Logan woke up to lots of kisses and hugs and singing. After we got ready for the day, he immediately found his birthday present from Mommy, Daddy and Dylan. He was all smiles when he saw his own personalized chair....
he climbed right up on the chair and "tested" it out.
His other present is picked out by Dylan: a sing a ma jig. It's the new hot toy for the holidays. Logan stares at it, sticks his finger in the mouth and cracks up!
His last gift - a book title "On the night you were born..." It's our new favorite bedtime book to read
He was fascinated with the candle. Instead of blowing it out, he kept wanting to grab it. If Daddy wasn't right there, we might have had a little bit of an accident. the best part - eating the cake mmm... so good follow it up with a tall sippy cup of whole milk even Dylan got into the fun of eating cake
On the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, "Life will never be the same"... you brought wonder and magic into the world. (N. Tillman)
For a long time, we planned, wished, longed and prayed for you. We knew we had so much love to give and share. A year ago today, you blessed our lives in so many ways.
Anxious, scared, excited and nervous, we wondered how we would adjust to an addition to the family, the changes in our daily routine and the nights of sleeplessness. You fit right in with your cuddly personality, sweet cries and soft laughs. Days and nights were smooth because we were right where we belonged.
For the past year, we've watched you reach your milestones from cooing at the sight of Daddy, belly laughing endlessly with your brother and quickly crawling to Mommy's arms. We especially adore your charming, laid back, tender, sensitive personality.
Everyday you encourage us to laugh, challenge us to love unconditionally, and inspire us to be better parents. Because of you, our family is filled with so much life.
We wish for you on your birthday and always to know how much we love you and how proud we are to be your parents.
Just more toys to add to ALL of the other toys we already have. At least now, he'll know what it's like to play with brand new toys =) No more sharing with Dylan's old toys. he's so excited.. can you tell??? Thanks for all my toys, clothes, books, stuffed animals, and cash =) How lucky am I?!?
Today we celebrated Logan's birthday by having a party fit for a rockstar. Friends and family came out to celebrate with us and we had so much fun. The kids jumped up and down in the bounce house, played with the ride on toys, and took turns on Thomas the train. The hit of the party was Big Jeff signing to the kids.
Logan's red velvet rockstar cake was custom-made to fit our theme. The cake/ice cream cone microphone and chocolate guitars were absolutely adorable. An added bonus - it tasted delish.
Endless hours spent on putting together the goody bags for the kids and babies. Mommy even made homemade chocolate lollipops.

Thanks to Lolo, Lola, Grandma, Uncle Tommy and the Valdez clan for cooking some of the good food, helping us set up and clean up.
