Logan's 18th Birthday!!!

A certain, VERY special, and

very handsome student of mine

celebrated his 18th birthday

on January 22nd!!!!!!!!

I do not usually make a cake for my 

students on their birthday, but

when my student is also my 

nephew...we CELEBRATE!!!:)

And the whole class gets to benefit!!!

I absolutely love having Logan in my 

senior English class.  He is such a 

great kid!  He truly is!!!  And I'm not

just saying that because I'm his aunt.

He is SO smart, hardworking,

friendly and fun.  I love him!!!

That night we celebrated as a family:)

Logan requested Grandmother's

famous chocolate cake!!!

Big kid at heart:)

How cute are they?!?

Missing Macy at Texas State though:(

Singing to our Birthday Boy!!!

I'm praying his wish comes true!!!

My kids absolutely adore Logolo!!!

We had so much fun celebrating

this good lookin' 18 year old!!!

And one without the photo bombing Walker D...

Logan and his best friend, Chris...

Troy was out of town and Hunter had to work :(

But we managed to have lots of FUN:)))

Logan has SUCH a great smile!

And a kind, sensitive heart to go with it:)

Walker is such a combination of

Travis and Logan.  I love that!!!

Hadlee just worships Logan...he's so

sweet with her.  And, well, Logan

thinks Hudson hung the moon!:)

I can't believe this is the little baby

boy who my sister let me DRIVE

in my car in his little infant seat

down to Baylor to my house

(the Green Hizow) to show him off

to all of my friends. 

Also the tiny little baby who was so sick with

the whooping cough when he was three

weeks old and had to be in the hospital

for weeks:(  He's grown up to be such 

a fine, young man.  I couldn't love him more!

None of us could be more proud 

of our Logan!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Logan's T-Pa (Terry's dad) passed away the

day after his birthday:( These were such

horrible and sad days for them.  I am so

thankful that we stopped to celebrate

our Logan.  He deserves MUCH celebration!!!

Happy 18th Birthday, Logolo!

"I thank my God every

time I remember you."

Philippians 1:3

Delightful :)

My dad has always said I'm the apple

of his eye.  I know exactly what he means now:)

This little girl happens to be the apple

of not only my eye, but also her daddy's!

AND her PaPa's.  AND Wendell's.

And even others:)

She's a special little girl

and we love her so much. 

All of the sudden in the last couple of

weeks, she has really been into her hair.

As in wanting me to straighten it,

put it in pig tails, a low side pony tail

or braids.  She's so precious:)

EXCEPT for the other day when she

mentioned a game she was playing outside

at recess with her friends.

I asked what it was called?

"Chasing Boys"

Oh noooooo she diiiiiiiient say that!

"You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart..."

Hudson's 3rd Birthday PARTY!!!

SO excited to celebrate the

"Neighborhood Friendly Spiderman"

for his THIRD birthday!!!

Look who was in full character;)

Mommy loves a theme!  :)

Not two, Bubba!!!

"THWEEEEE"

Pretty much every day of the week

Hudson wears a Spiderman costume.

All of the sudden on the morning of

his actual party, he informed he was

not wearing his "coootume"  :(

...UNTIL Bryce arrived in his

black Spiderman costume!!!

More SuperHeroes...

Dylan & Brady!

Love this Spiderman SOOOOO much!

Spidey loves Grandmother!!!

Some of Spidey's greatest loves...

Janice & Adrienne!

Spiderman protecting "Marwee Jane" (Mary Jane)

Time for Gifts!!!

Silly Spider Girl!  :)

She wasn't the only one! ;)

Barkley Loves!

Then it was time for CaKE! 

I cracked up when I noticed Walker

setting up his Flip AND tripod!!!!!!!

At this point, Hudson was way more

into his new toys than his cake!

Why I let him open presents first, I don't know!!!

Singing HaPpY BiRThDay to the

sweetest Spiderman in the world!!!

This little love is my heart!!!

Make a wish, Sweet Boy!

Now, back to his new toys!!!

We crack up ALL the time because Hudson

likes to call me Mary Jane (Peter Parker's

girlfriend in the movie).  He loves to

give his Marweee Jane kisses;)

He is perfect to me:)

Daddy wanted a kiss, too!  

Beautiful RoRo knows the way

to Spiderman's heart!!!  

GORGEOUS "house party"!!!!!!

Hudson loves Mr. Casey:)

Logolo Lovin!!!!!!!!!!

Time for the Pinata!!!!!!!!

Big Huds was up first...

Spidey found CaNdY!!!!

THEN a special guest arrived...

Spiderman Himself!!!

I like kissing my Spidey much

 better than this one!  ;)

Okay, so maybe it was actually the pinata!

But boy did we have fun with him:)

He was a BIG hit!!!

And to think...I had worried about having

enough "entertainment" at the party!  

I had even complained about an empty

pinata costing $18!  Best money I ever spent!  ;)

Elizabeth felt left out that she

had not had her picture with Spiderman!

OUR real Spidey didn't like the

new Spiderman much at all!  ;)

Spiderman Hudson WINS!!! :)

Spiderman was SO hitting on Macy!!!

My favorite;)

Our neighborhood friendly Spiderman

is blessed with SUCH sweet friends...

...and FAMILY:)

Trey and Abby left the party before

"Spiderman" showed up so he

had to make a special trip down the street...

Even George wanted his picture with Spiderman;)

Patsy, too!!!

Then it was off to Walker's basketball

game.  Poor Spidey was tired! 

It was SUCH a special day

celebrating the most special

Spiderman in the WORLD!!!

We couldn't love him more:)

Peace out, Hudson...

We LOVE celebrating YOU!!!

Can't wait to see what your THIRD year

blessing our lives brings!!!

You are nothing but pure love

and joy.  Your imagination is

something to behold! :)

Can't EVEN imagine life without

the best neighborhood friendly

Spiderman there EVER was!!!

"This is the LORD's doing,

and it is wonderful to see."

Psalm 118:23
