One of My Greatest Blessings

I think I will continue the blog challenge at some point because I had a lot of fun with it but I'm going to take a break for now and post something about one of the sweetest angels in existence.  My oldest nephew, Will, turns 8 in a couple weeks and is getting baptized at the beginning of June.  His parents had baptism pictures taken of him and they are definitely one of the most adorable things I have ever seen!  It helps to know his stinkin' cute personality but the pictures speak for themselves :)  I had a hard time choosing but here are a few of my favorites:

Unfortunately Will's family lives in Minnesota due to my brother's job but that hasn't stopped me from visiting as often as possible!  I can't wait to share his special baptism experience with him in a few weeks and am so glad he's my little stud muffin!

~Blog Challenge Sabbatical~

I have loved this blog challenge business--much more than I thought I would for sure! What I love even more, however, is the thought of going on a week long cruise with Logan! No school, no work, no worries :) Catch y'all in 7!

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 6

5 Favorite TV Shows


Liz:
1. Jazz games!
2. House Hunters
3. My First Place
4. Property Virgins (Only if the host is Sandra!)
5. Property Brothers



I know all of those shows are on HGTV so it might not count but that's really the only thing I ever watch if I'm not watching a Jazz game!


Logan: 
1. Man vs Wild
2. Arthur (growing up, I hope!)
3. House Hunters
4. Planet Earth
5. Fear Factor


I'm pretty sure Logan's life would be complete if he ever got the chance to meet Bear Grylls.  He basically lives by everything that man says or does!

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 5

A Picture of Somewhere You've Been:

Liz:

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico!

This is by far one of the coolest things I have ever done!  I went on a cruise in May of 2010 with my mom and some friends and this is one of the excursions we did.  I always worry that I'm going to pay for something at one of the ports and it won't be worth the money but this was definitely worth it plus some! I was amazed at how well trained the dolphins were and everything they could do.  If you ever have an opportunity to swim with dolphins, take it!

Logan:

Klagenfurt, Austria

Klagenfurt, Austria

As I mentioned in day 1 of this challenge, Logan served his mission in Germany and Austria.  We figured the most convenient way to send pictures to each other while he was gone would be to send a memory card back and forth with the pictures we had taken on it.  I still remember the day I got the memory card in the mail and these two pictures were on it!  I have never forgotten them!  I couldn't pick one to post so I had to put both.  Here is what Logan has to say about them: (Top Picture) "I had no idea if it was going to attack me.  I might have feared for my life for a second." (Bottom Picture) "That view of Italy was amazing.  It's a good thing I didn't slip on that small ledge because the fall was hundreds of feet."  To say I was terrified when I saw this picture is an understatement!

Day 6: 5 Favorite TV Shows

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 4

A Habit You Wish You Didn't Have:


Liz: 


While there are many things that I should do less/more of, the first "bad" habit that came to my mind is my love/passion/obsession for the Jazz.  That doesn't sound so terrible at first because what's wrong with being an avid Jazz fan, right?  Wrong.  Ever since I can remember, I live and die by the Jazz in the worst way possible.  Although I have tried to be better lately, I was awful in high school.  There were many moments when the Jazz would lose and I wouldn't talk to anybody and if I did, I felt bad for the other person haha.  (THIS picture just about sums me up on a night the Jazz lose!)  On the flip side, if the Jazz win, I'm without a doubt the happiest person in the world!  I feel as high as a kite and nothing can put me in a bad mood.  Logan is very much aware of my issue and I know he really dislikes it.  I've been pretty good ever since we got married but I will occasionally tease him by telling him that he needs to cheer extra hard for the Jazz to win so I can be in a good mood the rest of the night haha.  (I'm totally joking, of course!) 


Logan:


When I asked Logan what habit he wishes he didn't have he thought for a minute and then said: "Candy.  I wish I didn't eat so much candy!"  I have to agree, the boy does love sweets, especially fruity ones.  I know Logan loves holidays because there's so much candy lying around all the time.  He would probably eat candy the rest of his life for every meal if I let him! ;) I'm kinda surprised THIS wasn't our wedding! Good thing he's skinny, right?

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 3

A Picture of You and Your Friends:

One of the (MANY) wonderful things about being married to Logan is that we have the same group of close friends.  Having gone to Jr. High and High School together, we hung out with the same fantastic friends and have stayed close with them ever since.  I have known the majority of the people in this picture since we were wee ones in kindergarten and I am so grateful we are still just as close!
