"Bubble Baf"

Logan loves bubbles in the bath, and recently he discovered if you scoop the bubbles up and put them on your face, they stick! He loves to do this and laugh as he looks at himself in the "mirror" (the silver drain thing). He has such a good sense of humor!

Logan's Easter Pictures

OK, so I am now obsessed with the picture place that has the $9.99 deal! They take ~50 pictures, and you pick your favorite pose to use in the packet they give you, for only $9.99!! It is not easy to get good pictures, but it is worth it. Logan has grown so much in just a month. What a difference from his Valentines Day pictures. It is a good thing we got these pictures taken in his outfit because on Easter day, we gave him a pink jelly bean to eat, and since they are so chewy, he started to drool, pink, which ran down his chin and onto his outfit staining his vest before we got any pictures! Live and learn right :)

Easter weekend

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! Ours was busy, but fun. On Saturday we started the day off with our community Easter egg hunt. We did not know what to expect, but let me just say that it took us longer to get there, than it did for Logan, and the crowd of other kids & parents, to pick up every last egg! It was an experience! Logan had more fun picking up eggs and putting them in other kids baskets!! We decided that next year we would put on our own hunt in a nearby park with the neighbors :)

On Sunday, I got up at 3:30 am to go to the sunrise service at Red Rocks Amphitheater with a neighbor. It was cold, but well worth it! What a beautiful and memorable morning! Check out those colors...AMAZING!!

After breakfast, we had Easter with Logan. We created a trail of eggs and gifts for him to pick up starting on the basement steps and ending in the basement where his basket of goodies and other gifts were. It was fun and relaxing, and Logan enjoyed all his gifts, but most of all the candy inside the eggs :)

We joined our neighbors in the afternoon for a potluck Easter dinner, and another egg hunt. It was a beautiful day, and we spent the time enjoying good food, conversation, and the wonderful sunny day!

All in all a fabulous weekend! I love Easter! We hope you enjoy all our weekend pictures in our Easter album.

Love to you all ~ Julia

Wal-Mart Easter Bunny...

Andy took Logan shopping with him to Wal-Mart on Saturday, and when they got there, they heard that the Easter bunny was there for pictures. Hearing this, Andy took Logan to the Garden Center, where he rounded the corner to find the Easter bunny sitting. Now, with Logan's reaction to Santa, Andy wasn't expecting much, but it was the total opposite reaction...Logan could hardly wait to get out of the cart, and when he finally did, he ran over to the Easter bunny and said "up". He kept waving & saying "hi" to him the whole time on his lap. So fun! When they got home and showed me the picture, I could not believe that Logan wasn't scared, because I personally feel that this rabbit has the most scary face!!! He looks like he is going to eat the kids instead!! Too funny! What do you think?

Waving to the Easter Bunny


Sitting nice

We've been T.P.'d!!! OK, not exactly.

Who hasn't torn up, unrolled, and thrown a toilet paper roll at least once in their life (if you haven't, you really should some time)! Logan loves toilet paper, and is always pulling little pieces off the rolls to blow his nose. Recently, when he finishes with the pieces he likes to put them in the toilet for flushing - this is his idea of GREAT fun :) So, this morning, we decided that he could just play with the entire roll of paper for a while to see what he would do with all of it. This was the outcome.

Even Dad got involved in the fun

All wrapped up!

Logan's first major boo-boo - WOOPS!

This morning, Logan slipped on a bib that was lying on the floor, and fell backwards biting his lip on the way down. I thought he had bit his lip completely through, seeing that it was bleeding on the inside and out. I rushed him to our Dr.'s office, to find out that he had not bitten it through...thank goodness...but was close. That meant no stitches!!! He got it cleaned up, and then they put super hospital glue on it to keep it closed for a few days. What a trooper he was too. He cried when the accident happened, but never cried again about it - not even at the Dr.'s office as much as they poked, wiped, and pulled on it. Here's a look at the damage :)

Butter Boy - a child after my own heart!

Logan loves condiments! Any of them will really do, ketchup, BBQ sauce, honey, syrup, and especially spray butter :) I know what you are thinking, they are not the best for kids, but they work in getting him to eat all of his food (most days anyway). We found that spray butter works for most anything, and is really not all that bad for him. Tonight, after he was finished, we let him play with the spray butter bottle, and he kept asking for more of it, so Andy sprayed some in his mouth, and he LOVED it! Reminds me of someone else who loves butter...??? :) Instead of "yum" though, he kept saying "eww", but really did like it, so he must be confused as to what "eww" means. Enjoy the video!

Look who's driving

Why is it that all kids like to play in the car? Maybe because we are in it so much...? Logan had the best time this morning playing in the car while I swept out the garage. He climbed from the back to the front, and then decided to drive. He even honked the horn a few times (even if he didn't know it was him who was doing it). He would yell out to me every now and then "Mama, driving". Too cute!

For you Dad - my current music choices :)

When my mom was in town, I drug Andy to a concert in Colorado Springs where a few of my current favorite Indie/Folk artists were performing: Joshua Radin, Ingrid Michaelson, and Alexa Wilkinson. We got to the Black Sheep at 8pm, where the line to get in was around the block, and the crowd was definitely college folk ready for a great concert, as were we! It really was a great time, even if we had to stand for 3 hours on hard concrete, and leave early b/c the concert still wasn't over and we couldn't stand any longer, and Andy had to work the next day (we really are old) :) We both loved it, and the Artists were fabulous live! Here are a few of my favorite songs they sing, and even a few more of my current fav.'s. I hope you like them Dad!

p.s. - Press to play!

The Yellow Rose of "Colorado"...for a week anyway

This past week, my mom - "Nana" - was able to come out and visit. It was the best weather we have had all winter, 60's & 70's, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We ate yummy food, shopped, planted, went to the zoo, went for a hike, and just enjoyed our time. Logan loved having her here too, even if we made him go shopping with us almost every day :) There are lots more great pics in our photo albums, but here are some of my favorites.
