What a Day!!

What is the saying, when the cat is gone the mice will play? Gary is in MN all week for school so we are staying busy and having fun. I am about to pass out and it is only 3:27 in the afternoon. We were in the car and on our way to Indy at 7 am for an eye apt. for Logan. I have to record my love for Logan and her ability to talk to strangers. I have been noticing this more and more. Last Friday, she had her haircut with a girl she had never met and talked the entire time. Today while she was having her eye exam, I was trying to keep the boys in line and quiet. I tune into what she is saying and I hear, "and then you turned into a Dr." She just keeps the conversation flowing, I LOVE THAT about her!! No glasses at this time, good to know, off to the Zoo. I had not anticipated Logan getting her eyes dilated, so everything was too bright. We quickly solved that by Logan wearing my sunglasses the whole time. I didn't have my camera today. I really tried hard to prepare, I even brought the camera but left the batteries charging at home. Not too bright!! It wasn't until the last 30 minutes did I remember to use my phone.
This was my kids favorite thing today, it is a new exhibit this year where they could pet the sharks. Very cool. My favorite part was seeing an entire elephant under the water, only the trunk sticking out of the water, swimming. So incredible. I could have watched for hours. There are baby bears this spring and they were in the water swimming too. The animals were very active today which made it very fun. We left lots to do since I left my money in the car and couldn't ride anything. We are excited to go back with Gary SOON!!!

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
