I Love Bully!!!

Visiting the Templeton Center and pointing to Ray Ray's favorite coach
Giving Bully a big kiss

Checking out baseball practice (notice the silly bandz)

Ray Ray, I think we need box seats this year...(and whatever Logan wants, Logan gets)

Logan is ready for college (notice the new Bully shoes)

Not afraid to have my picture made with Bully

Checking out the field

I love this pic because you can tell Logan is BEAMING!!

The trophy is home!

Another day checking out practice

I know I still need to post pictures of the birthday party, but in honor of tonight's BIG game against the wildcats, I decided to make it an MSU post. Logan has had so much fun going to basketball games this year. He loves dancing when the band is playing, waving to Bully on the court, eating lots of "bites" and always finding someone to play (flirt) with during the game. Thursday night we had some young college girls and he had so much fun. Saturday night's game went into overtime...yuck...we ran out of "bites" I guess I need to be better prepared for that extra 5 minutes!! Good luck tonight Dawgs!!

Are you ready to.....

TUMBLE!!!!!! Logan and I started a mommy and me gymnastics class today..He loved it, at the beginning of the class we did floor exercises and stretching with fun music, next up was an obstacle course and he would jump thru all of the hoops, did the vault and balance beam. We then went on to the bars...he is a little young for this, but he tried and last but not least, he played on a trampoline filled with foam blocks..Needless to say he cam home and went night-night!!

Logan and I are adjusting to our new schedules...He is doing great in school and he is moving to a different class this week..the 2 year old class..meaning he has to drink out of a real cup and give up his beets (pacifier) during naptime..

I still can not believe I will have a two year old, where does the time go?? We will celebrate this weekend Elmo style!!!

Go Uncle J!!!

Logan and I are so proud of Uncle J...He has been training for the Mississippi Blues Marathon, and despite the Arctic weather we are experiencing, he did great and finished....Logan and I stayed at home, but MiMI, Ray Ray, Aunt Sarah and Jack were there to cheer him on!

Confession........

Getting ready to go to church
Enjoying my M & M's

Yes, those are silly bands on Logan's arm..he loves them and they are great to learn colors and animals (silly bands equals educational tool)

Kissing Elmo!

My name is Lee Ann...If I find something and it is really on sale and really cheap, even if I don't need it, I will buy it....

I love big sales and consignment shopping, which are all usually held after Christmas..I found Elmo for $2 and could not resist, Logan loves him and they are about the same size...Logan also racked up on tons of clothes that were half off and I bought too many dresses and sweaters...they were too cheap to pass up!!! Hope everyone is having a Happy New Year!

Christmas Pictures

Canton Lights

We took Logan to the Canton square before Christmas to see the lights...He loved them, we tried riding around in the car in neighborhoods, but he cant really see them, so this was perfect, he could just walk around, explore and touch the lights

Can you believe that in one month my baby Logan will be 2??? he is getting to be such a big boy..he can say his numbers (not in English, but in Spanish, thanks to Aunt Phee!)

On this day, December 30th, I cant help but think back to a year ago today...It was absolutely the worst day in my life thus far...I had let EX have Logan last year on Christmas day and he was to return him on December 30th at noon at Renaissance parking lot...Mom and I were driving up at about 1145 and EX called and said he would not be meeting us...he had Logan and would not even tell me where they were..To say I completely lost it would be an understatement..I even called the ex-in-laws and they would not tell me where they were or when they left...I lost all respect for them on that day...as many times as I had brought Logan to their house by myself and let them visit with him. Finally my Aunt Phyllis got in touch with EX and figured out he was in an airport (as to their whereabouts, I am still unclear)...he told her he was a good person (lets compare him to Tiger Woods, not exactly a person of good character or morals)...We now know that he had filed for divorce and had to have Logan with him. The happy ending to the story is that I have full and legal custody of Logan now and will hold him a little more tightly today remembering what happened a year ago.

Logan and I will start this new year together with the family and friends that have supported and loved us throughout this past year. My support group in Ohio is so special to me--I could not had survived those 10 months without them.

This is not the life I had thought we would have, but with our faith , this is a new chapter in our lives that we are looking forward to. A new beginning for Lee Ann and Logan in 2010.

Bye Bye Santa

I am not sure if Santa ever smiles?

Playing in the tent is alot more fun than visiting Santa

Gently touching the lights on the tree

Please let me down!

Shopping with GiGi

So, I have lots of catching up posts from over the Christmas holiday..I will start off with pictures from Bass Pro shop...They had free pictures with Santa, crafts, lights, and different stations for kids to play. We decided to take Logan on a Saturday morning..it was pretty crowded...Mimi waited in the long Santa line while we explored the store. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
