Vitamins !!!

So this morning when I tried to give Riley his daily vitamin with his breakfast this is what he said:

Mom: Riley take your vitamin and get it over with please.

Riley: Mom I can't take my vitamin. I have to eat my cereal before it gets all wet inside.

I swear he can be so funny sometimes. Of all the reasons not to take your vitamin. It took him almost 30 mins. just to put it in his mouth and chew and swallow it. My kids act like it is poison or something.

Logan Turns 9 !!!

Holy Cow where did the time go??? It has been 9 years since I gave birth to my amazing little boy, who now is not so little. Logan Bud Gunn was born November 1st,2000 at 5:45pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 15oz and was 19 1/2 in. I was a week over due with him and had to be started. I was in labor for a total of 8 hours, and it was worth every minute. In the nine years since then we have watched our amazing son grow in so many ways. We have struggled and overcome so many obstacles. We are so proud of how Logan takes everything that is thrown at him with a positive attitude. Logan is one of the most caring, kind hearted kids I know. He brings so much to our family everyday. He is a great big brother most of the time, and actually helps out with things at home quite often. In Jan. of 2006 Logan gave us the scare of a lifetime. He became so sick and when we took him to the hospital and they diagnosed him with type 1 disbetes it was one of the hardest times in our life's. We came so close to losing him and I never want to go through that again. Everyday is a gift that I cherish more then anything else. Logan has taught us, and many others so many things. We are so extremely proud of him. We love you so much Logan. Happy Birthday Buddy !!!

Halloween 2009

Every year for Halloween we have the same tradition. I make homemade chili and apple cider and take the boys trick or treating. After we hit most of the houses in our nieghborhood we came home ate, handed out candy to kids, and watched Halloween movies. It was a lot of fun, and the boys looked so awesome in their costumes. Once again when it was all over the boys picked 10 of thier favorite candies and sold the rest to my dad for $15 each. I love this for so many reasons!!!

Halloween Class Parties

Well once again it was time for Halloween class parties. I was once again the Head Cub Mom for Logan's class. The kids had so much fun with all the games we played and treats. I had a great team of Mom's that were willing to help. It is always so much fun to see all their costumes. Logan's teacher really gets into Halloween. She even did a pumpkin carving party and then taught them a Halloween line dance. I didn't get to help with Riley's class party, but I did peak in there for a minute and they were having a lot of fun.

Pumpkin Carving Party

Last year my dad started a new family tradition. Every year now we get our pupmkins and go up to my Dad and Step Mom's and have dinner, carve our pumpkins, and then have dessert. It is so much fun to get together and spend time together. The pupmkins are always all so different and fun. This year we didn't have any pupmkin guts fight but it was still fun. The kids are getting so big and make it even that much more fun. Thanks so much Dad for starting a new family tradition.
