Nothing to report!

Honestly, I have not been slacking on my blogging duties.  There just has been nothing to report.  I haven't taken a single picture in the past few weeks.   So here's a little funny to tide you over until something exciting happens!

Welcome to my world.

The Birthday boy

So, despite all my arguments, Logan decided he wanted to have his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. 

 

And if you are thinking, "Boy that cake sure looks familiar", You are right.  

This is Logan's 3rd Ben 10 party.

Everyone had lots of fun,

And even I have to admit it was a great party.  

Add in that I didn't have to clean my house, I'm thinking CEC was a fabulous idea!

We celebrated on his actual birthday with a low key dinner of his choosing.  Chic-fil-a, with Grandpa. 

And no cake, just ice cream.

And a few silly tongue tricks!

Craig was anti tongue twisting this evening, this is all I got from him!

Just then, disaster struck!

 

Logan became the recipient of a vicious attack from his ice cream cone....

But, as you can see, it didn't slow his tongue tricks down a bit.

Such a trooper he is.

And, of course, he got even more Ben 10 gifts.

He's even got one coming all the way from England.

And thus ends another Ben 10 birthday!

3 in a row.  No one can ever say my son can't commit!

Don't mess with the Steindorf kids!

 

Logan and Chloe have both started Tae Kwon Do.

Now, I know it's early, but I think it's safe to say,

you're not gonna want to go messing with these two!

More to come about that.

7 things I love about Logan

1. He doesn't like french fries.

(I know, RIGHT?!?!)

2.  He loves his sister and even when he doesn't like her he still wants her near him.

4. He's got his daddy's charm, but doesn't even know it, which makes it all the more deadly.

 

5.  He doesn't let an hour go by without telling me he loves me.   

(even if he spends that hour in a time out!)

 

6.  He will always find something to smile about.  Even when he's lost his pants.

 

(or his shirt)

 7.  And he will never hesitate to tell you how awesome he is!

And you know what?

He is SO right.

Happy 7th Birthday Logan.

A note from a lame, procrastinating author

Yes, it's January 13th and I have just finished my Christmas shopping for 2011.  The way I see it, my Santa portrait is still hanging over the piano and as long as it's there, Christmas is NOT officially over.  Which means I still have time to get my gifts out to everyone.  So, if you should be one of the lucky recipients of a Christmas gift arriving in the mail, in say...oh 7-10 days.   Please don't think it as late.   But, really, an extension of all the beautiful Christmas magic!  

Honestly, it seems the past few months have been a struggle to get off my butt and get anything done.   (As you have probably noticed from my lack luster posts.)  I seem to have lost my inspiration for things lately.  But I'm determined to fix this.   With the new year, brings wonderful new opportunities to enjoy everything life has to offer.  I plan on taking full advantage of these opportunities.

Of course, that probably won't mean your Christmas presents will be on time . . . but you can expect some kick ass updates on the blog!!!

Happy 2012!

Trenton comes to Texas

Trenton came to Texas for a late Christmas.

It was so great to have him, even if for a short while.

I dare anyone to find more beautiful children than these three!  

 

Craig and Trent, bonding over their ipads.

And all to soon, it was time to say goodbye.

 

Yep, one the most sucky parts of being in Texas is being so far away from those we love.

Trent, I don't think we'll ever be able to tell you how much we love having you here and how much we hate being so far away from you!  Thanks for making the trip, even though it's boring as hell!

We love you!

Austin

So, since there is absolutely NOTHING to do here in Houston, well, besides eat, that is.  We decided to take a quick trip to Austin to check out the sites and ...well...eat some more.

Surprisingly enough, the kids really enjoyed the capitol.

And we couldn't go to Austin, without visiting Juan for our $3.80 breakfast taco.

 

 I swear, I love the place more every time we come.
