Nap Time

I couldn't resist taking this picture of Logan yesterday. I went to get him out of bed since he'd been asleep for 3 1/2 hours already, which is a long nap for him. And this is what I find. Logan all curled up in his blanket. He's such a sweetheart and it's hard for me to get pictures of him while he's sleeping. When I open his bedroom door, he usually wakes right up. He was really konked out.



In other news, my dad is going to give me my sister's car and I am going to give him the Buick. Oh and her car is a Cavalier, which I'm super excited about because it'll save a butt load on gas. Vince found someone who was looking for a Durango and trying to get rid of her car in the process which is a Grand Prix. So we will be trading the Durango for her car. Craigslist is so awesome!! We just put it in the barter section and within a few days had a lot of people looking to trade.

My birthday was this past Tuesday and I had to work. I could have requested it off, but honestly there was really no point. I'm 25, what's the big deal about working on your birthday once you hit a certain age. It didn't bother me too much, but I wasn't expecting anything from Vince. Once I get home, I see a gift bag and Vince says that it's from Logan, lol. It was some scented oil and a holder that has a candle and will warm the oil and keep your house smelling good. I loved it, since our house always kinda of weird odor. I think it's from the old owner and all the animal urine that soaked into the floor. On hot days, sometimes you can smell a little something. So this was a perfect gift! Then Vince gets me his present and it's a Wii Fit Plus. I'm always complaining about not having time to exercise so Vince thought it would be a good idea. I can't wait to try it out, but I have heard that it can be mean. Like when you step on the board it will say "Ouch" like I'm fat or something, lol. I already know I am, I don't need a video game telling me too. We picked up some Chinese take out for dinner and watched some tv on the couch. Nothing too fancy, but I really enjoyed it!!

An Update

Ok, I'm doing really bad at blogging lately and I apologize. Things have been crazy lately. We are on the hunt for a new car. The Dodge Durango we have eats gas and since Vince drives to Mossville every day for work, we figured we should look for something with better gas milage. This car, the Pontiac G6 has really caught Vince's eye and I like it too, but right now I'm not sure we can afford it at $14,990. Doing some research we found the same car with more miles on it for $3000 less. So we'll see how things pan out.

Logan is going through a growth spurt again. He's been able to fit into his 12 month clothes and even some of his 6-9 month clothes for awhile still and I was hoping he could wear these throughout the summer. Boy, was I wrong! He can't even fit into his 12 months anymore. Thankfully it is spring which means garage sale time. Yesterday Tremont had their townwide garage sales and I found some great clothes for good prices. A few houses were selling their baby clothes for a quarter each, you can't beat that!

Work has been a little hectic too since we are so short staffed, but have just now starting hiring more people because we were on a hiring freeze. And some good news is that I might be switching shifts at work. I currently work from 11-7 and feel like I'm missing out on alot with Logan. My boss informed me that one of the girls in the morning will be leaving and wanted to know if I wanted her spot. Of course!! I'll now work from 6am-1:30pm which leaves my whole afternoon with Logan free. I'm so excited!! Vince is also working his way up at his job. The supervisors really seem to like him and in just a month he's moved to a building that pays better and then became a forktruck driver. So he's already gotten a couple raises. We're going to enjoy it while we can before child support and the unemployment he has to pay back starts coming out of his check because then he won't be making anything.

I've also added a food blog search link to the gadgets in my blog. This thing is awesome!! Just search for a recipe and any food blog that has this recipe will pop up. I'm really liking it :) So give it a try.

To end this blog, I decided to try and upload a video. My first time trying this, hope it works and it's taking forever to upload. Anyway, this is Logan climbing up our stairs. He's getting pretty good at it, but still can't get back down yet.
