Happy Birthday Jordyn Leigh

7 years ago....Wow! Where has the time gone? This little girl is such a sweetie. She is always putting others first ("always" is a strong word...so, let's just say, most of the time). We were going to have her "family" birthday party today at our house, but due to the flood we postponed it. We are so proud of her for being so understanding.

Flood 09

Scroll down and pause the music on the right hand side of the screen before pressing play on the video. This is a scary time for all of us. We are currently dry in Kindred; however, we have lots of friends in the Fargo/Moorhead and surrounding areas struggling to save their homes. Please keep all of us in your prayers.

Spring Fever

Kacie and I stayed home yesterday and enjoyed the beautiful day. She begged all morning to go outside and dribble (thatta girl). We found a basketball but not the pump. She didn't seem to mind that the ball was only half full of air.


Kacie said, "since it's so hot out and almost summer (it was 50 degrees), can I have an icee"? How could I resist.

What a Mess

Kacie got busted jumping in the puddles at the end of our driveway. I love spring--I am loving this nice weather--but I can't stand the huge mess! I have washed coats and snowpants 2 days in a row. Could do without that! Just an FYI: waterproof--yeah, not so much!!

Family Scrapbook Pages

I have enjoyed making this family scrapbook. I look forward to updating the album next week on my scrapbooking retreat. I also enjoy looking at my beautiful choices of hair styles I chose throughout the years.

Often wonder...

what these two would do without each other. They are the best of friends. We love them so much!!

The "new" do

She doesn't look like my little baby anymore! I will often find her looking in the mirror to make sure her hair is still short. She loves it!

Does it get much cuter...

than a hot pink cast. Jordy was a trooper for 2 weeks while this was on. I am pretty sure it didn't slow her down at all.

1st post...

on my new computer!! I am so excited for all the adventures ahead of me. I couldn't resist taking this picture. It was taken the morning before Kacie got her haircut. She is modeling my glasses!

2 months later...

Still waiting for my computer. March 2nd is the big day! I can't believe it is the middle of February!! A few updates: Jordy broke her foot and was in a hot pink cast for two weeks and loved all the attention. Kacie had "stink eye" (pink eye) as she called it. The last 3 weeks they have both danced(Just For Kix) at half time of Kindred basketball games. Kacie is obsessed with talking about dying, wanting a puppy, and going to jail--no particular order. Jordyn can sing every word to many Taylor Swift songs--her favorite is "Love Story". They both look forward to swimming lessons next month.

Blogging Withdrawls

I can't stand it anymore--our 1970's (not quite that old) computer has had enough. (The other day I sat here for 3 hours trying to download pics to my blog). Yikes--as if I had nothing else to do! We are in the process of getting a new one. I will post pics of all the fun happenings around the Burner house at a later date. Hope everyone has a safe holiday season! I will leave you to listen to the girls favorite holiday song--"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".

Halloween

We had a great halloween! You can't imagine all the candy that I have to try to keep my hands off. Thanks everyone for a great time.

Halloween Party

Thanks W. family for a great party. We had a blast!

Fall Photos

Love these girls so much!

Love Her.

Why haven't I been Blogging?

Well, Bob fell off a roof on September 12th. He crushed his left heel. He had an appointment yesterday and they decided that he wouldn't need surgery. What a blessing! He will be in a cast for about 8 weeks. He is already complaining how bored he is. Is it too early in his injury to make a "honey do" list? I don't think so! The girls have been awesome helpers while Daddy has been down.

Fun Day Off

Kacie and I met Jordyn at school for lunch today. Tator-tot hotdish! Kacie and I then went to take some pics. Betweeen the scratch on her arm (that is practically gone), the sun in her eyes, and just the fact that she didn't want to take pictures--we still managed to get a few.


And yes....I did bribe her with Swedish Fish!

"We'll See"

I told Jordy that school pictures are next week. She showed me how she was going to smile. She showed me (see pic below) and said, "should I do that"? I told her I would prefer a nice smile, not a silly one. She said, "we'll see".

Home Alone

Kacie started preschool today (Care Bear back pack and all). She is excited to learn lots of new things. I don't know what to do with myself. Jordy is at school...Kacie is gone....hmmm....could wash some clothes...no, maybe I should pay some bills...no, how about kick my legs up and read. I never thought the time would come that I could do that at 10:00am! Hope everyone has a great day.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great weekend. Bob and I started Friday night with a date. Thanks Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Dave for taking such great care of the girls. Saturday night we grilled and played pinochle with Gma Peggy and Gpa Dave. Sunday we were treated with an overnight stay at the Mariott. The kids had a blast and Amy and played Blokus (highly recommended) until midnight. Thanks everyone for a great time. On Monday we had a nice quiet family day. We played games all day long. Jordy rocked at monopoly!
