Oaks Park

We hit up pre-school days at a local amusement park and Logan had a blast riding all his favorite rides.  Not pictured are the giant slide and the airplanes.  He's not a dare devil, choosing not to ride the roller coaster, but I figure I have time to convert him.  And his "cool" look on the motorcycle ride kills me.

3 Years!

I can't believe he's 3!  Sometimes it feels like its been at least 5 years and other days, I can't believe he's so big.  He asked for an Alligator party and that's exactly what he got, complete with a homemade cake!  We had some special visitors and spent lots of time playing together. Sometimes I wish I could hit pause for just a little while, we are just having so much fun! 

Happy Birthday Logan! 

And thank you to everyone who made his special day and the last 3 three years so wonderful!

Climbing High!!

My boy is getting pretty bold at the play ground these days, and when we hit up a new park with a rock wall up to the slide, it was a no-brainer.  Daddy taught him how to climb, and he was hooked.  I was practicing all the heart attacks its going to give me!

Last Day of Pre-School

It may not be the last we see of pre-school (we have 2 more years in the making) but it was the last day of Mommy and Me school and that made it kinda sentimental for me.  It started a little rocky, but really grew on me.  Watching Logan make new friends and really look forward to his school days made it all worth it.  We took a school bus ride on our last day and the kids all thought it was the coolest, and it was!

We survived...

I should really say that I survived, because my kid barely even let a tear fall....  it was out first ER visit, together!  I did my best to keep myself together as I saw my little babe's face split open and he did his best to sit still through stitches.  Together, we made quite the pair.  I can officially say this now, as a mother, it hurt just as bad to watch him go through that.  I never quite understood, but I do now, the pit in my stomach when he is running full speed down hill or the sick feeling when he is standing too close to the edge.  Its terrible and wonderful at the same time, to love someone so much that you have physical pain for them.   Let's hope we don't have to head back anytime soon, that was enough excitement for a long time!

What We Have Been Up To...

We took a quick flight over the pacific to a beautiful island, full of Aloha spirit!  We were privileged enough to celebrate some special milestones with family and spend lots of sun filled days hanging out on the beach with sandy toes.  My kid will never be the same, he is likely spoiled for life with warm water and crystal clear pools of salt water.   I'm so glad we got the chance to share this kind of vacation with him - I know its really not that often you get quality time like this and we are so grateful to out family for making it possible and making it special!
