Snow Day

It is the beginning of Spring, and there is a blizzard. One day is 75, and the next day is 20. The blizzard blew through this past Friday. Logann couldn't have loved the snow more. On Friday night, we told her to get dressed in warm clothes so she could go play out in what snow had fallen so far. Here is what she chose:

So, we went in and chose clothes for her. We headed outside to play in the few patches of snow on our yard. Logann said she wanted to make snowflakes (not quite sure how to do that), snowballs, and snowmans.

Saturday brought us about 5 inches of snow, so Logann and Jeremy made a snowman and lots of snowballs and snowangels. Even though her little cheeks were red as strawberries and her hands were as cold as ice, Logann did not want to go inside. Even when the last bit of the snowman melted on Sunday afternoon, Logann searched and searched for the last drop of snow in which she could play (or stomp through). She said she can't wait for it to snow again.

Happy Birthday, Princess Logann

Logie Bear is now 3!  I can't believe it...just yesterday she was laying in her bouncy seat sleeping snuggly in her blankets.  Now, she is skating around in her Dora skates and shaking her booty for anyone who will laugh.  We celebrated her birthday on Saturday, February 14 with a princess dress up party.  Logann played with her friends Hannah, Benjamin, Lindy, Nathan, Miah, Karsen, Kaitlyn, and Joe in her Rose Petal Cottage and in her pop-up school bus.  We enjoyed her princess crown cake, in strawberry of course, princess punch, and lots of snacks.  As favors, the girls enjoyed their own tu-tu and purse filled with dress-up jewelry, bubbles, and princess snacks.  Boys were less fortunate in the favor department.  What do you give boys who come to a princess party?  They got gift boxes with bubbles and Spiderman snacks. Logann opened many great gifts, including clothes, coloring activities, books, a tent, Dora skates, and more.  We were so excited to spend the day celebrating with friends and Grammy, Nana, Miah, Sher-Bear, Amanda, and Granny Choke.

Now, we look forward to the adventures that go along with having a three year old.  I can do it!  I will survive!  Lord help me!

A Day at the Zoo

As the saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, stick around (for a day or so) and it will change."  This was definitely the case when we went to the zoo.  Not many days in January are warm and in the 70's.  So, we took advantage of Saturday, January 3rd.  It was so warm and sunny, so we loaded up and headed to the zoo.  We stopped off an enjoyed some Sonic for lunch.  Logann "accidentally" poked her straw through her cup as she sat in her car seat, so she had a special "strut" as she walked around the zoo.  It was actually a blessing in disguise because she wanted to ride in the stroller instead of walk because her pants were wet. The giraffes were amazing, and we loved looking at the gorillas and talking to the ostriches.  The elephants were shipped off to Tulsa, but the rhinoceroses took their place nicely.  After looking at the fish, we stopped at the playground and then enjoyed a ride on the merry-go-round.

After the zoo, we stopped to do some shopping at the mall, and we stopped to get some birthday invitations at Hobby Lobby.  When we left the Hobby Lobby parking lot, the temperature was 68.  We drove straight to Yukon to eat at Chili's.  In the time that it took us to drive from Hobby Lobby to Chili's, the temperature had dropped to 42.  We enjoyed a nice dinner, then braved the wind and the cold to drive home.  

What a day!  We enjoyed the sunshine, the warmth, the animals, good food, family time, the wind, and the cold.  Only in Oklahoma!
