The big 23!

Rory celebrated his 23rd birthday this weekend. We went out to Tepenyaki and had a nice dinner. He is such a great friend and husband. He is supportive, loving, caring and so strong. He is my rock. I love everything about him. Every little thing. His beautiful eyes, his perfect smile, how he laughs when he is nervous, How he sleep talks, his little cheek thing he does when he is excited, how he makes Logan laugh and how great of a daddy he is. He is just perfect in every way. I could not be more thankful for him. I am so in love with him. Together forever and after, always in love with each other forever and after, and always happy with eachother forever and after. I love you Rory. I am so in love with you!

Logans one year photos I did a few weeks ago
Rory got one of me and our little guy.
A few pics from my most recent newborn session, LOVE them. That beautiful baby is the reason Rory decided it was time for another :)

My perfect boys. My life is nothing with out them, Love them so much and deeply. My angels, and forever blessings.
Today we took Logan in for his 1 year appt. He is now 21 pounds! He is in the 45th % weight and 48% for his heighth. Perfect little boy. Healthy as ever. His first dentist appt. is tomorrow! He has some troubles with his four top front teeth, the enamel is really weak, so we want to get this fixed asap so he can have confidence when he smiles and not feel self conscious. He has grown into the sweetest little boy. We love him so greatly. While we were at the doctors today, we also removed my IUD. We have made the decision to try for our 2nd. We are so excited. I can now get pregnant any time. I am started on pre-natals and eating healthier. My mom is really excited and supportive and I love that I can call her and ask her questions about things. Right now, we are only telling my family and waiting on Rorys side because Rory wants it to be a surprise for his mom. We are really excited and look forward to growing our family. Wish us all luck!

What we did this week :) Baby stuff!

Bought a very nice Tv stand, bought two very nice end tables, bought a HUGE mirror to go in our hall way, cleaned, had friends over for BLT's, Had another friend over for game night, cleaned, cleaned some more, Played with Logan, became nauseated all day, did a newborn photo shoot, noticed that my baby hunger grew even more, told Rory this, got lots of hugs for this, reminisced being pregnant, reminisced from when Logan was a newborn, nausea for the day starts again, loved Logan, talked about how much we love what he is growing into, went to a friends house, held there newborn, became even more baby hungry, watched as Logan LOVED this baby, gave her lots of kisses and loves, gave her her binky, her blankie, talked to Rory about what a good big brother he would be, talked about more baby stuff, nausea starts, as well as roller coaster emotions? Started to see a pattern with all these crazy symptoms. Hmm. Talked to Rory more about babies, decided it just might be time for another :)


Logan, he is the best baby. We love him so much, He teaches us so much, I am so thankful to have been blessed with him. He is so funny. He is always seeking ways to make us laugh. He loves walking, and he loves kicking the balls around our house, he LOVES dancing, and he is the best at it. He says byebye, dad, mom, ball, duck, nonononono, grampa, he talks a lot. he is just so sweet, and he made us realize how much we loved being parents and want to make our family grow. He would love a little friend. We havent been dead set yet, we were going to wait til Rory got hired on, but starting to think we want to try for another sooner. We will see :)

Happy fathers day

To my husband. Logans Dada. Our everything. You make Logan laugh hysterically, it melts my heart with joy. You love Logan better when he gets hurt, while making me love you even more. You play with Logan and teach him so many things, while your teaching me more about you. I love you so much. You have been the best father I could ask for, for our little man. Logan absolutely adores you. You brighten his face every time you walk in the door from work, as he does to you. He is heart broken in the morning when you have to leave, he will sit by the door crying for you til I go pick him up and explain to him that you ALWAYS come back! He just loves you so much. You make our family complete. I love you and I can't wait for our family to grow even more with you. Thank you for your hard work and your positive attitude. I love that you always think of Logan and I first. Especially when you are out an about and you surprise me by coming home with a bottled dr. pepper and a sucker for Logan, you just know :)

Keith,
Thank you for being the dad I needed in those years he was absent. You are my dad. I am forever grateful for you in my life. You teach me so much, and you inspire me to be the best person I can be. I know I can always come to you for advice, or a heart to heart. You are a true man. I am so thankful my mom fell in love with you. It is hard for me to understand how your "family" can just throw away a relationship with you, but I know what they are missing. Thank you for everything you do for me, and my family. Logan absolutely loves you, we can tell because you walk in the room and he chases you til you pick him up. Thank you for being such an awesome grandpa.

Dad,
Years have been tough not having you in my life as much as I would like, but I have you in my life a little, and I am very grateful for that. I look forward to the days where I get random texts from you saying you love and miss me. I forgive you for everything, I know things grew hard on you. I love you forever, not matter what. I can not wait til we can have a relationship as close as it used to be, but we are on the road to recovery now, and until than, I am grateful for the time we do spend with eachother. You are a great person. You teach me so much. You teach me about morals, and how to look past others flaws. You teach me how to love one another and how to forgive. I love you so much, and I am so glad to have you in my sons life as well.

Bored and hanging out with logan

That is a dresser Rory and I re-did for a date night, it will be going into Logans room.
Right now, Rory is at work til 10 tonight, and I am sitting here watching Logan's favorite, Bubble Guppies, weirdest show ever. I just finished decorating the present I made for Vanessa's baby shower, and now I need to clean my house, but instead I am just hanging out. Fun, but I am extremely bored. So I will post some pictures of my recent adventures :)

Maybe invite a friend over? Who knows.
