Thank you Jesus

Tonight we were coming home from dinner and the moon was just stunning. It was a full moon tonight and as we drove toward our house, it was peeking over the mountain. I kept pointing it out to Austin (Kristen was with her daddy in another car and Logan was not sure where to look) and he got so excited about how big, and pretty it was. I was in such awe that I kept saying, "It's so beautiful, look at it Austin, it's just beautiful!". He would repeat me and say, "It is SO beautiful." After a few moments I heard him say, "Thank you Jesus".

I smiled ear to ear and thanked Jesus too.

What's happening...

I can't believe Logan is 18 months old. It's just too fast. He really loves life which is so fun to watch. Here is what he is saying at 18 months:

He is really into cars and trucks and driving them around. He has started to have some interest in watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He loves to hit and throw things no matter what it is. If he hits you he will give you a hug when you cry. Logan likes superheroes, like Batman, Spiderman, and Superman. He loves to dance, especially to Journey. He eats lots of foods and just recently has started to enjoy salad. When he wants your attention he will come and hit your leg, walk away, look back to make sure you are following him. If you aren't, he comes back and gives you two hits/slaps in the leg. He loves sports..especially the ones with balls. He will watch sports on TV, mostly basketball and football. He is hilarious and loves to make others laugh, especially when we are eating dinner. Good times, all the time with Logan.

Austin is a curious little bug, who's mind just doesn't stop, ever. The questions flow from his mouth all day. I love this about him. Once he asked why bugs are smaller than birds. He's smart. We like that here. He loves learning about the human body and space stuff. He really enjoys TV, too much, and playing on the computer. He loves school and loves his sweet little friend Eden. He tells me he misses her often, especially when it's a non-school day. Austin likes to whine, we try and stop it. Some days we are successful, some days we are not. Austin likes to do gymnastics and is really getting better at swimming. We are super proud of him.

Kristen is enjoying Kindergarten. She loves math, and pink pages at school, which are reading comprehension and writing pages. She has become quite the journaler recently. She will write pages when given a good topic. I love this about her. She is reading and doing exceptionally well. Her comprehension impresses me also. She's a smart cookie too..we like that. She is also doing gymnastics which she lives for and tries to do more "tricks" at home. (always wants to show off an handstand or two) She is in Girl Scouts as a Daisy and enjoying making new friends. Her dedication to school work is incredible. She gets to school sits down and does her work without being asked multiple times. I love this. She also likes to roll her eyes at me and give me a little attitude here and there. When she goes to her room she stomps her feet and sometimes slams the door (this is not allowed). We are trying to work through being frustrated and how to deal with it properly. We love our K-girl.

Life is good. Just doing the normal daily doings. I would like to be doing other crazy things on some days, like sitting by the beach, or pool. Soon those things will happen. I am enjoying the day to day stuff, most days. I love the kids excitement about life...it's contagious, especially on days when I am beat. I also like coffee when I am beat or a diet pepsi. They seem to do the trick.
