Dropping Like Flies

Logan's teeth are dropping like flies. He lost his 1st tooth back at the end of June and here it is July and he is missing 4 teeth. I guess he is going to lose them just as fast as he got them. He had pretty much all his teeth by the time he was one and they came in 2 or 4 at a time. 

I didn't get a picture of his 2nd lost tooth, and I am not quite sure when he lost it, but it got knock out by Ashlee's head when they were playing around on our couch. It was a pretty traumatic experience. 

The ones where they come out by themselves is the preferred method for him to lose his teeth. I just can believe he is losing teeth, I remember it like it was yesterday, when he was getting his teeth. Logan is sure a sweet boy and he is growing up too fast!!!

Lost his 3rd tooth 7-17-14 while eating an apple.

Lost his 4th tooth 7-24-14 while eating Apple Jacks at Grandma Jacobsons.

Yep, we cant miss his crazy picture!!!

Swimming Lessons 2014

Swimming Lessons July 7-18, 2014

Logan and Ashlee were in different classes this year. Ashlee was in Level 1 and Logan moved up to Level 2.

They had a blast!! Logan learned a lot and will retake Level 2, and Ashlee will join him this next year. It makes me nervous to have them in the water, but they need to learn how to swim and it needs to be from someone other than me. They sure cant wait until next year when they can have lessons again. So until next year!!!!

Garden 2014

Our garden is growing. There is nothing better than seeing green among all the brown. 

GARDEN-JULY 2014

This is our new tomato cage that we are trying out this year!!! I sure hope it meets my expectations. I will review it next year when I make my garden post, as soon as gardening season starts.

Trying out Sunflowers this year!

I also added a little rose garden so that I can have some flowers somewhere in my yard!!!!

Logan First Season of T-Ball

 So for the whole month of June Logan will be playing t-ball. I am a little nervous for him, but he is so excited! He has to start somewhere and I am excited to watch him play :)!

Go Team Seneca!!!!

He learned a lot, and had fun!!!

We also got some new kittens from a lady who was at one of the t-ball games. We seem to go through cats pretty fast out here. But they are sure nice to have around to keep those nasty mice away.

Mommy-Daughter Date

So me and my sweet Ashlee got to spend a little time together just the two of us. We got to get all dressed up and go out to dinner. Ashlee got to wear her blue sparkly dress (her favorite). We talked and sang Frozen songs all the way into Twin. First we stopped by a wedding reception and then we headed to Applebees for dinner. We had the best time ever, eating and talking. Cant wait for many more of these special dates with my little girl. Love you to pieces Miss Ashlee Nicole Jacobson!!!!!

Of course we had to stick our tongues out for a picture!!!!

Can you can Strawberry Lemonade???

The Answer is YES, YES you can!!!!

I am so grateful that during a visit with my visiting teachers, Rose Kimball, shared with me one of her favorite things to can. She told me that this is one of the best things to open on a snowy winter day, Fresh strawberry lemonade concentrate!! So of course I have to try it, and just so I will always remember the recipe or for those of you who want to try it here it is:

Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate

6 Cups Whole Strawberries

4 Cups Lemon Juice

6 Cups Sugar

(makes 7 pints)

~ bring just to the point of boiling. Then put in jars and process for 15 min.

To serve just empty one jar of concentrate and add one jar of water (so a 1 to 1 ratio)

It is pretty yummy and worth a try. ENJOY!!!!

Holey-Moley

Lost his 1st tooth- June 24, 2014

I cant believe my sweet Logan is getting so old. He lost his first tooth. Look at that hole, he sure keeps playing with it. He was so excited. I wonder if he will lose them as fast as he got them. 

Mishagan 10 Months

10 Months

You are such a gun little girl!! This has been a big month for you. You are finally crawling and you love to be on the move. You can pull yourself up on things. You can wave bye-bye and you can clap your hands. You also got to go swimming for the first time and you love it!!! You also can drink from a sippy cup and you are fine without your bottle. So no more bottles, YAY!! (You are definitely the easiest one to have weaned from the bottle). You love to dance to music and all someone has to say it "shake it:" and you get your groove on. We sure love you!!!
