Logan's Baseball Birthday

We held Logan's 1st birthday party on Saturday, October 6 at Boardman Park.  The park is awesome with a wonderful Toddler land and big kid park.  The party was a baseball theme.  We expected to have about 65 people, unfortunately it was a cooler day - 50-55 - so we only ended up with 43 people.  

His Invites

We had everyone bring a side dish.  We provided drinks, cake, nachos and hot dogs.  We also had a snack area set up with popcorn, peanus, cracker jacks and sunflower seeds.  And, because it was a chilly day, Aunti Amy brought Hot Chocolate!

A few of the kiddos enjoying the day:

Misc. Pictures That Needed Posting

Okay, this post is completely random - pictures that I've been wanting to share, but didn't have another post to put them in. 

This is an old one from July, from an evening with Jecca watching the kids.  I love when she babysits, because I get pics texted to me to let me know how the kids are doing!

Our annual White House Fruit Farm Fall Festival visit.  

Logan's first emergency room visit was Friday 9/28.  He fell and hit his forehead on the fireplace.  After we had our next door neighbor who is a nurse take a look, it was decided he needed to go in.  They were able to glue it shut luckily....no stitches! 

Let me just say that the girls are LOVING Awana's!  Last week was crazy hair day.  Hailey wasn't feeling good and didn't participate/attend.  Kaelin on the other hand LOVED it!

This is a picture from today.  While I was swapping the laundry, Logan climbed up on the doll's highchair to hang out.  Of course, before I moved him down to safety I took a picture for proof of his climbing ability! 

Our son is 1...

A year has gone by, in what seems like a moment.  I seriously can't believe it.  Our baby is walking, feeding himself (finger foods), and in general getting into everything. :)  He is very curious...likes to get in cabinets, be involved in whatever K and H are doing, and always climbing on everything he can!  He has a grin that he thinks can get him out of any trouble.  OH, and he doesn't want to stay still for more than 2 seconds at a time!

His 1 year hand print.  Both of the girls have these frames as well. 

mmmm Birthday Lasagna.

What is going on? He was so confused!

He did NOT want to eat it with his hands but he LOVED to try with a fork.

Ok, fork down, time to dig in.

This is the magnet Jecca made for Logan's party favor.  Turned out SO AWESOME!

2012 Fall Field Trips!

Kaelin and I went on her field trip last week to a local nature center and mill.  She had so much fun, and was able to spend a lot of time with her friend Emma from 2 doors down.

Emma and K

 Using those arm muscles, learning what a mill does, and why it's better than manual grinding.

 Emma and K looking at the water fall that fields the mill's water wheel.

 Feeling the weight of a full water bucket versus an empty one. 

The Friday before Kaelin's trip was Hailey's FIRST Field Trip!  We went to a local farm to learn about pumpkin farming, feed a few animals, take a wagon ride and pick a pumpkin!  We were able to take Logan and Jecca with us.
