Playing Pretend

I LOVE this CHEESY picture of Logan - It is a little fuzzy because it was taken on my phone, but so funny to me! He loves to "Show his Teeth" when he smiles! Logan has been so entertaining lately! He is hilarious and is always playing some type of pretend. It is so funny to watch his imagination at work. He is always playing with his toys now, which he never was really into before, and having them carry on conversations and making us join in! One of his latest favorites is to play "Camping". He loves to pretend that we are going camping or use Rylee's Little People Camper set to pretend that they are camping and there always has to be a bear involved and it is usually Darren or I. He also frequently likes to play Disneyland and have either his toys or himself pretend that they are riding Disney rides. The other day, I caught him with a few of Rylee's baby dolls in a basket and he was telling them they were on the Peter Pan ride and pushing them around "over Neverland!"Here is Logan all dressed in his Buzz costume in his "Space Ship". He is also always telling us that he is Buzz and we are Zurg or Woody and loves to talk about "destroying the galaxy" and other funny things. I have recently made the greatest discovery with him - I can ask him to do things over and over and over and usually get no response. But if I start the request with "Space Ranger, I have a Space Mission for you!" He immediately listens and does whatever I ask! It is awesome! This can be anything from "Space Ranger, I need you to find your space shoes for our space mission to the store" to "Space Ranger, we need to clean your room before Zurg destroys the galaxy!" It works great! Now I need to do some "Space Ranger" potty training! I did manage to at least get him on the potty the other day, but when I asked him if he was going, he said "My poop isn't working right now Mom."
Logan also says some of the most hilarious things! The other day, we were sitting at dinner and I was asking Darren where something was and Logan said, "It fell into my clutches!" Where does he come up with this stuff at 3 years old? He sat down next to my little brother at a family dinner the other day and said, "So, How was your day at work?" It was so cute! He always does this to Darren when he gets home, so I guess he thought everyone must go to work! Funny kid! I am always laughing at Logan and all of his funny comments.Logan is obsessed with cars lately! This is him and my dad "driving" my Dad's new car, which Logan LOVES because it looks like Lightning McQueen! He is always carrying around his little cars toys and quoting lines from the movie as he races them around. He is always lining them up and getting them ready to race. It is pretty funny. We were playing "Cars" the other day, and I was assigned to be his fire truck. I asked Logan if he wanted to play, and he said "I don't have tires. I only have hands and feet - No tires!" I finally convinced him that it would be OK to play with his truck anyway. He also recognizes the Chevy logo for some reason, which is weird because we are not car people! Today I was reading the paper and Logan saw an ad for a dealership and said, "Is that our Rocky Mountain Chevy Dealer?" Sure enough, that is exactly what the ad said!Logan has really been liking playing games on the computer lately with Dad. I found some fun games on the Disney website and Logan has loved it! He also really likes the pbskids.org website and is always asking to get on "Buzz.com" or "SuperWhy.com" or anything .com!

Since we moved to our new house, Logan has decided that he doesn't really need naps, which is a little rough on me! I finally got Logan and Rylee on a similar nap schedule and what do you know - He is done! This is a rare picture of him passed out on the couch! Once or twice a week, no napping catches up to him and he totally crashes! For awhile, I attempted to battle the no nap thing, but it just seemed to make it worse. A few times in the same week, I thought he was asleep upstairs and I was working downstairs and I heard him moving around. I went upstairs to see what I was doing and discovered him in my makeup! The good news is that it only was on his face and not all over the bathroom. The bad news is it was on his face and he seemed to enjoy it! It happened more than once! I think that he just wants to do what I do, just like he wants to shave like Daddy, but still... I don't think it is a great idea to get into makeup! These are a few funny pictures after I was done explaining to him "Makeup is for GIRLS!"
He actually didn't do too bad a job applying makeup... These ones are the lipstick...
Mascara Mess on a different day....
I am blaming this makeup obsession all on my little brother, Bradley. Brad frequently likes to show off his vocabulary. The problem is, he doesn't always know what the words he uses means. He was visiting us in Vegas a couple months ago and Logan was being really crazy and running all over and Brad said, "Logan, you are such a transvestite!" WHAT???? We all stared at him and I freaked a little! Then we asked him if he knew what that meant, and he said, "Yeah...Someone who is really hyper and stuff." Not exactly.... Logan in Uncle Jeff's football pads. He thought these were pretty cool! I had to post something manly after the makeup photos!
Gotta love Summer and Popsicles! This is Logan and 2 of our little neighbors, Dallin and Spencer. They spent a few hours at our house a couple weeks ago and played so good together! It was actually a bit of a break for me because they were all so entertained! We have had a lot of fun with them, but our ward got split on Sunday, and they are now in the other ward! Hopefully, we can still have some playdates because Logan loves playing with them!

Logan's World...

Our Logan has such the imagination! Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to live in his world! Since I posted so many pictures of Rylee, I thought I should include some of him and the many funny things he does! He keeps us very entertained!
Logan loves to pretend he is playing Guitar Hero just like his uncles! He gets this out and plays and sings "I Want to Rock and Roll all Night and Party Everyday!" Or "Hit Me With YOur Best Shot!" It is hilarious! He even carries a pretty good tune!
Logan talking to Grandpa Boman on the phone - Isn't he funny?
Logan playing Woody in his cowboy hat!
Logan made these dog ears at story time and liked to pretend he is a dog!
I LOVE this picture because it has such a funny story! Logan got these special treats at Target for being good! He LOVES pirates and was so excited for his own eye patch and hook but fell asleep on the way home...
Then I moved him into the house and he still slept in his eye patch and when he woke up he came out and said "Where's my hook?" It was so funny! He LOVES pretending he is a pirate - especially now that he has a new telescope!
We went over to our friend's house one day and Logan helped build and paint a little truck! He loved it! He likes using tools!
Painting the truck - Kind of a mess!
Logan and his buddy Natalie after they were done!

Logan LOVES this tent he got for Christmas - He likes to pretend it is a space ship or a castle and is always playing in it and trying to hide from Rylee!
Logan also loves to play with his little town of Radiator Springs with all of his cars! It is just a little homemade thing Santa brought but he LOVES it!
Looking cute for church!
Muscle Man!
Logan listening intently at Sports class. We haven't gone to this for awhile and he really misses it and especially Coach Wendy!

Our Silly Little Boy!


This is one of my favorite recent photos of Logan. I don't know why - I just think it really captures his personality! Since I posted a bunch of photos of Rylee, I thought I'd also include some random recent ones of Logan! He is such a funny kid and always has us laughing! He says the funniest things and has so much personality already! The other day, I was putting him down for a nap and he said, "Have you thought about this Mom? Are you sure?" The things that come out of his mouth totally amaze me!!! He is really developing a very active imagination and is always pretending to be something - a pirate, a dinosaur, a dog - It is quite entertaining! Some of his latest favorite things include: Peter Pan, pirates, Lightning McQueen, playing games (he loves to get out all of our board games - His favorites are Jenga and Life - They make quite a mess!), Sports Class, jumping on the bed, Christmas music and TV Specials, Buzz Lightyear and Zurg and lots of other exciting boy things!
In this picture, Logan insisted on wearing his hoodie with the hood up and a beanie. He is a very busy kid and is always on the go and doing something adventurous - including climbing and jumping on every piece of furniture in the house. He is definitely ALL boy! As busy as he is though, he is also quite the cuddler and loves for us to snuggle with him. He is also a great big brother! Here are some of Logan's latest antics!
We made this turkey for FHE. Each feather had something Logan was thankful for - He LOVED it! The feathers said: family, Rylee, Mom, Dad, Home, Sports, Nursery (He loves going there!), food and a couple other of his favorite things!
What a pose! I thought it was so funny that he fell asleep this way!
A sick day cuddled up on the couch. When he is not feeling good or when he watches movies, he loves to have his blankie and pillow and a stuffed animal on the couch.
Logan loves to sleep cuddled up to one of his stuffed toys - I thought he and Buzz looked very cute!
He is obsessed with the cones in his Sports class - He loves to play with them. He was putting them on his head and saying "Drop! Go!" That is from Toy Story 2 - He is always quoting movies and books to us!
Now the cones are binoculars - He is looking for pirate treasure - another obsession of his!
I thought he looked so funny in the combination of clothes he put together - his rolled up PJs, Woody hat, Buzz sweatshirt and long socks!
He got these socks out of my closet and decided they made nice gloves and wanted to build a snowman - I don't know where you could do that in Vegas!
Logan loves playing in the tub! He gets very silly in there and the other day he told me to "Prepare the cannons!" and "Hoist Anchor!" - More pirate stuff!

The other day I made Logan this fort and he loved playing in it! First, he was King Logan and this was his "beautiful castle". Then he was a dinosaur, then it was a Rocket ship! It was good, cheap entertainment for us!
