New Car

A new car for Logan arrived this week at the doorstep...He got an early Christmas present from Bubba and Susan..Susan babysat Logan when we lived in Ohio, little did she know she was more than that, Susan and Bubba became like our family...They hated when we left Ohio, but they knew we belonged in Mississippi with our family....Logan will get the phone some days and say Bubba, so we talk to Bubba and Susan often, they are even planning to visit us and we cant wait...

Logan loves the car, I thought he might be afraid of it, boy was I wrong..He just needs to learn how to steer, push the go button and raise his feet!! He's learning!

Logan playing on the slides at Fanfare, if you ever get behind him going up the slide, I apologize in advance, he is pretty slow

I love playing with the ball that sings the fight song (thanks Ms. Sue!)

Well Christmas certainly came early for the Bulldogs...No, we will not be going to a bowl game (we only had the toughest schedule in the nation), but we won the Golden Egg...I must admit, I didn't think it was going to happen. We headed out early that morning to begin tailgating. Logan loves fanfare with all of the blowup slides etc., we just happened to be at the right spot as the buses pulled up for the dawg walk. Logan and Ray Ray got to shake hands with everybody on bus #2. Logan went night-night after halftime and woke up in time to CELEBRATE!!! What a perfect ending to a great weekend and we have loved wearing our MSU clothes this week...Now its time to cheer for the Florida Gators!!

Stay tuned, I have a future post dedicated to Tiger Woods (AKA Cheeta)......I use to be a Tiger fan, now Team Elin!

From Dixon (Ray Ray and Logan) With Love!

Sneak Peak at Christmas pictures!

Wow, I can not begin to write down all that I have been thankful for this year...Most importantly a great family!!! Logan and I are so blessed!!! I saw a sign at Mistletoe a couple of weeks ago that said Christmas is Merrier in Mississippi, I say Life is Merrier in Mississippi!!!

Do you have a Zhu Zhu??

Do you have a Zhu Zhu hamster??? These must be a hot Christmas item for school aged kids this year. On Saturday, mom, dad and I took Logan to Toy's R Us at 8am so he could pick out what he wants for Christmas (he is very picky, says bye bye if he does not like a particular item (elmo, dinosaurs, etc.) and would put what he likes in the cart). When we walked in a woman walked up to us asking if we would get in line and buy her a zhu zhu hamster for her (only one per customer and they were apparently sold out at Target and Walmart), of course we did it, I am hoping the favor will be returned one day when Logan is old enough to want the "hot" item.

As I was "googling" a picture of this Zhu Zhu, I saw they were going for $66 and only cost $10, the woman said it was for her kids?!?!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Just posting a cute picture from the past week.. We have been so busy, went to Tupelo and saw Nemo on ice, went up to Booneville, and ended the week in Starkville..Hoping to post lots of pictures later..Logan and I are off to play at Pump it Up!!

Logan's Room (well almost)

This weekend was great...Lots of Christmas shopping at Mistletoe Marketplace, shopping in general (Target, the mall, Stein Mart, etc. all the favorites), and redecorated Logan's room (well almost).

I found these beautiful 8 X 10 animal pictures, 26 of them with the alphabet. I knew they would be perfect for Logan's room. At Mistletoe, they had them hanging with ribbon. Mom and I were going to try it, but knew it would be hard to hang evenly and it might be a little "girly". Mom had the bright idea to hang them with velcro. It worked out great. We then decided to use the material that went around Logan's bassinet as window decor. This material was also used to make the mobiles that were used in his nursery. Mom and Aunt Phyllis made 3 mobiles for the nursery using my Beanie Babies in October of 2007 when I was pregnant. They then came up in November to decorate the nursery. Mom also had a huge animal wall hanging made for the nursery.

As many of yall know, I only got to enjoy Logan's nursery for Logan's first 11 months..and really had not "enjoyed" it since June 8, 2008..the day I found out about the affair..Then in January of 2009 I moved out and lived with my great friend Sheri and her girls where Logan and I shared a room. I slept in a twin bed and Logan slept in his pack and play (everybody's dream right??)..SO I wanted to make this room perfect.

Logan had his " companionship time" this weekend. I asked EX to bring the mobiles and the picture...Do you think he brought them...of course not...It was for Logan, but I should have expected him to be so selfish...this was the same person who talked on the phone with his mistress 3 1/2 hours the day Logan was born. Ex drives a Jeep Commander (not exactly a smart car) and did not have room for 3 mobiles and a picture (granted when I moved home I brought a toddler bed, all my clothes, Logan's clothes and toys). So the room is almost complete (except the cute mobiles, LOGAN hanging on the wall, and the animal painting).

Hope you all have a great week. Logan and I are taking a little trip and our final destination will be Starkvegas on Friday to see the DAWGS beat NASTY NICK !!
