Well, I haven’t been posting… again. I have a great reason this time. I have been taking 2 2-week masters courses and remodeling the bathroom all in the same time frame. 
I went to class yeaterday, then got right to work onthe bathroom. We worked a total of 10 hours straight. I am so tired. My arms hurt from cutting/carrying/installing 10+ peices of concrete board into the house last night. I think I might rest a bit today after class and try to get some laundry done. I will have some pictures of the process soon!
Exhausted! June 19, 2008
Catch-Up June 5, 2008
So, again, it’s been a while. I’ve been wrapping up school and working on some side projects. We’ve done so much since my last blog, so I will take you on another picture journey and hopefully I can stay caught up now that school is out.
We begin with Memorial Day Weekend. Jeremy and I took Logan on his first real camping trip. We went to Mark Twain Lake. When we got there, we set up the tent, then Logan, Daddy, and Uncle Adrian played some baseball.
Logan can hit the ball almost every time.
He can pitch it pretty well too.
That night, Jeremy was going to cook dinner on the campfire, but Adrian talked him into going out to eat. With the wet ground, it wan’t very difficult to do. When we got back to camp, they built a campfire and Logan chased one of Adrian’s friend’s Golden Retriever puppy around the campsite for about an hour. They made a great pair. We sat around the campfire for about 2 hours before Logan begged us to go to bed. (if you have a kid that is a sleep fighter, just set up a tent!) The next morning, Jeremy and Logan went fishing waiting while I watched read a book.
When that didn’t work, Logan decided he might have better luck with the ducks.
No luck… so we decided to go on a hike.
We had a great exhausting time while we navigated got lost on the 2 mile 5 mile trail.
Logan: Is this hike EVER going to be over?
Mommy: Not if Daddy keeps telling us where to go!
Daddy: We need to turn left. That is North.
Mommy: We don’t know which way we started. You just pulled out the compass.
Daddy: Just trust me.
-30 minutes later while Jeremy insists that we go “down this path” and waits 1/4 mile back with Logan-
Mommy: We are lost and are trying to find our van at Buzzard’s Point
Park Ranger: Here is a map. Go up this road (opposite direction of Daddy’s proposed path) and hit the trail here.
Mommy: Thank YOU! JEREMY, THIS WAY!
Daddy: I told you we needed to go this way!
Mommy: Shut-up.
Logan: Carry Me!!!
On Wednesday, we went to Joe’s band’s concert Battle of the Bands at Busch Stadium. Logan and Elle enjoyed hanging out running around while we waited for his band to start. We managed to get them still for a couple seconds to get their first “groupie” picture. Aren’t they cute?
Then, we watched the Cardinal game Logan and Elle loving on each other.
They were being so good, Bean decided it was time for the traditional cotton candy run. That was the end of them sitting still!
Friday night, we had this brilliant idea to go bowling. The kids had fun for about 5 frames, then it was all down hill. It didn’t help that the bowling alley was DISCUSTING, the lanes were uneven, and none of us were bowling well since we were distracted with the kid’s game. Peyton did manage to throw 2 strikes! This picture was taken before the 5th frame.
We went to the Wood River Aquatic Center on Sunday afternoon. The camera was dead, so I didn’t get any pictures, but Logan had an eventful day. He went down the waterslide by himself with no life jacket, then decided he was big enough to jump off the diving board into a 16 ft deep pool. He did it and made it. Infact, he repeated that about 5 times! This was our conversation walking along to the car:
Logan: Mommy, I’m more like a five year old aren’t I?
Mommy: Logan, you are more like a 6 year old after being so brave today!
Logan: I love you Mommy!
Mommy: I love you too, Logan.
Next time I’ll get batteries to get some photo evidence.
