Logan Turns Three!

Our little Logi Bear just celebrated his 3rd birthday! He is so cute and getting so big. He has a smile that lights up his whole face and these great big brown eyes that you can't help but love this cute little boy. We celebrated with a fun filled day that started with birthday doughnuts for breakfast, a trip to the library, Mcdonalds for lunch, a trip to Chuck E Cheese to play a few games (courtesy of Rick so I could get the house ready for the party), and then the finale was his party. He had a full day and I think he loved all the attention he got all day. I think he felt special and that is what we wanted.

 Eating the birthday doughnuts bright and early. Our boys wake up at 6 so kudos to Rick for waking up extra early to go get the doughnuts.

He was really excited to open his presents that morning.

 Tyler was more than happy to help Logan open his present from him. What else would Tyler pick out to give to someone besides a transformer.

 The Toys R Us by our house was having a huge moving sale and everything had to go. Toys went waaaaay cheap. If you were brave enough to fight the crowds, they were worse than black friday, you could get some pretty good deals.

 The crew at the party, minus one little boy who was too busy playing to come sit at the table.I normally don't do a friend party for a 3 year old but ever since Tylers bday party Logan has been talking about his party. I didn't want him to feel any less special than Tyler so we threw him a little party. I think he loved all the attention.



I love how at all kid parties the kids are all right on top of the one opening the presents.:)

 Blowing out his candles. It took him three trys to blow out three candles. It was cute :)

The birthday boy loved his Mickey Mouse cupcakes.

We love our Logi Bear!

1st week of Kindergarten

Tyler had such a fun time his first week of kindergarten! He would come home each day and tell me all kinds of stuff he had learned. He learned a lot about different shapes and their lines and angles. The thing that shocked me the most was when he came home on Friday and told me that a diamond is also called a rhombus. Seriously?! I'm pretty sure I was in like 7th grade geometry before I ever heard of a rhombus! Any way he kept looking so cute every morning before school so I kept taking pictures and pretty soon I had a whole weeks worth.
 Tyler can be so funny, especially in front of the camera. He kept looking at these pictures telling me that these are his "cool poses"
When I picked him up on Friday he was wearing this crown. It says "I survived my 1st week of Kindergarten" He was very proud of it!

Tylers first class picture. I thought it was so cute. His teacher emailed it to all the parents on Friday. "We Made It!!" We survived our first week of Kindergarten!

Kindergarten!

The much anticipated/dreaded day finally came yesterday. Tyler started Kindergarten! We are all so excited for him and this new adventure but sad that he is growing up too fast! We were fortunate to get Tyler into a really great school that just happens to be right down the street from our house. The school is so popular and so great in fact that it is almost impossible to get your kids into. My friends and I had to camp out over night in front of the school the night before the waiting list opened up just to get our kids in. Call us crazy but there were lots of other parents there doing the same thing. It was well worth it though to get our kids into such a good school. 
Being crazy showing off his new clothes! So excited to finally have his first day of school.

His spider man pose. Shooting his webs.

Finally a normal pose

Tyler and his friend Regan outside their school. They didn't plan to dress the same but chances of that happening are good because they have a pretty strict dress code at the school. Solid red, white, or blue collared tops and plain navy blue or khaki shorts or pants. That made school clothes shopping really easy.

Tyler with his teacher Mrs. Gullette. She seems really sweet and patient with the kids and we have heard really great things about her! We are really excited that Tyler got in her class.

Tyler sitting at his desk. I can't believe how big he is. I hope he has a great year!
