Our big infant

The other day Logan insisted on getting in the high chair (which I need to just throw away). As you can see he has outgrown it considerably. Lorin teases me because I still like to call Logan my infant. Silly huh? Look how tall he is for a baby boy. :) He will always be my baby boy.

Our Garden

We got our vegetable garden planted last night. I am so excited. Last year we didn't plant one and I really missed it. It was nice of Lorin's brother Chris to help. Saved me from having to do it so it was very nice. I wasn't totally lazy though. I mowed and fertilized our so called lawn. Hopefully sometime soon we can get going on all the projects around our house that will make things look so much better.

All Boy

Logan has recently decided that he likes to play with bugs. The other day it was this worm. He played with it for a while. Some how it ended up in two pieces in the house. He was told to take it back to the dirt and so he did. He also enjoys finding roly poly bugs under rocks. As long as the bugs don't end up in the house it is cute.

Winding Down 3rd Grade

Megan at the 3rd grade simple machine fair 5/15/08. Thank goodness for dads who can help build those kind of projects!

Megan at her 3rd grade recorder concert 5/15/08. They did a really good job. Megan asked if I saw her eyes watering. I guess she needed to cough during the whole thing but managed not too.

Let's play where's waldo...er where's Lorin

See if you can spot Lorin.

So last August we went to the Josh Groban concert. Originally we had really bad seats. By really bad I mean at the very top row at the very back. But that was alright I was just excited to be there. Well we took Bill (a salesman at C.T.U.) and his wife with us. Bill went out to get some ice cream. He called Lorin's phone and said he was given tickets to some better seats. Well the guy must know how to practice "The Secret" or something because he was given 6th row seats just left of the stage. They were filming this concert for the Awake tour DVD so they didn't want any empty seats at the front. Bill was at the right place at the right time apperently. I was able to touch Josh's hand because he would sing right where our seats were. Yeah I know a bit cheesy and immature but it was fun to act like a 17 year old again.

On Sat. we bought the DVD because we were in a way participants in the show right? And it would be our only claim to fame I am sure. I looked through the front cover of the DVD yesterday and sure enough there was Lorin in one of the pictures. I am hidded by Josh darn it.

Happy Mother's Day!!

I want to wish all the women out there a great weekend and a happy Mother's Day! It is always good to be reminded of how special being a mother is and that it is the greatest thing we can do. I appreciate all the great examples of motherhood that I have around me. My mom, my sisters, my friends, family etc. You all are awesome and I appreciate all of you. You are all beautiful!

Yes this is me in the picture. On my blessing day.

Mom thanks for being you! You are the greatest. I don't know what I would do without you. You are such an example to me of strength, patience, faith and hope. Thanks for the many many things you do for all of us. You are beautiful!!

Wow how time flies. My mom and me at my bridal shower. Love you mom!

Happy Mother's Day to Lorin's beautiful mother. She may not be with us anymore but we still feel her strong influence in our lives. She will always be a source of strength to us. She had to overcome so much in her life and was such a great example to all of us. She raised a wonderful, faithful family. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. We miss her so much but know that we will see her again and that she watches over us.

Mom we hope we make you proud!

Today at horse therapy Cassidy got to brush Roany for the first time. She is really starting to warm up to the animals. She absolutely loves Roany and she isn't scared of Alison's dog named Blue. Cassidy pets her all on her own and likes to watch her run around the corral. Cassidy talks a lot as she rides too. It is a great thing for her to do.

Cassidy insisted on bringing an apple to feed to Roany. Alison wasn't sure if Roany would eat it since that isn't a regular part of his diet but sure enough he gobbled the whole thing down. I think that made Cassidy's day.
