Logan's 1/2 Birthday

We had a 1/2 Bday for Drakey when he was 6 months so we had to do it again for Logan! Nothing too crazy, just some cake:) Time has flown by (it honestly seems like Drake was just a newborn) I can't believe Logan is 1/2 a year. We love him:) Smooches LogiBear!

Little Cute face!

Cake and present

MMMMmmmmm!

I am in love with digital scrapbooking. But the downside is that you can keep fussing with it and changing it (a very bad thing if you are a little OCD like me) I made a page and I HATED it. Grant kept saying it was fine and asking what was wrong with it. But I couldn't let it go. It was one of my favorite pics of Drake and I didn't want it on an ugly page! So here is my first attempt...

GAY!

And I'm MUCH happier with this one...

Sick Boys = Miserable EVERYONE

Well on Sunday night Drake got a runny nose and I didn't think much of it, but that runny nose turned into a bad cold and fast. And of course Logan is sick also. Both boys were crying and miserable all day yesterday and even worse today. Drake is so stuffed up he can hardly breath and hardly slept last night. I was up on and off with him until 4 am and that's when he woke up for good! Luckily Grant is awesome and stayed up with him until 7 when he went back to sleep. And then who decides to wake up soon after that?? Logan of course! Then Logan falls asleep again around 9 and I'm thinking I'm good to go back to bed. So I get all tucked in and warm in bed and I hear Drake crying AGAIN, and he woke Logan up... UGH! This pattern has continued most of the day. And I cannot wait for their Dr appointment tonight. I cannot think of anything worse than sick babies. Me and Grant have been drinking Air Bornes like there's no tomorrow but we are both feeling yucky anyway. I hope this doesn't last long and we can't wait for warmer weather.

The only good thing about being stuck in-doors is the time to catch up on some scrapping:) I hope everyone else is doing good and that no one catches this yuckiness that's going around!!

Did you know that Batman and Spider Man are best friends??

If I ever have a daughter, one of the things I'm the most excited for is dress-ups.... but I'd say these are just as fun!


Spider-man


Batman!


WOOHOO

Discovery Gateway

This last weekend we went to the children's museum at the gateway. I've never been before and thought it was so much fun! Drake loved it and could've played all night. Anyone who knows Drake, knows how much he loves being outside and running... so this was a great place to be since it's so cold outside!
The other really fun part of the night was after the museum we had lunch with Grant since his office is at the gateway. And by lunch I really mean dinner because his lunch is at 9:00 pm. It was a really fun night. And by-the-way... this post is pretty sad to write because my sister Whitney was in town and she went back to Florida last night :( waaa! Miss you already !

Here's Whit, Grant and Drake, me and Shelby. Grant was on a break and walked with us down to the museum

Playin' in the water area. He always loves playing in the sink at home so he totally loved this.

Well it seems like the blogging world has died a little and everyone is facebooking for the moment. I am still figuring out facebook but everytime I login, it seems like I am on there forever and then I completely neglect my blog! But it doesn't help that there hasn't been much to post about with us. Grant posted that we put our house up for sale and I don't think I've mentioned it. But that has been keeping us busy because we are constantly cleaning in case anyone comes by to look at the house. And it's even harder with Drake on the loose because he's a little mess-maker. And my sister Whitney is in town and we have been having so much fun together. But we've been pretty low-key. Just hanging out, watchin' movies and talking and the babies keep us busy. I'm going to be so sad when she goes home next week :( Hopefully I will stop being lame and post some pics soon!

An Update on Us

Everyone has been so concerned for Drakey so I just wanted to say that he is great. He hasn't let his first major injury slow him down at all. After the first few days the swelling went down a lot and then the actual bruising got darker. He is still busy and always on the move. And as my mom says, this is probably the first of many toddler-age battle wounds.

Grant and Drake are snuggle buddies:)


These next pics are from the last month that I've been wanting to post. Am I the only one that dislikes loading pics from the camera?? I'm so impatient...
Ha, this is the two Wolverines


These are the markers that Drake got for Christmas. It was so funny because Grant just kept saying over and over, "He is too young for markers" And I kept telling Grant "He needs to express his creativity" (as Drake keeps putting the markers in his mouth and sucking on them) As you can see it is much much more fun to color on skin than on paper... Good thing they wash off so easy

I have to credit this awesome idea to my friend, Dianne. Saw it on her blog and thought "Why

didn't I think of that??" Now I can get ready in peace

Bathtime! Nothing cuter than a baby bathin' in the kitchen sink

Cutie Pie

Poor Baaaby!!!

One of Drake's favorite things to do is RUN. Sometimes he just runs back and forth over and over again. Well tonight we were at Grant's parents' house and he was running between couches and then tripped into the hard part of the couch. And that's how Drake got his first black eye...

Christmas Time

I feel like the last few weeks have been a total blur! We have been having so much fun and I haven't had a chance to post any of it. So it's time to catch up :)

First is when we went to the zoo lights. It was so much fun even though is was so cold.

Drake and Mom

Drake loved these cats, they were the only animals we saw. He said "kitty"

Then Grant has had to work every holiday... Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and Day. So I spent a lot of time with my family at my mom's house. On Christmas Eve we had a party and dinner. And we were having a contest who could make the ugliest holiday sweater and we all wore them to the party. We ate and played games, it was really fun.

Then we had our Christmas morning at 4 am when Grant got home from work. So we woke up Drake and Logan didn't want to miss out cuz he woke up too. Me and Grant had so much fun watching Drake open his presents. We didn't take many pics but took LOTS of video. So I'll post some video later.

Our stockings

Santa came!!

Baby Logan

How my brother Trevor broke his legs.

This is Grant's post: You can see Trevor didn't break his legs... but it looks bad. I had to put this on Natalie's blog because it deserves at least 6 views and my blog only has one person watching it...Natalie!

Logan's Blessing

Yesterday was Logan's blessing. Logan's Uncle Jarell gave him his blessing and it was beautiful and meant so much to us. Then everyone came to our house for some lunch. We ate "garbage", an awesome idea given to me by my sister, Shelby. You put some Fritos or Doritos in a ziploc along with taco meat, chili, cheese, sour cream, lettuce and anything else you like then you crunch it all up and eat it out of the bag! It was a good time when the house started clearing out and I looked in to find NO DISHES.


Here's Logan in the morning after his bath. He was relaxing until it was time to get in his outfit
This is Drake helping Grant with some last minute cleaning before the party

All dressed up and sooo handsome

Immediately after church trying to strip out of his church clothes... Hm wonder where he gets that from... Honestly when we got home from church, within minutes Grant was in jeans and Drake and Logan were crying until they were in comfy clothes!

We love Logan so much and are so happy he got sent to our family. Happy blessing day baby!!
