Logan has important things to say

Logan is overjoyed to finally be able to announce that he is going to be a big brother!!! The due date is April 29th. I have been going to the doctor every 2 weeks for the last month and a half due to some problems, but there has been a good strong heartbeat (up in the high 160's) each time. We look forward to finding out whether baby Shepherd is a boy or a girl in about 2 months.

Brag time

Well, I just have to brag on Logan. He is very much into writing his name and coloring these days. He decided that he did not just want to write his name on the inside of Grammy's birthday card, he wanted to write her name on the front of the envelope. After showing him how to write a few of the letters he wrote her name. Below you will see how well. I am so proud of this accomplishment. Not only as a parent, but as a teacher this brings a tear to my eye. He has become very interested in learning and we love it. Sorry to brag, but I just am so proud!

Dallas World Aquarium

Since the summer is winding down we decided to head to the Dallas World Aqurium. We had some friends also go and their little girl. K and Logan get along so well and always have a blast together. The only bad part was Tony's sunglasses fell into the tank with the mantatees. I guess there is one cool mantatee swimming around now. It was a blast and Logan enjoyed seeing the aquatic (and some non-aquatic) animals.

Texas Ranger's Game

We went to a Ranger's baseball game with a large group of friends. What a way to go; special parking, special gate entrance, box office with lots of yummy food and drinks sitting out, and a win for the Rangers! That is the way to go see a game. Hopefully next time we go the red carpet is pulled out for us again! :) Thanks to Sean's dad, Sean & Kendra. Logan had a blast and loved watching them play. He can't wait to play again himself.

First Trip to the Race Track

The day finally came that Logan was able to go and watch Tony race. He was in heaven all day Saturday. From the moment the car was loaded until we arrived, he just couldn't stop laughing and smiling. We headed up to Dallas Raceway. After waiting around 3 hours for the track temp to go down the races finally began. You will see that Logan was amazed and Daddy's helper after runs. I'm afraid that a monster was created. He idolizes Tony and wants to be just like him. I also have feeling that from now on when Tony goes racing, Logan will be begging to go also.

Lake Time

Last weekend we purchased a new boat. Logan has been so thrilled about taking it out on the water. We tried on Thursday night, but as we were going down our road Logan started vomitting. Instead of heading to the lake, we visited the ER. What a great trade off, huh? That's a different story in itself. This past Sunday we finally were able to take our first trip to the lake. Logan had a blast. He threw a huge fit when we loaded the boat on the trailer. This kid LOVES the lake and tubing. There is nothing like cruising around on the lake. That was the much needed therapy we needed as a family to heal. What a great time we had!

4th of July 09

This year we celebrated the 4th of July with some great friends, food, drinks, fireworks and of course water for the kids. We all had a great time. Logan LOVED the fireworks and kept asking for more!
