Logan's 3!

On August 5th our baby boy turned 3!  Those three years sure did go fast.  Logan has grown up so much.  He has such a personality and makes us smile every day.  He loves Lily so much and is a great big brother.  Every morning when Lily gets up he runs up to her and says "oh sweetie" or "good morning sweetie".  It is super cute.  Even though we know Logan loves his sister there are times where you would think the world was ending because Lily got into one of his toys or is touching his blanket.  Unfortunately at the turn of 3 tantrums do not stop :(  Logan is getting better about understanding consequences for his bad behavior so we are working through those moments.
We are having a combined party for Logan and Lily because their birthdays are so close together.  But we wanted to make Logan's actual birthday special for him.  Both grandparents came to visit for the day.  We all headed off to Como Zoo in the afternoon to check out the rides.  Logan enjoyed himself!  Here are some pics of his big day.

Riding the horse buggy

Teacups with mom...Logan kept putting his arms back and relaxing during the ride...so funny!

Definitely Logan's favorite, bumper cars with dad

Logan loves fire trucks!

Riding the train

A little tired after all that fun!

After that nap he was ready for presents!

Look at that smile...someone was pretty excited about getting a fire truck!

Did I mention Logan LOVES trucks.  He plays with his "big rig" everyday!

Letting us know he's 3

I think our little man enjoyed his day!  Love you Logan!!

Yes, Lily joined in on all the action too :)

Bonnema Vacation {Sioux Fall, SD}

Yikes!  I'm starting to fall behind on posting. I need to catch up so I don't get into trouble with our grandmas :)   In July we took a vacation with the Bonnema side of our family to Sioux Falls to stay at a water park and go to the Blue Angels air show.  Even in the extreme heat we were able to have a blast.  I know Logan loved it because he asks almost weekly to go back to the air show!  Here are some pics from our vacation.
