Logan's First Birthday

Sunday was the first birthday of my best friend Rachel's little boy, Logan. She and her husband, Vic had a great little party for him. Being the scatterbrain that I am, I brought my camera, but forgot the memory card! This was especially disappointing since I forgot my camera for my sister's wedding the day before. Anyway, I'm so happy that Vic (who is a great photographer) took some pics of the kids for me! Thanks Vic!


And one pic of Aidan. My silly boy spent most of the party inside playing. Here he is actually outside. Both my kids loved this golf toy, though. If I find one, I'm getting it! And I can't talk post about Logan's big day without at least one pic of him! I stole this off of Rachel's Myspace page...I hope you don't mind, Rach! I think this is probably one of the cutest cake face pictures ever!

Beating the heat

Yesterday I took the kids up to Memorial Park. They have a nice splash zone and playground for the kids in our city. The kids had a good time running around the splash zone, then Aidan decided he wanted to play on the playground equipment. Of course, I had to bring my camera along for the trip! I always feel like a bad mommy when I get home and realize I take more of Addie than of Aidan. I guess that's because she's right by my side, while Aidan is running around. I do have to admit that I was a bit snap happy because of how cute she looked in her swimsuit!

My Aidan

I got Aidan to cooperate (at least a little) for a mini photo shoot today. As I've mentioned before, he's not a big fan of the camera. Today's trick was asking him what his favorite candy is. It sort of worked. I found out today's favorite candy is Nerds. The problem was he avoided eye contact like the plague. I actually got lucky with this shot, and am quite pleased with it! I can't decide which edit I like better, so I'm including both.And while my focus was pretty off on this one, I love his expression. This is just "him".

A little bathtime fun

Last night I was giving Addie her bath and she was just having a blast! I haven't taken a picture of her at bath time in ages, so I grabbed the camera! She gave me this funny face. We call this her "Chuckie" face...you know the doll from the movie "Child's Play"? This is a more mild version of it, but she does it all the time!
