"fork and knife"

Logan and I are funny.


So, I got back from Idaho a couple days ago. We went up to hang out with Logan's family and it was a fun trip. Everything is super green right now, and the weather is sunny and perfect.

While we were there, we were making breakfast one morning, when we decided to brighten everyone's day with a little surprise....as seen here:

oh man. We had to hurry and sneak do it while everyone was out of the kitchen, and then we anxiously waited the next morning for someone to make eggs for breakfast. There is just something super funny about opening up a carton of eggs and finding these guys inside.

After his Mom had discovered them and we decided to make eggs of our own, I could hear Logan over by the pan whimpering "I'm sorry!" to the little eggs as he cracked them open. There is just something so hard about cracking them when they're looking at you so pleadingly...

"I've got my rock moves!..."

Happy June!

I know, it's a little late in the month to be wishing everyone that, but I love June.

So...we have a lot of birthdays in the family this month, 8, actually. Including baby Nathan. Here we all are, (Uncle Michael, Tamara, Me, Logan, Curtis, Savannah, and Tiffany) except Nathan was havin a little rockin party elsewhere. He'll be old enough to join us when he turns 1. :)

Melinda decided to throw us all an amazingly rockin birthday party on Saturday. And when I say rockin...I mean it. I got my concert ticket in the mail, and I was all set to go. We got our hands stamped when we went in, and beforehand we filled out a survey of the best concerts we've been to...ones we'd like to go to...best stories...and we stood onstage while their pictures were displayed. Um...hello? Who wouldn't want to stand on a stage with giant pictures of Jonny and Taylor and the like next to them? ... I guess everyone doesn't have the same dreams as I do. It was awesome.

So anyway, there were tons of things at the party to turn yourself into a rocker, and everyone was looking mighty rockish after awhile. We all got songs and performed them, too, like we used to when we were little...which was a hoot. I never knew my Uncle Mike had such sass! It was pretty amazing. I'm debating whether to post my group's video or not. Perhaps not.

Another successful party and another rock filled day. *sigh*...what a great weekend. We're awesome. Thanks for the party, Melinda! It was a blasty blast.
Oh yeah, sidenote: so the whole day I'm trying to play with Carly, and get her to come to me- which she only did occasionally. Insert saddest picture of the day here:









And then later at my house I was coaxing her into watching The Little Mermaid with me and telling her all about how handsome Prince Eric was, and she was okay until Rebecca walked into the room- then she was a goner. Which is understandable, cause she's always been like that with Becki. But THEN, Becki left, and I thought I had my chance. No such luck. She wasn't havin' any of it....when out of nowhere, so walks up to Logan, scoots her little self over til she's all snuggled up, and cuddles with him while they watch the movie together! Excuse me?! I just looked at her and said, "Really, Carly? Are you serious?" and she glanced at me for a second, got up and reached for something, and then scooted right back in to Logan again. I'm so sure! Some people's kids...
