HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!!!

Logan is four years old today! We had his party last night because Eric is getting his Rituxan treatment today and we weren't sure how he'd be feeling tonight. Mason kept reminding Logan that yesterday wasn't his real birthday, so in his prayer that night he said, "thank you for letting me have a fun birthday party, even if it was pretend."
We had a "Backyard Birthday Bash" and since Logan doesn't really like cake, we made "dirt" cups out of pudding.
We had some organized games, but the kids pretty much preferred to be on the trampoline all night. Thank goodness for the free trampoline I got from a lady who attends my classes at the gym! From left to right there is Nicholas, Hunter, Logan, Jackson, Thomas, and Mason.
Crazy boys!
Mason was so disappointed that we didn't let Logan open the gifts from us at his party. He knew what they were and I think he was more excited than Logan to open them this morning!
Finally this girl loves her dad. It only took her about a year to warm up to him!
The three girls - ages 18 mo, 14 mo, and 16 mo. We called them the scavengers because after the boys abandoned their plates, the girls would go around collecting all the scraps. Yummm...healthy!
Here she is being a scavenger...
Not wanting her dad to take the spoon away...
And very happy to have one more bite!

Here are some of the funniest quotes from Logan the last few weeks/months (I'm sure there are a 100 funnier things, but this is what I can remember at the moment):
"This bologna is slimy, but the slime is delicious!"
As we entered the CO state line after driving from PA, "We're in Colorado? I don't see any big bull elk!"
After playing with 9 and 11 year old neighborhood girls, "I just LOVE LOVE LOVE big girls!"
While watching the same girls out the window, "Mom, how old do I have to be to get married?"
"Girls and boys both have nickels, but only boys have peanuts, right Mom?" (can you guess what nickels and peanuts are?)

We love this kid! Happy Birthday Logan!

That is hilarious. Nickles and Peanuts? That's great. I am glad Paige is warming up to Eric. My girls are obsessed with their dad--almost to the point where it's ridiculous. You guys all look great.
