More Summer Fun

Our past few weekends have been a bit busy. Logan and I went to a bluegrass and BBQ festival with my parents one Saturday...Adam was a party-pooper, he didn't want to go. :-( Too bad, though, it was really fun! Anyway, at the bluegrass and BBQ festival there was a stand with funnel cakes and they smelled SO good. I did not get one, but I remembered I had a recipe to make some at home. So, the next week I decided to make some funnel cakes as a special treat. Logan had a good time eating them!

I get a thumbs-up! Must be good!

Must wipe mouth with shirt.

The next weekend, we had a garage sale with my mom and dad, so we were at their house for the weekend. My dad grilled some YUMMY ribs, we had potato salad, and squash...YUMMY!!!! I thought it would be fun and a nice way to end the evening if we made s'mores. I think Logan enjoyed eating the marshmallows, but I know he liked toasting them even more. All he wanted to do was roast marshmallows. What a nice summer evening!

Adam enjoyed his s'mores, too!

Since Logan's cowboy hat has seen much better days, his granny and pa got him a new cowboy hat to wear to church and a bolo tie. He was really excited about his new hat and tie. He was all spiffed up Sunday morning!

The last few pictures are just of things I thought were cute and funny that Logan has done recently. Hope you enjoy!





Of course we have to get in some bluegrass practice!

Tiring weekend at granny and pa's.

Love the hair-do!

I'm not sure what he was trying to do, but he found most of his cars and lined them up.

Finally, Logan loves to be outside, whether it be riding his tricycle, roller skating, drawing with chalk, or just kicking a ball. But, here he is on his tricycle.

Must be prepared...in case it starts raining in the house.

Mommy is taking a picture...trying not to look! :-)

Summertime Fun

Such a big yard for such a little boy!

Logan's new pose

This is supposed to be a firetruck in case you're wondering!

Logan and Makayla

The Newest Member of the Grand Ole Opry

As everyone knows, my dad really enjoys playing his guitar and mandolin. His favorite music is bluegrass. He is working his hardest on Logan, so he will have a playing buddy. It seems to be working, though. Every Tuesday evening my dad goes to a little bluegrass picking. While I was staying with my parents, waiting for my house to be ready, we had the opportunity to go listen to some good ole bluegrass music. The first night we went, my dad had his guitar out to "practice" and Logan was playing his mandolin. It was about time to go, so my dad was put his guitar in the case and started to load up his truck. As we headed out the door Logan told us to wait; he ran off and came right back with his mandolin. We put it in the truck, thinking this could be really cute, or really bad. When we got to the Powersville Grand Ole Opry, we unloaded the truck, and watched as the guys set up on the stage. Logan decided he wanted to get up there and play his mandolin. My dad got a chair for him, he sat down and went to playing just like all those other men. He was the biggest hit! All the people got such a kick out of that little boy up there playing his mandolin. We only got to go about three times, but every week those people ask about Logan and where he is. They said they have a spot for him if we're ever back visiting on a Tuesday night!

Back in Business

Hey, everybody! I know it has been a REALLY long time since I've posted anything, but Adam finally found the cord to my camera so I can post pictures again! Although I've been absent for a while, not really a whole lot has been going on. We have been busy painting and unpacking and that's about it. These are the only pictures I have of the house so far. I know some of you have been wanting to see them (Audrey) so, here you go and I hope you enjoy! More to come as we go along.

The Burning Bush

Logan is studying about Moses in his bible class. A few weeks ago they talked about the burning bush. When Adam went to get Logan from class, his teacher said when they were talking about the fire, Logan said, "Need a big waterhose. Put fire out." Pretty cute.

My Poor Baby

Why is it that kids always get sick at the most inconvenient times? Thursday night I went out shopping with my mom and my dad stayed home with Logan. When my mom and I got back home, we could tell Logan didn't feel good. He had a fever of about 103. Since I didn't bring the medicine cabinet with me, I had to go to the store to get him some motrin. All through the night and the next day, his temperature stayed at around 103. My mom and dad thought I should take him to the doctor. Since it was late, and I am out of town, I took him to an urgent care facility. When the tech came in and took his vitals his temp was 103.7 and they said his oxygen level was really low. She told us we should have taken him to the ER, then yelled out, "I need a doctor in here ASAP!" Talk about getting scared! Well, his oxygen level came up, they gave him motrin for the fever and took a strep culture. The culture came back negative, but the doctor felt that his fever was being caused by his "red, puffy throat." He prescribed amoxicillan for him. So, we started the med Friday evening.

Since Friday, Logan's fever has gone down to about 100, but he developed a rash all over his chest, stomach, back, and groin area. I didn't know if the rash was an allergic reaction to the meds or what, so I called a pediatrician today and took him in. This doctor told me that Logan's throat was a little red and he thought he had a viral infection. He said to think of the rash as more of a side effect of the medicine than an allergic reaction. He also told me to stop giving him the amoxicillan and to let his body take care of itself.

So, after who knows what kind of bill we are looking at, we were basically told to do nothing. I could have done that on my own. ;-) But, it's better to be safe than sorry, I know.

We're Not Homeless

After closing only nine days late, I am happy to say that we FINALLY have a house! We were getting worried there for a while because we were supposed to close on April 21. The lease at our apartment ended on April 30, which is the day we finally did close. Because this house was a foreclosure, it needs some work done, so I will be staying with my parents until the contractors are finished working on the house. The previous owners decided to take pretty much everything out of the house: all appliances (which is the main reason I'm not staying there), light fixtures/ceiling fans, shower heads, kitchen and bathroom cabinet door pulls, towels racks in the bathrooms, toilet paper dispensers...you name it, they took it. We are also getting new flooring everywhere but the bathrooms. The flooring is really the biggest thing the contractors have to do, so hopefully they will get in and be done pretty quick. Adam had a meeting with the contractor today, so we are hoping to get a schedule this afternoon of when they will start and how long they expect it to take.

I won't be able to post any pictures until I get home, but I promise to do that as soon as I can. Now, keep in mind that I will have unpacking to do, but, I'll see what I can do! ;-) I can tell you that I have some pretty cute pictures of Logan to share, so stay tuned!
