Happy Anniversary!

8 years ago today I married my best friend. Life has been full of ups and downs, but what counts is that there have been more ups than downs :) Happy Anniversay Marc!

Trip To The Zoo

So something really cool happened when we spent the day at the zoo. We were looking at the penguins and the zoo keeper came up to Logan and asked him if he would like to feed the penguins. His eyes lit up and he shouted "yes pelase". I was shocked. This is not a everyday thing! The zoo keeper took us back in the small room. He pulled out a bucket that was filled with fish and a clip board. He showed Logan how to feed the fish to the penguins by holding them in the middle and handing the fish to them head first. He then told Logan that while Logan fed the penguins he was going to write down on the clip board how much each penguine ate. All penguins are labled on their legs with their names. The zoo keeper opened this little blue door and all of the penguins came running up to Logan. He sat there and fed all of the penguins their fish. The zoo keeper then gave him a mini tour of the kennels that the penguins sleep in. He let him stand partially in the exibit to feel the temperature. They are African penguins, so the temp was the same as it was in the room. It was an AMAZING experience and of course Logan can't stop talking about it!!!

Dream Dinner's

It is so funny that I am even writing this. For the past 3 months Marc has been going to Dream Dinners www.dreamdinners.com with me to prepare our meals for the month. We went last night and had a blast. It is so fun making the ingredients together. He takes it so seriously. We had a blast last night and can't wait till next month :)

Golfing With Daddy

Logan LOVES to go golfing with Daddy and Marc LOVES to take him. They go all the time and I have joined a few times. It is GREAT family fun. Logan is actually really good. He makes it in the whole most of the time and when he does not he pouts about it lol. Here is our little golfer...........

Back to the Beach................

I am so excited to write this post!!! Marc's Uncle passed away in July. His house was left to his mom and aunt. They are unable to keep the house due to it being so far away and the up keep. The house is in Ft Myers FL beach. They are planning to put the house on the market next year. Marc and I decided that we should take another vacation out there since we love that place so much and we have a place to stay!! We got on priceline last night and got our plane tickets for the end of September, so back to the beach we go!!! I can't wait and of course Logan is sooooooo excited!!

Logan's Friend Xander

I know this is silly to be weepy about but I honestly did get weepy...............back when Logan was in soccer he made a friend named Xander. He would always talk about him and call him his "best friend". After soccer we started T-ball and Xander and Logan were on the same team. Xander invited Logan to his 4th birthday party. Logan was sooooo excited. When I saw Logan opening the invitation to his party, I seriously teared up. yes Logan has friends that he adores. I guess what I teared up about is that this is his first friend that he made on his own and that we did not know the parents beforehand. This is his first friend that he made. I know that sounds really silly, but all of the friends that Logan had (which he loves) are kids of our friends. We went to Xander's birthday party on Sunday and Marc and I were actually a little nervous because we did not know ANYONE (except Xander's wonderful parents) there. Everyone was really nice and Logan had a BLAST playing with all his new friends. Xander and his family live really close to us and are member of the YMCA so we will be getting together more. heck they may even go to pre-school together :) I dont know what it made me tear up but I feel like we have reached the age where he starts making friends and it makes me sad that he is not little anymore. However that being said, this is an AMAZING age and I love all the the milestones he is making. So, here is to more friends and more memories that come along and make me cry :) I will post pictures from T-ball with Logan and Xander and a couple of the birthday party.

Goodbye Uncle John

We received a call from Florida on July 2 that Marc's Uncle John passed away in his sleep. He had not been to work in 2 days and the hotel where he worked at for 25 years sent a police officer to the house to check and they found him in bed. It was extremely devistating to our family since we were just there 2 months ago visiting him and had a amazing trip. To that, we are thankful. He lived a great life and took care of his mother until 3 years ago when she passed away. I am gld to have known him and to have spent time with him. He was such a great son, brother and uncle. He will truely be missed. Marc flew to Florida on July 7 and came home july 12. We decided not to make Logan make the trip because it would not be very much fun for him. Alot of sitting around and taking care of things. I took the week off of work and spent time with Logan. The funeral was nice and Marc got to meet up with some family members. His mom stayed in Florida to take care of some legal issues. To our surprise, Marc was left in charge of just about everything down there and will have to make other trips to discuss legal issues. We miss you Uncle John!!!!
