Logan Turns 17!!!!





I can't believe Logan is 17! How time flies. I remember the day he was born, I didn't know what I was having and when the doctor told me I had a boy, I was thrilled!!! He was such a sweet baby~ slept all night~ hardly ever cried. He was truly  a blessing to our family. In a little over a year he will be heading to college, I do not look forward to that day.
Things we love about Logan:
His stellar ability to kill anything in site! Seriously he is a great shot!
He uses good language~ I have been told by many of his friends that he never cusses.
He is a good friend
He never talks bad about others
He treats girls with respect
He is athletic
                                                 He develops his talents

He is smart
He is Handsome;)
We are blessed to have Logan in our family!

Darn~ I have been desperatly neglecting my blog lately! I have been oh, so busy trying to get my feet planted on the ground. It seems like every day I find 10 things that need to be done, do those and find 10 more! I must catch up at some point ~right? Well, at least I'm trying;) So, this morning I was thinking about people that inspire me, all in different ways. Decided I wanted to do a shout~out to all those that do inspire me, I remember different people for different things at different times in my life. Don't think you don't inspire me if your name isn't mentioned, all my friends and family inspire me in some way~ or you wouldn't be in my life;)
