Our New Pet!

This totally grosses me out so I have to hurry and post something else. I just HAD to share how huge our black widow is that the girls found. When can we move? Michael was actually mad that we killed it. He has a little tub he keeps these spiders in. The one that is in there now has eaten several crickets and has spun or laid (whatever they do) and egg sac. He is waiting for them to hatch.


SO GROSS!!!!!!!!!

Back up for Business

After our trampoline tragedy we were so sad to have our new trampoline ruined. We were lucky enough to have property insurance that covered it and then some!! So, we actually were able to get a bigger and better trampoline. We just had to convince Michael to set another one up.

So now we have 2 trampolines in our yard. Anyone want the parts form our old one?

Here Comes Trouble

Our friends brought Logan this cute little fire truck to ride on...and he loves it. I found him after his bath, eating a sucker and chillin' on his toy. He is so funny.

Look What Logan Learned To do!!!

This is now his favorite thing to do!

Logan is definitely getting into way more. He took his first steps yesterday...we are in for it!

The Owl Craze!

While I was at my sister's a few weeks ago we decided to make a zillion owls. I wanted a few Valentine owls, a few for gifts, and I made some pink and brown ones to go in Mallory's room. We went a little over board...I think we made 30 or more. When I took these pictures I hadn't finished the eyes and beaks. They are so cute!

Our favorite was the snowy owl we made. He still needs a beak too.

These are for Mallory's room. I still need to spray paint a shelf (I got at a garage sale for $2) brown to put them on. I think I will do that today.

These owls are a little more involved than the owls we made in October. They have super cute wings sewn on.

It wasn't too hard to make things a complete disaster.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love Valentine's day...it is something to look forward to after Christmas, and a boring January. We had to speak in church...so it wasn't the best day ever. We had a super busy week and were just flat out exhausted. I have to simplify my life...I need to hang my big simplify sign back up maybe! We still managed to have a fun day and eat lots of chocolate covered strawberries that were delish!

I found this darling vase at the Goodwill here. I could not pass it up.

My Little Boy

Logan looked so cute today I just had to do a little photo shoot while we were at Mallory's soccer practice. It does look like we are camping however. He had his little camper shirt on that I got at the Children's Orchard for $3. Love that store. He is also 17 months old today. He is growing into a little toddler boy and I can't stand it. One more month and he can go into nursery...if he can walk by then. We have upped the walking lessons quite a bit.

Logan raises his hands up high when I say,"How big is Logan" Too cute.

CHOPPED

...is what the hair cutter lady did to Mallory's hair. I told her just above the shoulders, not above the chin. However, she looks adorable with her hair short and she loves that she looks like her American Girl doll, Kit.
