Ranger Game with Pops

Logan got to go to the Ranger Game this week with Daddy and Pops. In the first inning Josh Hamilton hit a homerun...which meant fireworks...Logan hates the sound of fireworks and is going through some crazy sound sensitivity right now...so this is how he spent the rest of the game. Jarrod finally convinced him in the 5th inning that when the Yankees were batting there wouldn't be any fireworks.

Caden's Birthday Party

Logan's friend Caden had his birthday party at Howard Moore Park in Arlington. The water was no deeper than 1 1/2 feet and it was basically a playground in a shallow pool. It was a GREAT place for a birthday party and made me wish that we could do Logan's there as well...we'll have to settle for something more "fallish" though! It was honestly one of the best little kid parties we've been to. Thanks, Caden for inviting us!!

We LOVE Sour Cream!

Our Little Golfer

Jarrod went to San Diego for a week the next to last week in July. While he was there, he went to Torrey Pines to look around and got Logan a golf ball. So, when Logan got his ball, he immediately wanted to play golf. We kind of looked at each other and I was like, okay go get one of my clubs for him to play with...neither of us thought of the fact that Logan's a leftie, but we were able to improvise and he just turned my club around. He has his own plastic clubs that he's always used and he loves them, but we were amazed at how well he played with the "real" club and balls. He hit the ball 80% of the time and he was hitting to the fence (in our half an acre yard!) We're constantly amazed at the little athlete we have. Pops came over last week and watched him play. This week, he brought Logan a youth leftie club--thank you, Pops!!!

Baby Shower

My friends at church hosted a wonderful baby shower July 20 at my friend Ashley's house. It was a wonderful, productive weekend! My aunt Mendy was in town that weekend for a visit and she helped nudge me to get the nursery 98% done...it was such a great visit with her!!! Logan was adorable with her--if only I had gotten pictures of the 100 books he made her read to him over the weekend. She retired this year from teaching elementary school and I think Logan knows a great story reader when he finds one!!! Aunt Mendy didn't get to stay for the shower, but I wanted to post a few photos of the shower...I'll post the nursery pictures soon...

I had to post this so that you can see how skinny my mom is getting!! Doesn't she look great!!!

I love this picture of Raegan with me!!!

Coleman's and Oliverio's Visit

The Coleman's and Oliverio's came over to watch the All Star Game in July when they were in town for a teacher conference! What a nice surprise to get to see them! It was so fun to see the kids together!

Gabe Spends the Night

Logan had Gabe spend the night in early July. It was so much fun for all of us. We met at Chick-Fil-A and let the boys play, brought them home to play, settled down to a little bit of a movie and then put the boys to bed. Gabe did great--he cried a little at bedtime and we realized later it was because I didn't know that he's allowed to sleep with a car in his hand at home and I wouldn't let him sleep with one for fear that the boys would spend the night "racing". Oops! What a great first sleepover!
