Project 366 Week 6

February 5-12, 2012

*Sorry for all the crappy cell phone pics this week...*

Super Bowl Sunday! We went to a Young Life Super Bowl party and Logan had too much fun flirting with all the ladies. I'm gonna have to keep my eye on him when he grows up!

R

He discovered 'leftovers'. Or maybe he just hides food in the pouch so he can still eat even after momma says he's done. :-)

Thirty-seventh

Tuesday we we're surprised with a date night! Kev's best friend, Jason, and his girlfriend, Bethany, showed up to not only babysit Logan so that we could go out, but also gave us gift cards for dinner and dessert! How awesome are they!?!?!?!?

Thirty-eighth

L.O.V.E. Iron Hill Brewery!

 Stupid night lighting...and the light glaring down on the sign...oh well.

If you've never had Kiwi you don't know what you're missing!

Too many toys? Or time to graduate to the big tub?

Thirty-ninth

Kitty makes a nice pillow. AKA, Sasha's to fat and lazy to move when I try to change the baby's diaper.

Fortieth

Friday Kevin left for a weekend retreat, so the baby and I packed up and spent the night with my parents.

Forty-first

Logan hangin' with Granddad

Saturday night we drove home from my parents. Big mistake. I left early than I had planned because it had been snowing all day. It was warm and all that had fallen the night before had melted, but it was about 32* and I didn't want to get stuck driving on slick roads.
 Sidenote: for those of you who didn't know me back in the day, me and driving in the snow don't mix. I panic. I shake, I cry. Maybe it has something to do with ending up off the road and needing to get towed out not once, but twice. (One of those may or may not have been on my driveway...don't judge until you see my parents driveway!)
Anyways, it was all fine and dandy the first part of the drive. Sure there were a few spots that were starting to drift a little, but nothing bad. Then I hit Gap. All the cars on the other side of the road were backed up and were behind a car that was creeping along with his four ways on. I judged him. I laughed at how he was overreacting. Sure it was snowing, but the roads weren't bad...there wasn't even snow ON the road! About a half mile up the hill I realized that the other side was completely covered in snow! I guess all the snow drifted to their side. I was relieved that it wasn't me. Up until that point I had told myself I could always turn around if it got bad. Not any more. Halfway up the next hill my lane slowed to a crawl. For the next 10+ miles we went about 5 miles an hour. I was freaking. I saw cars in the ditch. Tractor trailers sitting on the shoulder. I was a mess. I kept thinking about who lived close by and if it would be worth me pulling off the highway and venture down back-ish roads just so I could stop driving. A few miles before my exit it started to clear up. By the time I reached my neighborhood, my road was nowhere nearly as bad as the highway! Who would have guessed?

Forty-second

If they are even calling for snow I'm staying put. End of story.

Project 366 Week 5

January 29-February 4th

I did this post once and blogger wouldn't save, so here's take 2!

We discovered chocolate cake in a mug...YUM!

Twenty-ninth

Logan got a little too excited and broke a bowl :-(

Thirtieth

Tuesday was an absolutely gorgeous day! The last day of January and it was in the 60's! No complaints here! The stroller was in the car, so we walked down to the park in the neighborhood.

Thirty-first

Future model?

Wee!!!

Wednesday was gorgeous as well and we had the stroller, so we went for a walk and caught up with a neighbor.

 Thirty-second

In lieu of the nice weather we broke out the grill.

Thirty-third

Friday we hung out with some of our favorites. Logan gave Andy a glimpse into what life's going to look like in a few months.

Thirty-fourth

Saturday we had a chill morning at home before spending the rest of the day at a funeral.

Thirty-fifth

Some lost a Wii bowling game

Logan 10 Months

January 27, 2012

A new year!
You celebrated your first New Year's Eve and MLK day this month. Not that either means anything to you ;-)

Add caption

You, my love, are a little fireball. You could be perfectly happy and content, but if your "toy" gets taken away you lose it. You know how to throw a temper tantrum like the best of them. Your head goes back, you throw your whole body around and your scream. Give you something else and in less than a second you are perfectly fine. Silly, silly boy. I used the term "toy" loosely, because anything you can get your hands on becomes yours...Wii remotes, TV controller, spoons, cell phones etcs. Actually, I really believe that you think the remote is yours. I have found you putting it in your toy boat numerous times and even in your toy basket a time or too! At least you know how to put away your toys :-)

You are turning into a little boy more and more each day. You can speed crawl and are out of the room in seconds! Sometimes you get so excited that you end up using a foot as you crawl...just a matter of time till you try and walk. :-) You cruise around on furniture and your toys without batting an eye, and are starting to realize that you can let go of something and grab something on the other side. You are also standing on your own a lot more.

You understand what we say, but are a very independent soul and don't always listen. :-) You like to test your boundaries too. Especially with the kitty food. You just don't understand why you can't play with their food, and think that if momma turns her back she can't see you. Same with your fascination with outlets. You really want to unplug whatever is plugged in.

You can wave goodbye, and you get super smiley and happy when you see someone you know. Daddy coming home every day is your favorite, and waking up to him over the weekend is a fun treat. Pure joy.

You make crazy sounds too. You love to strum your lips, suck on your tongue, and try to make other people make noises back at you.

My super active boy can't sit still for  picture, but will so sweetly give a nice strong hug to momma and daddy.

Not sure exactly your stats but your around 18 pounds and 28 inches. Still wearing a few 6 month, but wearing more and more 9 months.We added a few more clothe diapers to the mix this month and momma is super happy she only has to wash them twice a week now. When you do wear disposables you are in size 3.

I do love how active you are, and that you won't sit still. It makes your cuddly moments that much sweeter! Love you!

Project 366 Week 4

This week started out with saying goodbye to JoePa. Kevin's family is a PSU family, he, his brother and his sister graduated from there, and his mom is currently taking classes there. Logan has more PSU attire then I think any of them do! It's sad that he will only hear of the legend of JoePa.

Twenty-second

A phenomenon happened on Monday...Logan decided he didn't want to eat something! *GASP* Shocking, I know! I think he was tired of chicken, and would pick it out of the assortment of food on his tray and drop it on the floor. We may not have a dog any more to clean up after him, but the kitties like chicken...

(Side note: I got word that Kadee has been adopted to a new home!!! I'm so happy for her!!!)

Twenty-third

Tuesday we had a busy day. Logan and I took daddy to work and went to our mommy's group and ran errands until it was time to pick daddy up. Logan loves his daddy so much and loves to play with him. (I think daddy likes to play with Logan too)

Twenty-fourth

Wednesday was another busy day that ended in an unwanted bath for the babe. Since bath time was cut short we let him enjoy some naked baby time before bed. He's my little baby bodybuilder.

Twenty-fifth

Logan has always had an obsession with cups/mugs. Now that he is big enough to handle them himself, he decided to help himself to my hot chocolate. Unlucky for him, I already had gulped it down. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, but you gotta use what ya got, right?

Twenty-sixth

Friday was Logan's 10 month birthday! Oh.em.gee!!! We're in the double digits already. I need to start planning a birthday party! I'm such a slacker!!! I tried to do our normal photo shoot...I thought it was hard the first month when he would just slump and into the monkey. 2 seconds after this shot he took a nosedive off the rocker.

Twenty-seventh

Like I've said before, Logan loves his dadda! His new thing is to give hugs. So stinkin' cute!!! We had friends over for a game night Saturday night and rocked some Apples to Apples and Cranium. The Gregory's kicked butt in both.

Twenty-eighth

Project 365 Week 3

January 15-21, 2012


Sunday the baby and I packed up and headed off to my parents after church and couples group. Kevin was still away at Winter Weekend, and what grandparent would pass up a chance to see their first (and only) grandson?

Fifteenth

Gotta pass at least 1 horse and buggy on the way

Monday we woke up and had a delicious breakfast, played until it was close to nap time and then went shopping. My momma is so sweet and offered to buy me a new pair of jeans. My 'nice' pair is no longer nice and actually had a hold wear through the knee that morning. Since we are on a spending freeze this month, it was a real blessing. Even though she was buying I didn't want to take advantage and get something that I wouldn't have bought for myself. So after checking many places out, I finally stopped in my favorite jean store, American Eagle. It just so happened that their clearance section was an addition 40% off, so I walked out with a pair for only $18. :-)

Sixteenth

Tuesday was a chill day at home. When baby's nap time rolled around I grabbed a cup of tea, my Bible, and my Bible study book and settled in on the couch. Sadly, only for about 15 minutes because my baby doesn't like to nap. :-(

Seventeenth

Wednesday Logan decided he wanted to watch a movie...only problem was he didn't know which one so he pulled them ALL off.

Eighteenth

Thursday it was time to run the dishwasher. I guess one nice thing about having a baby in the house means having a back up spoon...

Nineteenth

Friday we had a play date with 2 lovely momma's and their 2 boys. Ian was so sweet and was trying to give Logan his sippy cup. :-) Austin was content with just taking everything in.

Twentieth

Saturday was the first snow of the year. We woke up to a few inches, so we bundled up the baby and headed out. I think he might take after his momma and not be a fan of the cold.

Twenty-First

My blue eyed snow angel

P.S. I just realized that this isn't project 365, but 366 this year...oops!

Project 365 Week 2

January 8-14

Sunday was Kevin's mom side of the family Christmas gathering.
One of Kevin's cousins is a foster mom. She got this cutie just a few weeks after Logan was born. His name's Cole and he's 2 1/2 weeks younger than Logan, although he's bigger since L is a little guy. We thought it would be fun to plop them on the floor and see what they would do.

Eighth

Whatcha got?

What is this thing?

Monday Logan thought it would be fun to hide my phone. I searched the half of the living room and entryway where he had been playing. Not until way later when I leaned over the side of the couch I glanced at the magazine basket and caught a glimpse of it. Finally!

 Ninth

Can you find it? Lucky you only have a small photo to look for it :-)

Tuesday I got fed up with looking at a naked tree in our house and took it upon myself to remove it. Apparantly our tree was a bit on the overweigh side...

Tenth

Do you see how many needles are piled up on the right side? Yeah.

Wednesday we headed up to the PA Farm Show. Yeah, it was fun. Tons of food, fun and animals. Working on a post that may or may not get published (like 50% of them)

 Eleventh

Thursday was a rainy, cold boring day, so Logan took a bath with daddy.

Twelfth

Not sure who had more fun..

Friday Kevin left for his first ever Young Life retreat. Winter Weekend! He will be missed, but he's going to have  blast!

Thirteenth

Saturday was a lazy day, we went to Wegman's and that was it. Our excitement of the day was Kobe licking Logan's yogurt bowl clean. (Disclaimer: I normally don't let my animals on the table, or lick items we eat, and this went straight into the dishwasher so it got nice and clean and sanitized.)

Fourteenth

P.S. We got a new lens for Christmas and I am totally loving it!!! What do you think? Now to find time to edit the photos...
