Photography Session


Sunday after church was great! It was spent with Great friends and I had the chance to photograph them for family pictures. I loved how Pieper was always saying *CHEESE* but never looking at the camera (sometimes makes for great photos) She is so stinkin cute! Carson, (Logans best buddy) wanted the photo session to end so Logan and him could play on the playground... LOVE this family!

Finally, Logan had his party.

   




Logan finally was able to have his Birthday Party. He was beyond excited... his FIRST party with his friends from church and school.  We had a "Lego" themed birthday. I *tried* to make a lego cake but as I was taking the cake out of the pan to make, it broke apart... it ended up going back into the pan and finished it there.

  

   







Ok, So now I am posting way below pictures, I am really disliking this new Blog set up.   Ok, as I was saying before, Logan had a party!  I had sent out 20 invited to his class with BOLD letters that had R.S.V.P ... I game my cell and my e mail address, you know... just incase one or the other. Well. I am one of these moms who hate parents who do not let me know they are coming. I knew everyone from church coming, but when I had 5 parents from school show up who DID NOT let me know I was a little upset.  LUCKLY this was  Logans day... I just let it be.  He had such a good time.  I think the best part was is that all the kids played great and the weather was cool and sunny. Perfect outdoors weather.

A week off from school...

This past week we had a WEEK off from school due to the Tennessee Walking Horse Show. The ENTIRE town basically shuts down and all schools in our area are out. Logan had his first ever sleep over with his buddy Carson. These two have become such good friends and Carson has rubbed some sweetness off on Logan.
{At least for the time Carson is over} :) We ended up going to the park to play.. it was a sad ending after almost 2 hours of playing that we left. I told the two of them that they were getting tired and needed to go home to eat and watch a movie... the boys were so upset.
Ethan went on a bike ride around the yard with Devin, giggled the entire time. I think once he can ride, I will have the next Tour de France champion in the making!
Meet River... out BEAUTIFUL Merliquin Great Dane PUPPY! She is 5 months old and very hyper. She is our 3rd Dane, I am hooked on these BIG gentle giants... Ethan crawls all over her and she puts up with him. The kids and I are LOVING her! Yes, even Devin... every now and then you will find him on the ground playing with her.
FREEZE!!! Don't go down the slide!
