Gymnastics Fun

Jordy has been doing gymnastics for quite a few months now and absolutely love it. He does really well at it too and likes to try all the new things. He struggles with listening to his teacher at times but has gotten immensely better at it over time. right now he is doing gymnastics with his good buddy "Elliot". She is one of Logan's best buddies little sister. Every Monday after gymnastics we all head to the local park and play for a couple more hours. It has been a nice routine for us and the weather has been absolutely beautiful on those days. I am definitely enjoying our time outdoors a bit more during these winter months knowing my time is limited with them. :)

Yes, Griffin and Logan are in their undies! I may have over dressed my boys a bit not realizing it was going to end up in the 80's so we decided to let them play in their briefs. I must say they were pretty cute too!

Her 1st Debut!

Valentine's Day 2013

This Valentine's Day is one that will be hard to beat . . . I love this holiday because to me it is just one more reason to show those we love just how much. I did marry a man however who does not put as much value on this holiday typically. However you would never guess that this year. We gave each other out gifts the night before. He surprised me with flowers, chocolates, a beautiful card(which to me is the best . . .no need to spend a lot)that made me cry, and DIAMOND EARRINGS! What!!!! They are BEAUTIFUL! Way to go Handsome Hubby!! I LOVE YOU!

And on to the rest of the day . . .The boys had special surprises to wake up to at their seats for breakfast. Logan had a BLAST at his V-Day party at school. After their naps, the boys headed to a friends house to play while Jeremy and I headed to our ultrasound and dr's appt. This go round we decided to have the lady put the gender of our baby in an envelope for us to open later. We took the boys to Chucky Cheese's for a fun Valentine's Day Family night and that is where we got the best surprise!

It's a GIRL!!!! We are still in shock!

More Miscellaneous . . .

Taking a break baking Valentines Cookies with my boys Jordy was thoroughly enjoying his MnM's while watching his cookies bake Logan and the "Flaming Tigers" A couple weekends ago after Logan's soccer game, we came home to a funny little visitor. Meet Seymore! Seymore we found out is a desert tortoise who may or may not have been someone's pet but who we believe has been residing in our bushes for quite some time. After taking care of him for the weekend we decided to get him to a place where he could become someone's pet. The boys LOVED having him and were very sad to see him go :( Logan; Leader of the pack with all his little girl friends at Addison's birthday party All the fairies and superheroes catching the butterflies . . .They all had fun! Happy Birthday Addison! Creating his masterpiece

Logan is 3 1/2

Logan turned 3 1/2 in January and I feel like he needs an update. You see my blog is MY way to preserve these moments in time forever and I always want to remember him at this moment. Everyday he reminds me more and more of his daddy. He really is like his "Mini-me". He is thriving at preschool and has many many friends. Two of his best friends at this time are Griffin and Tate and everyday after preschool he tells me he misses them and can't wait to see them again. He definitely has the same "protector" personality that Jeremy has and I absolutely love that about him. He protects his brother and takes care of him so sweetly. It is so funny when Jeremy says something to me that Logan "thinks" is not "ok" to say to mommy because he speaks right up and defends me to the core. It almost never is something that Jeremy has said inappropriately but how Logan heard it and so we have to talk it through a little. But it is still so sweet.

He LOVES computer games and preschool workbooks and there are afternoons I have to make him get away from the table and quit working on them and help him to go find some toys to play with. He just loves to use his mind. I am so excited for him to be a big brother again because he is so excited. He was so little when Jordy was born that this is so different for him. He asks daily how big baby is now and talks about holding the baby and helping me with the baby all the time.

Logan is not napping 75% of the time but still needs one every now and then. He loves animals and being outside. He also talks non-stop and is constantly asking question after question. :) He is working on being a better listener and not challenging mom and dad with everything. :) He is a very picky eater these days, but I have enforced a rule of trying 1 new food every night at dinner and he is getting a little better at it. Small steps small steps. Our Logan blows us away everyday with his challenging wit (at times) and his sweet heart and we are both so proud of this little man growing up before us. We love you Logan!

OC Zoo

The boys and I spent a morning at the OC Zoo with our good friends' Melissa and Kenley. It is a nice, small zoo perfect for little ones and it has playgrounds and picnic areas all around it perfect for making the day of it.

Officially a "Soccer Mom"

Logan started soccer this month with the YMCA and it is his first real organized team to be on. I am so excited for him! I know that I clearly am more excited than he is right now and that I am going to have to constantly "check" myself that I am not pushing him to hard. He is only 3 (remember :) ) That was more for me . . .Lol. But in all reality, he is very excited to be on the Orange team with one of his best buds from preschool, Griffin. He also has taken a great interest in practicing his "moves" he says nearly every afternoon outside. It has been fun to watch him learn the game a little and the idea of a team. I am pretty sure his other favorite part is the snack at the end too!

Our Flaming Tigers are just too cute!

Randoms

So not much new to report on the home front these days, just a few pics to post.

The boys had an extra fun night in the bath with colored water, bubbles, and bath paints. It was a definite hit but I think they both came out looking like raisins because they were in there so long! :)

I swear this child has music in his future. He turns everything into a drum set these days. Oh and yes he is wearing Dad's belt. Goofy kid!

Logan has always been my child that has to fight sleep EVERY night. Typically we find him laying in this exact spot waiting for one of us to come back upstairs to check on him. Usually scares the bageebers out of us to find him. :) Not this night though . . . He wasn't tire though ;)

Jordy wanted to be wrapped up like a baby . . . too funny because he actually stayed like that for a few minutes.

Baby "Tigger" is on it's way!

I know this is probably old news for most but Baby "Tigger" as Logan has so nicely named is due to arrive July 5th, 2013. We are so excited for this new arrival and I am sooooo excited to be moving into the second tri. This has definitely been the hardest first trimester I have had. Not sure if it is just because I am older and chasing around a 2 and 3 year old or if it really is harder. But I can tell you week 14 couldn't come soon enough :) Jordy doesn't quite understand that Mommy has a baby in her tummy but Logan is very excited about the baby. He is always wanting to know how big it is now and loves to give the baby kisses. We are scheduled to find out the sex of this baby on Valentines Day!! It will be a fun surprise so stay tuned!!!
