soon for more...I can't imagine a better place to celebrate the 4th of July than at Grammy and Papa Skip's. So, that is where we were. The kids and I spent the week there but my two brothers (Matt and Luke), one of my sisters (Gina), and all of their families joined us for the weekend. It was a bit crowded and crazy at times but it was oh so much fun! There are 9 grandkids now and we are still growing. There was never a dull moment...
We fished...
We celebrated our country's birthday with sparklers and watched the fireworks on the river...
Here we are watching the fireworks on the river, minus the little ones who were back at the cabin with Uncle Matt, tucked in for bed...
Logan rode and maybe drove (???) on a jet ski and he loved it! All he could say was FASTER, FASTER as mommy closed her eyes...
Our little boy is turning 5 only 2 weeks from today. He is counting down the days but I must admit that mommy is wondering where in the world the time has gone!?! I'm very excited for Logan but I am very sad at the same time. I know we always say that it goes by so fast but it really does!! 5 is a big age...he is going to "big" school and this is the last year he can count his years on only one hand...oh my!!!! So, in honor of our soon to be 5 year old, I am going to take a little walk down memory lane and post some pictures of our sweet boy over the next 2 weeks. As Logan counts down the days, it will bring a smile to my face as I remember another sweet memory. Ok, enough mommy cheesiness and let the countdown begin...
My very good friend, Claire, and her husband, Trent, are on a mission trip in China right now. They visited orphanages with children with special needs. WOW!! I have been praying for them for a while now and have been praying really hard for them over this last week. Claire has kept her blog updated throughout their trip and I have been so touched through their experiences. Their trip is coming to an end but I am not going to stop praying. I will continue to pray for those sweet children and their circumstances. I hope you will too. I know that is all I can do now but if only I could do more...

We made it out a few nights for seafood and fun. David and I enjoyed the seafood even though it was definitely overpriced. The kids weren't crazy about the seafood but they did have a lot of fun at a miniature amusement park we found. It was their first official time on a go-cart track. Logan took it very seriously as if he and David were in a major race. Addie just laughed and screamed the entire time around. They had a miniature track where Logan got to drive his own go-cart. He could not have been any happier!! So...he we are, enjoying a few nights out...
