Loganism

*Day 337*

I was waking Logan up.  I really like to wake him up because he doesn't want to get out of bed so he gets all cuddly and gives me these sleepy smiles, which are adorable.  Then he offers to read to me.  It would be wonderful quality time if it wasn't making us late for work and school.  So, I love it, but we don't usually have time for it.  Until I can get up earlier.  And that would probably be worth getting up early for, but then I would probably fall back asleep in his bed, and we'd be really late.  OK, now I'm going to get back to my original thought. 

The other day I went in to wake Logan up.  As usual, he got cuddly and was hugging me.  I said something to him that ended with, "My only son."
And Logan says, "I'm not your only son."
Mom, "Well, who's my other son?"
Logan, "Dad."

2 Cars

*Day 333*

We're almost a 2 car family again.  My dad and Darrell came over today to help Matt put a new starter in the car.  It works now!  But it sounded kind of horrible, so I don't know if we're going to have to do something else big.  It took them all afternoon to put in the starter.  They have to take half the car  part to get to it.  When they were finishing, I laughed because this is the shirt my dad was wearing. 

 I hope it didn't really ruin his whole day.  I really appreciate my dad for be willing to help us.  And Matt for working on figuring it out, and crawling under car even though he got grease all over his Jets shirt.  It's a huge relief to be able to take care of these things without having to pay someone a ton of money I don't have.

Happy Birthday Dad!

*Day 264*


This is my dad teaching Logan how to shoot a gun.

When I was a kid, I thought my dad was so cool. I remember regularly rattling off a list of things my dad had made to impress to friends and acquaintances. Now, I always think, "My dad could fix that." But, building and fixing things isn't the only cool thing about my dad. I love that as a dad he was so supportive of all his kids. When I was running track, he would come and watch me run. But, he would also sit in the stands and time my laps for me. He would come down after I ran and tell me where I slowed down. (It was always the third lap.) Even when I slowed down in the third lap, (and I always did) he was still proud of me. He is also a wonderful grandpa. I love to watch him with his grandkids. I love that he gets so excited to see Logan. (Except maybe after he's spent a whole week him, and Logan's been a pain, and we're all tired. But, that's understandable.) They love him so much. He teases Logan. Logan isn't always good at taking it, and sometimes he teases back too hard. But, he tells jokes that make us all giggle. Logan thinks he is so funny. In fact Logan and I want to dedicate some songs to my dad for his birthday.


Logan is teasing my dad back, by pinching him with the tongs.

Logan would like to dedicate the following song to Grandpa Breinholt:

Oh, say can you see
Any bedbugs on me?
They itch and they scratch
All over my back.

We would also like to dedicate this song. Grandpa sang it to Logan while we were on vacation. It was an instant hit. Logan asked him to sing it over and over again. The kids at daycare know this song now because Logan has sang it so much. (You need to read this with a country twang, because that is how I'm writing it. And it just sounds better that way.)

Rye whiskey, Rye whiskey
Wild women.
I'll drink when I'm thirsty,
And I'll live til I die.

Thanks to dad for teaching us these songs!

Thank you dad! We love you!
