Animals (of all sorts)

I thought I would give everyone a break from Logan and talk about our four legged friends for awhile. With the new camera we have gotten some great pictures, I freakin love this camera!!




As you might have noticed the puppies are no longer puppies, they really are old little ladies. Annie is getting lots of gray hairs and Jaska is getting technically older but isnt really showing it much. They love to protect Logan and still love to get treats and follow poor Mom around all day demanding more rawhide sticks (because she is a sucker and gives in to them). They are going to the vet on Tuesday for a teeth cleaning, checkup, vaccinations and nail trimming, so they will not be too happy after that, but believe me, we will be to have some fresh breath on those dogs (for at least a few days).

As for our hamsters, we are down to one (Pixel) an offspring of Phebs & Daisy. We kept Phebs & Pixel but we lost Phebs to the "Rainbow Bridge" for hamsters over a month ago. To be honest, we are really kinda ignoring Pixel, so if anyone in the Austin area wants a female robo hamster let me know!!


Our neighborhood has lots of deer, we are surrounding by greenbelt so they are always around but never really out in the open HOWEVER I think they like Christmas lights. Ever since the lights have gone up on peoples houses (including ours) they are in front yards snacking on the grass. We had one showing up every night when I got home, but one night I managed to turn onto the street without scaring it, so I called Ian and he got a few pictures from between the blinds from the loft. They arent the best photo quality, but its a deer in my front yard, how awesome!!

More Logan (shocker huh)



He gets a little annoyed now when he can see his bottle and its not in his mouth. can you see his 2 bottom teeth too! he has 4 top teeth on top now too, its crazy! these pictures always freak me out a little because he looks soooo much like me at that age, I know its him but when I glance at these I just think its me.

Ian has been taking some really great pictures with our new camera, Logan was sleeping on my arm as we were chillin in the living room.



He finally likes his swing and now he is reaching for everything!! He has grabbed the mobile a few times and held onto it and then it angers the swing and it starts clanging really loud.

Still doesnt like being on his belly as you can see, even to get his favorite pumpkin orange.

Just like his mom and auntie lisa, he doesnt like having his feet under the covers.

Always sleeping with his arms up, this one really makes me chuckle.

Look at that profile, sooooo cute.


He is getting much better at sitting up, but sometimes he still just tumbles over :)

Drool, what drool??

He loves his rudolph, it plays music and makes him smile every time.




Still loving his feet, but can never figure out the best way to get them in his mouth, but not for lack of trying of course!


Just some more random pictures of Logan from the past 1 to 4 weeks, enjoy!

The Houstonian

So I got behind again and again I blame work :) Our property has recently undergone some changes and we have new management, who also owns & manages The Houstonian, one of the most well known hotels in Houston. The sales and catering staff went to visit our new partners this week, so we stayed overnight on Tuesday and had such a wonderful time! It is a beautiful facility, if you are ever in the Houston area you have to check it out.

Done for today...


So I think Ive done plenty of posting today, but I still have lots more to blog about tomorrow (even though this is more just like a large photo album instead of a blog since I dont really have time to type and keep up with it). Just so you guys can understand how behind on everything I am, I had a huge stack of magazines that had been building up, while I was breastfeeding/pumping I actually got through all but 2 of them. Well, I stopped that about a month ago, look how big the stack is already, Im gonna have to start a 2nd one soon!!!

So since its midnight I am going to go to bed so I can wake up in the morning. Everyday I tell myself I am going to go to sleep before midnight and every night I dont, bad bad me...

Logan and his Excersaucers

This boy loves his excersaucer, so many toys, not enough time in the day..








he even has a 2nd one at grandma/auntie lisa's to play with..

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree









Christmas Lights

Shawn came over and helped Ian put up our outdoor lights. We had them last year but never put them up, but I was determined to have lights this year so Shawn volunteered to help Ian otherwise they were never gonna go up.

Below is their final product:




Me being the crazy control freak person I am had to redo it all. It took me awhile to actually get it done since its already dark when I get home, but I finally fixed it, and then realized I had somehow messed up the plugs and couldn't plug them in, so I had to wait again until I could find some daylight to fix it, so finally on Saturday morning I was able to fix it before I went into work. Anyway, don't you think mine look sooooo much better :)



we have holly bushes in our flower garden, doesnt it look pretty with the christmas lights
