New Do

Logan had his first haircut the other day. I am so lucky to have my sister-in-law as a hairstylist to help me out. I really am not so good at this boy hair thing.

Logan wasn't too happy with her. He had just woken up from his nap hence the binky. He started to cheer up when we were leaving. She even tried to bribe him with a sucker but he wouldn't even try it.
She actually cut quite a bit off but when I was trying to gather some up there wasn't much to pick up. His hair is really fine right now. I was a little nervous that he wouldn't look like a little kid after his haircut but was refreshed to see that he still does (or to me at least).

Thanks again Jana for the great haircut and styling tips. I owe it to you!

Happy Anniversary!

Ben and I celebrated our 5 year anniversay this weekend. I can't believe we have been married for that long. Our anniversay was on friday but we both had to work so we had decided to do most of our celebrating on saturday.

However, to my suprise Ben had something up his sleeve. When I came home from work on friday just exhausted and feeling down, he had little notes posted all over the house that said things like.......

(This one just made me laugh. Just random Ben humor.)

These were just some of my favorites. He literally had them everywhere and I am still finding them. It was such a wonderful suprise and very thoughtful. He also suprised me with a box of Girl Scout Cookies.

(He wrote that because that is was the box of cookies says. Took me awhile to figure that out.)

Yum. We hadn't bought any this year due to things being tight so I was WAY excited. I probably shouldn't admit this, but I have already eaten the whole box. I was so caught off guard by all this and it really reminded me how much I love my hubby.

On Saturday my parents offered to take Logan for us so that we could go out to dinner and a movie. We went to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and then went to eat at the Olive Garden. The movie was cute and had a good meaning too it. I think bits of it were too girly for Ben but he was a trooper to take me. We then went and had a wonderful meal at the Olive Garden. We both thought it felt weird to not have a child begging for your attention the whole time. It was wonderful to just to get sit and eat and talk to eachother.

We then came home and made up some chocolate fondue and dipped some strawberries in it. It was wonderful!

Thanks again to my mom and dad for watching Logan. I know he had a blast with you and loves being spoiled. They took him to the Cracker Barrell and got him his own macaroni and cheese and a juice. They said he just loved it. They also bought him a soccer ball that he just loves. My dad taught him how to kick it and he loves to go outside and play with it. We are so lucky to have a wonderful family that helps to make our anniversay extra special!

The Treehouse Museum

For Christmas, Logan got some free passes to the Treehouse Museum so we decided to go and check it out this weekend.
This was the first thing we saw when we came in and let's just say he would have been happy with just that. He thought he was so cool sitting up there all by himself. We finally convinced him to move on to some other things. This was his favorite:

He loved climbing across this bridge. We had to help him at first as it was pretty steep but soon he learned how to pull himself across it.

Logan also loved.......

pulling this table apart

putting on a puppet show (even if he was the puppet)

playing chess

playing knights

and making music!

Although we had a blast this was Logan right before we left.....

Ironically right before this picture he had walking over to this frog and gave it a hug! I was very impressed and would love to take Logan back here. I can see that there are fun things to do with them at all ages and look forward to going there many more times.

Oh I felt so bad. We had a little fall while learning to walk outside. Good thing he forgets quickly and still seems to love me.
