School Party

Thanks for the awesome cake, Angie! The girls loved it.
The girls put tattoos on each other. Jordy has a puppy on each cheek, one on her neck and several on her legs. Lookin' pretty sharp! In the picture below: no boyfriends this year! Well, besides Troy from High School Musical!

Jordyn will be turning 6 on Saturday the 29th. Wow, how time flies!! She brought cupcakes to school today and then had all 5 girls in her class to our house. They had a blast. They all played so nice. They had pizza, cake and ice cream. We played duck, duck, goose. (6 year old girls are very silly at that game). Musical chairs got pretty rowdy--my ears are still ringing from all the high pitched squeals when the music stopped. They all sang and danced to Hannah Montana and High School Musical! I am so proud of Jordy--such a sweet girl!!

Happy B-Day

The Girls

The girls continue to be best buds. We are so proud of them!

Vacation Time

We went to Orlando for a week. We left the little ones and the Hubbies behind. We went to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingsom, Sea World, spent a day at the beach, and went La Nouba (Cirque Du Soleil). It was absolutely amazing!! Thanks everyone for such a fun time.

Flyin' Like a Pro

Jordy got her own "wings" from the pilot.

Jackson and Jordy did awesome on the plane. When this picture was taken we hadn't even left Fargo (It was 15 below zero). Jordy had already stripped her sweatshirt off and they both were sportin' the shades.

Beach Bum

Jordy got to see the ocean for the first time. She loved it! She took a few waves to the face and wasn't impressed with the salt water taste. She had fun building sandcastles with Grandpa Dave and Jackson.

Princess Jordy

Jordyn got to meet some of her favorite princesses when we were at Disney World. She was on cloud nine all week long.

Thumper Pond

A few weeks ago we were treated to a fun weekend at Thumper Pond (an indoor water park). My sister and her family were their too. Thank you Rada's and Dietz' for the awesome time!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Grandma Viki!! We are so excited to see you in a few weeks.

First Day of School

Jordy enjoyes school. We had conferences with her teacher the beginning of November and they went well. Her teacher says she is a social butterfly---sometimes, too much!! You know what they say: the apple never falls too far from the tree.

SHE WORE AN....

itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini!!! Jordy had fun singing that song this summer.

My baby is 3!!!

Kacie turned 3 in July. We had a big gathering at the lake. She wanted a Care Bear theme. So, Care Bear it was. She got tuckered out by mid afternoon and took a little snooze in the swing. How precious!

This was a hot summer day at the lake. We had to drag the girls out of the water to attend Great Grandma Jean and Great Grandpa Milt's 50th wedding anniversary.

Looks Like Trouble

Yep, those are Q-Tips in her ears. For about a month straight, if we would turn our backs on Kacie, that is what we would find. Fortunately, she does not do that any more. (She must of jabbed one in a little too far)!

Preschool Party

I helped out at Jordy's preschool Christmas Party. One of the projects was to make reindeer food for Rudolph. It was hard for her to have to wait and save it for the night before Christmas when we sprinkled it in the snow for Rudolph to eat. It must have been good because he ate every last piece!

Winter Fun

The girls had fun playing with Kieran this winter.




They also enjoyed playing outside with our
neighbors, Alex and Camille!

Not too shabby!!!

This was the best picture from our session last week. As you can see, we had to stick Kacie and Brody's hinders in the seat so they couldn't move!

Picture Day

Jordyn had her preschool pictures taken today. She was posing for the camera this morning. The girls joined my sisters three kids this afternoon for some "grandkid" pictures. WOW, was that interesting!! Ages: 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1. Lets just say we made Tera work for her money this afternoon!

Happy Haloween

The girls had a busy halloween. We started the morning getting costumes on and going to the daycare halloween party. The kids went trick-or-treating room to room and Jordys group went and got some treats from the bank and the strip mall that is near by. Bob and I then picked the girls up and we brought them to grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, and cousins houses. They were beat!!!! We had fun and I am enjoying all the candy!!!!

ELMO

Kacie looked so cute in her costume. She picked Elmo out herself. What a cutie!!!!

Ariel

Jordyn had quite the time picking out her halloween costume this year. Her first costume was bought on August 24th. She saw it at the Childrens Place. It was a black cat. I made a deal with her. We could get it, but we could not take the tags off. (Reminding her that there were still 2 months until halloween. She was going to see a lot more costumes). About 2 weeks later, we were at the Childrens Place again (they have so many good deals there), she saw a princess costume. "Oh, Mom, this is what I have always wanted to be". I had her think about it and I told her the next time we went to the mall we could exchange the costumes if she really wanted to be the princess. Sure enough we exchanged it. A few days later we were at Target shopping for a birthday gift. We were in the dress-up isle. She saw this little mermaid dress. "Oh, Mom, I have always wanted to be Ariel". (Are you kidding me)!!!! So, to make a long discussion short, we got Ariel and took the tags off when we got home. No more changing our mind this year. She then says, "you know, if I see Barbie Mermaidia, that is what I have always wanted to be". I said, "that will be a great idea for next year". Holy cow, 4-year-olds!!!

Carvin' Pumpkins

Bob and Jordyn had a great time carving a pumpkin. Jordy really got into it!! Kacie could have really cared less. Jordy was the designer. "Cool pumpkins have square eyes". So square eyes it was!
