Looking Good

Well, this morning after I blogged, I figured that would be all of my blogging for the week seeing as how I will be at school all week. So, I went to start a little bit of cleaning and laundry for the week. Addie was keeping herself occupied playing around me, in and out of where I was. However, it got quiet for a few minutes and you know how that goes. Uh oh...I went looking for her. The first place I always head is to our bathroom and closet. Well, the bathroom was clear so I kept moving to my closet and this is what I found...

**Addie and Mommy's make-up bag...OOPS!!

And this is what I heard...

** "Look pretty Mommy"

And Mommy said what I should say, "You do look pretty, Addie. I think you did a great job with your make-up!" (for a 2 year old, that is) I was just happy to only find the make-up on her face...it cleans up easily. She is very into having her nails done on a weekly basis but I don't think I am going to encourage make-overs just yet.

And so I had to blog this, but this is probably it for blogging for the week. Unless, of course, another one is caught in a moment and that is likely around here.

The Fair is in town...

and boy did we have a blast! We rode on a lot of rides, ate lots of good (greasy and sugary) food, played some games, saw some animals, and lots of other cool stuff. The kids loved the rides. I wasn't sure how Addie would do but she loved them. She had Logan with her on all of them and I think that made a difference. Check out the pictures of the fun we had...

Please look closely at Addie's face on the kiddie roller coaster. I thought we might have to stop the ride to get Addie off of this one. After a couple of times around and a little coaching from big brother, she started saying "weeeee" amongst her fear. When I got her off the ride, she said "I not like it mommy but I weeeeee". I guess that means she didn't like it but she made the best of it...that's my girl!

And then there was the Ferris Wheel that Logan LOVED. We have been passing the Ferris Wheel on the interstate for the past week so this was the big one he was looking forward to. Addie was too small to ride this year...maybe next year.
Here we are watching the boys go up and down, around and around...

This was a very cute farming area for little ones. The kids went through a barn, picked apples, corn, veggies, etc. When they got to the end, they sold it in a market, made money, and then went to a little store to buy something. Both of mine bought chocolate milk. It was such a cute idea and the kids loved it.

They even got to give a try at milking a cow...

Aren't they so cute...

Good Bye Summer Break...Hello School

Summer is officially over! Friday was my first day back for the school year. When I dropped the kids off on Friday morning, I could have cried. I am excited for the school year but it has been a great summer. We have just had a lot of fun doing nothing somedays or going to the pool, zoo, beach, park, and lots of other places on other days. I'm so thankful I have 2 months off to spend with my great kids. This is how we spent our last day of summer...



We enjoyed the day at our local Rec Center and it was a blast!

The Bourg Wedding

Logan and I had the honor of being a part of my dear friend's wedding. It was the wedding of Jamie Berger to Peter Bourg (from France). The wedding was in Atlanta and it was a fabulous weekend! Logan was the ring bearer and I was a matron of honor. Logan did an AMAZING job. I was a little worried because he was a little hesitant on Friday night. However, he decided to hold the precious flower girl's hand and escort her down the aisle. It was so cute. I'll admit I did bribe him "a little" with candy and the toy store. I'm not ashamed...it worked! Anyways, here are some pictures from our fun and fabulous weekend. My parents were there so we got ALOT of help from them. Thanks Grammy and Papa Skip for baby sitting all weekend!

The Rehearsal Dinner: Logan & Addie went back to the hotel, ate pizza and watched cartoons with Grammy and Papa Skip. We enjoyed dinner...it was great!

The Reception


Logan was great entertainment, dancing the night away! Seriously, he broke out some Hip Hop moves and I don't know what else. It was GREAT!!

And then there was Addie, she had to be the center of attention with her twists and twirls on the dance floor.

David was even spotted on the dance floor...GO DADDY!!

And now for the icing on the cake...

This is what the kids had waited for since we got to Atlanta and it was OH SO GOOD!

They ate their cake and they headed back to the hotel with Grammy and Papa Skip.

And, here is a short video clip of Logan dancing. I have to disclose that neither David nor I have ever danced like this with him. He likes to watch a show called "Hip Hop Harry" on Discovery Kids. That is the only place I can think of that he learned these moves and I think some of them are just invented by whatever he was feeling at the moment. You will notice that by the end of the clip, he goes back into a pose with his leg up in the air. We called this "The Zone". He would spend a minute in this position, slowly move out of it and break a move, then he would slowly get back in "The Zone" until he broke out another move. We laughed so hard. We have had a few requests for dance lessons...

Party Time!

I am finally posting Logan's Birthday Party Pictures, just a little over a week late...oops! He had a GREAT birthday party. We had it at the Jump Zone and we had about 16 kids. They had a blast. There were all kinds of inflatables with a fire truck and monster truck slide, a big obstacle course, a carousel, and even a little toddler play area for the little ones. We did a lot of jumping, sliding, and climbing! I think it was even a work out for the adults! So, here are some of the pictures from the big day...

The Birthday Boy

Cousins



Mommy and Addie just came down the fire truck slide and it was so much fun! Of course, Addie loved it and had no fear.

Mommy, Daddy, and Addie coming down the Monster Truck Slide. This was definitely a FAST one!!
The birthday boy and his cool firetruck cake...
I must mention that when we got home, we had to clean out our bonus room just to make room for all of the toys he got. Wow...his friends sure do know him well! He has had a blast playing with everything! He is already planning his party for next year...

Happy Birthday Logan!!!

Just wanted to post a quick picture of the birthday boy. Here he is this morning, enjoying his birthday pancakes, especially this one with the big number 5 on it. He is beside himself excited! Well, we are off to celebrate for now...

Trip to the Zoo

Aunt Jenn and Baby Claire invited us to go to the zoo with them. We didn't pass this up, especially since they are members and we can get in as their guests. We had a great day seeing the animals, riding the Carousel, and then playing on the BIG jungle gym! Thank you Aunt Jenn and Baby Claire...
