It's Still Snowing

When Dad got home it was still snowing! Dad said it was his duty to go out and make a snow man. At first Logan did not want to go out. I talked to him about it and he knew Dad was making a snow man. I asked him and he told me all about it but he still didnt want to go out. He wanted to wear his fishing hat. So he watched from the window...

I finally talked him into putting on his hat and coat and going out. The next problem was he had to have boots like Dad. Well, Logan doesn't own any boots except his rain boots. Imagine that! The last time we tried the frog rain boots he screamed - but not today!! Today he was all about them. Out he went. He was hesitant at first ... He wasn't quite sure how to walk in his rain boots or how to walk in them in the snow.

Here he is testing out walking in his boots in the snow. Soooo cute!


Yeah, a snow man!

Mr. Snow man has eyes and a nose made of Logan's plastic golf balls, Moxie's frisbie as a hat, and Logan's golf clubs as arms and a mouth.


Now Dad will teach Logan to throw snow balls at Mom.

Okay Daddy I can do it!


It's real cute at this age!

Now I shall teach you to eat snow. At first Logan wasn't so sure snow would be tasty and he wanted Dad to hold it.
Then he got the hang of it
and he liked it.
Not one snow man for you Logan but TWO! Because you are TWO!!Oh no, then he brought the snow ball into the house!

Presents From Grandma Keck!

Logan now understands presents and when a box comes he gets excited. Grandma Keck sent a box and here he is digging in!
He had soo much fun checking everything out. First he liked the lizard light best, then he liked the binoculars best, lastly he decided he liked the blob (silly putty) and really liked to say "blob". Thank you Grandma for making his day.


Here is Dad checking out all the kids loot. We read Logan the garden book that night before bed and he really liked looking at all the veggies. Hopefully soon he will look at them grow live in the garden.


Monkey see Monkey do. We had to read the tractor book right away of course! Logan loved Shane's tractor onesie, he wanted to put it on. Luckily, he was easily distracted from all the cool stuff. Grandma Rules! Here Logan holds the blob, looks through the binoculars and is srrounded by the lizard light and books. Life is sweet.


Baby Gadgets Everywhere





Okay Okay here are a bunch of photos for you. I am still so in love with the cute little hands.
Logan sitting in one of the baby chairs (it is red and black) and resting his head on his bean bag chair. He is getting to be so smart and crafty. He is probably already hoping for a recliner. Oh yeah and he appears to giving his Dad a loving kick.


Here is Logan enjoying all the baby gadgets around the house again. He is sitting in a baby cahir batting at what I call the cat toy on it.




Logan does not like to be given small bites of things anymore. He will repeat over and over and over "big one, big one" until you relent and give over the big one. Of course "big one" sounds something like "biggun".


Well since it is a snow day and we were cooped up inside I decided to snap some photos. Ha ha ha who am I kidding? I snap photos almost every day. Any way here are some cute ones.



















I brought out yet another baby gadget today. Now that Shane is looking all around I thought he might enjoy it. Big brother checked it out first to make sure it was safe and fun.












Here is Shane enjoying a baby gadget. He is just now starting to look at things and enjoy them.
A close up of Mr. Big Cheeks. It is weird to have a nearly bald baby. His hair is coming back pretty slow. So far it looks light brown. He definitely has a lighter complexion than Logan.



Here is Shane checking out all the neat things on his swing while he rides. He is just now starting to look around while he swings.































Snow Day

Today is a snow day! 80 early in the week, now snow. I took Logan outside to check it out but he wasn't sure what to do. I made snow balls and he didn't seem to want any part of that except to watch me freeze my hands off making them and throwing them. We will see what Dad can get him to do when he gets home. Rumor has it he is going to get off early today. For those of you who have already been here you can see the house across the street went up fast!!!



I hope the new bushes don't freeze. Tim brought in some seeds this morning in an attempt to spare them from the freeze. Sadly a lot of them have already died.

Still snowing later in the afternoon. View of the back yard.


Baby Shane all bundled up.

A Photo Opportunity

Shane got dressed today so I thought I would take some photos of him. Today it seems Logan wanted to get in on the photo op. He hasn't wanted his photo taken in months. How nice!






I took these mainly because Logan was so willing and so you could see how big Shane is getting in comparison to his chair.

Here is Shane all dressed up in his Mommy outfit. So many onesies for boys say Dad on them it really makes me appreciate this one :)
In some lighting Shane's hair looks reddish but we are pretty sure it will not be red. So far it looks like a light brown. He has very very fair skin.



A Planting They Will Go

Tim and Logan planted bushes in the front today. The weather went from the high 70s back to the 60s. Of course, there is a lot of wind.

Logan brought a worm in to show Mommy. Tim planted bulbs in the front a few weeks ago and there are some starting to sprout. Logan enjoys looking at them. Today he saw one that is just peaking through and said "pink one". He was close, it is a light purple.

One Super Cool Dude

The weather has be warm and windy. I think it is the Covis way. So we have been taking the huge double stroller out and about.

Logan does not like to go out without a hat. It will be in the 70s and he will want to wear his hat. So I busted out a Vegas sun hat. I can't have him going around in the heat with a winter snow hat. He has taken to it and his shades! One month you are trying to get them to wear them and then the next month they won't leave home without them!

Watch Me Grow Grow Grow




Here are some photos of me in the last two days. I smile now!





We use the pacifier a lot with Shane, it saves the ta tas.



Little fingers are so precious.





Getting to be a chubalub. Love the cheeks. I am taking many of these photos as I am holding him...sweet silence.

The Groundhog Was Wrong

Here is Shane last week sporting some Spring colors. Here in Clovis we are having some nice temps. However, we also have crazy wind so it may be 80 but it doesnt feel like it. Here is a sour puss face.

Here is a happy face!

Here is Logan enjoying the many baby gadgets around! He loves to check them all out. If you note the fat lip he has (hard to see in this small photo) it is form the swing set! Yes, already. Although it could have happened any where. He was swinging the swing and it came back and whacked him in the lip. Youch!

Marking March

We took these photos of Shane a few minutes ago. He is 9 weeks old. We did his 2 month appt and Logan's 2 year appt at the same time. Yep, that was loads of fun. Shane weighed in at 11 lbs 1 oz and 21.5 inches. Logan weighed a huge 26.2 lbs with all his clothes on and shoes and was 35.04 inches. So far Logan is skinny and tall (not sure where he got that) and Shane is short and avg weight. TBD!
Tim went to New Orleans and all I got was this shirt :P OOPS sorry, I also got spit up on, 3-5 hours sleep a night and oh yeah I ordered my Birthday present!












Here are some photos from the wedding Tim was in in New Orleans. It is so rare he wears a tux, I got to show him off. I think this might mark the last of his close friends getting married!? Harvey (aka Craig Harvey or Chicken). You can't go by your real name whan you are a pilot!) the groom, is the one in all black. The man in the middle is Harvey's Dad. In case you don't recogize Tim with so much hair, he is the one on the left.
It looked like they had a terrible time from the photos. See if you can find Tim!
