Birthday Celebrations

Posted on September 8, 2009 by Nancy

As you know, Logan turned 2 on Friday. We celebrated on Saturday with Nana, Grandpa, and Aunt Cathy.

Grandpa makes shaped cakes. (You may remember Tyrone from the twins’ birthday this year. Or Elmo and McQueen from years past…) And not only does he make them, he frosts them with the BEST icing ever. (powdered sugar frosting. YUM.) Logan’s very first shaped cake was none other than Mickey Mouse himself:

Mickey Mouse Cake

The Birthday Boy

Logan's Fire Truck

"Look! Cake!"

Mickey's Nose Tastes Pretty Good

Logan's Balloons (from the day before)

Love you!

Pictures from the Lowell Spinner’s baseball game we went to a few weekends ago.

We were in the *3rd* row!!

Each kid going in received a baseball bat

Mommy caught a (very soft, thrown-by-an-entertainer) ball for Burke

It only rained a little

We had a great time 🙂

Water, Water Everywhere

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Nancy

While up in Vermont, we took the kids swimming. They had only been in the “little” kiddie pool in our back yard before…never a big pool or a lake or anything else. They LOVED it all. (I shouldn’t be surprised – I spent all of my childhood summers in the town pool or Lake Champlain.)

As you can tell from previous posts, we’re in Vermont visiting Grandpa and Nana.

Picnicking with Nana
(Marjorie, Burke, Logan, Nana)

Grandpa built a fire so we could make S’mores!

Logan: "I'm not so sure about this..."

Burke: "Let's roast marshmallows!"

Marjorie: "Do you think this stick is long enough, Nana..?"

Burke: "Thanks for helping, Uncle Jason!"

Logan: "Do you think this stick is long enough?"

Cousin Grey: "HA! MY stick is gigantic!"

Aunt Sharon: "Ah! It's on fire!!"
(Burke, Nana, Marjorie, Aunt Meghan, Aunt Sharon, Cousin Grey)

Burke: "Sticky!!"

We ended up with four little kids with quite the sugar high…

“Tractor” rides all around

Grandpa and Logan

Logan was a little … ripe.

STINKY!!

The Bug Parade

Logan, Nana, and Marjorie*

Then the City Band concert in the park. Nana is the conductor. (She’s the one waving her arms off to the right.) If you look closely, you’ll see her name on the bandstand…it was built for her!
