More of Logan

So while Michelle and I were canning, Matt had to go move some bales so he said that he would take Logan in the loader with him. So I couldnt miss out on getting a few pics of Logan going to work with daddy.
Not sure about it.
Feelin pretty good about it now that daddy was going to let me drive. :)


Matt said that Logan fell asleep on the way to the field so he had to move bales while holding a sleeping little boy. Maybe I need to work on my timing of sending him to work with daddy. I need to pick a better time than nap time. Oh well!

Pictures of Logan enjoying one of his birthday presents.

Figuring out the water wheel.

Can we say too CUTE!!!!!!!!

Canning Season

Yep as all of you know it is canning season. And that is all I feel like I have been doing lately. I got roped into not only canning for us, but also for my mom and my dad. I really dont mind helping out, but I guess I didnt realize how draining it would be to can while I am pregnant. I  sure hope the season starts winding down faster. But I think I still have lots more to do.

But my recent project was to can pears, pears, more pears and peaches. I was grateful that my sister came out on Saturday and helped me can the peaches. Then I tackled the pears on Monday and Tuesday. It is always a lot of work but it sure is worth it to enjoy fresh produce year round.


We had three boxes to can and I was able to get 26 quarts.

Pears are the favorite around our house. Logan can eat a whole quart in one setting by himself. So we have alot of them to can this year.

In fact there was 5 boxes that I had to can. I was able to get 55 quarts.

I got alot stocked up and this year we get to enjoy 41 quarts of pears and 9 quarts of peaches. 
So glad that a couple more things are crossed off my canning list for this year. Only a few more to go.

2 Year Check-up

So with another birthday came yet another doctors visit. Wasnt worried because Logan is healthy and happy most of the time. We never have to worry about small illnesses with him, its only big, worrisome illnesses. I take Logan to the same pediatrican that I went to. I think the world of him and I hope that he doesnt retire until I am done having kids and they are all grown, but I doubt that will happen. I am sure that the others are just as good.
Since we have spent many hours and made tons of visits to see doctors over these past two years, Logan freaked out just walking into the room. GRRR! I had to get him undressed and he didnt care for that, so after they weighed him and measured him, we put his shoes and shirt back on to try and calm him down. It didnt work, he kept walking toward the door and saying come on, and waving his hand at me. What a little stinker. He only had to get one shot and he handled it pretty well. He cried louder and longer just sitting in the room than he did when he got his shot. What a weird child we have, but I guess it is understandable.
But all in all the visit went well. He is in the 95-100  percentile for his height and was a little under on his weight, which surprised me. Dr. Trotter said that he wouldnt worry because he would rather see taller and slender kids. I thought that a 30 lb 2 year old was pretty heavy but I guess not. Oh well he is healthy and doing well. Thats what I love to hear after a doctors visit.

So our little guys is growing fast and is healthy. YAY!!

2 YEARS STATISTICS
HEIGHT: 37.25 INCHES
WEIGHT: 29 1/2 LBS

Happy 2nd Birthday LOGAN!!!


Wow it has been a short two years since we were in the hospital waiting the arrival of our precious little boy, Logan. We sure have experienced a lot with this little boy. We have had tons of moments spent laughing at the cute and funny things he has done. We have spent many hours walking the floor with a sick or fussy little guy. We have shed many tears over long hospital visits and surgeries. But we have definitely been blessed with such an amazing little boy. You are never ready for them to come, but once they are here you couldnt imagine life without them. What a wonderful two years we have had learning how to have patience, love and understanding. There is nothing better than being a parent. We sure have the best little boy in the world. It has been a wonderful two years and we cant wait for all the new experiences ahead. Happy Birthday to our precious little boy. We sure LOVE you Logan!!!!!

PARTY-TIME



Logan loves Spongebob so I made him his very own Spongebob cake.


All the wonderful family that came to share and make this a wonderful day for Logan!


Opening presents.



I had to help him again this year. He just isnt much into opening presents. So we will try again with Christmas.

We had to get some help from Carson, because opening presents was taking too long, since Logan pretty much didnt care. Thanks Carson!

One CUTE little BOY!

Push-Pops! Or should I say more candy :)! He already has a sweet tooth, maybe we shouldnt have added to his addiction.

From Grandma and Grandpa Jacobson.

He did good and blew out his candles all by himself.

All done with presents and waiting for someone to bring him some cake. (Sitting on the water table that Grandma and Grandpa Jake got him).

Thanks again to all the family that came to help make this a special day for Logan. It was a fun time getting to see everyone and Logan had a blast playin with all the cousins.
