Happy Birthday, Logan!

Logan had his 3rd birthday today, well I guess technically yesterday. He is such a sweet boy. He loved every second of his birthday. We are down in Utah this week. So last night I put his presents on Sue's kitchen table. This morning he woke up before me, of course! Mommy loves her sleep. Even though I told him yes the first time he came in my room 5 times asking if he could open his presents. He was so excited. He loved his new Mr. Potato Head and Lightning McQueen shirt and matching jacket (that really lights up). As far as Logan is concerned, I am the coolest mom ever. I love that he is satisfied with birthday gifts under $20. I wonder how long that will last? Anyways...so I had to draw the line when he asked if he could eat his birthday cake for breakfast. I took him to Cabella's to look at the real stuffed animals (good thing I am not a member of PETA) and the fish. It was our first time and Logan thought it was pretty cool. At night we met Grandpa Doog at Chuckie Cheese's. Logan loves that place. He has been asking for months to go there for his birthday. We finished the night off at my favorite restaurant, McDonalds. Maybe I am the coolest mom ever. I haven't met any moms that loves McDonalds as much as me. We had a blast today. I think the b-day festivities were a success. I'd have to say that Logan is starting to become my new BFF. Sorry Dane, you are going to have to step up your game!

Pine Wood Derby

As Young Women's President, I decided to put on a Pinewood Derby: Young Men vs. Young Women. I always felt jipped out that I never got to race a pine wood derby car. Naturally, I made a car with all of the Young Women. We recruited a Pinewood Derby expert in our ward to be our coach. The young women smoked the boys. The girls took the top six places. Who was the first place winner? You might be asking yourselves. That's right, yours truly took first place with my pink sparkly car. Logan has since taken ownership of the pink car. He is proud of his mommy's fast car.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Layla Sue

So no one probably looks at our blog anymore because it has been forever since I've posted anything. You know it is bad news when it is almost St. Patty's Day and my last blog says Summer Fun. Well here is our not so new addition to the Nielsen Family. Layla is almost 5 months old now. She is a super good baby. We love her crazy hair and her toothy smile.
