Birthday Marshmallows

For breakfast, Tristan asked if we could have marshmallows. I said sure, for Logan's birthday. Why not? Tristan dug in, but Logan just looked at his. It took him a minute to figure out what it was.... and then he plugged it in his ear. :-)


Happy Birthday, Logan!
We can't believe you're already 2 years old!!!

Mud


To give equal time to both boys, here are some pics of Tristan. The only problem with our new house is the yard. It LOVES to turn into mud when it rains a lot... and lately, it has rained... a LOT. Tristan, of course, doesn't see this as a problem, but as an opportunity. Matt said that his poor drowned cars looked like New Orleans, when he went with the Guard to help with Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. Poor cars...




Sleepy



OK, so I haven't posted in a LOONNNNGGGGG time. Sorry, guys! There's just been so much going on. Lots of sickness, and we moved into a rent house (which we love!) Anyway, just had to post this video of Logan from Friday. Poor guy woke up super early, refused to take a nap all day, and then fell asleep in his pork chops at dinner. Sorry the video is sideways... I forgot that you can't rotate a video. Just turn your head sideways. :)

David Cook Rocks!!!

Last night, I got to go hang out with some of my girlfriends & see David Cook in concert. It was AWESOME!!! Many thanks to Anna for the tickets in the middle of the third row. They were absolutely the most perfect seats in the place. I've posted all of the pics I took on Facebook, but here are a few of my favorites...

Happy Anniversary

Last night, Matt and I went to stay at the Doubletree Hotel in Little Rock for our 11th anniversary. (Many thanks to Mom for staying over & keeping the kiddos!) We had a great time. This hotel used to be the Camelot, and that seems like a more appropriate name for it, since we felt like a king & queen. We stayed in the executive suite on the 14th floor. When we got in the elevator, the guy in there asked us what floor. When we asked him to press 14, he said "Wow!" I felt very special! We even had to use our key card in the elevator, just to access our floor.

Our room was beautiful. We had a king-size bed with a cool headboard. There was a walk-in shower in the bathroom, along with combed terry towels, jumbo robes, and Neutrogena bath products. The television was a 42" swivel flat screen. Sweet! We even had a private balcony with a view of the Arkansas River. It was beautiful.

There was a private lounge on the 14th floor, where we enjoyed free hors d'oerves, and happy hour prices on wine & beer. We each had a Heineken for only $1.50 each. Not bad! The woman working in the lounge, Linda, was wonderful. She took our picture for us, and even sent some food back to our room for us. The pictures of her are when she was packing up the food for us. What a sweetheart!

After we left the lounge, we watched Dream Girls on HBO while enjoying room service. I ordered a sandwich, and Matt had the New York strip steak. We had shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, bread pudding for dessert, and 2 mini bottles of champagne. Delicious!!

After a wonderful night's sleep on the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever found, we had a leisurely morning hanging out in the room, followed by a breakfast buffet downstairs. We got back home, totally happy & relaxed, at 11:30 this morning.

Wow! I can't believe we've been married for 11 years. We've definitely had our highs and lows, but I can honestly say that I love my husband now more than ever. And I can't wait for the next 10, 20, 30, 40+ years with this man. He is my dream come true. I love you, sweetheart. Thank you so very much for the most wonderful anniversary ever!















I love my Logan Logan!

Logan loves his Daddy!!

I Love Kroger!!!

Last October, I posted this...

http://thepercifuls.blogspot.com/2008/10/im-jana-perciful-and-i-approved-this.html

about why I love Kroger. Now I have another reason. Today, after I picked Tristan up from preschool, we ran to Kroger for a few items. When we were leaving the store, it was pouring rain, and I was trying to load child & groceries into the car as fast as I could. A couple of hours later, we received a call from Kroger. The "cart guy" (the guy that brings all the carts back in from the parking lot, who probably doesn't make a ton of money) had found my wallet in the cart. Besides a debit card & credit card, it also had $40 cash inside. Everything was still intact when Matt went to retrieve it. Wow! I hate to think what a pain it would have been if they hadn't found & returned it.

Thank you, Kroger! I continue to be a loyal customer!

A Fan of Sand

Tristan stayed a few days with my parents, so he wouldn't catch Logan's RSV. Yesterday, Dad & Mom had to go to Hot Springs for Stephanie's dance competition, so Tristan spent the day with my friend Holly. He had a blast! These are some pictures she sent me of him playing outside in the sand. :-)
