It's Starting to Bother Me...
The on-call nurse said this should last 12-24 hours...we're almost at 72...and it's now coming out both ends. I am very seriously considering covering every inch of the floor and furniture with sheets. Yep. I'm getting tired of it.

You Know You're A Mommy When...
...you can clean up large amounts of puke and it doesn't bother you.
Poor Logan.
Annie and I have been sick too, but hardly at all compared to him. He started Saturday night with a 102 fever, and has progressed to throwing up. He did it once on Wednesday, and once yesterday. This morning he got up in a great mood AND with an appetite. I was really happy about it. I thought, "Maybe we can get out of the house today!" He ate three bowls of cereal!
3 bowls of cereal=a lot more puke
He was sitting right next to me on the couch when he did it. And it didn't gross me out...not one bit. He seems fine now, but I don't think we're going anywhere today. :(
Annie asleep on her sick day.
"Uncle Joshie Gym": Josh kept us company yesterday when I thought everybody was on the mend...I hope he doesn't get sick too.
This was just funny. She put that swimsuit on all by herself.

Vacation
We're going on vacation for Annie's birthday in a few weeks...
Actually, we're going to Utah, but maybe Jim will want to extend our trip a little further once he sees this! (And I suppose our trip is in honor of Spring Break...it just happens to fall over her birthday.) Happy Birthday (almost) baby!

1:00 Church
Just in case anyone wasn't tired of seeing my children sleeping...
Annie has not fallen asleep on the floor since she was just a few weeks old. One second she was laying there smiling at me, and the next she was out.

Junk Food
We had ice cream for our FHE treat the other night...it was Annie's second taste ever. She REALLY enjoyed it. My favorite thing about these pictures is Jim's face.
This was her first taste ever of pizza...she was a HUGE fan.
There is a picture somewhere of me eating spaghetti that could almost be an identical match...definitely my daughter.
No, I do NOT normally feed my children pizza and ice cream...just in case anyone was wondering.

A Love of Books
Jim and I love books and I think it's wearing off on the kids. This is a VERY normal sight in any of the rooms in our apartment.
Just For Fun
Jim did an overnight trip up Pikes Peak last week. After unpacking, Logan decided he needed to climb in the pack.
This was too cute not to take a picture of.
Annie with Uncle Josh. She LOVES my brother. A minute before she had her head on his shoulder and he was rubbing her back. She snuggles with him almost every time he picks her up. I've never seen her snuggle up with anyone the way she does with him...not even me or Jim!

Gone Curly
I know I promised no more pictures of myself for at least six months but...a strange phenomenon has been happening with my hair lately...
I look an awful lot like my older sister this way!

Naptime??
My sweet little guy...

I am undecided if I should continue to NOT put Logan in bed for naptime. He continues to take one EVERY day...BUT he is sleeping better at night.

All About Logan
We love our little man. He's such a sweet, cute, funny little guy. I have a really hard time resisting him when he asks for hugs, stories, and (sometimes) cookies. He's got such a sweet little voice and innocence about him. This post is all about him.
All about Logan:
On Playing
A Boring Toy: Anything that Annie is NOT playing with.
A Fun Toy: Anything that Annie IS playing with.
How to give air kisses: First, go to your room for NOT being gentle with your sister. After time out, when asked to apologize and give hugs and kisses, stand three inches from your sister's face. Then kiss the air repeatedly in an effort to be VERY gentle...this makes up for your lack of gentleness earlier.
Toy Box: A box for sitting in while playing with toys. (Also creates a barrier between little sisters and the toy you don't want her to have.)
These were happenings from this morning. They really do play well together a lot of the time, and they weren't necessarily fighting over toys this morning. Logan likes to show Annie how he thinks the toy should be used...like the stacking tower he has in the picture. I think he got tired of Annie NOT stacking it right, so he barricaded himself in the toy box.
On Church
Logan loves anything related to church. He loves nursery, the people, the temple, praying, the prophet, scripture stories, and especially Jesus. We talk about those things all the time. He's figured out that I go to church more often than he does (I usually have two extra meetings each week) and frequently asks to accompany me.
The last time we went to the temple, he observed that I was wearing a dress and asked, "Momma go to church?" "No, I'm going to the temple." "Logan go temple with Momma." "Sorry buddy." That will be a wonderful day my little man.
When we help him with his prayers and say family prayers, he usually has something he wants us to include in the prayer...like giraffes, monkeys, garbage trucks...etc. It's helped us remember to be grateful for little things, too.
We have church at 1:00, I have choir practice right after, and Jim has a meeting every week at the same time, so we don't get home until 5:00 most of the time. Logan is a good sport. He takes his seat next to me and sings along with the choir. The picture below is from after church last Sunday. He was actually laying there almost asleep until he saw the camera and had to give me a silly grin.
On Sleeping
Lately, Logan has been getting up several times a night (I'm talking once every hour), and I've been exhausted over it. Between him and Annie's teething we've had some rough nights. I had a night this week that I was literally up with a child every 30-60 minutes. So we decided to cut out Logan's nap and see if it helps him sleep better at night. This started on Sunday, and so far he's managed to have a nap every day despite not being put in his bed. On Monday we snuggled to read story books, and he fell asleep. I didn't have the heart to wake him so we had a two and a half hour nap together (because he told me to close my eyes anytime he knew I was awake). Tuesday he fell asleep in the dining room DURING lunch and stayed there despite all the noise I was making. Yesterday we went to the zoo, and had a long enough drive in the car afterwards that he had a nap. Today, he fell asleep on the living room floor as soon as I had Annie down. He's two feet away from me and snoring like a bear. I figure that I don't need to prevent a nap if he's going to take it himself; I'm just not going to put him down anymore. He hasn't been having real long naps most days, and it does seem to be helping at night. He only got up once the last two nights!
Other Random Things
Logan loves music, but he has to pick it himself. Whenever we sing, we are not allowed to choose the song. Lately he's been giving me topics to sing about, and (amazingly) I've been able to come up with songs about everything (including the garbage truck, race cars, elephants, and apples). If I don't actually know a song about his object, I just use a familiar tune and make up silly words. He's going to grow up thinking there is a song for EVERYTHING. I really like it when he picks things that I already know songs about. Right now his favorite songs are the prophet song (Latter-day Prophets), the Daniel song (Follow the Prophet-the verse about Daniel), and the temple song (I Love to See the Temple).
Logan says the funniest things sometimes. Last night we'd just finished fueling the car, and he said, "Let's roll!" Jim looked at me and asked, "Do you say that?" "I don't think so. Do you?" "Not that I'm aware of."
The other night we were watching a kid's movie about airplanes, and Logan was sitting there straight-faced, eyes wide, and mouth open. Half-way through he said, "Awesome!" It was the only word he said for the entire 45 min.
Logan loves cleanliness and order. He doesn't like it when I change the location where somethings "belongs". When we clean everything has to be in its exact spot. He likes to help me vacuum, unload and load the dishwasher, wash and fold laundry, and scrub the bathroom. He isn't particularly fond of picking up his toys, though (he is INSISTENT that they go in the right spots however).
