Messes Welcome

Tonight, Logan and I made Zwiebelkuchen together from the cookbook I received for my birthday (a few weeks ago). This is one of the few times I actually enjoy my kitchen becoming super messy. If it ain't messy, ya ain't havin' fun! Logan is such a good cook and it turned out tasting delish.

The Summer Break Adventures begin!

Our summer started off with a bang! :P

This morning, Logan had his very first t-ball game! His team color is light blue and they are called The Dragons! The game was so amusing and exciting. I found myself laughing out loud several times because the players were so adorable. Let me paint the picture for you; ten children in the out-field (ages 5-7). When the batter would hit the ball near them, they would stand still in their assigned positions and would just stare at the ball, making no attempt to retrieve it. One out-fielder bent over to watch the ball roll between his legs. Other out-fielders would pile up on top of the ball, competing for it and often times they would emerge empty-handed, having lost their mit as well. It didn't take long after the first inning for the children to catch on, though. There were impressive hits and throws throughout the game, as well. It was really fun and I'm SOOOO happy that my sister, Sheree and her hubby, Nate, were able to be a part of it. It was AMAZING to have their support and witness their excitement for Logan's success during the game. Maybe next game, the weather will cooperate with us a little better. Despite the winter chill in the air, the kids were awesome! This is gonna be a great t-ball season, I can tell!!

On Friday afternoon, JT and Logan packed up and headed out for a Stake Father and Son camp-out. While I wasn't there and therefore have little to say about the occasion, JT did bring home pictures for me to post. So, enjoy!

Summer....Break?

Ahhh, Summer-break is upon us...or IS it?

My son, Logan, emerged from his Kindergarten classroom for the final time today. As he did so, he appeared to be an older, wiser version of the little boy I dropped off that morning. During our walk to the car, classmates and teachers wished him a "Happy Summer". Unsure of what that really meant, he would reply, "Sanks!"

Now, I'm not sure about you, but my summer breaks, growing up, were filled with endless free time shared with friends. Free time. It seems that now-a-days summers are filled with just as many scheduled activities as there were during the school year. However, despite the tight summer schedule, I'm confident Logan will enjoy every bit of it. I am the one who will miss sleeping in on summer mornings, as I did in my youth.

Let the summer break adventures BEGIN!
