Fun, Fun, in the Sun at the Harris House!

The end of May is here. Where did it go? Orlando, 3rd birthdays, weddings, graduations, and fun in the sun is where it went! We are ready for summer. Lazy days at the pool, Mighty Midget Slow Melt Popsicles, dinners on the deck, playing on our new swing set, maybe a trip or two, and lots of playing. Here are a few pictures to wrap up May, with the promise of a lot more to come this summer!

The Building of L & A's Swing Set!

For Logan's 3rd Birthday my parents gave and built (with the help of my brothers and Brian) a swing set! We ALL love it. Each day we go outside and swing, climb, and slide. Each time I look out my laundry room window I smile knowing how much happiness, fun, and laughter the swing set brings to us all. I swing, slide, and climb right along with them. It is a wooden swing set from Home Depot; we can add to it as we want (a telescope and driving wheel are next to come)! Austin gets better each day at climbing up. He loves to be pushed in his swing. He NEVER wants to get out. Logan is a monkey. Climbing, swinging himself, sliding headfirst - he loves it. Thank you Mimi and Papa for our WONDERFUL swing set that brings us daily joy. It took two days about 12 hours to build - with lots of helping hands;)

Getting to work

What's in Papa's truck?!

It's hot - sunglasses, shirt off, and about to take a long swig of Mountain Dew - nice.

This picture makes me laugh - mom and Logan kicked back and watching the work being done!

"Hi Mimi!"

Day 2 of swing set - A and I were hot outside so we came in to color!

Such a sweet boy in his "cozy pjs" as he calls them ready for the slide to be put up before bed!

All Aboard to Logan's 3rd Birthday Celebration

Guess who's 3?!

LOGAN HUNTER HARRIS is 3!

We chugga-chugga choo-chooed all day to celebrate Logan!

In April I sent out homemade magnetic train ticket invitations with Logan's party info of course!

Then I spent some time getting all the choo choo stuff together, cakes from Publix, Goodie Bags and decorations from Party City, Toys R Us for a Gift, Etsy for a bday shirt, and of course food from a great catering company I know well (Family). We took over 500 pictures at his party. I decided to just post a few:)

YUMMY cakes

My baby, I blinked and he was 3

I am proud of this boy!

I LOVE my family!

We rented a train - L was the conductor!

The train

I rode the train and you see my mom in the way back.

Yep she sang "Come on ride this train" the whole time!

Present time - too many to list. We are blessed and SO thankful to our family and friends for wanting to give Logan a gift to remember. I feel it is my job to make him understand and appreciate each gift and what it means to receive and to give.
