logan's 2nd birthday

One of the major things I missed sharing was Logan turning 2.. which I'm really disappointed in myself for not at least posting the pictures. It was a lot of fun, and I know there are probably a million things that happened that day that I would have loved to share, but can't remember now. I'm at least happy that I got a ton of pictures that I can share now, even if it has been a few months..

At the time, Logan was obsessed with the movie "How To Train Your Dragon" which meant that was the type of party we had to through. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy.. I tend to pick themes that aren't really popular.. Oh well, we managed to get by. Viking hats, and swords as the kids goody bags, a Toothless pinata (toothless is the dragon from the movie), some dragons around the house, and a big bouncy house was enough to satisfy our two-year-old. 



Logan had us relight his candles at least 10 times.. guess he had a lot of wishes





this is Toothless




We kept the party pretty small, which made it much more laid back and enjoyable. We ended up getting to keep the bounce house for the whole weekend, which was probably Logan's favorite part of the entire weekend.. Hours and hours of jumping, and lots of memories.

wellllll...

I know, I know.. Its been so long that I am almost embarrassed . I'm not going to lie.. the last few months have been pretty insane. Mike and I hit a rough patch, and learned that we are both human, we both make mistakes, and that we both love each other so much, and managed to make it through a tough time. And let me tell you, just because things aren't going right, life doesn't care.. it still goes on whether you are ready for it to or not.

 On top of our love lives getting a little bumpy, my work life has also become a little hectic. By the time I get home almost every night, its time to get Logan fed and in bed, which has taken a major toll on me as a mommy. I come home so tired and worn out from the day, that all I want to do is sit and relax.. and my two-year-old just wants my attention. It kills me every day to think I'm not being the mommy he needs. But then he has his moments where he runs to hug me, kiss me, and ask me to "cuddle, cuddle, cuddle mama" and I feel better. I know being a stay at home mom has its downsides sometimes, but I have to give props to all those moms that work full-time with young ones.. its definitely a battle. 

Anyways, enough excuses as to why I haven't blogged.. I know its late, but my only resolution this year was to keep up with my blog, and so here I am, attempting to actually do my resolution. (lets be honest, not many people do..) Instead of making one big blog post of everything we've been doing the last few months, I figured I'd break it up into a few different ones. Even though I haven't blogged doesn't mean I haven't taken pictures. We got a new camera, so naturally, I couldn't resist the urge to snap some photos.

I just want to say thank you to the family and friends who were patient with Mike and I while we worked everything out, and I am sorry for putting everyone through the stress. I wish that I could take everything back, and that I could take away all of the hurt that was caused during that time. Guess people don't lie when they say that marriage is tough.


for logan.. 
Baby, I am sorry you had to deal with mommy and daddy fighting, and although I know you won't remember any of it, I will, and nothing makes me feel worse than thinking that you might have been hurt somehow in all of it. We love you baby boy, and we promise to do our best for you. 

for mike..
I am beyond sorry for everything, and I promise to do my best as your wife to make sure you know how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. Thank you for fighting so hard, and for your help to bring us back together. I love you with all of my heart.
