rearranging all our movies and cd's.

Pink Christmas ornaments...love them!

Logan loves to play on this little bed in his room from Mr & Mrs Graham.

Obsessed with opening and closing doors.

Loves climbing!

Look at all those blonde locks of hair coming in!

Mr. Bubble

One of my favorite memories from taking a bath as a kid were the BUBBLES! My mom used to buy a product called Mr. Bubble and my sister and I loved it. Anyway, my parents gave Logan a bottle of Mr. Bubble for a little Thanksgiving gift. He loves playing in the bubbles. I could not believe they still make Mr. Bubble. Heather...I am sure you are going to get a kick out of this post. I am thinking of you as I type this...hehehehe!

Gingerbread House

Let me start by saying that making our first gingerbread house was a lot of fun. However, if anyone can get there's to look even half as good as it does on the front of the box ....please fill me on your secret. We got an "A" for effort but a "D minus" for our actual decorating! It was horrible! Do you see my Logan sitting in his big boy chair? I like this chair tons better than his high chair. It is an easier clean-up after meals. Also...the last picture of Logan by the tree I think is so sweet. He has been falling asleep right there in the floor looking up at the tree a lot lately. He also likes to play with our little manger scene. Jack got me that manger scene when we were dating so it means a lot to me. Logan says "Jesus" when I show him baby Jesus in the manger. I hope everyone is getting all excited for Christmas. I got a lot of wrapping done yesterday. I was surprised that Logan did not bother me too much while I was doing that. He was preoccupied with Sprout and he also has had a cold. Poor little guy. I feel like I am constantly wiping his little runny nose. I hope he is better by Christmas and I hope Jack and I do not catch it. I also have a random eye twitch on my bottom eyelid that will not go away! It is so annoying. My eye doctor says that it is something that sometimes appears and takes days to weeks to go away. Email me at  Kristen_Williams28@hotmail.com  if you have ever experienced an ongoing eye twitch...I'd be curious if anyone else that I know has. 11 days ago Logan scratched me in my eye and broke a blood vessel. It healed within a few days but in the meantime I was really stressed about it which may have brought on this eye thing. Dr. said that the leading causes for this is fatigue (which I feel rested)..stress..and too much caffiene...(which I do not drink a lot of.) Anyway, enough of that and sorry if I've bored you...lol. It is a coooold day here in VA! Little man and I are bundled up in our pj's! We are not doing much today since Logan is under the weather. Hope you are having a great day wherever you are today and whatever you are doing!

15 months old

On this very day...Logan Michael turns 15 months old!

I have no clue where the past 15 months have gone. I still remember like yesterday my baby boy's first breaths of life. My days and nights are filled with so much love and happiness from this child. He is our world and I love him more than life itself. I do not think God plays favorites but I am almost certain he gave me the best little 15 month old ever. : ) We are so blessed with this kid. He melts my heart and always makes me smile when I need it the most.

A favorite 15 month story:

This actually happened this morning as I was feeding Logan his breakfast. I sliced up his bananas and put his sippie cup on his tray. I proceeded to grab a bowl of Cheerios for myself. I sat down at the table beside him and started to eat. Within my first bite I hear a frantic "Momma! Momma!" Of course I look over to Logan and he has his hands folded and his eyes closed ready to say grace. He knows that is what we always do before eating. Mommy forgot this morning but what a beautiful reminder from my baby! I thought that was so sweet and I will always remember that.

What Logan has been up to...

~ loves music
~ loves dancing (when music is on he will start turning in circles.)
~ climbs on everything...tables..chairs..etc
~ obsessed with typing on the computer
~ walks around with my cell phone or Jack's and "talks" on it.
~ he has tunnel vison to his grandmother when she is around. (my mom)
~ loves his milk and water from his sippie cup
~ favorite foods are peas, turkey, cheese, sweet potato
~ favorite snacks are marshmellows, lollipops, chips
~ words spoken somewhat clearly are duck, chicken, mommom, momma, dada, Jesus, Sky (for our   pet maltese,) he holds up his hand and says "Stop!"
~ folds hands to say grace.
~ When asked where dada, poppop, and mommom are he points to them right away.
~ he knows where his tummy, head, ears, and feet are.
~ raises arms up in the air when his daddy says, "touchdown!"
~ we have a trio of favorite things...must have pillow pet, paci, and blankie...(especially for naps and bedtime.)
~ We gave up the high chair and now sits at table in his booster chair.
~ favorite shows are Sesame Street, Caillou, Thomas and Friends, Wheel of Fortune, Bob the Builder, Roary the Racing Car, The Wiggles
~ loves taking everything out of my cabinets and putting it back in

This is just an idea of everything Logan likes or is into these days! He is a really busy boy and keeps me busy too!

Happy 15 months baby boy! Mommy & Daddy love you so very much!


What is everyone up to this weekend? It is a  busy one for us. Our friends Katey and Matt and their son are coming over for dinner tonight. I am stalling right now before Logan's check-up. Logan is napping right now. We are going to VA Beach in the morning to do some Christmas shopping. Jack's CG Christmas party is tomorrow night. Busy weekend but looking forward to all our plans.

Happy Friday! Have a safe and fun weekend!

Logan with his paci and blankie...I am sure pillow pet is not far away! : )

So serious when watching his tv shows...hehe. : )

Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding

Our friends Katey and Matt and their son, Landon are coming over for dinner tomorrow night.This is going to be our dessert. This is a no bake and easy recipie that I learned from my husband's side of the family. I love the way this looks and tastes. Try it!

Ingridients:

2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Cookies
6-8 bananas sliced
2 small boxes instant french vanilla pudding
1 8 oz package cream cheese
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 12 oz container whipped topping thawed

Directions:

Line the bottom of a 19 by 9 dish with one bag of cookies and layer sliced bananas on top.

In a bowl combine milk and pudding mix and blend well using handheld electric mixer.

Using another bowl, combine cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and then cover the top with the remaining cookies.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

* I always prepare this dessert the night before I am going to serve it. This will soften the cookies up which I think makes it better.

Last Christmas

Here are a few pictures of Logan from Christmas 09. It is hard to believe he was so small. It was a lot easier to take pictures of him then. He couldn't run away from me like he does now! haha! The picture of Logan next to our tree cracks me up. He is so tiny! One day he will be almost as tall as our Christmas tree. My child lived in that Santa hat last year during the holidays. I LOVED it.
