Ready for spring!

Today we had an odd spike in the temp, so of course we had to go outside and enjoy it. It was about 65 here, perfect soccer weather. We took a nice little afternoon trip to the park to play soccer. Jordan had so much fun, she cant wait to play on a little team. Hopefully we will be doing that soon, going to have to figure out when that is. 


Jordan being the goalie!!!

All day she ran around singing " I am a soccer monster!!" a song from the backyardagans

Going for a throw in

Ok, I dont know what is going on here, but it looked so funny I had to put it in. Its some pretty intense soccer playing though! lol i dont think this ended in anyone falling, strangely enough!?

This is Jordans "grumpy face" she was made because we scored on her. Gonna have to get her over not always being the winner!

This was lots of fun! Man I cant wait until we have more warm days!!

Jordans 4th Bday!!!!

Unfortuantly I have been so super busy and my computer has been on the fritz i havent posted about Jordans Party. However im here now and its still January so i think it still counts! :) We had her party at Grace Church's indoor play place! It was alot of fun. Jordan had several friends and family there and we had lots of great snacks, thanks to mr. chef  Derek again! Jordan decided that she wanted a charlie brown cake, curious george hats and goodie bags, and pink plates! She hasnt quite learned matching haha. But she loved it so we went with it. Its too bad we live too far away from her friends though, she misses them alot. We are going to have to make some trips up as it gets warmer for playdates!


This is our charlie brown cake we made for her, she loved it, we found out how hard fondant is to use!!! Next year we will practice before hand!!

Full view of the cake!

The kids were at least really excited about the cake, despite the smudges and cracked dog house! haha

Everyone had finger in before i could even take off the candles! Must have looked pretty tasty!

Jordan diggin in! The cake was chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla!


Dirty face!



Jordan and Bradley trying our marzapan bushes! Dont think they liked them! haha They smelled like cherry at least!

Emily Woodward and her newest lil one, Easton along with my mom.

Ben! Jordan's lil cousin enjoying some of our party snacks!

To be honest I can not tell the twins apart so this is either Carson or Clark. I put little stick on  mustaches in the goodie bags because i thought it would make a cute picture if all the kids found them as funny as i did. Not many did though, but we still got some good laughs out of them! :)

Cute picture of ben ( several of these great pictures are here courtesy of Emily! She has a much better camera than me!! I need to get a better one too! Her pictures are so clear!!! Beautiful


Tava, Jordan, and Bradley!!!

Drinking all her "wine" before the countdown even began

Today it was unusally warm outside so we took Jordan to the park to try out her new bike. She was really excited and qucik learner!


She loves her helmet


Daddy Derek pushing her on the swing "super high" and her shoe flew off!

Later she met a new friend at the park and they ate a whole bag of grapes together.  Then they ran around and played soccer until it was time to go.
