Happy Birthday Logan

December 29, 2012

Today Logan is three!! Logan and Daddy went to the wave pool and out for lunch. Aubrey and Mom stayed home because Aubrey is very sick with the flu.  Logan loves going down the slide at the wave pool and had a lot of fun.

I asked Logan some questions and below are his answers or what I thought he would say if he could put it into words:

What’s your favorite activity: Colouring, using my scissors, swimming, going to the zoo and the science centre
What’s your favorite animal: Donkey (lol, this surprised us)

What is your favorite thing to eat: Tiger Ice cream and Oatmeal
Favorite Show: The Cat in the Hat
Favorite Movie: Cars

Favorite Book: Any train book
Favorite Colors: Logan likes all the colors but usually asks for the orange cup and plate if he is given the choice
Favorite Song: Happy Birthday
Best Friend: Daddy
What is your favorite thing to do with Mommy: Go to the zoo, science centre, help mommy cook
What is your favorite thing to do with Daddy: Swimming
What do you want to be when you grow up: Build Houses like Daddy

Logan is such a wonderful little boy, we love him so much.  He loves being active, always wants to be out doing something, I think he would be happiest if we could be out of the house at 9:00am everyday.  He is usually up by 6:30am and always asking for us to make him Oatmeal. He loves books but has now discovered TV is fun also. He is a big helper always wants to help mom cook dinner, set the table and do dishes.  He loves being a big brother and loves playing with Aubrey. He is so happy and has the best laugh! Logan gives the best hugs and kisses.  He has starting to use the potty most of the time but still is a little unsure of the big potty but like everything else I know he will use it when he is ready.  Happy Birthday Logan we love you so much! 

Happy Birthday Aubrey

December 10, 2012

I can't believe my baby is 1!! This year has gone by so fast! Best year if my life. It's fun to think back, when I found out we were having a girl. When we found out Aubrey was breach and that I needed to have a c section (2 days before my due date) that was stressful and showed us that anything can happen. I can remember her in my belly and I loved her even before she was born and she was part of our family. The first time I saw her laying on the bed, I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. What a special little girl we have!! We are so lucky. I never want her to go one day without feeling loved and special! I want her to be proud to be a girl to have confidence to be kind and loving and for her to follow her dreams to know that she has worth the only person she needs to impress is our Heavenly Father and for her to do her best.

It's fun to see her personality come out. She is sweet and sensitive but she has no problem telling me or anyone else what she wants or doesn't want. I love her so so much! I always call her angel because that's what she is to me.

Logan and Aubrey's Birthday Party

December 8, 2012

Today  December 8, 2012 we had Logan and Aubrey's birthday party. We had it at the church gym. I think Logan had lots of fun, I think Aubrey had fun also but I was so busy trying to get things ready that I didn't give her the attention she needs which is the only thing that makes her most happy.

We rented a bouncy house, had chicken nuggets, fries and Shawn's mom got made some really fun cakes. I made sugar cookies so the kids could decorate them. I think this was my first party I have done by myself, I put a lot of thought in to it and I think it went well. It was surprisingly expensive but it makes me want to host another party.

Gratitude

When I was younger my mom gave me this book and each day you would have a little piece of inspiration to read. One day the writer encouraged the readers to start a gratitude journal. Now if I have a bad day or week I try to remember to write down the things I am grateful for. This week has been really hard but I have so much to be grateful for.
I have two healthy amazing children
I have a loving, kind husband
I have three sisters who are my very best friends
I have a wonderful mother and father
I belong to a church that encourages me to be better who brings only light to the world
I live sin a wonderful country, even if its freezing I wouldn't want to live anywhere else
Me and my family is healthy
I have the power to be whatever I want to be.

I could go on forever but I'm grateful to be alive and I hope each day I can bring only love and kindness to others lives.
