Logan's First Attempt at Ice Skating!!

Logan finally got to try ice skating this past weekend!! The mall here has a rink in the middle of it...and every time we go there, he asks to skate. I have NEVER skated in my life. So, I couldn't show him how if I wanted to. The long weekend seemed like the perfect time to go and try!! So, Matt and Logan got their skates on and off they went. Logan held on to Matt for most of the time, but he did very well. I was very proud of him because he never gave up. He was starting to get the hang of it towards the end...but he still needs a little more practice before he tries out for the NHL!!!

Good-bye Hazy

Today is one of the hardest days ever. Today we say good-bye to the best dog anyone could ever ask for. Hazy has a degenerative spine disease that has left her with little control of her hind legs. She has really been such a wonderful dog to us. She has been a part of our family since the minute we met her. Hazy loves being where we are at all times and I can remember being annoyed by that.....I'd give anything to keep her right next to me now. Logan has taken it pretty well, but then again they never really bonded. Hazy wants to please Matt and I so much and be with us, that she sometimes ignored Logan. Lincoln on the other hand has really become close to her. The two of them spend the day touching fourheads just to say hi. He will surely miss having her around.

When she closes her eyes, I hope that she knows how great of a dog she is and that we all love her very much.

Water Play

My boys LOVE water!! Now that it is 90 degrees most days....it is back outside to play with the hose for the Kmon family!! Lincoln is just like Logan as far as the hose is concerned. They both love to spray it at nothing and everything. One thing that Lincoln does that Logan never did and still doesn't do....turn the hose on himself!! He will point it up in the air over his head and then squeel and run when it lands on him! It is very funny to watch. Of course, they both run through the sprinkler!! They even get Matt and I to run through with them. Water gives us hours of entertainment...and in Alabama, we need it!!

T-Ball

So, T-Ball season is in full swing..(no pun intended....okay, maybe a little!!) Logan is really doing well this year. His fielding is surprisingly good! He just puts his glove down there and stops the ball no problem! He is hitting the heck out of the ball too. We are working on getting his throwing in line with the rest of his skills!! He likes it though and that is what really matters. Matt is coaching this year, so Logan feels all important as the coaches kid. It has been fun to watch him get better and better at sports.

Easter

Well...another Easter at another house!! It is always fun for Logan to hunt because the house is different so he never knows where the eggs or the basket are going to be!! We went to an Easter Egg Hunt on base the Saturday before Easter which was o.k. Then Easter morning the boys got to hunt for their baskets and the eggs that the Easter bunny hid for them outside. Logan, of course, had a great time searching. Lincoln didn't get it at first, but caught right on and found 3 eggs for his basket. Granted they were sitting out in the open, but still...he's one!! So...it was a nice Easter in the end. We rounded the day out with a nice dinner. I made ham, potatoes and corn. Traditional for us!!

Another tooth gone!

Logan lost his other front tooth!!! We went out to dinner at Logan's Roadhouse tonight and while we were eating I noticed blood on his tooth. I told him that his tooth must be ready. He told me that it wasn't and I said O.K. I left it at that...the next thing I know he just grabbed it and pulled!! He held it out to me and said "Here you go Mom!" So of course all night he has been playing with the whole...GROSS! Our Tooth Fairy is very generous and Logan loves money....I think he would pull out all his teeth if it meant he would get paid!! The other front tooth is already peeking through so he is bound to look pretty cool in a few weeks!!

Alfalfa

This is Logan's Alfalfa look!! although he has no idea who that is!! It started with pulling his pants up to look silly and he had just gotten out of the bath so I spiked up that piece of hair!! Then Matt added his ugly military issued glasses and...voila! This will surely come back to haunt Logan someday....maybe Senior Prom!
