Jordan's turning ONE

I can't believe the time has come for my baby to turn ONE! Its still a little ways away but I can't believe it still the same! We plan on having a fun party for him so be sure to stay tuned for fun pictures. I seriously have no idea what to get him either because he got so much for Christmas. I have a feeling this is going to be a trend with his birthday poor kid:(

He is such a Big Boy!

We Are Gearing Up For Warmer Days

Well folks winter officially just started and I am already ready for warmth and sunny days. I decided to try on some of Jordan's summer clothes and he was so handsome I think even he was excited to run around in shorts and t-shirt and sandals. Of course we were just trying them on because it's absolutely FREEZING outside but it was fun just the same.

Direct-ly to Our House

OK the title is kinda cheesy but oh well. We have been in our house almost One year now and we finally couldn't take the bunny ears any longer. We decided to get direct t.v. and I am so excited I can barely stand it. No more Tyra and Maury I am moving on to bigger and better shows ha ha. Well anyway I just was excited so of course I had to put it on my blog and share the excitement with all of my friends. All of you guys who still have bunny ears are welcome to come over suckas! ha ha

Christmas at our House!

This year we did things different at our house since we have Jordan and everyone is having so many kids. Well first off we had Christmas Eve at Kristen's' house. She made spaghetti and meatballs and everyone brought something (I was in charge of the salad). We also had a chocolate fondue bar with marshmallows and fruit, ice cream sundaes with all the toppings you could imagine, yummy cheese balls with crackers, cranberry sprite, and all different kinds of breads (banana and pumpkin). We had so much fun with everyone and even Great Grandma and Grandpa were there this year. The kids we running around like maniacs and Jordan always joins in on the fun with the big kids. I didn't get any pictures of Christmas Eve dinner but just video. After we got done with Christmas Eve dinner we headed home and Nate had to scare me by trying to spin a Brodie it was so scary and then we opened our Christmas Eve Pajamas. We got Jordan in the bath and ready for bed and waited for Santa to arrive.



Santa did come to our house and Jordan loved all of his gifts. Nate got me a mp3 player and a ton of clothes. I got him a psp3 game and some clothes. We also got a air compressor for our family gift. I didn't get a ton of pictures but he got a remote control tonka truck, a lawn mower, and a swimming fish for the bath tub from Santa. My mom and dad gave him that radio flyer rocket it makes cool rocket noises and lights up and Nate's parents gave him a little bike that can turn into a rocker and has a steering wheel and it talks and plays music and a new blue blanket. He got some outfits, books, treats in his stocking and a new sippy cup. He also got some other small random toys like stacking blocks, a drill that makes noises and a little hammer toy. Wow anyway he got lots of stuff it was a little overwhelming for him I think. He loves his lawn mower and all of his toys but his lawn mower especially. Here is a picture and a little video.





Then after Christmas presents Nate's mom and I cooked breakfast! We had eggs, bacon, and toast. Then they left and we played with toys and cleaned the house. Nate enjoyed his video game Call of duty world at war and Jordan eventually went down for a nap. Around 2:00 we went up to Nate's parents house and opened our gifts with everyone there. We got a new DC 14 Dyson, new sheets, Nate got some bullets and a nice dress shirt. I got a new outfit and make up bag. We got the game Scrabble and a scale to measure out meat or whatever else from Jason and Lindsay (We draw Names). The kids drew names too and Jordan got a cute Einstein magnet book and a Einstein book that can go in the bath. Basically we made out like bandits! That day we had a yummy Christmas dinner at Nate's parents house. We had ham and turkey, cheesy potatoes, stuffing, seasoned carrots, salad, rolls, raspberry jello with whipped cream, and your choice of strawberry cheesecake or pumpkin pie. Here are some pictures of Jordan playing peek-a-boo in the sami and pictures of him unwrapping his gift at Nate's Parents house.







Wow this is a super long entry! Just some other random things we did... Josh, Ashley and Alli came later on Christmas day (It was fun to see them) and that night we played catch phrase with everyone! It was so much fun although I'm not that good at it but a lot of us weren't that good but it was a blast. when we went home in the Blizzard we discovered our power was out so we headed back to Nate's parents house. Our Power was out for 4 hours that night. On Friday the girls went shopping for discounted Christmas stuff and for the first time I didn't really load up on stuff. I guess now that I'm in my house I just don't need that much which is nice. That night we ate leftovers and played a game of Scrabble and a ton of games of Catch Phrase. I was lucky that night because Nate took Jordan home and put him to bed and watched the Jazz game and I got to enjoy playing games in peace! Thanks Hunny! Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas like we did.

So CLOSE!

Jordan is so close to walking but he just can't seem to just do it all the time. I am hoping by Christmas he can walk on his own all the time but I don't know.

Jordan is loving the SNOW!

Today we took Jordan outside to play in the snow and he LOVED it. He is so funny I just love him. Nate was off today and so was I so we had to do lots of fun things. We had such a great day. Nate went hunting this morning with his dad and Jordan and I slept in. We got up and ate breakfast and then got ready for the day. Nate and his dad went and shoveled driveways for his dad and grandpa. Then we went out to lunch at Hermies, it was delicious. Then we went home and shoveled our driveway and Jordan and I handed out our neighborhood gifts. Then we got ready and headed over to Nate's mom and dads house to take our Christmas family pictures and go four wheeling. Grandma Joanne babysat while me and Nate and his dad took the four wheelers out for a night time ride. I LOVE four wheeling in the snow its my all time favorite thing to do in the winter. When we got back Joanne had cooked homemade chili yum! Then I got Jordan in the bath and we went downstairs and played the Wii. I had so much FUN I seriously didn't ever want the day to end. Thanks Laine and Joanne for the fun day it was really great.

Stocking Stuffers?

This year as you all know is Jordan's first Christmas and I have gone back and forth on whether to do a stocking. I decided that I probably should but I seriously have no idea what to put in his stocking. If any of you have any ideas PLEASE fill me in so far I have a thing of bubble bath ha ha. I don't want to put in any candy because he can't really eat candy sooooo anyway any ideas?
