9 Hours @ the Ballfield & What Do You Get???

Logan showing off his medal

we spent this past saturday, ALL DAY, at the ballfield for logan's T-ball tournament.  we had to be there by 8:30am, needless to say we were up & at it EARLY on saturday morning.  logan was pumped & ready to get some big hits, or as he says, "jack it to the fence."  he did a great job batting & playing 1st base, he's definitely gonna be a baseball star, just like his big brother!!  (oh yeah, big brother devin had a game to play in stilwell, so we had to miss his game.  had to send him w/ another teammate...he WON by the way!!)  logan's games started at 9am & well, after several hours of sweat, gatorade, & determination, he finally got to walk away with a 3rd place medal.  as we were walking to the car, i thought to myself, "9 hours at the ballfield & this is what we leave with...a 3rd place medal & a sunburn..."  logan sure was PROUD of that bronze medal though & i was PROUD of him!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

i had fun asking logan these questions & waiting for each response.  it's amazing how the mind of a child works & how they actually see the world they're in.  they're definitely watching each & everything we do...therefore, make sure you're setting the best example possible for them, leading them in the right direction to prepare them for the best possible future. 



    

Logan's a Kindergarten Graduate

It's official...Logan has graduated Kindergarten!!

I could not have been more proud & sad all at the same time.  Sitting there in the crowd, watching my BABY on that stage, singing sweet little songs & telling everyone the sounds of the alphabet...all i could think about was, this is my BABY...my youngest, graduating kindergarten today.  i have no one behind him that's gonna get to do this someday.  this is really it, it's over for me.  as they showed the class slide-show full of pictures of all the fun things they've done thruout the year i did the best i could to hold back the tears.  i'm not sure why those things are so emotional, i mean, it's full of FUN pictures...lots of smiles, there's not one sad thing about that slide-show...i honestly believe it's the music they have playing along w/ it.  that's where all those emotions come from.  well, i managed to hold back my tears enough that i wasn't a complete mess.  it was a very cute program & all the graduates were as cute as could be...they were all so TINY.  it really hit me as the slide-show ended, the final thing showing was this:

"Class of 2023"

Wow!!!  that seems so far away, but i'm sure it will be here before i know it.  these past 6 years have flown by at such a fast pace...from a sweet, tiny baby boy, logan has grown a little bigger & a little smarter each year.  his personality has blossomed & i'm amazed at the love he has in his heart.  this past school year i have witnessed him learn to read, to recognize money, learn how to use the computer, do simple math, learn some about basketball & baseball & i am SO SO PROUD of him!!! 

i would like to share some photos from the graduation...what a memorable day that will always be for me!!!

Logan w/ his teacher Mrs. Roberts...we will miss her!!

Logan is 6 Today!!!

Logan Nathanael Weese

Since today is Logan's 6th birthday, i've made a list of my 6 FAVORITE things about this sweet child, so here goes:

1.  i LOVE that Logan is a ROCKSTAR in every sense of the word

2.  i LOVE that he wants to be just like his big brother & looks up to him so much...especially when it comes to BASEBALL

3.  i LOVE that he's a good helper around the house...w/out even having to be asked to clean up after himself he just does it

4.  i LOVE when he helps me cook/bake in the kitchen...he's quite the little chef...lookout Bobby Flay, there's a new kid in town

5.  i LOVE Logans' precious baby blues, his eyes are gorgeous...everyone thinks he got them from his daddy, but i have blue eyes too...so i'll take half the credit for those

6.  last but not least, i LOVE his tenderness & compassion he has towards his sister...i LOVE when he makes her laugh & i LOVE his sweet nature

i LOVE you Logan Nathanael Weese...

HAPPY HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY!!!
