Centennial Park!

We were lucky enough to hear from a good friend about a new AMAZING park!  The park had some really great features that most parks don't have!  I look forward to taking the kids, including TJ, to play at this park often!  We had a great time with our friends! 

 This little spinner gets going VERY FAST! 

 This swing was great!  The kids loved being able to both be on it!  I could swing on that swing all day!

 Lily playing with Drew on the climber wheel? don't know what you would call it!  When you walk up the wheel, it starts to move!  Lily thought it was great!

This is one of the two tree houses!  Lily would have spent all day there!  They also have this ropes thing that looks like so much fun and a water park!  We will be spending a lot of time there this summer!  Hopefully it wont be too crowded as more people learn about this new gem! 

Being One has its PERKS!

 Now that Logan is ONE! he can enjoy some of the finer things in life!  He was able to partake of his first PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY sandwich for lunch!  He was a fan!  That made Lily happy because it is one of her favorites!  Now when they both have PB & J Lily is very excited that Logan is eating the same thing as her! 

Our Birthday Boy!

Our little man turned ONE!!!!!!  This past year has gone by way too fast!  We are so lucky to have this little man in our family!  To celebrate his actual birthday we started off with chocolate chip pancakes!  Logan LOVED them! 

 And then after breakfast, we opened presents from Dad, Mom and Lily.  He had such a great time opening and playing with his gifts. 

It was such a special day that we had an appearance from none other than Lily Fairy Princess!!!

 After we played for a while, we got ready and went to Church.  After Church we were able to SKYPE with both sets of grandparents.  It was great to watch him open their gifts and get so excited to talk to them!  It is amazing what technology allows us especially since we live so far away!

 This little man climbs on EVERYTHING! 

 "Ball, ball ball!"  Logan LOVES his ball!  It is usually the first thing out of his mouth in the morning!

 We finished off the day with dinner and cake.  Logan was so tired by the end of the day, BUT that didn't stop him from finishing off his birthday cake!  Asleep or awake, the cake will be eaten! 

Our little man has grown so much in the past year!  We sure do LOVE our little Lo! 
A few stats from his first year....
* He has 5 teeth with one cutting through.
* He took his first steps 10 minutes before his party the day before his birthday!  Now a week later he is walking longer distances with a smile and a laugh the whole time!
* He says, Mama, Dada, LLLL(Lily), Ball, ball, ball, bu(book), ha(hi) with a wave!
* He can throw ball like a champ! 
* He goes up and down the stairs, up and down the couch, and down the bed in record time!
* He can make anyone smile and laugh in just seconds!  He especially gets his sister going!  They play hard and laugh even harder!
* He is great at hugs and cuddling.  He just radiates love!
WE LOVE YOU LITTLE BUDDY!

It's Time to Celebrate!

Logan will be turning ONE tomorrow!  In his honor, we had a little party with some friends!  We went with the theme of sports because Logan is very into playing ball!  I asked TJ what kind of cake to make and he gave me the idea of making a circle cake and turn the different sections into a different ball.  I think the cake turned out AMAZING!  We also had balls of all sizes and shapes to play with!  Logan and Lily were in heaven all day long playing with the balls together!  It was the perfect one year old birthday party!

 My little party planner helper!  Lily is very into parties and planning them!  She is a great help!  She is also an AMAZING big sister!  She was so excited to get Logan a present and plan him a party! 

Before the party began, we took some pictures of the kids playing.  They were giggling and laughing like crazy!  They are so sweet to watch play together!

 AND THEN...10 minutes before our guests arrived, Logan decided that it was time to start walking!  He has been able to for a long time, but he has been scared to do it!  Then today he just went for it!  He would walk back and forth between the couches!  I was so excited to get a picture of it!  We are so proud of him!

 Lily was excited to help Logan open his presents and even more excited to try them out for him!

 Logan was most excited about the book he got! 

 The other kids sure enjoyed testing out Logan's new toys!

 Happy Birthday little buddy!  We sure do love you!

 Logan Loved his cake!  Lucky for him, he gets to have some tomorrow too! 

How can you not love that little grin!  We had a great time celebrating with our friends and family!
