I love getting texts like this. Hailey lives for special one-on-one time. We’re pretty lucky to have Jake around.

There’s nothing as endlessly captivating as giant waves crashing on the beach. It was definitely worth the hike and the chilly wind!

Logan’s ant house on the beach. And all I could think was, “What is this? A center for ANTS?! It has to be at least 3 TIMES bigger than this!” #bestmovieever

3 soccer ️ games at 2 locations, Jake refereed 3 games (only 1 of our kids’ games) for 5 hours straight, 1 halftime and game team snacks , 3 basketball evaluations, 1 Cub Scout swimming badge, and we’re all ready for naps before @whyisjake’s baseball ️ district dinner date.

Rushton ran for student council this week, and while he didn’t win, he had fun and sounds ready to try again someday. At least he knows his little brother thinks he’s cool. : @whyisjake

On Friday, Logan requested a bike ride to the park with Mom and Dad before school. I can already feel my time with him running out, so we couldn’t say no! (Side note: riding with Logan on the tow-behind is like trying to balance with an extra load while someone is kicking your tires AND throwing dodgeballs at you.)

I blinked and all of a sudden my baby turned 6. Happy birthday to our caboose! Logan is a bundle of energy, fun, intensity, curiosity, and love. I’m so glad he’s part of our family!

Logan and 17 friends from school, soccer, church, swim, and cousins karate chopped their ninja hearts out tonight! It was pure little-boy C.H.A.O.S., so basically it was perfect.

This week was so fun for Logan! He was Star of the Week in Kindergarten AND they celebrated his Sunday birthday on Friday. He made an About Me poster, was Line Leader all week, brought Pringles to share with the class on Wednesday, and he gets to bring the class bear, Rocky, home this weekend for adventures. Today he brought his homemade car garage for Show and Tell, as well as Banana Bars with Browned Butter Frosting for his class birthday treat! Logan is such a fun, smart, curious, energetic kid and I just love watching him in Kindergarten. He has an excellent teacher, is great at cutting, loves math/numbers, and is really starting to read! When did my baby get so grown??
