Logan: the fish.

This video was from the night of his big birthday party.  Apparently the kid turns two & is ready to take on the world, swimming by himself and all.  I can't get over it!

the winters do myrtle beach

and I was so busy having fun & chasing our wild little booger around that I hardly took any pictures.  I know, I know... I suck.  Even though there is not a lot of picture proof, we did have a great time & Logan, just like last year, adores the beach.

check out these goobers that I call family:

I have to admit, several years ago when one of my best friends Natalie introduced me to Justin I had no clue that years later we would all still be so close!  I'm SO happy that she is about to be my sister!  Kyle couldn't have picked a better person to spend the rest of his life with & I'm soooo freaking thankful that she will soon be "stuck" in the craziness of being a Winters with me, lol.

That, and I love her kid.  Like really...Christian is my little boyfriend.  He even told me I was "hot" while we were at the beach, haha.  He's the smartest nephew ever, sweet talking me already!

I look forward to many more beach trips together, more mountain trips, more birthday parties & cookouts.  I'm also really looking forward to their wedding...but most of all, I'm ready for them to give me another nephew or niece.  Okay Kyle & Nat?  So get with it guys, this auntie is waiting! ;)

I look forward to see what our brood looks like twenty years from now when we will have had all of our kids (hopefully, anyways).  By then even the youngest brother Shane maybe will have had some kids too, that's kind of a scary thought, haha.

The beach trip was fun, but exhausting...or that's what Logan says anyways ;)

^^check out the drool spot forming on the couch.  That babe was TIRED!

Can you tell me how to get to *Logan's* Street??

It's PARTY day!  After all of the preparation & mess taking up our household it's finally here!

I love planning parties, but most of all I LOVE planning my babies parties!  I know he is only two, but I like going all out no matter what the age.  I had such a great time planning  Logan's first birthday party & I loved seeing the end result and my sweet boy enjoying every ounce of my planning, so I knew I wanted to celebrate the same this year.

So without blabbering too much here is Logan's 2nd Birthday party :)

I wanted to have as many 2's & L's around as possible since the party was "brought to you by" those letters.  I'm still convinced that it's the cutest little party idea ever!  Thanks again Shindig Parties for your amazing work on the invitations & printables that I used throughout the party...you rock!

A huge thank you to Head Over Heels at etsy for your amazing job on Logan's birthday shirt!

It was a great day, in fact...one of the greatest to date.  Our babe's 2nd birthday was celebrated well & he had an absolute blast.  There is nothing more this mama could wish for!
