Trucks and Slides

1. First gather your trucks. Logan used his new big dumptruck. Sophie had the small cement mixer. 2. Drive over to the slide. 3. Girls first. Or maybe it was cement mixers first. 4. Next, time to test the slide before the final step. 5. Send down your dumptruck!

Abbey's Playtown

I LOVE this place. It's an indoor play area for the toddler/preschool crowd. We've decided to have Sophie's birthday party here. You can bring your own food in so we took a snack.

But this is why we really come. Look at all the cool things to do...bouncing, balls, play houses, train table, climbing mountian, swings, riding toys...

and then there is the roller coaster! Get ready, get set...

GO!!!!

Logan Preschool Party

The teachers wanted to do something for us so we had a party after preschool one day. It was so nice to have the kids involved and a big thank you to Ms. Marsha for putting this altogether.

Once again, Logan let Sophie help with the presents.

Don't you just love that smile!

This dumptruck was actually part of the decorations (it held the cookies). I think this will be his favorite toy.

Logan's Baptism and Celebration

My family and friends wanted to have some sort of "shower" or party for Logan so we decided to do it after his baptism. It was a truly blessed day! Our family of 4! My mom and sister decorated in red, white, and blue. So cute! Logan and Sophie with the cousins. Kalyn, Maya, Logan, Sophie, Matthew, and Olesya The kids in the preschool made this sign for the celebration.

Opening presents. He did let his sister help. He loved the wagon Aunt Kelly and Uncle James got for him. (Now maybe he'll let Sophie use her grocery cart again.)

Logan with all the wonderful gifts he received.

Logan can tell you what happened that day. The oil anointing was especially memorable for him. All day he would point to his forehead where the oil was put. He would also sign water and point to his head if asked what Pastor Mike did. Big thanks to all who were able to join us for this wonderful day!

Window Markers

After coloring on the kitchen tiles, toys, table, walls, and carpet yesterday, I decided the kids needed a space that was okay to color on. So I got out the window markers and let them scribble all over the back door glass. They had fun coloring but think they enjoyed using the spray bottle to clean the glass better.

Homemade Wagon

Maw Susan made the kids a wagon for the house today. They had a blast pulling each other around.

Fort Worth Museum visit

Paul was supposed to work today but decided not to, so we headed to the local Science and History museum. I've been wanting to go altogether, so I could determine if it was something I could do by myself with the kids. It was so great and I can definitely do it on my own. They have recently renovated and added a Children's Museum. We headed there first and just let the kids run around exploring all the fun stuff. They had snakes to look at, a huge train set to put together, a pretend grocery store, a hospital area, and water fun outside.

Letting Dr. Giraffe calculate their heights.

Off to get the groceries. Logan filled his basket with all the "roasted chickens" they had. Then he just kept adding stuff. Sophie was more interested in just pushing the cart, probably because the one we have at home is commandeered by Logan most of the time.

After we explored the children's area, we went to the Dino Lab and then saw a 4D show about the Barnett Shale. Then the kids got to explore all things related to drilling for natural gas.

We were ready to leave in time to get home, eat lunch and nap. I tried to get a picture before we left, but I think everyone was just ready to go.
