Pictures by Logan...

So Logan really loves playing with my phone... that includes turning the camera on and taking photos. Last week my phone started to randomly accept and send picture mail. (I never called Sprint to make this happen - it was magic!) Granted I SHOULD probably call them to find out how much this magic is going to cost me...

ANYWAY - here are some of Logan's classic photos... we hope you enjoy his artistic interpretation! (And the titles Mommy gave them...)

"Living Room Snowfall"

"My Mommy's thigh!" or "Water Water Everywhere" (which is the book I was trying to read him when he took my camera.)

"Where the wall meets the floor"

"Solar Flare"

"Helen Ave Ghost!"

"The Bookcase I wish I Could Climb"

"We don't know..."


"We still don't know what is going on"

"My favorite blanket"

"Right Legs Rock!"

"Flight of the Footed Pajamas"

"Mommy turned the camera on me"

Sunrise... Sunset...

So this weekend my cousin Kendra got married! It was a fantastic wedding and a crazy amount of fun. Sadly we didn't take hardly any pictures! oops! The wedding was just beautiful! Kendra looked stunning and her groom, Todd wasn't half bad either. (He and I have a loving relationship that revolves around telling each other to shut up... HA! long story with alcohol involved!) Anyway... having been in Fiddler on the Roof twice (once as Tzeitel and once as Hodel) it was great fun to know all the traditional dances and such. One of Todd's cousins was super impressed with me! HA! I told I just like to pretend to be Jewish on stage. :-) (The blog title is in reference to a song from Fiddler on the Roof during the wedding scene!)

Here are a few pictures (some stolen from facebook, but whatever works!) **UPDATED** - added a picture of my beautiful cousin!!



Kendra and Tood up on the chairs... I really wish this one wasn't blurry, but it is the best I could find online!


Kendra and the bridesmaids. Todd's sister-in-law, Julie, the bride Kendra, me and our other cousin Raelynn (almost 6 months pregnant!) Rae and I seriously look albino in that picture! WOW!

My handsome cousin Derick and his lovely wife Wendy. We got to meet there sweet little girl for the first time too. Jordin is just a little rockstar. So precious!


A Glowing Raelynn and her wonderful husband Mike!


My little brother, Kyle and his fantastic wife Sarah!


Oh and then there is my sexy hubby Nathan and me. Sweaty from dancing... lovely. Oh well!

Carseats are even cooler when they are indoors!

This weekend we had taken our carseat out to make room for riding around with my cousin and her husband. After our other cousin's wedding (more on that tomorrow maybe) we went straight to pick up Logan from my in-laws, but forgot our carseat so we borrowed my in-laws. Our extra one ended up in the living room this afternoon and Logan was having great fun! First he insisted he sit in it - then he insisted we buckle him in - then he insisted we feed him dinner in the seat.

In my opinion there are certain fights worth taking on... this one - not one of them! He played with the carseat from 5:30-7:00 and I think he spent a total of an hour in the carseat. Funny how the carseat can be SO cool when it is taken out of car and put in a new place! :-)



Mommy's little boy...

Do you think that just maybe my son sees me doing this a lot?

Nothing like doing a little texting on Mommy's phone while wearing her shoes after work. Then a few minutes later he started dragging my purse around the living room. haha!

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend and I really am looking forward to posting all about our fun and festive weekend!

Christmas Photo Rejects!

There were TONS of great photos to choose from in our almost 100 photos we had to choose from. It certainly made narrowing them down hard. HOWEVER - there were definitely a lot of photos that were clear rejects! Sometimes I enjoy them as much as the great photos. Enjoy!

Christmas Came Early this year!

A quick post... Things have been crazy busy lately. My cousin is getting married this coming weekend and it should be a fantastic time! This past weekend we had a last minute bachelorette party for her - complete with a trip to the bar, comedy club and a pole and lap dancing class. All I have to say is OUCH! I am so dang sore from that class! Holy Moly! Anyway - was a great time. Just wasn't home to put together any fun little blog posts!

Sunday we met up with my brother's family for our Christmas pictures! YAY! I know it isn't even Thanksgiving yet, but I had to post these. I just love them! We were so pleased with how they turned out. You must check out Logan's pictures from last year as well. Obviously the boy is so much older, but it is just amazing! He is growing up and continuing to be such a handsome little guy. (The images are unedited so the ones we ended up getting were a bit more cropped and such.)

What a happy little boy!
My sister-in-law, Sarah said I had to get this one because it was a total mischievious face. Like, "Hi, don't you want to buy me a present?" haha!

What a handsome boy. We had some shots on a red background which is what I wanted originally since his outfit wasn't super colorful, but those didn't turn out so fantastic.

My brother's children, Tommy and Piper with Logan. It is one of the few pictures where Piper was smiling. She is such a doll though. I wish Logan had been smiling as well, but oh well. I'm just glad they all at least look happy!
Stay tuned for another post either later today or tomorrow... with the Christmas photo rejects! ha!

Logan LOVES to stack!

Logan has a great affection for stacking things. He also has a great love of balancing - himself and toys - on whatever he can find. This morning I came downstairs after Nathan let me sleep in a little while before church and he told me to check out the pictures he took before I got up. This is what I found:

Logan checking out the pantry to see what he wanted to pull out. As you can see the bottom two shelves are very empty because Logan tends to pull everything out on a daily basis. We keep meaning to put a lock of some sorts on it, but you know how it goes...

Time to stack... and what do we stack on?

The laundry detergent of course! Before it fell over Logan had it about as tall or taller than himself! Such a silly boy! I'm telling you - he is going to be an engineer some day... mark my words!

Then he saw Daddy with the camera and attacked. Check out that serious face... Must.Get.Camera.
