September 09

September was a great month. We had bridal showers and weddings.......(pictures to come.) Congrats To Josh and Bailey.....we are so happy to have Bailey as a part of our family...India justs loves her Aunt Bailey. I believe a Congrats is in order For Rogene and Johnny who also got married in September. Well We finally had our homestudy done for the adoption on the 24th, glad that part is over, now just one more step and it will be final. I am hoping that it is final by the end of Oct. or the first part of Nov. India tells everyone that She is India Logue. Also my sister Kayla is down from Alaska for a while and Chels will be here for Christmas( maybe we can get some updated family pics...lol). Well in just three weeks India will be five......that is so crazy, (she is 5 going on 25) she is growing up way to fast. I can not believe how cold it is getting already......we can't win with the weather it is either really hot or really cold....no middle ground. More to come soon for the month of October........its a busy month in my house.

TO END THE SUMMER............YEAH!!!!

WELL SUMMER IS AT AN END AND THE SCHOOL YEAR IS BACK, AND OF COURSE BIRTHDAYS, BIRTHDAYS AND MORE BIRTHDAYS!!!!
WELL INDIA HAD A LONG WEEK LAST WEEK AS WE GOT EVERYTHING READY FOR BACK TO SCHOOL. SHE HAD TO GET GLASSES, SHE GOT HER HAIR BRAIDED, WENT TO GYMNASTICS, THE DENTIST AND STARTED HORSE RIDING LESSONS, BUT SHE DIDN’T COMPLAIN TO MUCH. (HAHAHA) BUT SHE MADE IT AND WENT BACK TO SCHOOL YESTERDAY…..SHE SAID SHE HAD A LOT OF FUN BECAUSE THEY WENT ON A "BEAR HUNT". SHE WAS A LITTLE SAD THAT MS. AMANDA WAS NOT GOING TO BE HER TEACHER BUT SHE WAS ALSO EXCITED THAT MS. STAR WAS COMING BACK. SHE WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE MS. LONA AND ALL HER FRIENDS FROM LAST YEAR. OH YEAH SHE ALSO GOT A NEW BED THAT SHE IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT!!!
SO AUGUST IS A BIG BIRTHDAY MONTH FOR ME AND SO I JUST WANT TO TELL EVERYONE HAPPY BIRTHDAY. (DAD, JULIE, JOSH, JACI, LOS, AND JARED) WE LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT JARED AND JACI ARE SENIORS……….I FEEL OLD.
IT JUST AMAZES ME HOW FAST TIME GOES BY; INDIA IS GOING TO BE 5 IN OCT, LAYLA WILL BE 4 IN MARCH AND MCKINLEY WILL BE 1 IN NOV. IT SEEMS LIKE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO INDIA WAS BORN.
WELL AS FOR ME I AM JUST WORKING, I TOOK THIS SEMESTER OFF OF SCHOOL AND I WILL BE BACK IN SCHOOL NEXT SEMESTER, BUT THAT IS ALL ON MY END.

India had her May Day dance on May 7,2009. She did very good. last year she didn't dance till the middle of the song but this year she danced from the very beginning. GOOD JOB BABY!!! I am so proud of her and she is growing up so fast. I tell her all the time to stop growing, she is going to be so tall.

HELLO EVERYONE,

WELL I DECIDED TO START A BLOG!!(DUH) BUT IT MAY TAKE ME A LITTLE WHILE TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT ALL WORKS! SO BE PATIENT WITH ME.
