Logan is Seven!

Ok, so I know, he turned 7 a couple months ago, but I don't want to forget anything. Kay, here goes!

Logan wanted to have a Blue Football party.... not a blue football, but a blue theme, AND a football theme! Thus this rad homemade cake by yours truely.

Check out all the yummy blue food we had to eat! I know, the Doritos aren't REALLY blue, but the bag was and that was close enough for me :)

Here are the party animals getting their fill of blue dye.

I thought all their BLUE toungues were so stinkin funny, we had to document it!

Logans favorite gift was a remote control car from Jake and I (score! Gotta love getting 25 dollar toys for 5 bucks! Yay Walmart clearance!)

has it really been 2 months already?!

Well I decided to dust off the ol' blog and browsed through my friends and family list, and was happy to see that a lot of you haven't been on here much lately either! With several faithful blogger exceptions :)

Not that I had much to say, just wanted you (if anyone even reads this) to know that I was still alive and kickin. I have quite a few things I would like to blog about, so look for more soon.... Hopefully..... Hope all is well with all of you!

Rain

April Rain Song

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night-

And I love the rain.

Langston Hughes

This poem was going through my head last night when it was raining. I went outside for a while to listen to it. It reminds me of my childhood and living in Oregon. The sound and smell of rain is such a comfort to me. It makes me happy.

And I love the rain. And Langston Hughes :)

Boo!

Me and the kids made some Halloween cookies tonight. Fun city! They all got to help. Which means they all got covered in chocolate. But thats the best part right?? If anyone remembers, these are the same kind of cookies that we made for Valentines Day. Just Halloween style. :) They are super easy. Just oreos dipped in chocolate...Mmm....

My parents are swell. OK, I know, I've mentioned them in the last 2 posts, but really, they are swell. My mom is constantly taking care of me. Always looking for something to do that would make my life easier. I LOVE it. I don't think she knows how nice it was to not have to do a single dish the whole weekend. She's also always saying things that make me feel like I am succeeding as parent and a person. So sweet... Olivia helped Gma make and bottle chili sauce (I helped about 2% of the time)from all of my tomatoes.

My dad is swell also. I love being around him. He is always making me laugh! He is also always helping to better my home, even when I don't ask him! I showed him a picture of a bookshelf I wanted to build (from walmart.com), so off Jake and Dad went to the home depot. I headed off to women's conference, and when I came home it was done! Yes, yes, he's amazing. I love it!
Thanks Mom and Dad. You are wonderful parents and grandparents. I sure love and appreciate you guys... wanna move in?!

Isaac in NINE! We went bowling while my parents were here and Isaac had a few friends come too. Good times! These pics aren't the best, but it was a lot of fun! Jake won, but Gma was a close second only 2 points behind! We won't even mention what MY score was. I think Wii bowling ruined me!

Soccer Season

Grandma and grandpa got to come see Isaac's last soccer game.
Grandpa and Logan made a robot costume for Halloween!

Kailey Rose loving on Grandma.
