A little bit of this, and a little bit of that...

Logan walks around the house all day with this refrigerator magnet toy. He loves to push the button and dance to the music. Usually he is carrying it up next to his ear, so we call it is little boom box.

Jaden and I made some Halloween cookies the other day. This kind of task is really hard for me because as it turns out I don't have a lot of patience. Jaden had a great time and the cookies were delicious so overall it was worth the time and mess.

After church on Sunday the sun was actually out so we decided to head out on a walk. Jaden got himself dressed. Kinda embarrassing, but I figured it was pretty obvious that I didn't dress him this way.

I decided that this year instead of carving pumpkins that I would let the boys paint theirs. Logan actually only took a few crayons to his since it was late and he needed to be in bed shortly after we started (doesn't he look great in his Christmas jammies). Jaden however did love painting his pumpkin. I just realized that I didn't take a picture of his masterpiece after it was complete, I'll have to post that later.

So this is our daily newspaper that covers both Pullman, Wa and Moscow, ID. I just think it is hilarious how small it is. There are ads rolled up in there too.

Proud Mama Moment

I took Logan in for his one year check up a few days ago. The appointment was coming to a close and the Dr. mentioned that they could give Jaden his flu shot at the same time they gave Logan all of his shots. After he left and we were waiting for the nurse to come in with the needles I had to quickly tell Jaden that surprise although we are here for Logan he gets to be poked at too. He didn't seem to get too upset when I told him, but I was mentally preparing myself to haul two bawling kids out of the office.

When the nurse came in Jaden asked her who was going to get a shot first and she replied that it was up to him. Jaden looked her right in the eyes and said, "I'll go first, so I can show my little brother how to be brave." He hopped right up on the table and took it like a man, I don't think he even flinched once. I was so proud of Jaden for being such a good big brother. Despite all the pulling/pushing/tugging he does, Jaden really does love Logan and takes such good care of him.

Our little birthday boy

It's really hard to believe that my baby is one! Logan has grown up so quickly over the past couple of weeks and really has transitioned into a boy rather than a baby. We had a little party for Logan and he really enjoyed being the center of attention. My parents were able to come over for few days to help us celebrate which added to all the fun.

What little boy doesn't like to get a coat for his birthday? Well maybe it's not as fun as a little bike or a new toy...but Logan still loved it!

Logan enjoyed playing around with the cake, sticking an occasional bite in his mouth. We were surprised that he didn't end up very messy at all. He usually does more damage than that during a typical lunch.
