A few photos from Easter

First Easter Bunny

Grandpa and Grandma Karen gave Jordan his first Easter Bunny. He really liked his first taste of chocolate.

Tractor Time!

I was not sure if Jordan was ready to play with his tractor yet but he really seemed to get the hang of it.

Today's Storm

Our evening started out with us under the stairs again. I will tell you that it is getting pretty cramped down there with two chairs, a baby (baby supplies) and a dog. The warning sirens went off twice tonight. Luckily, we had no damage. He had about nickel sized hail and a ton of rain. There were tornadoes that touched down in the area though. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, did I mention that we live in the tallest house and we are on top of a hill. I know the Tornadoes can see us from miles away.

Ejoying the Weather on the Deck for St. Patricks Day!

Grandma Mary and Papa's Visit

Playing at the Park!

Today it was nearly 60 degrees! Yea! We were so excited to get out of the house and play at the park. We took Ryker with us so he could get some exercise too!

You can see his tooth and he has one coming in right next to it!

Bath Time!

Bath time is more fun now that Jordan can sit up pretty good on his own. He is playing with little duckies that light up!

Minneapolis Our Winter Get-A-Way!

We made it to Minneapolis at about 2pm on Valentine's Day due to the fact the Jordan didn't sleep well the night before. We stayed in a very nice hotel on the 18th Floor. We went to Ikea and the Mall of America. We got to go swimming at our hotel. The hot tub was broken but the pool was extra warm. Jordan loved swimming.

Jordan's 6mo Photos

He has one tooth that is almost in and another one on the way. That is why he has such a goofy smile.

Sitting Up by Himself

Jordan sat by himself for just a few minutes. I cannot believe how fast he is growing. He is getting to be such a big and independent boy. He now weighs 17lbs and is 27 in long.

UNO Mavericks Hockey Game!

Friday night we went to the UNO's Mavericks Hockey game. It was so fun. We had free tickets and went with Tony,Crystal, and Clarke. We sat in the middle of the big time fans so they were going wild. The Mavericks weren't playing too well and would not take any shots. at the goal. They didn't even score until the last 8 minutes of the game and then scored two goals to tie it. That put them into overtime and then into a shoot out. Mavericks won! Jordan had his six month shots earlier in the day so he was ready to go home by games end. He did not sleep well last night. He screamed, from the pain, once every hour (even with Tylenol). Poor guy!

Jordan Playing with Grandma Mary and Papa

Jordan Playing on his New Entertainer

This was a craigslist find ~ only $10. Hopefully it is going to find a home at Nana's or Grandma Mary's house. He seemed to enjoy it today so I may want to keep it here.

Here is what happens when you have a child~Your mind starts to go. I went grocery shopping today and paid for the groceries and headed to Subway. After Subway, I was going to look for something I purchased and realized that I didn't have the groceries. Luckily the cashier kept them for me. So crazy!! I wonder what the lady behind me thought...

Today's Weather

This is our neighbors out our back door. The mall closed at 5 but Younkers sayed open until 6 just because they love paying us. I was supposed to work until 6:30 so I was happy to go home a little early. It took me about 45 min to get home.

Happy New Year!

Jordan and Papa and his new Tractor Book.

Thanks Uncle Al and Auntie Crystal!

Great Grandma Sinning giving Jordan kisses

Jordan and Grandpa in his Tigger Outfit

I cannot believe it is 2009 already. Where did the last year go? We had a busy holiday season this year. We tried to do it all, see it all and do so while still smiling. Jordan really enjoyed his first Christmas. He attemped to open his own gifts. He is going to be spoiled I am afraid.

Little Santa will not Cooperate.

We are trying to take our Christmas card pictures and Jordan does not want to cooperate. We will see if we can retake the photos. If you think they are good enough to send out let me know! You can post your comments on the bottom of the post!

Jordan and Ryker Sleeping!

Jordan and Ryker Sleeping. Sorry it is a long video. You can blame Lowell!

We went to Bethlehem!

This was at a near by church. We had a lot of fun even though it was more for older kids. They put a lot of hard work into this walk through Bethlehem. It was all inside and warm. Most of the animals were inside except for the camel.

Everyone had to take part in the census. Jordan had to sign his name in order to get gold coins that he could spend in the village. Jordan had to keep his money close to him otherwise the beggars would try to take it.

I hoped that there would be a camel and here he is. He was so cute!

Our little shepherd boy. This is what Jordan spent his gold coins on.

Mary and Joseph and a little girl...must not have had any little boy volunteers.

The Sheep kept jumping out of their pens and the shepherds were trying to wrangle them up. They were not soft.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are a few photos from Thanksgiving. We hosted it at our house and my mom and bro came. It was fun but a lot of work for just the four of us. I had to work on Black Friday and the store was a diaster. Overall everyone was in good spirits.

Enjoying the ExerSauser!

This was a garage sale find for $5!! Totally worth it. Sorry we haven't posted anything in a while...not to much has been happening here.

He Rolled Over!

Dad and Jordan have been practicing rolling over while Mom has been at work this week. He finally did it today and we caught it on camera.

Jordan has found his Feet

He loves kicking kicking his toys now. He sure get himself in a weird position in the bouncer. We have to make sure he is buckled in at all times!

Eating Cereal

Here is Jordan eating some cereal. He had his 16 week (can you believe it) appointment this week and the doctor said that he could start eating cereal. He had shots this week and the shots were pretty rough on him. We felt so bad. He didn't want to be held, nor be in his bouncer or swing. He seems to back to his old self today...Yea!!

Happy Halloween!
