Is it just me...

...or is it super annoying to move pictures around in a blog? Seriously! Maybe I'm missing out on some neat tricks that I could be using, but it seems like it's such a pain. First of all, they won't insert where you want them in the blog. Then, it's super slow to move them. Oh, and why is the window where you type up the blog so small? (Whine, whine, whine.) It seems like with all of the technology these days, someone could fix some things on blogger. But, maybe then it wouldn't be free. Well, I just needed to vent after that last post. I couldn't get one picture to move past the other, so after several tries, I finally just re-downloaded it. Maybe I ought to download the pictures before I add text. Hmm...

Creative Ways to Dunk

Our little Logan LOOOOVES to play with balls - any type, really. He loves to rebound then pass it to us and watch us shoot, he loves to just carry them around with him, he loves "dribbling" his super big bouncy ball (that we finally bought at Target after he had so much fun with them during several different shopping trips), and apparently, he loves to dunk.

I was in the kitchen cooking the other day and looked over to see what Logan was up to. This is what I saw:


On another note, Logan learned how to take the bed off of his dump truck so he could ride it. I thought it was pretty cute. Oh, and, he has decided that he has to make a squinty-eyed face whenever I'm about to take his picture. I guess it's his "cheese" face.

San Antonio

We recently returned from a great trip to San Antonio. Thank you, Garrick, for landing a little job giving a presentation so that we could go along for the ride. What a neat city! Did you know that it's the 7th most populated city in the U.S.? You never would have guessed from how easily we were able to get around (traffic-wise). We were lucky to have mom join us for our little stay. Logan was a great sport as we dragged him from thing to thing and didn't always accomodate his nap schedule like we would at home. In fact, I think we really wore him out. He fell asleep on both legs of our flight home. If you know Logan very well, you'll know how shocking that is. In fact, I think it was the first time that he's fallen asleep on Garrick since he was just a wee lad.

Here's a quick rundown of the highlights of our trip...

...the Riverwalk - a gorgeous walking path through the downtown area, right along the river. It's hard to capture with photos, especially at night, but you can at least see a little bit.



...the Riverwalk boat tour - taught us a little more about SA history

Sorry, no pictures of this.

...the Alamo - Who would've guessed it's right in the middle of downtown?


...the SA missions - great history and Logan loved running around


...the Tower of the Americas and the Charthouse Restaurant - great view, moving floor, excellent food

p.s. Those holes in the bottom of Logan's mouth now have little white teeth poking through. When they're in, he'll have all of his teeth except his wisdom teeth. Crazy!

...Texas bbq and pecan cobbler (so yummy!)


...el mercado - fun shops and great musicians

Don't Try This at Home

Sorry about all of the videos lately. We recently downloaded them from our memory card to the computer. I put Logan on my lap the other day, and we must've sat at the computer for 20 minutes just watching his videos. (I think that might be the longest that he's ever sat still.) He loved it. One video would end, and he would point to the mouse for me to click on another. So fun! Anyway, I realized that we can't post videos without posting this one.

One of Logan's favorite things at gma and gpa Peterson's was the treadmill. Garrick had the great idea of letting Logan "ride" the treadmill. He loved it! He would ride, get off, give the "more" sign with his hands, flash us a huge grin, and we'd put him back on for another ride. It was all fun and games until...we had a little accident. Luckily it was just little. Logan's finger somehow got caught in the treadmill, and he ended up with two pretty yucky treadmill burns on one finger. So, as much fun as this appears to be, you might think twice before trying it at home.

Future Concert Pianist

This is just the second time that Logan has sat down at the piano on his own and provided us with a little concert. :)


You Can't Catch Me

Logan's all-time FAVORITE thing to do is play chase. He LOVES it!!! Here's a little clip of Garrick and Logan playing chase.


What a Swing!

Logan has been swinging a bat (with help) for months now, but we were still shocked by how well he did on his own just the other day. Here he is:
