I can't get enough of her, so I figure you can't either so here is another really cute one of her!

Logan LOVES her kitty, Oliver! She loves to carry him around wherever she goes. She usually does pretty well, but sometimes he wriggles and she loses her grip, but won't let go, so we end up with an intervention situation. :) He is a good, patient kitty.
Needing an intervention. . .
Can I tell you how much I love this little face?! She is seriously our light and our sunshine! We LOVE her SOOO MUCH!!!
Wouldn't you? I mean, look at that!!! And it's a scratch on her nose from a fall. NOT a bloody nose! :)

Okay, so my brother and his wife were here for about ten days or so and we did some pretty fun things. One thing I have been DYING to do since we moved here was to find out how to get down to this beach that I had seen from a distance a whole bunch of seals out sun bathing. Well, we did it! We are literally like less than 100 feet away from these seals on this beach! It was so much fun. We are not sure if it was legal to go down there, no one else was on that beach. But I think it's just cuz it's SUPER hard to get to! It's quite a hike down and around the beach. Logan actually fell asleep in my arms. That was a WORKOUT!!! But it was all totally WORTH IT beacuse LOOK!! There are SEALS right there!!! They had their cute eyes on us the whole time! We thought they were planning our ambush attack from the water behind, but we survived. Phwew!! Anyway, we LOVE NEWPORT!

I think I am going to try this recipe I found. I will let you know how it turns out. . .

Did I mention. . .

I'm a bit taken back. I put my baby in a big girl bed yesterday. Well, I'm a bit late because last night was her first night in her big girl bed. But I still count her age in months. Three hands and one finger. That's not enough for a big bed is it? I don't know what I was thinking but all I know is that we'd better fill the crib back up soon or I might have a relapse! I don't know what I will be relapsing, seeing as I have never really -lapsed- before, but I thought relapse would be a fun word. I think I will go ahead and put her in her crib tonight. . . Just teasing. She is my little adult baby. I don't know where the time has gone. I waited my whole life to be a mom and to have a baby and now my baby is an adult. Sort of. Compared to when she was born, yeah!! Gosh. I'm having a hard time with this. I need another one. Shhhh. . .don't tell Adam! He thinks I'm silly. Oh well. Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know about our recent advancement. Sad, but true! We love her so much!!!! That's not sad, but what I blogged about. Not really sad, nostalgic? I'm going now. :)

SOMEDAY, she'll be a famous pianist or a high school science teacher. She'll settle down, marry, have a couple of kids. Maybe she won't.

SOMEDAY, she'll help millions of people all over the world. Or maybe she'll travel, send letters from Africa or phone you from Rome.

SOMEDAY, she'll be a strong, confident women......but you'll always remember the first time you held her in your arms.

SOMEDAY, she'll have her own hopes and dreams, not knowing that once upon a quiet time, you closed your eyes and dreamed to have her in your life.- Hallmark

HAPPY LATE FATHER'S TO THE WORLD'S GREATEST DADDY! -LolaBug

This is Adam with the rest of the guys in the Colorguard here. I LOVE it!

This was us that day Adam marched in the parade. I was so stinking proud!!!! I just love seeing him doing stuff like that!

TEETH!!!! YAY! Do you see those two cute little teeth my Lola has on the bottom row? They are about to have company!!! We have been waiting SO LONG for her to get more teeth! The other night she WAS NOT sleeping at all and I was so confused. She usually wakes up a few times at night, yeah, but this night she was up for like hours and I couldn't get her back to sleep without holding her and rocking her. She has only teethed once in her life, so it wasn't the first thing I thought of. Until the next morning when she was chewing on something and it came to me! I looked at her gums and sure enough! Her two big front top teeth are making their slow descent into functionality! We are very proud of her! And finally yesterday, they BROKE THROUGH!!! WAHOO! So, I had to take a picture of her cute smile now and I will post one later with more teeth!

Her new thing is to climb on this little table. She gets up really well but then she can't get down! It's so cute!

Okay, so I am going to put a whole bunch of pictures on here of Logan. She is so much fun that I have to share her with everyone! And people have been asking for updates and it's been a while since I've put new pictures up of her! And she's the star of our show! We love her so much!!! Come back often cuz we will have many more to show!

Okay, so I have been called as the Primary Secretary in our ward here in Oregon. I'm super excited because the rest of the presidency is made of a lot of the women I have already met and have become friends with. So that makes it nice. Anyway, today I went in to kind of figure out what I was doing and try to learn the kids names for the roll and such. Shouldn't be super hard, I'm pretty good with names and there aren't tons of kids in our ward. So, Im trying to talk to the first counselor and Logan is squirming everywhere all over my lap. The horror begins. Do I let her off my lap to run wild in the primary room and become on of those mothers I can't handle? Do I hold her on my lap and continue grunting as the sister and I chat and Logan steps on my full bladder? What do I do? So I let her down for a few minutes. That quickly became totally pointless because then I kept having to go return other kids' shoes she had brought to me and put on my lap. Anyhow, the sister I was chatting with went to the nursery room to take roll while I "held down the fort." She wanted to leave me with a task, can you tell? :) When she came back a few minutes later, she whispered in my ear, "They only have 3 kids in nursery today and said that you are more than welcome to take her in there if you would like." I don't think I let her finish her sentence before I was scooping up Logan and heading to the nursery. I have been DYING to take her to the nursery because she is SOOOOO wriggly and non-stop all through church. I often wonder why I bother getting ready and going to church in the first place sometimes! So, she walked right in and started playing with the kids and toys, which I knew she would do. I walked right out and back to the primary room and I think I may have had a slight bounce in my step... It was a great moment. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Logan, but she is exhausting and I love it when either Adam is watching her (who by the way was on duty today and not just slacking on his fatherly duties:)) or I can let her play and not worry about being a mom who just lets her kids do whatever and doesn't watch. Oh, I love nursery. I may have to send her back next week. I might even start getting up earlier on Sundays and looking even better because now I know it may not be in vain! Maybe I'll even wait to have two. . .JUST TEASING!!! Anyway, I had to blog about that. Enjoy your Sunday folks. Oh, yeah, she is asleep. I think I may go take a nap. I hope your Sunday is as restful as mine!

So, Adam did the COOLEST thing today! I was so proud of him. He was in a parade. I know that seems kinda silly but I seriously cried the whole time I watched him coming down the street. Do any of you other military wives know what I'm talking about? It just makes everything so worth it to see him doing the simple thing he did today. It's sorta corny. Sorry! Here ya go. . . It's a video. . .

This is one of our newest family pictures. Also taken by Jamie! We love our little family!

These are a few more of her one year pictures. We are very proud of our little Logan. She is so much fun! She is talking so much! It's fun to have her come running up to me and rattle off something to me in her language and be so serious about it. She is definitely talking about something super important. She points at stuff that she is talking about. We never have a quiet dinner, or any meal! It's so much fun having her around! She is the best little thing ever!!!! We love you Lola Bear!

She was so stinking cute! I love these pictures so much!

Logan turns one!!! Hi friends! It has been quite a while since I have put an actual update on here with pictures and everything. I feel a little out of sorts, it's weird. But it's nice to be back in touch! This is one of my favorite pictures of our little Logan! We had our super awesome sister in law, Jamie, take Logan's one year old pictures and she did a great job!!! I hope you enjoy them because I always do!!!

Hi!! Sorry, I had to delete that last post. As I thought about all I had written in there, I was kinda starting to get freaked out about who might see it. Anyway, I hope all of you whom I want to see it saw it, and those of you whom I don't want seeing it, like crazy people, didn't see it. Anyway, friends and family, we've made it! We love it here and it is so beautiful!!! More updates and pictures soon!

Hey!!! Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged! It's been crazy around our house! As I'm sure it has been with everybody! Our computer was down for awhile so I couldn't blog, and now we can't figure out how to upload pictures on this machine! Uh oh! So, I will get pictures on as soon as possible! But we're still here!!!!

Okay, so we got Logan this cute little chair that has a table next to it that has all different learning settings on it. I used to love it, now it makes me sad because once we took it out of the box we discovered that she can sit at it! She looks so big I can hardly stand it! Where's my baby!?

I love this picture of Logan and Adam. She is so much fun and adores her Daddy almost as much as he adores his little Lola!


This is a cute one along with one of my favorite pictures of Logan and her beloved Daddy. They are great buddys!

So, I'm finally able to get a little tiny ponytail, thing on the very top of my Logan's head! It looks sooo cute! I love it! We were trying to get good pictures of it and were having a hard time. Anyway, maybe you can kinda see it. It's cute-trust me!
