Getting Closer!!!!

Evan is so excited about Addi coming. He talks about her all of the time. Only a few things he has said worry me a little. One day he will say that he is going to wrap her up in my Snuggie and hold her like an angel. The next day he will say he will only hit her a little and that he is going to take her for rides in his car. I'm sure he will figure it all out. He loves her so much already, it touches my heart when he talks about her. He hugs & kisses my belly every day and talks to Addison and tells her that he loves her. He said from the day we told him I was pregnant that she was going to be a girl. I can't wait to see what the future brings and to see the bond that they are sure to have.

I keep promising Amy that I will post pics of myself. Quite honestly I hate looking at pictures of myself, but I will do it anyway. :-) Jason said yesterday that he has some friends that you can hardly tell when they are pregnant...I definitely do not have that problem. He was just being obnoxious of course. I look like I swallowed a beach ball. ha These pics are from a few weeks ago, she has grown a lot since then.

Snowball Fights and Sledding

We took Evan sledding for the first time and he loved it! He has had so much fun in the snow this year. He has had lots of snowball fights with Wheatley, with Daddy and a couple with Mommy. Nana even got her share of snowballs thrown at her. Grandad was a party-pooper and wouldn't have one with him. :-) He tries to shove Wheatley out the door with him so he can throw snow at her. She loves it and tries to catch the snowballs and eat them. Here are a few pictures of him in the snow.





Although I love watching him have so much fun, I am so OVER IT!

Baby News

We have officially decided that our baby girl's name will be Addison Starr Webster. Evan is so excited to have a sister and we are excited about her too, of course. He talks about holding her and sharing his toys with her and hugging her. I hope that he keeps the enthusiasm after she is here and he sees how boring newborns are. Well they are boring to toddlers, anyway. Moms and Dads do not get bored with a newborn around. They just get tired. :-) I will try to post a couple of the good ultrasound pictures that I have. I get to have a third ultrasound on the 17th. They are checking me for a problem that I hope and pray I don't have....or else it's bed rest for me.

I have started looking in our area for a preschool to send Evan to this next school year. I never knew how overwhelming it would be to think about. I am pretty bummed about public schools in KY, I didn't realize that you have to be in poverty for your child to go to preschool. They took my information, but it sounds like we will have to pay for a private school in order for him to go anywhere. Wherever he goes, he will love it, because he can't wait to go to school and make lots of friends. I hope he feels that way once he goes. Because if we're paying, he's going whether he likes it or not, ha.

Nathan is almost finished with his clinicals to get his Paramedic license. Now he only has about 500+ hours of ride time to do before he can take the "final" test to get his license. I'm really proud of him, he has worked so hard and he is still working hard to complete his ride time before Addison is here. I know he can do it. He has another plan for after he gets his Paramedic license, but we won't get into that just yet. :-) After all, he's the man with plan.

Merry Christmas

Wee Ball

This summer Evan played Wee Ball. It's teeball for 3 year olds. I was so nervous about it for some reason. But he had such a good time. It was a lot of work for the parents too, we had to sit out in the field with them, etc. But the kids really enjoyed it and they were hilarious to watch. Here are just a few pics. Thanks to Grammy, Poppy, Nana, Charla, Blake & Eli for coming to one or more of his games. He loved it when you came!!

It's Been a While!!!!

So I know I have been in trouble with some of you for a while for not updating our blog recently. We've been super busy with everything lately. But here goes. We had such a good time when everyone came into town for Christmas. It was so much fun and so nice to see everyone. The kiddos are getting so big, I just can't believe it.

I know Evan sure does miss boxing with Jackson. Ha. He told me "that boy" hurt me. But I told Evan he hurt "that boy" just as much. So they were even! They both had the battle wounds to prove it. I have never seen two little ones fight like they did! We were thinking they would be best buds, but instead they were like the worst enemies that two year olds can be. :-) They did have fun together, but they were sure not afraid to let each other know when they weren't happy!

I think my favorite day was when we went to the zoo and before anyone was really sick. We had so much fun that day, I really enjoyed it. I can't wait until it gets a little warmer again so we can go.

Here are some different pictures of when everyone was here. I didn't get many pictures, so I would really love for someone to email me some or send me a CD. I kept "losing" our camera when it would really be under my coat or behind the recliner or whatever. It was hard keeping track of things with so many people at Mom & Dad's. Love you guys & miss you bunches!! P.S - today is my last day of the Associate's program at IWU! On to the Bachelors! I am taking a couple of months off of school, but then right back to work...

Fun, Fun, Fun!

Nathan and I were on vacation last week, but we didn't really go anywhere. It was still so nice!!! We did a lot of fun little things and had a WONDERFUL & RELAXING time off. I actually got more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep for several days in a row. One thing I realized about myself though, is that I need a routine to keep me from being too lazy. It is so easy to be lazy! But it was nice to be lazy for once. On our first Saturday, Nathan, Evan and me went to my employee event at work. KFB rented out a wing at the KY Fair & Expo center and we had a huge indoor carnival. It was so fun! Everything was free, rides, drinks, carnival food, lunch, etc. He even got Nemo painted on his hand! We had the best time. We were there from 10:00 to 2:00, then Evan took at nap at Mammy & Grandad's & then we went to Blake's birthday party at Mr. Gatti's. He had the best day and so much fun. Boy was he worn out, he didn't get to bed until almost midnight. But he slept really well! Here are some pics from that fun-filled day.

"Jeremy Syndrome"

Nathan and I have noticed in our son what could only be described as a genetic mutation from the Logsdon gene pool that has been passed on to him. Sometimes when we are talking to Evan, it is really hard to communicate with him. Even after tapping his shoulder or arm or saying his name repeatedly (at least 4 or 5 times), he just stares at the television like only one other person that we know - Jeremy. So one day when Evan was doing this, Nathan named his condition "The Jeremy Syndrome". Even though Nathan doesn't know Jeremy as well as my other two brothers, Jeremy has shown this side of himself every time he comes to visit. But don't worry Jeremy, he doesn't take it too hard, after all, he knows Jason, Michael & Amy so he understands the Logsdon's just aren't all there. I thought it was really funny that he called it "The Jeremy Syndrome". So now any time that Evan completely ignores us, we say that he is in JS or Jeremy mode. Sometimes we just resort to calling Evan Jeremy.

We still love you Jeremy, even if Sports Center comes first. :-)

Thanks for all the Support!!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those involved with my recent hospital stay. As you may well know I was hospitalized over the weekend for an acute bout with gastrointestinalittis. I was given an IV with copious amounts of fluids and multiple amounts of drug therapy. It was touch and go for a moment but I survived. I did have to leave my car overnight at the hospital but if that's what it takes for me to be here today then it was all worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat!! So once again I say THANK YOU for all your support and phone calls.

Evan's First Night Away

Since Evan was born, we had never spent a night away from him. But when Aunt Charla and Uncle Mike asked if he could spend the night last week, I thought it was a great idea. Daddy was not so sure, which was really funny. Nathan was going to be off the next day and he kept saying, but what am I supposed to do while Evan isn't here? I asked Nathan if he wanted me to tell Charla and Mike that we (as in Nathan) just wasn't ready for Evan to spend a night away from Mom and Dad. It was really cute that it bothered Nathan so much. But he got a little mad when Mike called and teased him about it. And actually, I was a little anxious when I went home instead of picking him up after work. Nathan had to work that night. But after I was home for an hour in a quiet house without having to say No or don't hit the dog or if you do that one more time you are going to time out, I realized, wow, this is really nice! I was able to read, catch up on some homework, take a shower without having to lock him down lol, and had a quiet dinner. No offense to Evan, but he is at a very demanding age & definitely keeps us hopping.

So anyway, last Tuesday night he spent the night at Bake & Ewi's. I don't think he actually wanted to come home! He had so much fun and has been jabbering about Bake, Ewi, Mike, & Darda (Charla) ever since he stayed over there. He wanted to call them the other night, it was so cute. Then he got his backpack and went to the front door and said, Night, night. So I think we were more worried than he was. But he didn't sleep or eat much while he was there, so after he came home, that night he was an absolute grump and we wanted to send him back over to Mike & Charla's house. HA But I'm sure he would love to do that again, any time the boys want him to!

So I am excited to have the boys over to our house to spend the night this weekend possibly. Mike asked Blake if he wanted to and his reply was, No, I don't think so. :-) So I guess he'll just play at our house and then go home. But maybe Eli will stay with us. We'll see what happens! Of course if Grammy stays, Blake might. Mike says the fireworks scared him, but it could be the dogs too. But we could certainly keep the dogs up for a special day with "the boys". I'll let you know if he ends up staying or not!!

Evan's First Power Wheel

Evan got his first power wheel today and I must say he LOVES IT! It has three speeds: reverse, slow, and fast. The speed is controlled by the gear shifter on the floor. Of course Evan couldn't wait to get in it the whole time we were putting it together, so not all the stickers are on it yet.

Congratulations Nathan!!!

Tuesday, Nathan received a call from a supervisor at work that he was to attend an awards banquet on Thursday, but wouldn't say why. So last night, Nathan and I attended the Awards Banquet for Louisville Metro EMS. He received the Medical Excellence Award. They pick one EMT and one Paramedic to receive this award each year from the entire service. He was very honored and I am so proud of him. The paramedic that received the award with him told me that Nathan really knows his stuff, and that Nathan makes him look good whent hey work together. Dr. Richmond, head of EMS, talked about how Nathan knows how to read paramedics really well to know what they need, which is crucial in their jobs.

Congratulations Nathan!!
