12 months…and the end of summer

So…we survived the 1st 12 months as a family of 5.  It passed by like a rocket…whoosh.

12 months old!!!   Yes…we still get stopped so that people can “ooh and aah” over this cute little guy…the curls…the dimples…the eyes…and that smile.  He started his 2nd year at a run, just trying to keep up with his older brothers.

The older boys ventured out of the state for the 1st time without their parents…who were left behind in the Texas heat.  Where better to go than on a lake in the midwest?  Wisconsin provided lots of opportunities to venture outdoors…tubing, waterskiing, biking, swimming, playing tennis, playing golf, fishing, and making smores over a campfire.

Checking out the Green Lake County Fair…lots of tractors and animals.

Logan kept us busy, racing to catch up with him.  He wanted to go for a spin in Pop’s gator, but he settled for sitting in it while it was off.  He loved running around barefoot in the grass.  He even tolerated his brother carrying him around.

Testing out Pop’s new tube…they gave it 2 thumbs up!

We chased Logan around the airport, hoping to tire him out.  Screaming for the 1st 75 minutes of a 120 minute flight, in reality, is what tired him out.  Testing out the “cheeseheads”…they make better Broncos fans.

Yummy 1st birthday cake!  Most of the cake ended up smeared on his chest or thrown on the ground….either way, he smiled the entire time.
