Logan's Student Showcase

Last Thursday night Logan took part at a Student Showcase at school. During the showcase he displayed his Bakugans that he has collected over the past 9 months. He had to man his table and when people came to ask questions, he answered them with ease and confidents. He did a great job. Of course, Mom had to "man" the table for 1/2 of the night when he went off with his friends to look at other tables. I hope I correctly explained the concept. Logan is very serious about his Bakugans!!

Kaitlyn's BIG girl bed

LAst weekend we took the side off of Kailtyn's crib making it a big girl bed. We wondered how she would do, hoping for the best. For the most part, she is doing good. It has been a week and she has not fallen out of the bed yet, and has only stuck out of her room (before we got the gate up) 2 nights. This morning was the first time that she did not wake up in the morning and cry by the door gate. She stayed in her room and was playing with her toys!!! She likes that she can get up in it at anytime and jump on the bed. When she is jumping she signs one of her favorite songs "No more Monkeys Jumping on The bed" What a big girl!!

Pinewood Derby!!

This past Sunday, Logan had his first Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby race.  Dad and Logan spent the last month working on his car.  Cutting, sanding, painting, and assembling to have his car meet specific criteria.  Rob did the cutting, Logan did the sanding and painting (doesn't it look good) and Rob put it together, along with adding weights to make it heavier.   We carried the car as if it were a crystal ball up to the weigh in station.  When we put it on the scale, we were .8 oz off.  So, Rob being the wonderful troubleshooter that he is, came up with drilling out some of the wood.  After running out of wood to drill out, he had to go into his weights.  That finally did it.  The weight was right on.  

Logan's group was first.  Logan won his heat, and to make a long story somewhat short, it came down to Logan and his friend Chris. They raced and won back and forth.  It finally came to a sudden death race, where unfortunately, Logan came in second.   He was very excited and proud of what he and his dad did.  Logan even said that he got teary eyed when he was handed his trophy!!  It wouldn't surprise me if dad got teary eyed when Logan got the trophy.  I am so proud of both of them!!

Way to go Guys!!! 

Happy Days are Here Again!!

What a nice day!!  This was the first day it was nice enough for the kids to play outside in a long time.  The temp was in the 60s with a gust of wind that made it fun for Kaitlyn with her hair blowing in her face!!!  Logan got to go out and play with his friends, but it seemed that they spent a lot of time indoors playing the X-box 360 and then running over to his friends to play Wii.  I guess they got some exercise running back and forth.
