sorry for the post overload. i have a bad habit of compiling new posts in blogger and then never posting them. so i went through and posted a bunch that had been just sitting there. enjoy!

easter

we had a good easter this year. it was nice to stay home for conference and enjoy the day together as a family. logan was so excited that the easter bunny was coming to his house! the easter bunny brought the kids some jammies (you can always use new jammies), a few toys, and some candy. he also got a steal on the toy story movies (thanks mandi) and logan loved those! i think allison had a good time too!

photo fun

this is my attempt to take pictures of the kids before church. i know that it is a lot of pictures, but i thought one should see the entire series to get the full effect of how it went!

happy dirtday logan

logan turned three on march 16! i can't believe how much he has grown and how big he is. he is so much fun to have around and i am so proud to be his mom!

here he is on his birthday morning. we gave him this shirt so he had a present to open on the morning of his birthday. we went to his gymnastics class in the morning and then went to

chick-fil-a for lunch. then we went home and made some cupcakes to take to chuck e. cheese for dinner. he has been asking to go to chuck e. cheese for his "dirtday" for weeks!

he was so excited!

happy dirtday logan! we love you!

houston

in the beginning of march we took a family trip to houston, tx and visited dan's great aunt gail. we had a great time exploring houston and galveston and then we were able to go the houston rodeo thanks to aunt gail!

for the first couple of days we went down to galveston and stayed for two nights. while we were there we went to the beach but the weather was cold so we didn't go in the water. the next day we went to the nasa space center and played with the kids there. then we went back to hotel and went swimming- in the rain! our last day in galveston we went on the bolivar ferry which logan loved. he thought it was great that we took our car on a boat.

when we were back in houston we went to the rodeo for two nights and saw alan jackson and kenny chesney perform. the third night we took the kids to the rodeo but didn't stay for the concert. during the day we went to the midway games and logan had fun in the petting zoo and riding the rides. he also went mutton bustin' and did great. he was so excited to ride the sheep but when he fell of it stepped on his leg. for the rest of the day if you asked him if he rode a sheep he would say, "yeah mama, that sheep hurted me." but by the next day he was so proud that he rode a sheep and said that he wanted to do it again!

we also went to the downtown aquarium. logan loved looking at the tiger, petting the sting rays and riding the train to look at the sharks. gail gave us a great tour of houston and took us to the water wall and hermann park.

we had such a great time and can't wait to go back someday!
