It's Been 1 Week Since

"you looked at me" (Bare Naked Ladies).  No really it has been 1 week since I blogged about anything!! I really wanted to come on and blog but we've been enjoying some delicious spring weather here in NJ!! Last year Logan was an infant during the spring/summer so I've been soaking up all of his expressions and the new sights with him.  So I'll back track (as far as I can remember, LOL)

3/15/2010: HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

We did nothing! Absolutely nothing, sadly. NO corn beef with cabbage. NO parade for us (it was happening on our TV though), NO going to the bar and drinking all day but we DID wear Green!!! I did happen to snap a pic of me and Logan on St. Patty's Day.

3/18/2010: We ran around and enjoyed the sun (no pics tho)!

3/19/2010: Logan had a playdate with a friend of mine and her son. We took them to the park and he LOVED it, even though he was a little unsure! Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but my girl friend took pics with her phone and sent them to me!!! Here are a couple.

Logan playing with Michael.

My cutey patutey!!

Trying to figure out the tunnel!

Saturday: HAPPY SPRING!!! We went down to Logan's grandparents house to get away from home for a little while.  Saturday we took Logan to an historic town called Smithville. It was cute but crowded so I didn't let him out of his stroller.  Here he is with Grandma Mary

On Sunday Logan went to the Cape May Zoo with his grandparents while his Daddy and I took a detour back to Smithville, where we bought a cute little tealight lantern for our new home in Cordova (we hope, haven't heard anything yet).  

Anyways Logan was soo amazed by the reptiles..yuck..I think Grandma Mary snapped some shots of that. We enjoyed a taco dinner that night, as well as, Logan, gave him a bath and came home.  Whew. Long but fun weekend!!! I also learned how to make flowers that looked burnt for a scrapbooking page I'm working on. Will post about that later =)

Birthday Pictures, Parades, and Cooking Oh My!

I miss relaxing weekends sooo much, yet I wouldn't change my crazy, memory-making weekends for anything.  On Saturday, Chris and I took Logan to get his first BIRTHDAY pictures! I wanted them to be so perfect, I bought him a new outfit and even debated getting him a haircut. Alas, the haircut did not happen and I'm happy I didn't! I wanted to buy ALLL of them, except the Easter bunny pictures, because he looked absolutely terrified! Haha. So here are my 3 favorite pictures that were taken.

Ok, ok I fibbed, four of my favorites!

Today we went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade! It was such a gorgeous day, with 63 degree weather and beautiful sunny skies.  It made me feel so good! I wanted to take a walk, even though I was exhausted! Ha! Logan was dressed in his little Irish sweater and cap and one of my favorite pics of the day was this one.

Thanks to the beautiful weather as motivation I made TWO meals!! I'm not going to lie I'm completely exhausted as I sit and write this. Chris made coffee, at my request, and I'm in love with International Coffee's Hershey Chocolate and Caramel flavor! I may go for a second cup.  Anyways, I made Baked Potato Soup, which I got from a fellow blogger's site, Delicious Dishes!  It was amazing! Although easy, this recipe again challenged me to exit my comfort zone because I had never made bacon before! Yes, you read that correctly! I also made Beef Stew, in the crock pot, using a recipe taken from a website online (I can't find the print out so when I do I'll add a link for the recipe).  It's so easy and I just love my crock pot so much that I'm always making it!  And it's sooo good too =)   ♥
