Army Family Day

Evan's favorite spot in the house!
 This weekend, the Army had a family day at Fort Douglas. We braved it and took BOTH boys! Adam had to be there either way for drill, the three of us just tagged along. We decided to not put a pull-up on Logan and just leave him in underwear. That was a little scary! We had never gone anywhere but the store in his underwear. We took a change of pants and underwear for him just in case. I was completely expecting him to have an accident especially because his cousins were there (Adam's brother is in the Army as well). Well, Logan didn't have any accidents at all!!!! I am SO proud of him! He is getting so big! Adam and I are ready to say that Logan is potty trained. There are still some issues we have to work out, like he doesn't tell us when he poops and he puts his underwear back on without wiping. Other than that, I think we are in a good spot! I'm one proud mommy!
Adam had to be at Fort Douglas at 9:45 am for formation and then the family day would officially start at 11:30. Instead of taking two cars, we all just went together and hung out until it started. It was really fun! They had hamburgers and hot dogs for everybody as well as chips, watermelon, drinks, etc. There was also a little tent that had cotton candy, popcorn and snow cones.

After we ate, we took the kids over to the bounce houses they had set up. There was a regular bounce house, a slide and an obstacle course. Logan and his cousins had a blast running around together. After running around for a little bit, a fire truck showed up. The kids got to go see it and even sit in it. Logan thought that was really cool! He loves seeing firetrucks when they pass by.
Evan was a little cranky after a few hours there. He was so tired! I finally got him to fall asleep for a bit. It took a while. He was so tired, but he didn't want to close his eyes because there was too much going on. He didn't want to miss anything.

 Once it was time for Adam to go get in final formation, it started raining! The boys and I booked it to the car. We had some cotton candy with us and, well... we'll just say it didn't look like cotton after long! Logan still had fun eating it though! We were pretty wet when we finally got to the car. It was a little time consuming on my part because I had to put both boys in their carseats and pack up the stroller and put it in the trunk. I was more wet than the boys after that! We sat in the car and waited for Adam to be done with formation. Adam was finally able to leave and we all went home! Evan had a good nap on the car ride.



 When we got home, we laid Evan down for a nap and just relaxed. Once Evan woke up, we all headed to Target to get some formula. We had a fun walk around Target, looking at the things that we wanted but couldn't have. LOL! Story of our lives! :) We got sick of walking around the store and went to check out. I found a punch card for Sub Zero Ice Cream in my wallet that had all the punches! FREE ICE CREAM!!!! We jumped on that! Logan and I went inside to get it while Adam and Evan waited in the car. Logan loves to watch them make the ice cream.


Cotton Candy Face!

 Overall, it was a great weekend! I had so much fun with my family! I love them all so much. My boys are my world! I love being able to have fun with them wherever we go. Logan is just getting so smart and he amazes me with the things he says. Evan is getting so big and I can't believe he will be a year old and a month and a half! Where does the time go?
