another year

today was my birthday. i turned 33. having a birthday inevitably makes you stop and take a look around. do you like what you see? are you happy with who you've become? i find myself quite content today. i woke up this morning at peace. it was raining outside. i love the rain. i went downstairs to find hubby blowing up balloons and logan, both still in pjs, running around the kitchen, sippy cup in tow, holding a balloon himself. both of their faces lit up when they saw me come around the corner. who needs gifts? i already have all that i could possibly want or need.

we ventured out into the cold, wet day. headed to disneyland. we have season passes already so today, i received a "fun card," essentially a disney gift card to use as i pleased since it was my birthday. i have never been to disneyland when it was pouring down rain. at least, i don't remember a time. thankfully, my sister-in-law, amanda, had warned us to buy ponchos before we met up with them. we may have been cold and wet from the rain today but it didn't dampen our spirits. we giggled throughout the day at the mere sight of each other in our oh so fashionable ponchos. we didn't stay too long today. enough time to go on a few rides. logan actually enjoyed peter pan. it was too wet to try dumbo again. i'm sure he would have loved that one too.

later tonight, i opened gifts and we had delicious chocolate fudge cake. mmm. . . thanks guys! i truly feel blessed. thank you to all of the birthday wishes out there. here's a cute shot of logan from this past sunday. i know i have a lot of blogging to catch up on from the past few months. keep checking back because i plan on getting to it very soon. . . .

"happy birthday mommy"

16 months

logan is now 16 months old. he continues to amaze me every day. these days he is like a sponge repeating words. he now says, "please" while nodding his head "yes." just tonight i heard him repeat "thank you." my all time favorite is "no, no, no" while waving his finger back and forth. jee. . . wonder where he got that one! :) he is such a loving and wonderful little boy. love you loges. happy 16 months.

our sweet logan

today is a day that will always be very special to me. two years ago today, the san diego fertility center helped chris and i become parents. we will never forget what they did for us and we will forever be grateful. we love you logan.

15 months

we have been very busy lately to say the least. work has been hectic for both chris and myself. we've also had the pleasure of family and friends coming down to visit. my parents, auntie juju, our friends the dionne's, and just yesterday, our friends, the waxler's. i will post very soon about all of our adventures and visits. today, i realized i hadn't posted yet about logan turning 15 months yesterday. he is doing so well and is so much fun! here are a few recent pictures of our sweet baby boy. love you loges.

Cousins Trip to Disneyland

about a month ago we headed down to san diego to finally take chris and amanda and co. to seaport village. since they've lived near us in temecula, we haven't really shown them the sights we know and love in san diego. here are a few pics from our day. :)
