End of Summer

We've had a wonderful end to our summer, and beginning of fall! I love fall the colors are fantastic and of course the holidays are great too! Logan and I had a great trip to Utah for Aunt Bug's wedding. We also had a great visit with family from Utah (miss you Uncle Roland and Aunt Kris). We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the crisp beginning of fall. I know we will!!

We had a great day at Belvedere Plantation. Picking pumpkins, face painting, feeding animals, pig races, games, rides and much much more! What a great day! And a perfect way to start off the Halloween Holiday, the kids had a great time!!




The kids had fun feeding the animals and bouncing around together. Logan was a little crazy on the bouncy toy. He kept leaning over the side and almost falling off!! Nothing new with our Bam-Bam.

Better late than never......right?

I know, I know its been a while since our last post. But we've had a fun summer, and start of fall. It's been packed full. We've had lots to do and catch up on and a ton of pictures to choose from. Our kids have grown and changed so much from the last time we blogged so here is a little update on everyone.




Savannah turned 4 years old!! Crazy how fast time goes. She is our big helper. And such a great big sister! Eliza and Logan are very lucky! Savannah loves to dance and sing around the house, and she loves to draw and paint, and anything to do with the water! She loves going boating, tubing, and going fast on the jetski! She is so smart and beautiful! We are so blessed to have her as ours.

Eliza is 2 years old now! She is still our "Pistol Pete" just as busy and cute as ever. We just have to sit back and let her go because we never know what to expect. She always makes us laugh. She loves to dance and jam out with her Daddy in the car, as long as the music is LOUD! Like Savannah as well she enjoys most things envolving the water! Boating, swimming and her new favorite is the jetski (just not to fast) We are so grateful for her.



Big "L" or BAM-BAM in now 19 months old!! I know I know when did that happen? Logan is such a little man now! Walking at nine months to keep up with his big sisters. He shows us daily how determined he is. Its been really fun to see the differences between boys and girls. Logan is the type of kid who just does his own thing. And is really low drama, unlike his sisters! But he is learning well how to throw a fit. He is all boy though likes anything that makes noise and loves any kind of ball and throwing anything he can get his hands on. He has quite a good arm for such a little guy. We sure love him and are thankful for him.


We hope everyone is enjoyed their summer and is getting into the groove of fall! Love and miss you all!

Here is our new addition to the family

Logan James Ballou weighing in at 6 lbs 15 ounces, and 20 inches long. Just a bit bigger than his sisters. He is such a great baby!! We are so lucky and blessed to have our new little man in our lives. Both Savannah and Eliza just love him to pieces. They constantly want to give him kisses and hugs. They are both such great big sisters, Logan is a lucky boy.

So life has been very busy but a lot of fun. Savannah will be turning 3 here in a few months. She is my biggest helper, always willing to serve and eager to please. She is an amazing big sister. I have to say one of my favorite things about Savannah is still her spunky personality. She is our "Drama Queen" She can bring it with the best of them. Which can prove to be a challenge at times, but honestly we hope that passion she shows never goes away.

Eliza is what we call our "Loaded Pistol". She runs around here like a bullet out of a gun. She just turned a year old, and there is only one speed with that girl "Full speed". But I have to say she also has one of the sweetest dispositions. Eliza is still very much our Daddy's girl. It doesn't matter when or where she could be sick or feeling just fine and given the choice she would pick her Daddy every time. Both of the girls are growing and changing so much its amazing to see how different they are, but they both love being big sisters!! Logan is growing and changing so fast already. He is a very happy baby, with a very contagious smile. Just like his sisters he's got the best dimples ever!! He is already sleeping through the night, so I really have no room to complain. He is a great baby!!

Beau and I are doing well. Beau is still working for UPS and is doing really well. He is an amazing Father and Husband. I am very lucky and blessed to have such an amazing man in my life. I know I couldn't do it without him and all his help, Thanks Love!!! We are enjoying our family and the time we have to spend together. And are looking forward to a summer of fun!!
