Christmas

This year was the first year that we were really into christmas in a long time. Christmas Eve marked 10 years since my dad died. Christmas has never been the same. Now we have the kids, it has made it easier for us to celebrate Christmas and have fun again. It was so exciting too because we moved and have a porch to put lights up and that was fun to decorate. here are some pics of the place and Christmas day. Logan told us, " This was the best Christmas ever!" It wasn't half bad!!


ALL THE LIGHTS!

LOGAN ANXIOUS TO GO SEE WHAT SANTA BROUGHT!

MADDIE BRINGING GIFTS!

LOGAN AND SOME OF HIS PRESENTS!

Snow Day

Can you believe it?! Yes this is true.. it's snowing in Vegas! And it was enough to stick! The kids and I are so excited...

Weirdos!

Maddie's cathchin on quick. She's learning all the wonderful faces of us!

Bad Hair Day

Maddie has thin, crazy hair. Every time she wakes up it looks like this.


It varies a little from time to time, but this is Maddie's crazy hair!

Logan's Wish

Gramee saved a wishbone for Logan. He told me a couple days later what he wanted to wish for. He said he wanted Daddy and me to stay home with him all the time. Then a couple minutes later he said, " Does that mean you can't buy me stuff? Then I think I want to change my wish." I was telling Daddy the story a couple days later and Logan was there. He said he wanted to keep that wish because Santa could buy him a bunch of presents! That Santa is pretty amazing, don't ya think?!

Family Pics

We're weird, I know!

This was the best normal one.




Logan enjoyed Maddie's cake!


Maddie's not sure what to think.

Maddie's Birthday!

Maddie turned one on Wednesday the 19th. I can't believe it. It went by so fast! We had two celebrations for her. These pics are from the first one. Thanks to our cousins and family for coming! She had strawberry cupcakes. She loved it. On her actual b-day it was just us (Mom, Dad and Logan). She had more cake and Logan helped her open her present. We took some family photos after. I'll post them soon.

Logan and Obama, again...

It's so funny that I just posted that stuff about Obama and Logan. I brought Logan to work with me today. I was sitting at my computer and I looked up and saw this...





and he said, "Hi I need an appointment." What a geek.
Also, Logan told me the reason he like Obama, " Because he's black and I like his face."

Maddie's faces

Logan and the election

Logan has been his usual funny self. He was sure funny during the election. Which is weird cause Mike and I aren't very political at all. My father in law Bob is very conservative and even offered to pay Mike $50 to vote for Mccain and Palin. When Grandma came over one day, she left to go vote early. Logan told her before she left, " I hope you vote for Barack Obama." He's a huge fan of Barack Obama. He doesn't really have a reason. He just likes him. He was playing with Maddie and he was under a blanket screaming. Mike told him to quiet down. He said, "But daddy, I'm big scary John Mccain."
On Halloween night we went to this thing for my church. They handed out glow sticks. When we got home he was holding one up and he was like, " I'm John Mccain. Thanks for listening, and I approve this message." He did the same thing for Obama.

It's been a while

Dang... it's been a while since I've posted anything new. Well, Maddie is walking. She has been for a month or so. She will be 1 on Wednesday the 19th. That went by so quick! She's so cute and she makes funny faces. She fits in so well with us!

Superman

Last night Logan was Superman. A friend of mine gave us a costume. He just wears it for fun. I was messin with him and he said if you do that again I'll kill you. I told him not to say that. That it wasn't nice. So he said, "If you do that again, I'll say mean words to you so if you don't want me to say mean words to you, you better stop."

The Move

Monday we moved. My mother in law, Sandy, came over to help watch the kids. We had just got to the new place, and I had put a few toys in Logan's new room for the kids to play and stuff. It was our first load, and Logan closed the door, with a key lock, and left Maddie locked in the room alone. I called the guy we're renting from and he had the only key and was about 20 minutes away. Maddie was of course freakin out. We didn't want to kick in the door cause she was right there. So, as I'm on the phone with our landlord, Mike punched a hole in the door and got her out. So now we have a door to replace. Other than that, we love our new place and we can walk to a park across the street. Now we just need to get settled and it'll be great!

This is the door.

This is Mike's hand. Looks way better than the first day. It was all bloody and nasty the first day.

We're moving Monday, and we're sooooo excited! Every night Logan askes me, "Mommy, when I wake up, are you going to work?" I say yes, usually. Wednesday night he said, "Oh I thought we were moving tomorrow." He's silly. Now he's learned the days of the week, but he still doesn't quite understand the concept of time.

Patty Cake

The other night Logan and Maddie were playing patty cake on the rocking chair. It was so cute. I took a few cute pics and one really cute video. Here's the pics. I couldn't get the video to come up. Logan sings it, " And throw it in the oven for 20 minutes for Logan and Maddie."
