That's What He Said

I was on the computer logging out of Ebay and there are always ads on the log out page. One of the ads was for Geico with a picture of the gecko. Logan was looking at the screen, pointed and said, "Gecko!" I looked at him and said, "You know what that is? Where's the gecko?" He said "Right there!" and pointed to it. Gosh he's smart!

The Swing Set

Logan has a swing set! We've been looking in to getting him one and they're just so expensive. Jared's dad mentioned there were pieces of one left from some previous homeowner. So they put it together and Jared's mom stained it-it looks great! All we had to do was buy the swings and the rings-not too shabby considering we were looking at spending at least $350. Logan couldn't be happier-I have to admit I've gotten some use out of it too :) I love looking out the window and seeing it-it brings back memories of when I was young.

That's What He Said

Logan and Jared were playing hide-and-seek tonight. Logan was counting, "Two, four ready or not here I come!" He would go all over the house saying "Daddy where are you?" He'd look behind something and say "Nope!" and move on to the next spot. So cute!!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend-it was really busy but we definitely had a great time. Saturday morning was a double bridal shower which was Pampered Chef-I love that stuff! When I got back from the shower I had to make a pasta salad for dinner at my parents house Saturday evening. When we got back from my parents I made dessert for dinner at Jared's grandparents house. It was such a fun weekend-lots of family, fun, and food. And of course egg hunts and chocolate!

I love wreaths-and this one from Target caught my eye.

My Favorite Things of March

March blew by in a hurry (I think my head is still spinning) so I'll try to remember as many things that I loved in March as I can.

My new Kitchen Aid slicer/shredder attachment-I haven't used this yet but I bought it in March so it counts right? I wanted a food processor but those things are so pricey and this does everything I would need a food processor for and way cheaper-win win! Plus I didn't pay a dime for it-gotta love Kohl's.

Spring cleaning my house. I try to do this before we have Logan's birthday party. I go all out even lemon oiling ALL of the wood work in the house. As much as I don't like doing it I love the result.

Logan's birthday of course! (Even though it may be a little bittersweet-I can't believe he's two!)

Ravelry-I don't think I've mentioned this one before-but man am I addicted. It's a website dedicated to knitters and crocheters and I could spend an entire day on there!

The weather-holy cow it's been strange-80 degrees in March? I'm not complaining though I'll take it over snow.

I'm sure there are way more things that I loved in March but like I said I spent a lot of time cleaning and the other time knitting :) If I wasn't knitting I was on Ravelry looking at all the things that I want to knit. Well I hope all of you had a great March-we did here at the Scott's house!

Logan's 2nd Birthday Party

Logan turned 2 on March 11th. How time flies! We did a Dr. Seuss theme and it turned out great!

These are all the decals we had placed all over the house.

Of course Jared thought one belonged on the toilet seat ;)

Aw-one of those rare family pictures :)

Yum! I love birthday cake!

Giant pile of presents-this kid isn't spoiled is he?

Logan and Grandpa playing with trains

Great Grandpa couldn't resist-he had to join in for the fun

I never took a good shot of the food- we had "green" eggs, sausage and cheese with crackers, veggies and dip, goldfish crackers and punch.

I also used Dr. Seuss books for decorations-we had a blast and Logan loved the gifts he received. It was an all around great day.

Favorite Things in February

There are a couple of things that I really loved doing in February such as:

Making homemade pizza from scratch. I've made pizzas before but have never made the dough or the sauce. It turned out really well and I plan on making it at least once a month to replace the frozen pizza we use as a backup meal option for my late days at work.

Having Logan help me make pizza dough! He loves to help! Not just in the kitchen but with anything. I figured it was about time to let him help me with the mixer-he's always been fascinated with it. Now if only I could talk Jared into getting him a play kitchen for Christmas ;)

Checking my pedometer. This sounds totally OCD but I'm obsessed with looking at my pedometer. I have to wear one for the Wellness program at work (it includes a heavy discount on my insurance) and have to have at least 49,000 steps a week. I thought it was going to be a pain but I actually really like it. I can tell why I'm tired at the end of the day when I have accumulated 12,000 (2000 steps is a mile) steps. Working in surgery really is a physical job! I have also found myself taking the long way around and not getting so annoyed when I've forgotten something in the other room-I just think "Ooh! More steps on the pedometer!"

Planning Logan's 2nd Birthday party! So excited!! And can't believe he's going to be 2!

Selling bags on Ebay. I've been selling the bags that I've collected over the years but don't carry. It's going really well and I'm making some extra cash. I'm thankful that I have a shipping expert around-and that his bosses don't mind when he does this at work.
