Birthday boy & school pictures

Today is Johnson's Birthday.

THE BIG 2.

My kiddos are not morning people.

I work on Thursday and Friday's so we get up a little earlier on these days so we can get around.

This is the picture of him I took this morning while Jerry and I were singing Happy Birthday to him. After I took the picture, I remembered the picture I took of Jordan on her birthday. It clearly shows their grumpy side! haha!!

Jordan had school pictures today.

She was so excited to wear this shirt.

It's a Justice shirt, her favorite store.

I found this shirt one day last week at the Garage Sale. It looks NEW and it only cost me $1.00. I love bargins!!

I don't know what it is about these pictures, but she just looks so grown up!

• Oh, and by the way...Jayce called tonight to wish Johnson a happy birthday. AND, GUESS WHAT?! He said "JAYCE"!!! So sweet!

Brrr...it's cold, but....

....we went outside today anyway! Jordy bug spent the day with Grandma Brenda. Jerry & I took Johnson outside so he could ride in his new tractor.

Getting dressed to go outside!

He picked up the sticks for daddy! Such a big helper!
CHEESE!

Birthday Bash

Saturday, Sept 25th we had a Birthday Party for Johnson. It was at the lake and we had a John Deere theme. He loves tractors right now. Thanks to our family & friends for sharing the evening with us. Our baby boy will be 2 on the 30th!! WOW!

This picture cracks me up!

A big Thank You goes out to Jill Kocher-Cucinella

for making Johnson a John Deere cake. It was just what we were looking for. It was so so cute, so so yummy and Johnson so so loved the tractor on top!

Time to decorate!

Kiddos had fun putting these stickers on their daddy!!

From summer to fall

I love summer, but love fall even more!

While Jerry was taking a nap, I went thru the pics on my camera and decided to post some of my favorite from the summer.

Hope everyone had a great summer!

Enjoy the fresh air, break out the fall decor

and get your halloween costumes ready for the kiddos!!

Another bump in the road

He was at work and fell about 4 feet backwards from a flatbed truck. He landed on both hands. He had surgery on the right hand and stayed one night at RMH. He has 4 pins and a rod to help move the wrist back into place. He is in a lot of pain and we continue to watch his fever and blood pressure. As you can see, his fingers are open, but he can not use them. It will be a long road, but we are keeping strong. This accident could have been much worse.

Broken back, neck or even a head injury!

Johnson

Never know what Johnson will be up to these days! On a shark or under a chair!!

Cheer Camp

This year our Jordy bug is really into CHEERING! Rather than dance or tumbling like in the past with Star Studio, she wanted to do cheer at Star Studio that is new there this year.

She came home from school one day with a letter on cheer camp that the High School cheerleaders were putting together. We signed up her. Last night she performed during the football game and had a blast.

Eye scare and Birthday party plans

• A few weeks ago while giving Johnson a bath I noticed that he had one pupil larger than the other. I really didn't think much of it. We had just been outside in the sun. We went about our night and that was that. After no change for a week or so I called our doctor. He suggested seeing an eye doctor so that's what we did. That doctor sent us over to St Louis. That right there scared me to death. Thank goodness everything is OK. Doctor in St Louis done several tests. He told us that he could find nothing and that Johnson was in the small population that would just have one pupil larger. That was music to our ears. Prior to the apt we had done some reading on the internet. That clearly was not a good idea!!
• Our baby boy is about to turn 2. We are planning a John Deere party for him at the lake with family and friends. Can't wait!

Fall Festival & Little Toot

Yesterday was the Clay City Fall Festival, most of you know that my dad lives in Clay City. We loaded up and went over and enjoyed the parade and a good visit with family. My mom went with us too. Even though her and my dad have been divorced for a really long time (around 20 years) they get along really, really well. I'm so thankful for that.

She enjoys seeing my dads side of the family.

After the festival we took them over to the little toot in Flora. Johnson was so excited when he seen the train, not so excited

when it took off and heard the horn. :)

PS. I really need to get a new camera. My canon is just not cutting it anymore. So, I'm sorry that some of pics are not real clear.

Ginder wedding

A few weekends ago Jerry's cousin Jaclyn got married. We headed out of town for the beautiful ceremony. We all had a great time and the kids love staying in a hotel.

Kiddos had a hoot of a time dancing around at the reception.

Not sure what kind of look Jordan is giving me!

Congrats to Jaclyn & Dennis!

We love you guys!

VACATION

Ginder's went on vacation in Sept.

We went to Florida to visit

Aunt Jayce and Uncle Nathan. What a great time!!!!! And, thanks to Jayce and Nathan for letting us stay with them. Between Jayce & I we took a ton of pics. I have posted only a few.

Johnson saying "cheese" for the camera!

Jordan showing us the shell she found in the ocean!

Family picture on our first night.

OH, Jordan!

We think she would live in the water if she could!

Johnson rocking out!

He played with these every chance he got!

Myself with my great sister in law!

Love you Jayce!

Aunt Jayce followed us home from Florida.

She was able to stay in Olney for almost 1 month. She left last week and we miss her so so much!

School has started

Jordan on her 1st day of school.

Jordan on her 2nd day of school.

I'm way behind on updating my blog. I will really try to do better.

As you know our Jordy bug is in the 3rd grade. So far so good. A little drama a few weeks ago, but all seems to be going really well now. I just

can't believe how fast she is growing up.
