Logan...oh how I love you!

We are constantly banging our heads, crashing, falling and scaring mommy half to death around here.  But it has been awhile since my heart has sunk..

That is until my kiddos were taking their baths and Logan jumped up and slipped and hit his teeth on the soap holder and well, this is what happened :(

So sad!

His front tooth is totally chipped and I am heart broken about it.  He cried and cried and his little mouth was bleeding for quite a while.  I was so scared to even look at what happened but when I did, I quickly grabbed the little tooth out of his mouth and off his tongue and saw his little chip.

 These pictures were taken the next morning when he was feeling A LOT better!  I am so glad that he is okay and SO grateful that it is just his baby tooth (although it still makes me sad for him and his adorable smile)

 Love him!

Who gave him a PB & J sandwich in the car?

Oh wait...his silly mom who thought he maybe could stay a little clean

NOPE!

 I love this picture so much because this is how I will remember my almost 2 year old Logan this summer.  He is constantly on this little bike and just loves it!  He feels like such a big boy and looks so cute scooting around.

This little cutie cracks us up with his blanket.  He isn't like Jax who absolutely LOVES his blanket and still has to restrain himself from holding it.  Logan has never completely "needed" his blanket and doesn't really ever ask for it even but every once in awhile when he's been sick or really tired...he just loves it and always puts it on his head...not sure why at all but that is how he likes it.  He is so cute!

And well...I don't have to say anything about this picture do I?

He is adorable! And is always smiling and happy.  Well, almost always.

I love you so much Logan!

Love the summer rain!

Bring out the umbrellas...a summer rainstorm is headed our way!

These kids are so cute!

They had such a fun time playing in the rain.  We were playing inside for a while and then once the rain started, we just had to go check out the rain and yes...everyone had to have an umbrella!

 *Nick, Jax, Logan, Ella, Rio, Austin & Sam*

 "Quick!  Make a shelter!"

 They did a pretty good job actually trying to get under the umbrellas and make a little shelter for themselves - sillies!

 Me and my Logan loving the rain with Spider-man

*Don't mind my weird surprised expression - kids look cute!*

Love these summer rains!  

Keep 'em comin'

Very first swim lessons for the triplets

I postponed doing swim lessons last year and so this summer we've started with the triplets.  They did so awesome and honestly are kind of natural little fish :)

They love to swim and absolutely love to be in the water.

I was really amazed at how well they did and every time we've gone swimming since, they have done so well and kept up what they've learned.

Ready to learn...

They were a little cold after getting out but loved every minute of it!

Okay, time to practice!

Go Austin!

Jax, you're up cutie pie

Dive Rio!

Rio swimming from the middle to the side

Austin doing the same...

I never could catch Jax swimming but he did awesome too! 

So proud of you guys!  You're very  brave and strong little swimmers!

Triplet Play date "summer" style

We have to thank Angie for hosting our little play date.  The kids always have so much fun together and just love playing.

Ang had everything prepared for a water fight battle :)

Grab you balloons kids and...

...let the battle begin!

Boys on one side and girls on the other.

Logan was not going to choose a side just yet so he chose the middle

They all loved it and had so much fun going back for more balloons

And little Blake just sat and "cloud gazed" - he is such a cutie pie!  Love him to pieces

After playing hard in the sun, Austin decided to dress up like a dragon :)

And my strong little sweetie Rio just decided to do a little rope hangin'

After all the fun, we cooled off with a Popsicle.

Little buddies Logan and Karson thought they were so funny looking at each other while eating theirs.  They are so cute!  Can't believe they are going to be 2 in the next few weeks!

Foulger triplets 1/2 birthday party June '14

My friends kids bday is just prior to Christmas so she feels what I do with our triplets having their bday right after Christmas.  It is hard in so many ways so she avoided it all together this year and did a 1/2 birthday party instead.

It was so much fun!

They did a pirate theme and went on an awesome treasure hunt to get things started!

Pirates, gather around for your first clue...

okay, where is it?

Cake time!

Running with swords!

Steve is Roxy's husband and he was so fun with the kids.  He let them chase him forever!  A great daddy and Pirate :)

Opening our gifts to them

Cutie kids!  These 3 triplet buddies love to play!

Sidewalk Chalk and Otter Pop Time!(again)

We are so grateful for our area and our friends which I've said before on this post.

It's so fun for the kids and they have a blast together every day!

This day we decided too do sidewalk chalk and these cuties had so much fun.

However...Rio "accidentally" drew on our neighbors area and I told her I would have to erase it and therefore, she was not a happy girl (hence the face)

*Ella and Rio*

*Nick and Austin*

Look at all that beautiful artwork from these creative little kids!

I think I've gone through about 2 or 3 boxes a month of Otter Pops!

These 7 kids love them and we're more than happy to provide them.

Another Otter Pop anyone?

Crazies!

1st Hike of Summer 2014

First hike of the season and we were so excited to start!

We went with our best hiking buddies, the Foulgers.

This hike/stroll was around Silver Lake and was absolutely beautiful.

The kids were so excited to see these little duckies...

...the poor little things probably thought they'd get fed though.

Um..yah..that's snow.  Your eyes aren't deceiving you :)

The kids all thought it was pretty cool to see snow again in the summertime.

They had a blast and yes, Logan was drenched because he couldn't get enough of it!

*Avery, Jax, Austin, Reese, Lucas and Logan*

Austin and Jax - they love hiking as high as they can go

Look at these adventurous little ones!

Logan admiring his choice of walking stick :)

You all did it!

Great job kids!

*Reese, Rio, Austin, Jax, Lucas and Avery with little Logan running away*

These guys never cease to amaze me with their toughness and attitudes!

My Fab 5!

Love you kids and I'm so glad you love being outside just as much as mommy!

Where shall we go next??
