Birthday! Birthday!

Sending Birthday wishes out to my brother! His birthday is tomorrow, Feb 22nd. He's in the Army and is currently stationed in California.

Miss you AW!

Hope you have a great day!

Wanted to share this picture. My brother is now training for his second body building contest! I'm not sure who the guy with him is, but I hear he is a famous body builder. The contest is either in June or July.

My parents are flying out there for it and they are so excited.

Also, we are sending Birthday wishes out to Grandma Brenda.
Her Birthday is tomorrow too!!
Have a great day!

Getting caught up....

Seems like it's been forever since I have posted anything on my blog. Ginder's have been busy. I'm sure most know, but we did buy a house. So excited! We have been in the house 1 week today. What an up and down ride it's been since we started looking over 1 year ago. Move in ready was on the top of our list and we finally found one we liked with the square footage and floor plan we were looking for. A corner lot would have been nice, but we are happy with what we decided on. Come spring we can't wait to landscape and remove the current porch and put a new one on. We bought some new appliances, living room furniture, kitchen table and Johnson a BIG BOY bed. I almost have everything out of boxes. The one thing I am not adjusting to very fast is having stairs. Trying to carry my 30 pound son up the stairs can be a tad hard sometimes!!!! :)

Jerry is still traveling like a crazy man. He spent this week in Texas.

Jordan is doing great in school. Received a phone call from her teacher on Friday. It was so sweet!!! They have a spelling test every Friday and Jordan has only missed 1 word since the beginning of school! We are so proud of her!

Johnson is going on 17 months! Crazy!! He amazes me everyday. His favorite new word to say is "HOT". Jordan will be 8 next month, and that is really just hard to believe and I'm having a hard time with her growing up so fast.

Hope all is well with everyone!

It's dance time

Last night the girls performed at the High School. They all did a great job. And they all looked so CUTE!!

What will Johnson be when he grows up?

Housekeeper?

Doctor?

Policeman?

Snack Time

Sometimes they just eat better on the floor!!

Holiday Pictures

Here are a few holiday pictures that I am finally getting to post. With Jerry's crazy schedule it's been hard for me to find time to get pics uploaded and posted. Kids are with Grandma Brenda right now. I should be taking a nap, but computer time sounded much better. Some of the pics were taken xmas eve and some taken xmas day.

From the Ginder's....

....we hope that everyone had a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

We are all finally starting to feel better and catch up on sleep. Johnson had croup, is still getting over a nasty cold\cough and now he is teething. Poor guy, he has not been very happy. Jordan is all over her ear infection. It kicked her ass..no other way to put it. Jerry arrived home from Texas New Year's Eve late afternoon. We didn't do anything crazy for the New Year. We ordered out from the Olde Tyme. It was very yummy! Johnson and I were in bed by 8:30. Jerry had a buddy come over.

Jordan stayed up with them and watched the ball drop on TV.

I hope to get some pics of our Holidays posted soon.

Other stuff....

• We want to send hugs and kisses to Alivia!! We miss her. She was the little gal that came to our house a few days a week. Her mommy is now a stay at home mommy!!! I wanted to post a picture of her, but I can't find the camera card that has her on it....
• I took a part-time job. Crazy I know, wasn't even looking. It's very part time and it feels good to get out of the house. :)
• Ginder's are pretty sure they have found a house. Exciting! It took us over 20 houses to find one we were happy with. And, best of all..it's move in ready. Don't even have to clean the carpets or clean walls. Move in ready was important to us!!
• Aunt Jayce and Uncle Nathan are home!!
• Bummed that my brother and Mary Jane are not able to come home for Christmas!

Pictures

Before the croup, coughs and ear infections hit our house, we were busy with a school play and dance pictures.

Johnson walking around before Jordan's play started. He danced and danced the entire time. Cute..Cute!

Jordan in her classroom after the play.

I have been having some issues with my camera. This was about the only play picture that didn't come out all in a blur.

Oh Johnson.

He now likes to unzip his PJ's and sit in this basket.

Jordan before dance pictures.

We love the new outfits!

Holidays!

I'm stressing out a bit. This is the first year I am not 100% ready for Christmas. I have nothing wrapped... and have 2 more gifts to pick up.

Johnson is getting over croup. I must say that croup is a scary thing. Hope it never hits our house again.

Jordan has had a nasty cough, cold, runny nose and found out today she has an ear infection.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Have you been naughty or nice this year?

Holiday Fun

Jordan for weeks had been asking if we could make a Gingerbread house. I found a kit at Wal-Mart for us to try. We had so much fun. Jordan was so proud of her little house. I love it when she gets all excited!!

It was very yummy!!!

And made the house smell really good!!!

Happy Holidays!!

Jordan and Johnson

I took these pics of the kiddos yesterday.

I thought they were just too cute not to share! :)
