Gotta love it

Went to the splash pad today and Logan had a blast. Although, even though cloudy skies look awesome from the inside looking out.....it is still SO HOT outside. I had to get my feet wet too.

Family Date

Last Saturday we had family date day and we had so much fun. First we took Logan bowling, which he was talking about for like a whole week before we even went. He was SO EXCITED to go. We went to brunswick (which, by the way, is the best bowling alley ever) so we got to play games in the HUGE arcade after bowling.

Logan thought it was the greatest

Then after bowling and games we went to see Toy Story 3, had a little too many "dark" spots in the movie, but overall was really good. Then family lunch at Zipps burgers. We had such a fun day together. I can not wait to go to Cali next month to just spend every day, all day like this.

Funny poo story

Logan just went poo on the potty and we went out to the living room cause he wanted to play Wii. Little did we know he wasn't finished going potty. He made his poo face and looked at me like, "o crap" so I picked him up and ran to the bathroom. As I put him down and got his potty chair on the toilet I hear him say "oops a daisy" and he is staring at the floor. Ok...here it is....his poo fell out of his shorts and landed right on my flip flop. (Don't worry they are in the trash now) I could not stop laughing. I took a pic, but I will save you the visual, it was just too funny not to post.

Birthday shopping

I took Logan shopping tonight for some birhtday presents and he is seriously the most grateful kid IN THE WORLD. I was piling up clothes to get him and he says "that's enough clothes mom" so I figured he just wanted to be done with clothes so we could go look at toys, but we get over to the toys and he picks out ONE tractor set and I said "well, what else would you like?" and his response was "that's it, I only want ONE toy." How did we get SO LUCKY? Logan is seriously a dream child and I am still in awe at how amazing he is. He surprises me every day with how generous and sweet he is.

Logan makes me laugh

This little man is too funny.

More random bragging

Logan has memorized his phone number, he is such a smarty. He tells us "say, what's my phone number?" so we ask him and his sweetest little voice he recites it. He is so proud. He knows my full name and Chad's full name too in case of emerg or something.

Logan has started swimming with floaties and can swim "like a big boy" he says. He has so much fun in the pool.

I asked Logan the other day what we should name the baby and he said "lets name the baby, cantelope." lol

Logan can button all his own buttons on his jammie shirt

OMG!!!

So I am trying to keep a positive attitude, but second pregnancies are just SO different than the first. I LOVED being pregnant with Logan, no complaints AT ALL....however this time around has just been traumatizing (and I am only 26 weeks along) So I am going to take this opportunity to complain a little bit (hope you don't mind)

I am HUGE already...I feel like when people ask when I am due, I should be saying next week....um hello I have like 3 whole months left.

I love to eat, but I am always afraid to because I can feel my tummy expanding with every meal.

I am thinking this time around I will be getting the dreaded stretch marks. Logan was so good to me and my tummy expanded at such a great rate, but this lil stinker is already so big.

I can't even keep a shirt over my belly when I sleep, I have resorted to just sleeping in a sports bra b/c my shirt always ends up there anyway.

I have been getting HORRIBLE leg and feet cramps when I sleep. I can't even walk them out I just sit there in pain until it goes away.

I don't even want to step foot outside cause it's so dang hot, even getting in the pool doesn't cool me down.

My pants seriously do not fit at all, even the pants I wore while pregnant with Logan are too small. (If I could wear jammies to work I totally would)

My back hurts

I pee CONSTANTLY

I have to pretty much, hurl myself out of bed


This is my belly: 26 weeks


Sincerely,
really cranky pregnant lady

Logan, our sweet sweet toddler

Ok, so what are the "terrible two's" excatly? I hate to brag, but Logan has seriously NEVER been terrible. He has his moments where he can be a little booger, but he is always so sweet. We feel SO blessed that we get to keep him forever. He is always so caring and generous and sweet.

I think "I love you" is his favorite phrase b/c he says it CONSTANTLY and I just love to hear it.

He loves to snuggle, especially while watching movies and before he takes a nap.

The other night Chad and I went out for a date night and I wore a cute white dress. As soon as I put it on Logan said "mommy, my want to dance wif you." He always looks at our wedding pic and sees my white dress and thinks Chad and I are dancing, not posing, for the picture. So every morning Logan tells me "mommy, wear the white dress, my want to dance wif you. " he is such a sweetheart.

Logan keeps asking when we are gonna have the baby and pretty much the only thing I can say to explain is that the baby will come after Logan's birthday. I guess he doesn't want to wait that long cause when I asked him who he wanted to come to his birthday party he says "I want my baby brubder to come to my birthday."

Whenever we lay in bed to go to sleep Logan will start to pretend cry and say "mommy, my want you to hold me like a baby." I'll tell him that I like when my baby is happy, not crying and he says "but mommy, babies cry" (well thanks for reminding me Logan)

Logan is an awesome singer, he knows lots of words to lots of songs and loves to jam out in the car. He will sit up really straight trying to look at my mouth (in the rear view mirror) singing the words so he knows he gets them right.

They have this new marshmallow pebbles cereal (like fruity pebbles, but with mashmallows) that Logan loves. Only problem....he ONLY eats the marshmallows and not the actual cereal.

He calls everyone a silly sally tayto head (potato head) I think he learned that from daddy

He is 100% potty trained. He seriously just woke up one day and that was that. He has not had ANY accidents at all. I am so proud of him. He still hates going poo, but that will get easier as time goes on I am sure.

We like to play keep away with Logan's binkie and so today I told him that I ate it and it was in my belly and his response was "the baby using it?" He is so funny.

I made this SUPER CUTE sign for Kayla's room. I love how it turned out, it matches perfectly.

Baby boy number 2

Ok so we are DEFINATELY still having a boy...and he is not the least bit shy about it.

Welcome baby Kayla

We FINALLY have a niece. Little miss Kayla Marie Hawkins is absolutely adorable. Logan is so in love with her. Congrats to Shaun and Ashley.

Golfing and Bass Pro shop

This little "herd" of ducks came waddling by right in front of us and didn't have a care in the world about getting pummeled by golf balls



Bass Pro Shop is seriously the coolest store ever. Logan and I walked around for like an hour and a half just looking around at all the cool animals, waterfall, fish and toys. He LOVED going up and down the elevator and stairs and sitting on EVERY quad and golf cart.

This is what Logan has decided he wants for his birthday lol

Logan LOVED the fish

The Lake

We went out Saguaro Lake last Friday and it was the PERFECT day to go. It was so nice out, the wind was blowing, it was just awesome for JUNE. The little boys wanted to play in the water and the big boys just rode our sand rail around all day. We had a picnic lunch out there and had so much fun.

First Swim of the Summer

Deciding whether or not to get in


Logan was ready, but had to swim with aunt Jamie til daddy got enough guts to get in


And the only daddy would get in was to jump off the house and just take it like a man.

Potty

We were out of the house ALL day and Logan went pee on the potty the entire day. He would say "I holding my pee mommy" when we were in the car and he had to go. He didn't pee his pants at all. I am so proud of him. I think he is pretty much potty trained. Yay!!!!

We have a few "special prizes" for Logan when he does awesome jobs with the potty and other things he is trying to learn. Today, for not peeing in his pants for the whole day, he picked out a scooter. He LOVES it.

Funny things

When we are driving on the freeway and the road is curvy Logan says " mommy, we driving in circles"

Logan was stretching and yawning after his nap and his arm was shaking all by itself and he said "mommy, my arm is bumping"

We went to our first movie (Charolettes Web) for the Summer Movie Fun at Harkins yesterday and right before it started, when it got all quiet Logan yelled out "yay spider" (he is the kid in the movie that is always yelling out cute, funny stuff)

Logan looks at my belly and says "your baby's getting big" (glad he thinks its just the baby getting big and not me)

Logan was so tired yesterday for his nap, but he just got really hyper and was playing and laughing at EVERYTHING. (This was our conversation)

Me: Logan, you are acting like you're drunk (probably not the BEST thing to say)
Logan: That's a good name
Me: What's a good name?
Logan: Drunk's a good name

(we have been trying so hard to find a baby name that we like, Chad and I can not agree on anything. guess Logan is trying to help.)

When Logan sings his Abc's he ALWAYS leaves out the letter "j"
when he ends the song, he sings "now I know MINE Abc's"

Logan went pee in the potty the other days and
he said: " wow mom, that's a lot"
I said: "ya and it's really yellow"
he said " ya mom it's yellow...not purple"

Logan like to pretend we are animals or other things sometimes so he calls me "mommy bird" or "mommy sweetheart" and I have to refer to him as "baby bird" or "baby sweetheart." I get in trouble if I call him Logan, he will say "no, you call me baby
bird"

Logan's nicknames are:
Babe
Bubsy
Logi
Big boy
Logi bear

OH NO!!!!!

Logan has learned his first bad word:
Logan was leaning against our bed getting ready for bed and just yelled out,
"S**T, I need to brush my teeth"
My mouth dropped. I do not talk like that at all (Chad doesn't talk that way in front of him) so I had no idea where he learned it. I could not stop laughing about it though casue it sounded so funny coming out of his little mouth. He kept saying it cause I kept laughing (I know, shame on me) but I just kept telling him not to say it cause it is a bad word, I think he understands not to say it, he just wasnted to make me laugh.

Potty Training update

Ok I am SO stinkin proud of my Logan. He stayed dry throghout the entire night. He was wearing his diaper while we were laying down to go to sleep and all of a sudden he said "my wearing diaper, mommy?" I said "do you need to go potty?" and he got up and ran to the bathroom saying "yes yes my have to go potty" He sat on the potty and went pee. He slept really well last night and then woke up at 5 am saying he needed to go potty. When he took off his diaper I picked it up to throw it away, but it was completely dry. He went pee pee on the potty and kept saying, "mommy, you so proud of me?" OF COURSE I am so proud of him. Things are going great with the potty training, I am so excited. YAY LOGAN!!!!!!

Recent happenings

I LOVE when Logan picks out his own jammies, he NEVER comes back with a matching set. But hey, he is a big boy and we let him wear what he likes to bed...and I have to admit, he looks super cute no matter what he wears. (like the matching blue binkie?)



It's almost getting too hot to go o the park and it totally sucks. We went at 8 am today and I was breakin a sweat. I hate Az summers, Logan doesn't seem to mind the heat one bit.
