Logan turned 2 on September 20th. We had a small BBQ in the backyard where we invited my two aunts and uncles who live close by and then Logan had his best friend Zack over too. They had fun even though it was a hot day.
Since Herbie was diagnosed with Diabetes we have been trying to change our eating habits (notice the word try :) ) and so I decided to do cupcakes that had a reduced sugar cake mix. It didn't taste any different to me :)
We had a blast celebrating his birthday and am still amazed that he is two.
A couple of days after his birthday he wanted some cheetos. Instead of asking he grabbed the bag and was bringing them to me and slipped....even though i was upset I HAD to take the picture. I mean who wouldn't?? :)
On Columbus Day we were fortunate enough to have the time to go to the local Pumpkin Patch. Mom was off that day and since its free admission and free parking during the weekday we thought it would be perfect! It was! There were barely anyone there and so it was alot more laid back then the day we went the year before. As you can tell he found his perfect pumpkin. Although he would have rather stayed on the train then anything else.
A couple of months ago Herbie and I purchased tickets to see our favorite group in concert: Rascal Flatts. I was excited to go and we decided to take the motorcycle up to Clearlake since mom was going to watch Logan for us. It was the first time we were away from Logan for two nights but it was definitely relaxing and wonderful. The weather decided to turn on us and rain most of the time on the way back home and lets just say i was glad mom had made a fire. :) The concert was wonderful just like the year before although we had a group of drunk women in front of us that made it a little less enjoyable...
For Halloween Logan was a Caterpillar and loved every minute of it. We went to the Luna's again this year and he had a blast going from house to house. A couple of times he almost left us behind so he could get to the next house. I have been dealing with a tear in my achillies tendon so the doctor put me in a cast. I was being wheeled around in a wheelchair but it made it easier to tote a tired toddler around to the next house to get his next candy :)
Thanksgiving this year was our definite tradition of going to Gridley to eat with Herbie's extended family and then to my Aunt and Uncle's house to eat the next dinner with them.
The day after Thanksgiving since we didn't go out to any sales (which I never do anyway-and herbie was working) we decided to decorate for Christmas and put up the tree while Logan was napping. He woke up and came out and saw all the lights and just kept saying "lights! Christmas!! lights!!" and ran around the house (we had lights up in the kitchen too) for about 20 minutes saying it.
Because of traffic and the amount of stuff on his load Herbie had to layover on Friday night so we didn't put ornaments on the tree until Herbie got home saturday night. It didn't last long. We got about 5 or 6 ornaments in and Logan decided that he wanted to be the supervisor and I would be the one putting the ornaments on. So funny. He did like this years ornament though. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse :).
This past week we took Logan on his first fishing trip with his PaPap. He lasted on the boat from 9am to 1pm. He had alot of fun "fishing" (they were salmon fishing so it was more of a sit and wait kind of fishing-Logan was just holding on to the poles which were in the pole holders). He entertained us all and soon he was ready to go home and sleep. He almost fell asleep on the way home....Herbie stayed on the boat with my uncle George and they caught an 18lb salmon which was as long as Logan is tall. so amazing.
I wanted to do Christmas pictures and although I don't feel this is the best of "me" persay I love Logan and Herbie in this picture. I hope all is well with all of you who are reading this and Merry Christmas!
