Weekend fun

Our weekend has been a lot of fun. On Friday night we had our friends the Washburns come over for dinner and fun. We have not hung out with them as a couple in three years so it was really nice. They brought their little girl Abby who Logan loves. He kept poking her eyes and crawling all over her and laying on her. That doesn't sound good but that is how a one year old shows affection. It was fun to see them interact, and nice for us to be able to talk and reminisce. It was so much fun we decided to make it a monthly thing. Hopefully we can make sure we do it.

Here is Logan and Abby playing with the camera bag together.

One of Logans many maulings!

I just had to put this picture in. Logan LOVES this mickey hat. Everytime he sees it he gets it out and walks around so proud in it. What a goofy kid.

Also this weekend my sisters took Logan to the safe kids fair with his uncle Lincoln and his sisters. Unfortunately i forgot to send my camera, but they said he had to much fun. We are also going out to dinner with David't siblings tonight and then on to watch the Jazz game at his brothers house. Busy weekend but so much fun!!

Its been a long time!

He loves his new car seat!! Yay for him finally gaining weight!!

Wearing Daddy's tie! He loves to wear ties like daddy and also has shoes like daddy that he loves!


Alright so i think this is the longest i have gone without posting since i started my blog. Really just not much has been happening. We had playdate on Wednesday, but just went to a movie. So no picture taking opportunities there. Last night we went and hung out with some some friends that we have not hung out with in a long time but once again didn't take any pictures. So i figured i have to post about something and one thing that happened that is very exciting for us is that we finally put Logan in his new big boy car seat! We have been waiting a long time for this. He has been too low in weight. When i weighed him on Friday he was finally over 20 lbs. He was 20 lbs. 4 oz. He still is a little short for it but we think he is alright to be in it. We love that we can just turn around and see him and see what he is doing. Thanks mom and dad for the great carseat you gave us for Christmas for him!!

I also posted a picture of Logan in David's tie. He loves finding David's ties and always puts them around his neck when he finds them. He is such a funny kid. The things he does crack us up!! We couldn't have asked for a better child. He is such a joy to have in our lives.

Happy Birthday David!!!

Today is David's 23 birthday!! I cannot believe how time flies. I know 23 is not very old but that means David and I have been together for almost 7 years now. I am so lucky that i am with this amazing man, and that i get to continue to be with him for eternity. He is the most wonderful husband and father. I couldn't have asked for anyone greater. I am so greatful that he is such a hard worker. He works so hard and makes it so that i get to stay home with our wonderful little boy everyday. It is such a great blessing not only that i get to stay home with Logan but that David wants me to be able to stay home with Logan. David and i have been through a lot together and wouldn't change any of it. Thank you for being so amazing babe!! Logan and i love you so much and hope we made you birthday great for you!! We love you!!

Bowling

Yesterday for playdate we decided to go bowling. It was so much fun. We had more people than usual because kids were off track. We had me and Logan, Annie, Leslie, my mom, Emily, Lincoln, Ariana, Mckenna Ashley, Jenson, and Davin. We had a contest boys against girls and the boys won by about 20 points. Bummer for the girls. I did break 100 though. I think i needed the bumpers more than the kids did. Logan was a wild wild boy. Last time we went bowling he was content sitting on the table. Not this time. He was walking all over the place. I could barely keep him in one place for more than a minute. Plus he started this screaming thing the past week where if he doesn't get what he wants he screams. Not just cries but screams. It is really obnoxious!! It was a really fun playdate though and i am glad more people could come. We did miss Elana and Layne though. They had just gotten back from South Carolina and so Charlie took the day off work so they could have a family day.

Logan at one of his various locations throughout the day.

Annie was so cute bowling. Mckenna would set the ball down for her and she would push it with her hands. The screen had how fast the ball was going and i think the fastest it ever went was 2 miles per hour. She would stand there waiting and turn around and say its still going!! Then when it finally hit the pins she would turn around and squeal. So cute!!

The hospital is no fun!

As i posted earlier Logan has been sick. This is going to be a long post so just bare with me. So saturday morning our dr office called just to check up on him. It was a nurse and she said she was going to write it all down and tell the on call dr. Well the on call dr called back and said we should consider taking him up to primary childrens if his diaper wasn't wet that morning. Well it was so we didn't worry about it. And he had only had one bad diaper that day, he also hadn't thrown up since thursday at 11:00 am. He still was not eating or drinking unless we forced him though. Well later that night he all of a sudden threw up again. So as were were reading our scriptures that night i said do you think we should call my dad and have him come help give Logan a blessing? We decided to and they came over and we talked again about taking him to the hospital. After my parents left we decided we needed to. I hadn't showered all day because i got a little bit of what Logan had(no throwing up though) and decided to hurry and shower. As i got out Logan all of a sudden started throwing up a lot. That just reiterated that we needed to take him. We figured they would put an iv in him and we would only be there a couple hours. Boy were we wrong.

So we get to Primary Childrens at about 11:30 that night and it was so crowded. It amazes me how many people were there. It was a half an hour wait for them to weigh him and take his temp and then another hour and fifteen minutes to go back to the room. It was then another 30 minutes til anyone came back there. They decided he was dehydrated so they decided to put and iv in. We forgot Logan's binky so we knew it was going to be bad for them to poke him. It was!! He cried for an hour and a half after that. They were giving him fluids and found out his glucose was low so they also had to pump some of that into him. After being there for three hours a resident came in and said we would probably have to stay the night but that an attending would come in and let us know. An hour later the attending came in and said we had to stay and that they would be getting a better room ready for us. by this time it was 4:00 am and they didn't come in to get us for the new room until 5:15. I had not slept at all so i was so ready for the new room.

After a while Logan was doing really well and playing so they said we would be able to leave around 1:00. Well he still didn't want to eat or drink so they said well maybe 3:00 or 4:00. At 3:00 Logan threw up. So they said they didn't know when we could go home. He threw up again at 3:30. It was so sad cause he didn't have much in his stomach because he didn't want anything. So i went home and got more jammies for him and stuff for us in case we had to spend the night again. When i got back David's parents were there and they hung out for a while. After they left we just concentrated on getting logan liquids. Since he was throwing everything up he could only have sip every ten minutes. Which was fine with him cause he did not want the gatorade. However he did want to nurse at times and i could only do it for two minutes and then pull him off. He was so mad. Well then my parents came and hung out for a while and kept him happy. He could not leave the room at all cause he was too contagious. He wanted out so badly!! After a while the dr came in and said since he hadn't thrown up in hours we could go home and also i could give him a full feeding. They said he still might throw up a little and have diarrhea but just try to keep him hydrated. We were so thrilled to go home. However, when we got home Logan threw up twice and had a terrible diaper today. It has been so stressful. Today i have been doing the two minute nursing again cause that is all he will eat or drink and he hates it. Hopefully we can get this kid better soon!

They put warm packs on his hand to try to get some veins showing.

His iv in his hand. Everytime he woke up in the night and looked at it he cried. He kept showing it to David and i to try to get us to take it off. It was really sad!!
