Family Picture's

Sunday, October 16, 2011 by My So Called Life
I know I am long over due for a post but for now I thought I would share our family picture's. The photographer http://www.chaleabryanneblog.com/  was great and I am sad she moved out of state. I have to admit we have not had picture's done for a year. One big reason was my weight (entire post coming soon about my weight loss). I have lost a little over 30lbs and feel great. I have not been in the 140's since college sad for me to admit but yes you can do the math. I had so much fun shopping for clothes this time because when I looked in the mirror I was happy. Amazing how losing some weight can change your attitude for life so much. When I got my proof disc I found myself smiling because I was proud of myself. I felt like I could look at these pictures and be happy. I will send them out in christmas cards and give gifts with no self esteem issue. It has been a long hard struggle for me but I won the battle with my body. 




This is my favorite of me and the boys!










I am so in love with this man after 11 years I still am amazed by his love.





He is not a baby anymore is he? When I look at this picture I am one proud momma.




This one will be going in my living room blown up.


Hope you enjoyed..........

Birthday Party

Tuesday, March 22, 2011 by My So Called Life
Happy Birthday to my Big BOY!


 Logan celebrated his 5th birthday this past weekend. I am still in shock that my son turned 5. I still remember his birth like it was yesterday. Becoming this little boys mom was one of the best days of my life. He has added so much love to my life. It is amazing how fast they grow. I feel like I blink and he is another year older. I try to slow down and enjoy my time wit him because before I know it it will be gone. The best advice my mother gave me is to always take the time to spend with your children. She told me there will always be time for dirty dishes, laundry and a clean house once they are gone. So if you visit my house might not be spotless but you can find me in the boys room playing farm!

The birthday boy requested homemade pizza for his birthday dinner! 



 His favorite part is getting to put cheese on the pizza. He loves to spend time in the
 kitchen with me cooking.


 I spent the last three weeks planning a huge party for Logan. We invited his entire preschool class and by Thursday last week I had 48 RSVP's YIKES. Growing up I never had huge birthday parties. Yes my husband thinks I go over board but I love to make there birthday special. I rented a local community hall and it was perfect for the party. The kids had plenty of room to play and run. I didn't have to worry about a messy house or things getting broken.




 My mother-in-law makes the kids birthday cakes every year. The last two years has been really fun because Logan can pick out the cake himself. We spent hours looking at cakes and he finally picked out a few he liked. I really enjoyed planning his party with him this year. He knew exactly what he wanted and who he wanted to invite.




 We couldn't have a party without the main chartacter's!






 This was the best family picture I could get!


I found this awesome puzzle for the kids to color at the local party shop for only $5.00. It was so much fun for the kids and kept them very busy.



 Sunday was Logan's actual birthday! We took him to the park for a picnic and to ride his bike. The weather was so nice and Jason was actually off work for the day.










Logan preschool party was today! Once again my mother-in-law did a great job on the cupcakes I found online. She can recreate anything I come up with.


Logan helping grandma pass out cupcakes for snack time. He was so excited to have mommy and grandma at his school for his party.



I hope that looking back Logan cherishes the love and hard work that goes into his birthday weekends. Now I have to go think about having a 5 year old that starts school soon.
