Cookies and Milk

One night we ask Logan what he wanted for a snack and he told us cookies. Then he told us "nook, I dip it."Ben patiently waiting for his turn. :)

Awards Banquet- Year 2

Ben has been serving on the Honor Guard for two years. In those two years, he has participated in numerous funerals and retirement ceremonies over much of the state of Oklahoma. He does his job well, even though he would never say that. It came time for the awards banquet and Ben was nominated for Ceremonial Guardsman of the Year for the officers. (I am not sure if you remember last year, but we initially weren't going and ended up going at the last minute.) Anyway, this is the same award that Ben received last year, so when I found out was nominated once again, I immediately asked him if we were going. He wasn't sure, but then he found out that he was the only one nominated. Since I knew far enough in advance, I was able to go and get a new dress with the help of Jenna. (It was wonderful to have someone be available to give a second opinion and also watch the kids while I tried on what seemed like a hundred dresses.) Here are some pictures from the banquet.

Looking good!

Walking through the sabre arch (sorry it is so dark) Receiving his award

I don't often get the chance to say that I proud of my husband, but I am truly blessed to have Ben for my husband. He works hard at home and at work and this award just goes to show that he is good at what he does!!!!

Random pics

So I take pictures, don't have time to blog, and then suffer from kidnesia (amnesia caused by having kids.) So I will do my best to try to label these pictures. Who wears short shorts? Audrey-these were Logan's when he was first born. Since Mommy was on the computer, Logan thought that he should be on his little laptop and say "Cheese!" The next few pictures of Audrey in her hat and bootie set that Emily made.

Cute feet

I think she might be trying to sing in this one.

I am not sure if you can tell, but Audrey is keeping a close eye on what her brother is doing.

Working on my tan

Logan enjoys being outside and we have a fenced in back porch that he enjoys anytime I have the doors open. One day I heard the back door close, so I figured Logan went outside. After a few minutes of not hearing him, I went to check on him. This is what I found... I decided to go and bring Audrey outside to enjoy the nice weather. Logan saw that I had the camera and wanted to take some pictures. Here are the pictures that Logan took. I am not sure what happened to his pants, but what better way to work on your tan than without them. I think he was using his hands as binoculars. I am not sure where this kid comes up with some of this stuff.

Look what I found

Logan tends to disappear back into our bedroom when I am busy tending to other things. Sometimes he changes the thermostat on our bed. There have been times when he had it set to 100 degrees, other times it is 60. But this day he found some of Ben's old glasses. Yes, glasses just stay on better when they are upside down.

How I entertain Logan

There is quite a difference between how I entertain Logan and how Ben entertains Logan. Since the weather had been really nice, I decided to take Logan outside. He loves to play ball ALL the time, even if he just has to play with a tree. He also enjoys pretending to play the guitar, also known as his broom. Finally, Logan LOVES his sister. He is always giving her kisses and even tries to climb into her swing with her. PS- No one was hurt in the making of this video

How Ben entertains Logan...

I left Logan and Audrey with Ben and Kara while I went shopping at the JBF sale. They found this to be the best way to entertain/keep Logan out of trouble/and give him a treat. Ben said that the spatula was so clean that had his tongue been sanitized, it could have been put back in the drawer. Look at my mustache!
