Last week was spring break for Jordan. Ma and Papa went to Las Vegas for the week, so I just worked Mon, Tues, and Wednesday. It was great, infact I forgot how great it was. I think starting in April I will be going back to that schedule. Unfortunately it rained almost all week. So Monday Dean and I took the kids swimming. Bad mistake! It was so crowded. Then Tuesday, Joanne and I took the kids to Crash Crawly's. Another bad mistake!! It's a good indication that it's busy inside when you see two big school buses outside. Oh well, the kids didn't mind and that's what matters. Jordan, his best friend and I played laser tag while we where there. I'd forgotten how fun it is! Dean and I used to go with some friends before we had kids. We'd laugh so hard!! Jordan wants to have his birthday party at Planet Laser this year and I think it's a great idea. But...seeing as though we had so much fun, I'll be taking the kids before as well.
Dean and I celebrated our 10 wedding anniversary on March 22. It was kind of funny, cause I didn't even realize it was our anniversary until I was talking to a girlfriend on the phone around 1pm. We didn't do anything because we are planning on going on a cruise. Our idea was to do a Carribean cruise in Nov, but now I realize that's hurricane season. And can you really see me on a boat in the middle of the ocean in hurricane season? NOT!! So, I'm not sure when we will go. Jan/Feb was a plan, but I think that we are going to go to Disneyland again. I'd totally give up the cruise for a week in Disneyland!!
I put Logan in trampoline lessons this week, but that didn't go so well. He wouldn't jump on the trampoline, and only wanted Jo Jo. He cried and cried. So, he's probably too young and as much as thought he's ready, I guess he's not. He's been really funny since Mom and Dad went to Vegas. Doesn't want anyone out of his sight. When I tell him I have to leave he says "Are you coming back?". The good thing is as long as he's with Dean or I or Mom and Dad or Nana he's fine.
Gonna see my girls Friday night as we plan our Road Trip 2007 to see Marly in Quesnel. We aren't going until July, but hey, gotta plan early!! Can't wait to see you ladies.
Dean and I are playing ball this weekend out at softball city. I know I said that I wasn't going to play, but they are short, and I can't leave them shorthanded. It'll be fun, especially knowing that this is probably the only weekend that I'll play ball for awhile.
Well...back to work now...So I'll catch up with y'all later.
Love
Me!

Happy Birthday Logan!
3 years ago today at this very moment I was at the hospital getting prepared for a scheduled C-Section. Mommy and Daddy very so excited to meet you. I was little scared about the delivery because your wonderful big brother had such a scary and traumatic delivery, but it all went well. About 4 weeks before mommy had you, I had an ultrasound. They told me that you were already 8lbs and that at birth you were going to be around 10lbs. Well, in typical Logan fashion, you proved them wrong. My beautiful little boy came out weighing in at 7lbs 3oz's!! You were a great contented baby. You nursed very well and slept good as well. After 2 nights in the hospital mommy couldn't wait to take you home. So I begged the doctors to let me out early and they agreed provided I took it easy when I got home. Well, I did sort of, but you were such a good baby that I had lots of time to get things done. I think back now, and I can't really recall a night or day that you cried more than 5 minutes. Your big brother was so proud! He was very good with you and loved to kiss and cuddle you. Did I mention that he picked your name because it was the super hero Wolverine's real name? He was so excited to pick your name!
I look back at the last 3 years and wonder where the time went. You have brought so much joy to our lives. You're little temper and very determined personality reminds us all of mommy. Maybe that's why I have a hard time getting mad at you. You sure know what you want and I have no doubt in my mind that you are going to achieve alot. Your sense of humour and the way you always laugh was graciously given to you by Daddy! Some of the things you say just make me shake my head, laugh, and say to myself "you are daddy's boy".
Today we are having your birthday party at Crash Crawly's. You are so excited that you are having a birthday! Jo-Jo got you a Nintendo DS ( and no, I can't believe that I'm letting my 3 year old have one) and I know you are going to be ecstatic when you see it!
You really made the true of the terrible 2's term but you also showed mommy and daddy what fun 2 can really be. While you were getting into all the trouble that you get into, mommy and daddy were secretly laughing. You know when we'd turn around and walk away after you did something wrong? Well...that's only because we didn't want you to see us laughing at you. You were not getting away with it, because we'd generally regroup, then come speak to you. You and your brother are the light of you dad and I's lives. We can't imagine what life would be like without you. Everyday we are thankful for having you two. I can't wait to see what fun and excitement the next year is going to bring us.
Happy Birthday baby! I love you very much,
Mommy

A little behind in updating!
Okay...so I'm not doing to well at posting once a week. I gotta get on that. It's been so hectic around the house that when I get on the computer it's just to check emails and nothing else. I haven't even responded to my emails. So if you've sent me one and I haven't responded, PLEASE don't be offeneded. I love ya all, but just have been so damn busy.
We have 2 Japanese students with us. They came last Saturday and will leave this Sunday. Just 2 weeks. They are 17 and very pleasant boys. Unfortunately it was so miserable this weekend that I couldn't do anything with them. Friday night I took them to Dean's hockey game, which they really enjoyed. Saturday I dropped them off at the mall to do some shopping, and Sunday I took them to the movie store to rent a couple movies. I was very surprised that they didn't rent something in Japanese since their english is not good at all.
Jordan's doing really good. His guitar is coming along great! He is really picking up speed and it really sounds musical now. He's got all his basic notes down pat and can totally read his music. Now he's working on the chords. It's a little challenging for him since he strums with his affected hand and it doesn't "flow" as great as a "normal" hand would. But in typical Jordan fashion, he will conquer it. That reminds me of how every night when he went to bed I would say to him "Who's the king of the world?" and he would reply "ME!" Then I would say " Who can conquer anything?" and again he would say "ME!". I've tried so hard to drive that into him and now I think it's starting to pay off. Yesterday he had the baseball glove on and I was throwing the ball to him. He would catch it and use his affected hand to take it out of the glove and throw it back to me. After awhile of this he said "Mommy, I think I want to play baseball next year." YEAH!! I was hoping inside of me that one day he would even though it's gonna be a huge challenge for him. Then he said " But I don't think I can be pitcher cause you have to turn your hand over and I can't". I told him that that's only in softball or slo pitch and that in the kind of baseball that he will play they throw it over hand and that he would be able to. His whole face lit up. I have already decided not to play spring/summer ball this year. Well, before you all think that I've lost my mind, I did say that I would "spare" where needed. I want to spend more time with the kids this summer. We do bring them to the ball park with us, so either Dean or I end up sitting or even someone sits and watches the kids. I don't want that anymore. I want to watch my own kids! They love coming to the park, riding their bikes and playing in the dirt. Jordan can bring is bat and glove and I will have more time to play with him. I still have many more years in my career, so one year won't hurt.
Logan continues to be a challenge. He's a total monster! He has such a mind of his own. We laugh daily at the things that come out of this child's mouth. Just amazes us!! I could go on and on about the mischief that he causes but well...I'll save that for when I got more time!
