This year, the birthday was a wonderful thing. Logan understood that we were celebrating mommy and daddy was very cute about getting him involved and talking to him about it the whole week before. A lot took place in the three-day celebration, starting on Friday morning with my two sweet boys going to Whataburger and bringing me back my favorite breakfast (and even serving it in bed)! It was so yummy... especially now that I can eat the things I love and not throw them up! Praise God!
After eating, I was given my present... surprise, a new camera! All the pics in this post were taken with my new Canon... something I wanted, but didn't ask for and was very pleasantly surprised. I'm impressed with Jeff's ability to surprise me and am very thankful that he went with his choice of gift and not what Logan had wanted to get me... Logan thought that I would want a bag of rocks... after many suggestions Jeff gave him at the dinner table Thursday night, Logan said yes to the bag of rocks idea and said, "Mommy, you want a bag of rocks?" When I said no thanks he asked, "You don't like rocks mommy?" OH, BOYS!
So, Friday afternoon we went to my parents to celebrate and I got to open more presents... maternity clothes were definitely in the mix (though I'm still wearing my regular clothes at the moment!), along with lots of other little goodies. My brother made my busy life a lot easier with a blue tooth and I am very thankful for that! We had a nice dinner out at Outback (again a place I chose, solely because I was excited about being able to eat normally again and I was really excited about the Aussie cheese fries- yummy!).
On Saturday, my brother took us to Chuck E Cheese's (wondering here if it was mine or Logan's birthday!) and we had a very good time. Logan LOVES Uncle Mike and who wouldn't love the 30yr old big kid with pockets full of tokens for all the fun games!?! Here are some pics of them playing together...

Mike doing some serious concentrating.
He LOVED all the "driving" games this time... so that was something new!
Playing air hockey... as best he could!
High fives for Chucky... no fear here!
And some hugs too. He wanted to follow him around everywhere.
In the afternoon, Logan had a birthday party to go to for my friend's 2yr old Cameron. Logan was THRILLED with the theme of Thomas and had a great time playing with trains and eating a Thomas cake... He was telling me on the way home that he wants Thomas at his next party, but can we please have Percy and James too? I think he wondered if they were left out on purpose and wants to make sure that doesn't happen again! Haha!
Wearing his conductor hat!
Happy Birthday Cameron!
Saturday night I got to go out with some of my friends from church... it just happened to be ladie's night out the same weekend of my birthday and we had a very nice time! We went shopping in Market Street after dinner and I got to spend some birthday money, so no complaints here!
On Sunday after church, Rachel and Joel came up for the day. This was the first time that Logan was immediately ready to see and play with her on one of our visits. It definitely shows how much he is growing up that he isn't needing "warm up" time when we have visitors or when we visit friends. They had a blast playing together and she brought Christmas to us in March... we hadn't had a chance to get together around the holidays, so our holiday was a little late this year! Thanks Aunt Rachel for the wonderful games... I love to watch his little brain work at figuring out the LeapFrog match up game! Here are some pics from their visit.
Jumping with Aunt Rachel.
Making her bounce!
A little time with Uncle Joel.
Getting some serious air!
The whole weekend was a very busy one, but tons of fun for all! We have another busy week ahead with a trip to San Antonio starting early tomorrow morning, so I'm sure we'll have more to update after a visit with the Curries. The pregnancy is going well... I am 15+ weeks and go to the doctor again today. If there is anything to report, I'll be sure to let you all know!

You can have my leftover Thomas stuff if you do this theme!
Oh - and Logan *totally* won that pin the one on Thomas game. :)
Glad you are feeling better in time for your birthday.
