More Firsts

I had my birthday this month and Mike gave me an awesome camera so I had to post more pictures, naturally. So here is a bizillion more pictures of the two cutest boys I know (don't be offended, I know I am biased).


This is Logan's first time sleeping in his "big boy bed". We have had a toddler bed set up in his room for quite awhile now and one day Logan decided it was time. If we put him in his crib he would simply climb out plus Campbell will need his crib soon so it was perfect timing. It is just a little toddler bed with a crib mattress in it which many people see as a waste but I like that it doesn't take up much space and it is low to the ground. The best part is, Logan is a big fan of it so we are all happy. He is so funny; he has to have his two favorite blankets, his stuffed "bob", and mini pillows to go to sleep. I wonder what we are going to do when we leave for Utah soon because there is no way that we are bringing all that stuff.

Here is cute Campbell. He is such an easy going baby. He is so easy to make smile and he even laughs now. Logan is the best at getting him to laugh. Campbell never takes his eyes off of Logan when he is around. Part of it may be that he has to brace himself from Logan's crazy whirlwind.

This is after church one Sunday but Logna wasn't cooperating. I was blocking his cartoons and bugging him while he was snacking.

He loves Baby Campbell. Campbell is constantly being poked and pinched by Logan in a loving manner.

Just because you needed to see more of Campbell's cuteness.

Campbell is now two months old and at his check up weighed 14.7lbs (97th percentile) and was 24 3/4inches (95th percentile). He is growing like a weed!

He is such a happy boy!

Leave it to me to stick him in a bucket to take pictures but isn't he so cute?

Another shot of Logan working in the kitchen.

My funny boys.

This is Logan's first art easel. We bought this whiteboard/chalkboard stand at ikea and we have had lots of fun with it.

Logan likes to give "loves" to his brother which mainly involves the squishing of this patient little baby.

One of Logan's first loves is reading books. He has a very special relationship with Leonardo the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems.

Many Firsts


First of all I have to explain the cause of our long absence, a few weeks ago our computer stopped working and we have been waiting to get a new computer until now because we wanted to be sure that we could get hooked up with the new windows that is coming out this fall. It still isn't up and running but I couldn't hold off posting these cute pictures of Logan and Campbell any longer (Mike brought home his work computer and is letting me borrow it).

A lot of new things have been happening around here and I thought that I should fill you in. . .

This is Campbell's first bath. He kept is umbilical cord for atleast a month, no joke. Needless to say, I was too excited to be able to submerge the little man in water.

Logan has become a t-ball pro and will be the first pro t-ball player in history.

Having a baby brother around means that Logan has more "free time" to get into trouble. He loves to climb onto the bathroom counter and pull everything out of the drawers and play with water in the sink.

I just liked this picture.

Campbell is so big! This is his first time wearing these old pjs of Logan's and they are already snug. Some of the clothes he is wearing are already 6-9 months (he is two months old).

This is Campbell's first trip to the zoo. I think he was a big fan.

This was his first time seeing a Lion; I think he was a little worried. Lions are scary.

After Campbell's first trip to the pool the boys were all tuckered out.

This is Logan's first kitchen. It's a Melissa and Doug kitchen and we love it. Logan spends a lot of time cooking us all kinds of pretend deliciousness.

This is Campbell with Grandpa Paul at the pool for the first time.

This is the first time Logan has watched baseball on TV. Have I mentioned that he is obsessed with baseball? He was commentating the whole time, it was hilarious! On the commercial breaks he would ask for more baseball. He carries his bat or a baseball almost everywhere he goes.

More baseball.

This is probably the first time that many of you have seen Logan with straight hair (well, that is as straight as it gets). Logan loves to play in the water. This was our first time to the Waco water park this summer.

Pictures of the Boys

Logan had his pictures taken last fall by Nicole Berrett and we loved them so much that we had her do it again. This time they are of both our boys, we have two kids, Ahh (it is still weird to me that I am the mother of kids, plural)! Check out the sneak peek on her blog.

How We've Spent our Time

Here are several pictures to show what we've been up to.

This is Logan with his Buzz Lightyear kite. Mike bought it for him and they have had fun flying it together.

To keep Logan busy during General Conference we made him a fort out of box that he colored on for an entire session. He got hungry in the middle of making his masterpiece and decided to try his special crayola crayons, yum!

A few days before Cambell arrived we made it out to the zoo with friends. It was a beautiful day.

Logan loved how close the jaguar was and kept giving him "five".

The blue bonnets were beautiful this year so we had to get Logan's picture taken with some.

This is Logan at an Easter Egg hunt in the park with friends. He had so much fun running around finding eggs to put in his basket. He didn't put that basket down for the next couple of days.

Here is the whole family. Logan is making a great face isn't he?

The Easter Bunny brought him a Woody doll in his basket.



Here are my boys in the hospital. Logan kept asking, "Hold It?"

This is the first time Mike held Campbell.

We love our new jogging stroller. The Bob Revolution is awesome! Even Logan really like it. We enjoying going on walks around the neighborhood. This is Campbell's first walk. My Mom came and stayed for a week. She got here Tuesday night and I had Campbell Thursday morning at 4:26 so we didn't even have time to play. I am so grateful that she came. I couldn't have done it without her. She coached my Lamaze breathing, took care of Logan, made meals, cleaned, made a blanket for Campbell, and helped with whatever else needed to be done. It was nice to have the extra support and encouragement. Thanks Mom!

Logan could do this all day everyday.

Before the baby arrived Logan and I would go somewhere everyday. We would go to the museum, zoo, park, library, a friend's house, or just run errands but now we are sort of stuck. It is just too hard at this point to take them both somewhere and Campbell is still too small to spend much time in public plus the swine flu is going around not to mention I am still exhausted. The point is, we get bored around here and have to get creative. Any new ideas are so welcome. This is Logan coloring anything and everything with chalk. We have pebble side walks at our house so he colors on the fence, patio furniture, and bricks.

Logan loves Baby Campbell and as you can see doesn't let the crying get to him. He loves to randomly come give him hugs and kisses. He is already protective of his baby brother.

I had to get a picture of them in their matching pjs. I can't believe we are the parents of these two cute boys. These boys are different in every way so far. Campbell seems to be very serious and calm. He sleeps and eats really well and he looks just like Mike. Lets just say, that is so not Logan.

Don't you think you need more pictures of Campbell? He changes everyday and now weighs over 10 lbs at two weeks old.

Grandma Elsie came to help out when my mom left. Logan loved hanging out with grandma and she took great care of us. It was so nice to have the extra help and we were sad to see her go. We miss you grandma. Thank you for all your help! We are so lucky to have Grandpa Paul stay close by.

You can never be too careful. Safety first.

Here I am with little Campbell. He is so sweet.

I love this little boy!

Logan could not be more entertaining. He loves to climb up on this motorcycle whenever he gets the chance. His newest obsession is motorcycles and he has a thing for helmets, any kind of helmet. Isn't he funny?
