This was supposed to be an 18 month post...because ya know, milestones and all...but, another month went by without permission. Here's what my Logan boy's been up to lately. </div>

He loooves to make me and Libby laugh. Such a little jokester (like Dad). He'll dance silly and sing along to songs, then look at us to see if we're giggling. I always am so, he'll do it again.</div>

He just started smiling super cheesy for the camera, which also makes me laugh.</div>

Oh, and don't try to make him talk. He says, mama, dah, nana, and love you. All other words are just not interesting to him. Jared asked him to say "please" the other night before giving him a treat and he started BAWLING!!! "Please" is just too hard, I guess. Poor kid. To get what he wants he'll simply take my hand, walk me over (usually the kitchen) and point. And he won't hold just one finger. He'll wiggle and wiggle his hand inside of mine until we're holding hands correctly. It's adorable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This brother ADORES his sister! When Libby's at Preschool he searches the house making sure she's really gone. When we pick her up he kicks his feet and squeals just like a newborn would do. It's my favorite thing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My 2nd favorite holiday came and went too quickly. (Christmas is #1, obvs.) There is just something about all the red, white and blue that makes my heart swell. With a husband that serves our beautiful country, July 4th means just that much more to me! I seriously LOVED my Instagram feed the entire day. Every picture was so festive! Even my friend who lives in London posted a pic of her little's in our nation's colors.</div>

^^^ We had been saving ALL year and were prepared to go all out this trip. We stayed at <a href="http://disneyland.disney.go.com/grand-californian-hotel/">The Grand California Hotel</a> connecting right to California Adventure. It was heaven not dealing with shuttles so early and so late at night like past trips. The bunk beds were a BIG hit as well. The biggest bummer though was our first morning there we got up before the sun to get in line for Early Entry. (Disney Hotel guests get in 1 hour before the park even opens.) Head to the bathroom and.... NO WATER!!! A pipe broke in the night and the entire hotel was out of water! We brushed our teeth with a water bottle and headed to Disneyland to use the restroom. Cray-Cray! ^^^</div>

^^^Logan is my child that loves his sleep!! He goes down early and sleeps in late so, the Early Entry was not his favorite part of this trip. When we were all scrambling to get ready each morning he would find a spot on the floor and drift in and out of sleep until we scooped him up to go. Our fourth or fifth ride was the Merry-Go-Round and you can tell it's just still too early for him.^^^</div>

The New Children's Museum in San Diego was a little disappointing. Not quite what we thought it was going to be and packed with field trip kids. We found some highlights though...like bubbles! </div>

He then had to stay and work for 2 weeks so, the kids and I played! If California is good for anything, it's playing! </div>

My little mama's boy turned ONE last month!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was reading in Parent's magazine that for your baby's first birthday you should make the theme something they really love. Cars, trains, animals, Mickey Mouse....that got me thinking...what IS Logan's favorite thing? It didn't take long for me to realize, it was ME! Really, he doesn't watch shows or play with toys, he crawls around from room to room wherever I may be. (That is...if he's down from my hip!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I teased that I would make myself the theme and do a banner with MY face but, after more thought, though it would be funny, it seemed a little over the top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, the theme was Logan. <i>My</i> favorite thing!!!</div>

Besides the cake devastation, this little guy's party was so great! It was nice to have all the people we love (except daddy of course) come to celebrate Logan, who brings us so much joy! He's been the best little companion while his dad's been away. Always so pleasant and just happy to be along for the ride.</div>

I thought I'd keep up my blog more once Jared had left and I became a stay-at-home Mom but, that just hasn't been the case. It's probably a combination of a few things; double the kids/half the parents, Instagram and Facebook are much easier and we get to Skype with Jared nearly every day, which is WAY better then a blog post. Yet still, sometimes I'm sad my little bliggity-blog has dwindled. Instead of doing a ridiculous catch up post, I just wanted to post some pictures of our life lately...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just me and the kids for a few more weeks! Eek! </div>

On rainy or extra windy days we like to kill time at the mall. They have an indoor dinosaur park that Libby's crazy about and we never leave without throwing a penny in the fountain outside Macey's.

Little Libby was so excited to see fresh snow falling out her window yesterday morning. It kept falling clear until the sun went down. Around 2, when Logan was napping and kids were walking home from the school bus, we bundled up, Libby and I, and walked to the park. </div>

And never in my life have I known someone to eat so much snow. Every time we're outside Libby eats a handful of snow. I have to watch her closely because most of the time it's old, yucky snow but, she doesn't care.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today while I waiting in the line of cars to pick her up from Pre-School I watched her eat handfuls of snow. One right after the other, after the other! None of the other kids were eating snow. When she got in the car she said, "My teacher told me not to eat snow because animals poop on it but, everyday I eat snow because everyday I am hungry for snow!" </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's true, she's always hungry!!! </div>

She's cracking me up, which is her saving grace because she simultaneously drives me nutty!<br />
<br />
We went to the mall on Monday to make a return and we noticed there was no line to see Santa. Libby said she wanted to go. I didn't think she'd actually follow through with it however, after just a little hesitation, she went over slowly and sat NEXT to him. There would be no lap sitting for her. (This time.) He asked her what she wanted for Christmas and she said really quiet, "Santa. I want a real puppy." Santa glanced at my face and quickly read into my wide eyes and clenched teeth. He said, "Oh shoot. Puppies can't ride on Santa's sleigh because it's just too cold. Puppies are something you get from your parents."<br />
<br />
Thanks for nothin' Santa.<br />
<br />
She then just sat there. Looking at him. For what seemed like forever and then said, "Santa. My Mom has you on her phone." HUH? Santa looked at me and I was just as confused. I think she must have heard somewhere that Mom's can call Santa to say if you're being naughty or nice. I am definitely using this tactic until the clock strikes midnight on Christmas Eve.<br />
<br />
Then she got a teeny candy cane, and we left.<br />
<br />
.................................<br />
<br />
A few days ago my nephew was over and I set up the pack-and-play so he could have a place to sleep as he would be over pretty late. He never used it. I also, never took it down. Libby slept in it one night, and played with it the next. Then today I saw that she had tipped it over and was piling all the clothes from my drawers into the pack-and-play. Now, I thought.....we're done. While she was distracted, I put it away. Minutes later she put her hands on her hips and said, "MOM! Where's that cribby??" Trying to lighten the mood a little I waved my hands and replied, "Well, I made it magically disappeeeeeeear." She marched out of my room and into her own grabbing her sparkly wand. When she returned, she handed me her wand and said very sternly, "MOM! You make it magically appear again! Right now!"<br />
<br />
Oh man. I laughed so hard. And then I really wished I was magic. Because wouldn't that be neat?<br />
<br />

Also, she gives herself "long hair" at least 6 times a day. And then stares in the mirror with a big grin.</div>

I cannot seem to get her to leave my stuff alone. I figured the best option was to get her her own tree that she could take apart whenever she wanted. We talked about it for a couple of days and she was SO excited. Before going to the store to pick one out we stopped for lunch at Chick-fil-a and I could hear her telling the kids, "I'm getting my own Christmas tree today!!!"<br />
<br />
We then went to pick one out and of course, she wanted the pink sparkly one. Which was fine. It was pre-lit with pink lights and only $17.00. PERFECT! Of course, she needed ornaments. I tried and tried to get her to choose the Disney Princess set, or the Dora set, or even Minnie Mouse but, her heart was set on Barbie.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was so excited she wanted to carry her new tree up the stairs all by herself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Look at that face!!!</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once we were in the house I told her we would not set up the tree until her room was all clean. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Why, Mama?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Because there is nowhere for the tree to go with all your stuff on the floor." I explained.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, so matter of fact, she pointed to the only clear spot and announced, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"It can just go HERE!"</div>

Right in the middle of the room? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We cleaned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And once her room was clean, she set up that pink sparkly tree all by herself.</div>

I had really high hopes that this would fix our decoration breaking dilemma however, it has not. She never thinks she has enough ornaments so keeps sneaking them from the big tree and putting them on her own. Then she wants to look at her tree so instead of going into her room, she brings the tree out to whatever room she is currently in. Leaving ornaments and pink tree parts scattered all around the house.<br />
<br />
Despite her somewhat destructive and disobedient side, she is very sweet. This morning I heard her talking to Logan on the monitor and when I went in to check on them, she had moved her tree into his room, plugged in the lights and told me she didn't want her baby to be scared of the dark so, he is borrowing her tree. He, of course, loves the pink sparkly tree too!<br />

Libby absolutely ADORES going to Preschool. I'm so glad I decided to put her in 3 days a week instead of 2 because on the off days, all she talks about, is Preschool. She goes to Rainbows Preschool and her teacher's name is Kim. Whom she also talks about on a daily basis!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never thought I'd be someone to hold onto every. single. item. ever brought home from school buuuuut, I just can't throw away this cute stuff. It's all the same. Coloring the #7 and the 7 items on the paper. (They're always pink.) Coloring the letter C and all the pictures that begin with C. (Pink as well.) I finally had to get rid of the ever-growing pile on my counter top. We're only 2 months in her first year for Heaven's sake!!! I do know the whole trick of scanning them to the computer and tossing the originals but, it's just not the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I picked up Libby today and we looked through her backpack she was so excited to show me her pumpkin she colored and cut out all on her own. I hadn't even seen the front before I got the BIGGEST Mom grin on my face. On the back, she had written her name, <u>by herself</u>! She still seems too little to write words but, there it was, Libby with <b>12</b> little b's. Melting heart. You can see where Kim went back after the 2nd 'b' and added a 'y'. Surely for learning purposes however, I really like the never ending 'b' line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This one, I might actually hang onto. </div>

Yesterday we went to the Beehive Bazaar to see my <a href="http://callitcourtney.blogspot.com/">Aunt Courtney's</a> booth. (She's so talented!) It was at Riverwoods in Provo which I haven't been to in years. Really, if I remember right, I was pregnant with Libby. A lot has changed to that little outdoor mall. Right next to the Bazaar was a toy store I was dying to step into. We didn't have time yesterday so, my littles and I went back today. </div>

Blickenstaff's is also a toy store for parents, since they have only classic and (new) vintage toys. The kind that take you right back to your growing up years. They have a classic candy wall too. All the gummy candy you ate as a kid but, won't touch now. I tried one of Libby's "Gummy Fried Eggs"....ick! But, fun none the less. </div>

We spent quite some time in that cute little toy store. The staff is happy to let the kids play with the train track, the doll house, and the bike's laying around for test rides. I thought this would be our only stop until I overhead a Grandma ask the kids she was toting if they wanted to ride the carousel. Libby loves carousel's more than just about anything so, we followed. </div>

It was decorated like a beach resort. The floors where painted like water with wood docks. The walls were painted like a pier, and there were palm trees everwhere. There was even a large stage...not sure what goes on there....though I did read a sign that they have free story time on Thursdays. </div>

I would like to keep up this tradition however, Daddy put Libbs to bed in her clothes the night before (we were out late and in his defense, her jeans are as comfy as jammies) so, it seemed silly to make her change just for the picture. Only to then change again into her Easter dress. Though I did contemplate it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Jared's family tradition has always been to get all dressed up and eat the Easter Brunch at The Little America. The great thing about this hotel is they have fabulous bathrooms with comfy chairs for nursing mamas.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After Little America we headed to my Aunt Spring's house to spend time with my side of the family.

Although she LOVES her Tangled undies, she still refuses to use the potty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She cries, hard, when I put her on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has the BEST pouty face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She doesn't cry as hard when she gets hurt as she does when she's told "no".</div>

One thing is for sure though...all the worrying about how she'll like the new baby...was for nothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's obsessed with brother-baby. That's what she calls him. I really don't think she knows his name is Logan yet. Ha. She wants to help all the time. She wants him to sleep in her bed and play with her toys. She kisses and hugs. Most of the time it's too rough. We're working on that. The other day she got a new Princess Night Gown. She twirled and twirled and then said to her sleeping newborn, "Brother-Baby! Do you like it?? I'm sooo pretty!" </div>McCallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01414576978340312320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071698206413912293.post-12165223780874358312012-03-24T19:52:00.000-07:002012-03-24T19:52:55.293-07:00he's here!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-__rLgNu6-PY/T253TGA1TCI/AAAAAAAACbg/JLAEUgUDh84/s1600/IMG_8423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-__rLgNu6-PY/T253TGA1TCI/AAAAAAAACbg/JLAEUgUDh84/s640/IMG_8423.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is Libby's last week at the babysitters. Yay for me...but, maybe a little sad for her. I'm sure she'll be happy to be home with mom, brother and her own toys but, she's played with the same two sisters everyday for 2 years. It will be a little bit of an adjustment.</div>

And though <a href="http://mccallandjared.blogspot.com/2011/06/1stwait-2nd-haircut.html">one cut her hair</a>, and the other tends to bite (hard), it's still fun to have girlfriends. </div>

I'm very sad to say that my camera is missing. And it <strong>better</strong> show up before baby arrives!!!<br />
The following are taken with my iPhone. </div><div align="center"><br />
We took Libby to Disney on Ice with cousins Izzie and Cameron. It was a blast!<br />
<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OfQHPDXxkzk/T1jo7MoBV-I/AAAAAAAACas/S0DmveJlHT4/s1600/iphone+pics+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OfQHPDXxkzk/T1jo7MoBV-I/AAAAAAAACas/S0DmveJlHT4/s400/iphone+pics+007.JPG" width="297" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Izzie came decked out in her Jessie the Cowgirl gear. She was nice enough to let Libby wear her Jessie hat for a little while.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Ken & Barbie numbers were definitely the best. Libby is always the biggest fan of Buzz Lightyear though! When he flew in over the ice her eyes got really wide and her jaw dropped. It's always fun when the kids enjoy it. And though her eyes were extra tired by 9pm, she stayed awake and paid close attention the entire show. So cute. </div><div align="center"></div>McCallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01414576978340312320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071698206413912293.post-54458285299600881122012-03-06T13:15:00.002-08:002012-03-06T13:17:00.881-08:00d.r.a.m.a.<div align="center">Libby is a whole lot of drama these days.

</div><div align="center">I picked her up from the sitter's last week and another 2-year-old patted my belly and said, "I know there's a baby in there." Libby burst into tears on the spot and cried, "Don't hit my brother-baby!!!" She talked about it the rest of the night, just so beside herself that her baby had been "hit". I couldn't seem to console her. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">This morning we went to the doctor's office for my 36 week check up. It's now the time where they check if your dilated, effaced, etc. I took my pants off and again, with such ease, Libby's tears started to flow. "Mama! Put your pants on, you're gonna be coldy!!!!" She was literally upset until I was fully dressed again - because of her concern for my temperature!!?!!!??</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Speaking of the baby - I was in fact dilated (not that that means much but, false hope for early delivery). I'm 3 centimeters dilated and 40% effaced. Any day kid. I'm ready! </div><div align="center"><br />
I can't promise the same for sister though.</div>McCallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01414576978340312320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071698206413912293.post-35086296645331770232012-02-14T11:24:00.000-08:002012-02-14T11:24:57.999-08:00day of love<div align="center"><strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Happy Valentine's Day!!!</span></strong><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had last Tuesday off of work and had to hit up Motherhood Maternity for a church skirt. (That was depressing.) So, since it was a Mommy and Libby day, we decided to do something fun too...the Disney Store is our favorite stop!!! As soon as we walked in Libby picked out a box of princess figurines. It was cute but, I knew she'd love the plush princess dolls better. PLUS, they were buy one get one free. Gotta love a Disney deal. We turned the corner to the wall of plush dolls and Libby immediately handed me what was in her hand and said, "Put this back Mama, I'n getting a Bell." Well, that was easy. She got a Tinker Bell and Pocahontas doll but, I think she loved the big Mickey Mouse bag the most. She carried her dolls in the bag the rest of the day. It was especially cute since it was just about her same size. She even took her nap with the dolls still in the bag next to her. Silly girl. I'm definately looking forward to spending everyday with this little peanut come NEXT MONTH! Yay!!!</div>McCallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01414576978340312320noreply@blogger.com1
