The other day Scott was watching Addy and she just started to pull herself up. She doesn't pull herself up to a standing position yet ...although I am sure that's next to come but he found her like this. She was cracking up and smiling at him like, "Look at me Dad." I saw her and had to get down and kiss her little cheeks off. She has been doing the cutest little army crawl and saying, "Da Da Dadda." Love this girl!
Ahh, Halloween 2009...was such a great day! I don't know who had more fun Logan or me! I just LOVE watching the kids enjoy the holiday! Justin dressed up as a SCARY clown and went out with his girlfriend Katelyn Trick or Treating. Logan dressed up as Thomas the Train and Addison was a little fairy and JD was Lightening McQueen.
Nana came over dressed up as a witch. Steph, JD, Frank, and Rob came over. We all went Trick or Treating. Then we came back and had lasagna, garlic bread, and brownies. Logan kept saying, "Choo Choo," and "I'm having sooo much fun," while JD was saying, "Kachow." It was a great day!

Logan & I were lucky enough to get to go to JD's school's carnival. It was so much fun! JD & Logan got to dig in rice to find spiders, decorate sugar cookies, eat lots of candy, play, and see the horse outside. JD & Logan were so cute...they just walked hand in hand all night. I even had sooo much fun!

Justin just completed his Sophomore Football year. He had a wonderful season. It was so much fun going out to see his games. He had daily practice which was three to four hours long. He loved it! He would come home so tired and so hungry.
On the 3rd to last game of the season Justin got hurt. It was pretty scary. Nana ended up having to take him to the ER. He ended up having a concussion which put him out of football for the remaining two games. We are so proud of him for playing football and doing such a great job! He was lucky #36!
Ahh yes...Addison & Logan. They have a great relationship so far. I was very relieved because I had heard that sometimes there is a lot of jealousy with the older child. But we haven't experienced that luckily. Logan loves Addison and she loves him. One of his favorite things to do is to run into her room when she gets up from a nap. He often runs up the stairs before I even have a chance to. He'll run into her room and tell her "good morning". She'll just smile and laugh at him. I love watching their relationship grow!
Excuse the cheddar Cheetos's from around his face. Currently Logan is 2 and a half years old. He is our little sponge. He is learning so much everyday. He loves to talk and gets very frustrated if you don't understand what he is saying. He still loves mommy, daddy, Justin, and Addison best. He loves to run and jump and never seems to run out of energy. OH and one of the best parts is he is sooo polite...this kid even tells me "THANK YOU" for changing his diaper...who does that? Isn't that cute?
Here is our sweet baby Addy. She is now 6 months old. How the time flies. She came through her ear tube surgery wonderfully. She is such a happy, go lucky baby. We just adore her. She has been rolling over for about 2 months. She has just started scooting backwards. She manages to get all around our living room. Soon she'll be sitting up and crawling. We started her on solids a couple weeks ago. And she broke through her first two teeth about 2 weeks ago.
Look at this stud...Justin! Justin is now a Sophomore in High School. Wow, that makes us feel old. He plays football at school which he loves. He is great at it. And more than anything he loves hanging out with his friends. Justin is very popular with the ladies and has had a girlfriend for several months. Him and Logan have a wonderful relationship. In fact, when he isn't here Logan will often say, "Lolo's sad," and when I ask him why he is sad he says, "Cuz I miss Justin."
And that about sums it up.
Scott & I are just enjoying this wonderful life that we are building together. We just enjoy doing the day to day things. On today's agenda...putting together Logan's big boy bed rail, bribing Logan to let us cut his hair, Scott playing Xbox, me hopefully getting a nap when the kids go down, then putting the kids to bed and enjoying a nice dinner and movie just Scott and I.
August 1st was Steph's 30th birthday party. I was waiting until we had her party to update my blog but then sitting here tonight a thought just occurred to me...what if she thought I didn't post about her yet because I had forgotten. Well I hadn't forgotten and decided I better post now.
It's crazy for me to think that my younger sister just turned 30! Where does the time go? I hope she had a wonderful birthday and we can't wait to celebrate with her. Steph is an amazing sister and one of my very best friends. She has been with me through all the good times and all the bad times. She is one of the constants in my life. And she is truly beautiful inside and out.
The kids and I had a wonderful first vacation. Daddy & Justin weren't able to come. Thanks to Katie & Layne we were able to go stay in their rented beach house right on the beach. We had a wonderful time. The 3 amigo cousins got to hang out together 24/7. They were in heaven. And all us sisters and mom got to spend time together just us. It was a great vacation!!
