A FULL Spring Break Week!!!

I'm so sad that today is the last day of Spring Break. I really enjoyed the vacation. I guess it's a really great taste of what summer has in store for me.

The first day of spring break, Saturday, was a VERY rainy, wet day, but Adam and I HAD to get the sod laid down in our yard. Yes, we tore out all those plants in our front yard and put grass in. It was such a difficult chore and it took a few hours, but through all the wet and mud Adam and I got it all down and I can't believe the huge difference it makes to our house. It really opens it up and makes it more inviting. I wish I had before and after pics of what we did, but unfortunately I don't have either. Lets just all keep our fingers crossed that it takes. We've been doing lots of watering to it.

Sunday, March 15th, Adam and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. It seems so odd to say it was our one year anniversary because we've been together for so long, but it was. WOW!!! I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband. Here is a picture of that wonderful spring day last year.

I had a few things I wanted to do during the week of spring break. I wanted to read a book and I wanted to do something with Logan away from the house everyday. And I can actually say that I accomplished both those goals. I read a fabulous book called, The Reader. Some of you may have seen the movie, but I had not, so I did not know what the book was about. It was a really great book and I really don't have any intentions on watching the movie. I don't want take anything away from the book. I suggest to anyone who has not watched the movie to read the book.

Logan and I also did something everyday during spring break. On Monday, Logan, Honey, and I went to the Texas State Aquarium...which happens to be in Corpus. Adam was able to meet up with us later on during the day. We had a blast there. We walked around and looked at all the different sea creatures. We watched the dolphin show, had lunch, and played in the playground area. Here are a few pics of that great adventure.

On Tuesday, St. Patricks Day, Logan, Honey and I went to watch, "Elmo Goes Green" at the American Bank Center. We had excellent seats. Logan really seemed to enjoy herself. Here are a few pics from that wonderful experience.

We were VERY close up. In fact we actually moved to sit further back.

And this part shocks me. This balloon cost $10. Yes, can you believe that they get away with selling that thing for $10. Poor Logan, she didn't get a balloon that day.

On Wednesday I decided to take Logan up to the pool that her and I would be starting swim lessons at next week. They had an "open swim" time, so I thought it would be perfect. I was SOOOOOO wrong. There were about 300 kids too many there. The pool was extremely crowded and Logan did not get quite the experience I was hoping she'd get. We stayed for about 10 minutes and left. I forgot we weren't the only ones on spring break.

On Thursday Logan, Honey and I went to the beach. Logan has not been to the beach in a VERY long time. I was bummed to see that she didn't enjoy it that much. She wasn't very fond of the sand...that's not something that she needs to dislike at the beach. I've never heard of a beach without sand. I guess Adam and I need to take her there more often so she will learn to appreciate it. Here are the few pics we were able to catch there.

Mom and Logan playing together. I'm trying to do whatever I can, so she'll have fun.

On Friday it was my 30th Birthday. WOW!!! I can't believe I'm out of my 20's. I don't feel 30, not that I really know what 30 is suppose to feel like. I feel like people might take me more seriously. I'm not just a young child anymore, I'm 3o. :) I'm old enough to have had some "experiences" in my life. Adam and I went to dinner in Rockport that night. It was very delicious. It was a really nice dinner with just the two of us.

Saturday morning, we got up early and Adam, Logan, Honey and I headed out for San Antonio to go to the Zoo. There were soooooo many people there. Last year, we were at the San Diego Zoo and I believe there were just as many people at the San Antonio Zoo as there was the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo is much larger than San Antonio Zoo. Logan seemed to enjoy herself for the most part. We had our difficult moments...especially when she was hungry and I think we waited in like for like 30 minutes just to get our food. We saw LOTS of animals and she got a chance to walk around a bit. Here are a few pics of that wonderful occasion.

Logan and Dad by the reptiles...that was not my favorite part

I think we all felt this way after the zoo. Everyone needed their nap, but Logan definitely got hers. :)

And today is Sunday and I am getting back into the swing of things, ready...well not REALLY ready, to start work back up again. I'm lucky to have had such a wonderful break. It' s going to make the summer that much more enjoyable. Logan starts tippi toes back up on Monday and Tuesdays and Thursdays we are starting swim lessons. I hope all of you, who had the week off, had just as enjoyable of a week as I did. Thank you Honey for going with Logan and I on all these wonderul adventures....we sort of filled up your Spring Break week also. And Thank you Corpus Christi weather for being good to us!!

Logan says "Thank you" too!!!

First Hair Cut

Logan finally got her first hair cut this weekend. I was told that if you just trim her hair a little it will start to grow more and get thicker, so that's what we did. This weekend I had a hair appointment for myself, so Adam brought Logan up while I was getting my hair done. When Logan and Adam arrived I was getting my hair washed. This is a picture of Logan sitting on me while my hair is getting washed.

We did a very little trim on Logan's hair. We cut a little bit in the front and very little in the back. I still want to be able to put it in those pig tails. Logan sat on my lap during the process. They were actually blow drying my hair while they were cutting her hair. I think the blow dryer was a good distraction because this could have been the perfect opportunity for Logan to lose it and throw a fit, but she didn't. She was wonderful. Here are more pictures of the process.

And here is an extra picture just for fun...she took Adam's hat away and put it on her head. ADORABLE!!! Her "Honey" or "Grandma" (whatever Logan decides to call her) is trying to give her some glasses she bought her.

Tippi Toes and Pig Tails

For the past 3 Mondays Logan and I have been going to tippi-toes. It's a mommy and me class for girls 18 months - 3 years to do ballet. Here are a couple pictures of Logan on her second day of the class. I was so happy she let me put the outfit on her.




I think I'm carrying her along here...she doesn't seem to want to walk. :)

Here are pics from this past Monday in class. I was REALLY surprised she let me put this outfit on. She's not one for tights, but she had no problem. Not a tear was shed when I changed her.

This is at the end of class and Logan just got a sticker for doing such a GREAT job!!!


She's trying out one of her moves here. So cute, right?

The class is about 45 minutes long and all the jumping and moving around gets me pretty tired also, but I am having a great time with her. Each time she stays engaged longer and longer and she participates better. She especially loves when the turtles come out. I especially love any time where she actually tries to do some of the movements they ask. It's so darn cute.

This week I was also able to put Logans hair in pig tails for the first time. It's so cute. She actually kept them in her hair the whole day. I usually just put one pony tail on the top of her head, but this particular morning I felt adventerous and decided to go for 2. To my surprise she was okay with it. That evening around 5:30....she went to take the pony tails out, but she is so used to having just one in there, that that was all she took out. She just took one side out. It was too funny. I wish I would have gotten a good picture of it, but she kept running away from me.

Check out those pig tails.
