We have been settling in our new home. It has been quite an adjustment. More than I thought it would be. This is our first permanent home in 10 year and I was prepared for how much different that would make it. We love our house. even though we are still finishing decorating and painting. But I suppose that will never be done! Thomaston is a small town. I say it has everything that you need but not everything that you want. On weekends we normally make the 45 minute drive to Macon or go up to Atlanta to do some real shopping! I do miss Target, Marshalls and CVS!! But we feel very blessed that Jordan has a job that he loves.<div><br /></div><div>I'll do a quick little recap of everyone and then maybe I'll try to be better at staying up to date!</div><div><br /></div><div>Taliyah!!! Oh my! She has been such a handful! The best way to describe her is busy. I always thought that my girls would be very similar, but I was wrong. Taliyah is very independent. She wants to do everything herself. She also wants to climb. Before she could even walk she was climbing. I'm constantly pulling her off the countertops, tables, bookshelves, stools and out of sinks, tubs and toilets....It's exhausting. I get really worried at times because it seems like she is just trying to hurt herself! She's already chipped her front tooth! Luckily I think she's starting to mellow out alittle...alittle! She hates shopping. Going to the grocery stores takes an extra helping our strength and courage! There normal is screaming, crying (sometimes by me!) and bribing. But with all this craziness comes the sweetest, most lovable little girl ever. She loves giving kisses, smasher her face into yours, huge hugs and blows kisses when you leave. She has so much love for us in her tiny little body and we love her so so much!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRlQTlJYnK9nAUDzyECkCcK5nSd47L3fafFJzyn0-kF31XS-E7qV735ALBSFIdqPyvhslTtHNfOWdk3SVvqTAG4eG87hnK3esxfjR2FE3m3gpzgUB8Vym15-kZks57wZCBzt-uejxSDJeN/s1600/July1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRlQTlJYnK9nAUDzyECkCcK5nSd47L3fafFJzyn0-kF31XS-E7qV735ALBSFIdqPyvhslTtHNfOWdk3SVvqTAG4eG87hnK3esxfjR2FE3m3gpzgUB8Vym15-kZks57wZCBzt-uejxSDJeN/s400/July1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701214859048191970" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRI3OymmI8z7XkDwAJCHExSQCKKN1WoOksLXzXzqs6-PwHCObBG5gygzOZJG1iTWidaYyl7TnBabK_ogScV4XjTslZZG5HUUz_HqRjI5DYiHal2dn-swB8P2zMFWbIRuoAZhyphenhyphen8prknAvMH/s1600/DSC_2044.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRI3OymmI8z7XkDwAJCHExSQCKKN1WoOksLXzXzqs6-PwHCObBG5gygzOZJG1iTWidaYyl7TnBabK_ogScV4XjTslZZG5HUUz_HqRjI5DYiHal2dn-swB8P2zMFWbIRuoAZhyphenhyphen8prknAvMH/s400/DSC_2044.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701214855935269042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFRIou7fWaAKA7l60uGVXjminq9wqUhPmtHANuZAYd3jTU7hAlG-C0MrZqeU5_jv1no0R5exPS9y8twJXIPetjAMIyCyGHJ15VxybhLkuzrbuisnAh9w_dboceBfsiGY3gHOXaRCybxvQ/s1600/DSC_0027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFRIou7fWaAKA7l60uGVXjminq9wqUhPmtHANuZAYd3jTU7hAlG-C0MrZqeU5_jv1no0R5exPS9y8twJXIPetjAMIyCyGHJ15VxybhLkuzrbuisnAh9w_dboceBfsiGY3gHOXaRCybxvQ/s400/DSC_0027.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701214847669597154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuqVrvWtqo3KL3gdwrMCdfGrAA-xxQYNT-yfQkP2FgEqCvLq-5siFFyPFdLnRYXq-BZRfV3v_ASSjNqiNeN8Uco2rCY94IWKkgK92RLTVEUODZsf-FyAkT8umTDV-fk5252e5xR8XmiFQg/s1600/DSC_0014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuqVrvWtqo3KL3gdwrMCdfGrAA-xxQYNT-yfQkP2FgEqCvLq-5siFFyPFdLnRYXq-BZRfV3v_ASSjNqiNeN8Uco2rCY94IWKkgK92RLTVEUODZsf-FyAkT8umTDV-fk5252e5xR8XmiFQg/s400/DSC_0014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701214840377710370" /></a>Jayla!! Jayla has grown up so much since we moved her. She loves having her pink room. She has become my little farmer girl and helps me take care of our chickens. We have 6. She's not scared to chase them around and try to pick them up. Jayla is a girly girl!!! She loves to paint her nails, makeup, high heals, pink, and anything that sparkles! I'm not sure where this comes from but it sure is cute! She has a love hate relationship with Taliyah. For the most part they love eachother. They are starting to really play together and sometimes I even catch them hugging and giggling. And then there are the melt downs! Where a kicking and screaming fight happens over something very small! But that's sisters! Lately she's been telling me she wants another sister, we'll just wait and see about that Jayla!<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchxnqV5t3sc_YJlJqZ4HPlOo8Yqus4MQSuCNYZfLMXHZqF_JIPi5IUFpil_MmvtUUyb0vNlyr2e4yNC4Ne1LxuTDTljRds80B9JtI3riQwYkbsKkKm3qFjI_CZa_6u8cS0wBEJ4LdfHS9/s400/jayla4.jpg" /> <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEyuXB5OqRxVUQeR6mlrAfe-AHcfFDZ3nF2xOPPpMcXUhoYun4R7i0ZCJkIeEbU4oKF44-DtOcS0LVwCEWCRKVNktZsKfNlfZxbdz5laP619SUE7Dy8RWOy-jtcwLhIFTAYrN2EPfTaO0C/s400/christmas2.jpg" /><div><br /><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrWSSkk_X8Csv0CgHKvqP9xu6CRxL5CFXuu18cZfE5h4nqq_QL8yizbWgaZUSQiswlGTYr30ISnAe435NahHVIiMe4MYxCARj-mZ7NKD87j3_UgvdzSTy8wJmBRaeJ97bIMdaoJuvbHAx/s400/christmas3.jpg" /> </div></div><div><br /></div><div>I'll be back to finish the rest of the Fam!</div><div><br /></div>jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-64114821236373892832011-06-15T18:47:00.000-07:002011-06-15T19:13:43.614-07:00It's been awhile!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn77VtV1DBsxQTqR8C9tmj5nW-_yQxWrCAzCjwZyokTMshwBPGfcWZMkwxCx_TfxUfNJCdabYyWj00e1fHGbI1XgkYdZmjRTzqqdSlXwdbwEO7Fb0fUv9TiHrKMjq0kahaQpuHpyayEz37/s1600/DSCN0271.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn77VtV1DBsxQTqR8C9tmj5nW-_yQxWrCAzCjwZyokTMshwBPGfcWZMkwxCx_TfxUfNJCdabYyWj00e1fHGbI1XgkYdZmjRTzqqdSlXwdbwEO7Fb0fUv9TiHrKMjq0kahaQpuHpyayEz37/s400/DSCN0271.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618630812302008162" /></a><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivyhY5Jylwjm0c8Ds3eULd_-4ukd7HA7w_VudE1gpJFelwdlymH1EBE466m98vAOfK4G8CiJSIt4-Zc0c9tXlMGvbb4toT7r0GoH0zmeObN3LOOg3um8Ht0B-__naOBMJTQ_3aGHeeVpYq/s400/DSCN0256.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618630807254724370" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigQmRrTbjvxEl6_wYrMLyMUEz0AmPGJsaTCy_xsqZ9j9IszIw_uNCTSs5hk_x1YU2yQsDy6mkxok02mAyR6fnQDQuAo5BoGpF3sqd2M0YpP0XHlLu9dqf3U4VdnGrJHInrMmFqHSXoSn2I/s400/DSC_0097.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618629623503236658" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnFC-MFcRQR65oBbCItgiN8oh563qJP8DA_TjWq619ooovm6wubfnzjy-Xepp08-9EKE1Y4wiFtSEnsLG0Z-FXELQE4wZgY7-QIy2b88-Poyz3wmv7Yf63k8EOJ034rCLDemsZJmbMD5Aj/s1600/DSC_0708.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnFC-MFcRQR65oBbCItgiN8oh563qJP8DA_TjWq619ooovm6wubfnzjy-Xepp08-9EKE1Y4wiFtSEnsLG0Z-FXELQE4wZgY7-QIy2b88-Poyz3wmv7Yf63k8EOJ034rCLDemsZJmbMD5Aj/s400/DSC_0708.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618629615055814018" /></a><br />I know, I know...it's been a very long time! But to my defense I've been very busy and without a computer since Easter. Here's what we've been up to, only major life changing events!<div> Jordan graduated from school!! Finally we are no longer students! I'm so proud of him and all of the work he did. He is now offically Dr. Houseman. <div>After graduation Jordan and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. It was AMAZING! It was so nice to have a few days to ourselves, we felt like newly weds again! The beaches were crystal clear and the food was awesome. </div></div><div>After the cruise Jordan packed up his bags and went to Georgia to start his new job working at the Upson Regional Medical Center which is attached to the hospital in Thomaston, Georgia. For the next 6 weeks I worked on packing up the apartment and getting things ready for the big move. That brings us to where we are now! We just bought our first home!! We live in Thomaston, its a little more than an hour south of Atlana and 45 minutes West of Macon. It's a small town but not too small. Our new house is 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths with a basement and a charming wrap around porch, all sitting on 5 1/2 acres!! We've only been here a week and we working on getting settled in. Jordan's friend from Ohio came to help and he's been an amazing help. It's been fun making the house our own but we still have a lot of unpacking to do. It's definately a change moving from palm trees and beaches to pastures and horses but I'm starting to love the peace and quite that we have. I can sit on the porch and just enjoy it. That's all I got for now. I'll post more pictures of our house after we get settled. And if anyone wants to come visit we finally have some extra space and would love guests!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Sorry the pictures are out of order, experiencing technical difficulties!</div>jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-37502902311851771792011-03-04T13:27:00.000-08:002011-03-04T13:36:09.755-08:00Butterfly Garden...Day 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw42QOO-zcFJBd2eQ9kMdSF5fyMNEjJ1zpv7NSKKCinxZVoi-YQVI8MoamgyvhKiMbMqXZnBhCW6MbmSFNLov6jQXK5k5BAIXqItl2QTQuJ8nRwG4jzedi11piRJFd1lz2wlfFk5uXoaPs/s1600/DSC_1659.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw42QOO-zcFJBd2eQ9kMdSF5fyMNEjJ1zpv7NSKKCinxZVoi-YQVI8MoamgyvhKiMbMqXZnBhCW6MbmSFNLov6jQXK5k5BAIXqItl2QTQuJ8nRwG4jzedi11piRJFd1lz2wlfFk5uXoaPs/s400/DSC_1659.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580340482760039970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRi_Uk2PWlR1vtTZmcSmDrujSaiiaXv7tTorrMw_p1gsnp461hTtwFrgvcTomsY31_CgHBQOEtIRgTNr0dV7tiQnxEiXkYzOdXMXEWgKXATzwAKvyH64yMe2DmoGYbcodeRUhfmA8HiGWU/s1600/DSC_1657.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRi_Uk2PWlR1vtTZmcSmDrujSaiiaXv7tTorrMw_p1gsnp461hTtwFrgvcTomsY31_CgHBQOEtIRgTNr0dV7tiQnxEiXkYzOdXMXEWgKXATzwAKvyH64yMe2DmoGYbcodeRUhfmA8HiGWU/s400/DSC_1657.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580340480713336418" /></a><br />I ordered this butterfly garden the other day. I have seen these before and I know I would have loved one as a kid...and let's not kid ourselves I still think it's cool. Well today the caterpillars came in the mail. Jayla is so excited to watch them grow and transform. It takes a couple weeks for this complete transformation so hopefully this will teach her patients as well! We have 5 tiny caterpillars and we are excited to see what happens....keep you posted!!!!jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-27142238912942570642011-01-30T06:01:00.000-08:002011-01-30T06:20:38.564-08:00School...on Saturday??<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} </style> <![endif]--> <p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal">This semester Jordan has a lot of classes on the weekend so I have to find some things to do to entertain the kids. This weekend we went to the Fountain of Youth. It's not our first time there but they were doing a School of the 16th Century! So the kids got to learn about some things from the past. For those of you who haven't been the fountain of youth is more that just a fountain, which the water is so nasty and it doesn't seem to be working for me! They own a few acres and it's very pretty land. They have a little camp set up of the native indians. There's a planetarium and a few other things like that , I think they are very dated so we didn't go to them again. They do cannon demonstrations. They also have peacocks all over (last time we went a male peacock attacked our car because it saw it's reflection in it and thought it had some competition, we still have the scratches!) The kids had fun and it was a great Saturday afternoon activity...and best of all it was free!!<br /><br />If anyone wants to come visit St. Augustine we only have a couple of months left!

I tried really had to make sure we didn't wait until the last minute this year. We had been working on his car for a while and had it done a few days before. I took it the night before to test it out on the track. It was then that I found out that it was so slow! I didn't want a repeat of last year (he didn't win any races!!!) So in the morning I got out my new dremmel and made a new car. If it was faster then he could race it, if it wasn't then Jayla could race it against her friends after. It turned out to be faster so he raced Lightning McQueen! I'm happy that our ward isn't very competitive. The boys had a fun time. Jordan even won a few races!</p> <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxFlTHAbr9IRAbDy-QVjcwqBrdbYwQrUdzm6J-GXvCtm-YhnrmhMujDHo5cg_cYtVMe4fKAG31_dC8crRbzxFska0NUXPJPfoPpzOepn1h6litJLjph7wFaNXCAnHBg_Y1psdJJxChg2pP/s1600/DSC00664.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxFlTHAbr9IRAbDy-QVjcwqBrdbYwQrUdzm6J-GXvCtm-YhnrmhMujDHo5cg_cYtVMe4fKAG31_dC8crRbzxFska0NUXPJPfoPpzOepn1h6litJLjph7wFaNXCAnHBg_Y1psdJJxChg2pP/s400/DSC00664.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567978190718398258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYrFaoaF2pbym8LSGooAyuKmtYgM3V1xFAYKoQAJDPO0rGutNjWC3Qc-pSUpGeLu3eTIdwbbiLDBW1E6eOFVEK-AhOA-Sy6FuhJ_buBo74x4_UKnQWm_nFMFdS1s0EtLoxUBgN0cxiQogO/s1600/DSC00658.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYrFaoaF2pbym8LSGooAyuKmtYgM3V1xFAYKoQAJDPO0rGutNjWC3Qc-pSUpGeLu3eTIdwbbiLDBW1E6eOFVEK-AhOA-Sy6FuhJ_buBo74x4_UKnQWm_nFMFdS1s0EtLoxUBgN0cxiQogO/s400/DSC00658.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567978177894964482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUzTH8zk6Vd_uiFv0IKcV4X-V_lh-tt36ItCUTyP-IeaQfPrsKEb4TEvo_fB-c7O1-ZTPR4M0VXQJmok-wv6iHdgh083ean_K5W_d2xO4qLJlvd4WKAirIiAmhReudU4y-rhwamgN7JWS-/s1600/DSC00645.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUzTH8zk6Vd_uiFv0IKcV4X-V_lh-tt36ItCUTyP-IeaQfPrsKEb4TEvo_fB-c7O1-ZTPR4M0VXQJmok-wv6iHdgh083ean_K5W_d2xO4qLJlvd4WKAirIiAmhReudU4y-rhwamgN7JWS-/s400/DSC00645.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567978177692500930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj9BtIDzzdPMx1H38-Pd459aTu7eqWJh_vukmLYCLqa0RV_-wv-35SogcWJ0DKYxwVfVIDYu3ng82SLIS_hdxL6-EkNn7WiTLyNWv-It4IiIGuqOtRFanNUptb42dTNAkFhGEiwgJNcyop/s1600/DSC00648.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj9BtIDzzdPMx1H38-Pd459aTu7eqWJh_vukmLYCLqa0RV_-wv-35SogcWJ0DKYxwVfVIDYu3ng82SLIS_hdxL6-EkNn7WiTLyNWv-It4IiIGuqOtRFanNUptb42dTNAkFhGEiwgJNcyop/s400/DSC00648.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567978167132788498" border="0" /></a>jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-79622123266755774882011-01-11T12:32:00.000-08:002011-01-11T13:08:42.683-08:00Pictures!!!<div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few pictures from the last few months.

Those are the busiest 2 months of the year but also full of the best memories that I would like to share!<br /><br />We celebrated Thanksgiving with a family from our ward that we have become very good friends. This was the first year, and probably the last, that I ate Thanksgiving dinner outside! It was a great dinner full of great food, friends and fun!<br /><br />Christmas came and went in a blur! We weren't sure if we wanted to make the long drive to Ohio again this year since last year the drive was an absolute disaster! But we decided to go. Normally I like to have Christmas at our own home but since Jordan had his exit exams first thing in January we needed to get back so he could study. Jayla got to spend time with her only girl cousin, Gabriella. They are a little less than a year apart but this is the first year that they have been able to be at the same level to play. They had so much fun playing princess, ballerina and zombies (with the boys of course!) Jordan got to spend some time with his boy cousins and have a few sleep overs. The kids got to see some now and Jayla liked to stick her fingers in it. Our poor kids have no winter clothes so they were cold the whole time! We had a very nice visit but it was short because we had to get back! Our kids got some very nice toys but not everything on their list...This year I've decided Christmas needs to more about spending time with family and Christ and less about wanting a $300 gaming system with $50 games. It's hard to balance the fun and excitement of Santa and keep the true spirit of Christmas as well. Hopefully I will be able to make it a fun and spiritual Christmas every year for our family.<br /><br />I was very happy to welcome in 2011! We have been looking forward to this year for a LONG time! When we moved here 2011 seemed so far away. I remember holding 2-month-old Jayla and thinking she would be 3 years old and in Sun Beams when we move. Jordan will be in 4th grade! And I couldn't even think that we would have a 1 year old! In 3 months my hard-working husband with graduate and we will be moving on! He's looking into different job offers. We aren't sure exactly where we want to move, but we definitely know where we don't want to move. We have some very big decisions ahead of us and we are hoping that we will make the best choice for our family.<br /><br />I decided not to make any major new years resolutions. I know there are some things that I would like to improve on. I think as a family we are going to be healthier. Recently Jordan was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. <strong style="font-weight: normal;">Celiac disease</strong> is an autoimmune digestive disease, essentially the body is attacking itself every time a person with celiac consumes gluten. Gluten is found in wheat barley and rye. So the last few weeks I've been researching gluten free foods, recipes, restaurant menus...etc. Jordan never really liked breads and pastas but you wouldn't believe what gluten is in! Marinades, cream of chicken soup, soy sauce, even our taco seasoning had gluten in it! So this going to be a definite life style change for us but we feel very blessed that we found this early before he got really sick and that gluten free foods are easier and more accessible than they have been in the past. Jordan will be feeling better and have more energy and hopefully the rest of the family with benefit and get a little healthier too!<br /><br />Taliyah has changed so much the last few months. She went from doing the worm across the floor to full crawling me and following me around like a shadow! At this age Jayla was already walking, I hardly remember her crawling. So I'm happy that Tally is taking it a little slower! She is into everything. Her favorite things are the dog food, outlets, the baby gate and knocking down all the movies. She loves loves loves to jump and dance. This week she has fallen in love with the door way bouncer. It's so much fun to she her jump like crazy in that thing. She's always smiling and we love her so much, but she does definitely keep us on our toes!<br /><br />Jayla is my amazing little girl until about 4-5 and then get possessed by this crazy disobedient child! By the time bed time comes I'm ready to go to sleep too!! She really is a good girl, just going through a phase, I'm sure it will pass by the time she's 18! Jayla started Sun Beams this year. She loves it! She will be giving her first talk on Sunday, or should I say <span style="font-style: italic;">I</span> will be giving her first talk on Sunday! She is a great big sister and I can't wait until they can play together even more.<br /><br />Little Jordan is working on his pine wood derby car. This year I bought a kit. Not because we want to win....we just don't want to loose as bad!! I'm not bad a decorating the cars but we are not good at designing and making fast cars. It's hard to put on those stupid little wheels!! He will be starting baseball soon and he's getting excited for that.<br /><br />Well I think that's all for now...I'll try to add some pictures sometime!jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-70859991829520481072010-11-13T09:07:00.000-08:002010-11-13T09:37:34.696-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9sZ76w3C2EDBXaWcptWyNFJOV5GfgwRoCA8Ojw_M70bl1i1LvyAb1M4ZoRRVFbqPt-SLfnJKQ_JKFGvFZEjKugh4FIO-Vn16h3XI7f5T5kPw18mc6HFyrncCMQ_jfR0-ZtR2Y3lW9Yo4F/s1600/DSC_1019.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9sZ76w3C2EDBXaWcptWyNFJOV5GfgwRoCA8Ojw_M70bl1i1LvyAb1M4ZoRRVFbqPt-SLfnJKQ_JKFGvFZEjKugh4FIO-Vn16h3XI7f5T5kPw18mc6HFyrncCMQ_jfR0-ZtR2Y3lW9Yo4F/s320/DSC_1019.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539087867269358466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Kc6hEiSSnslSDZb6kLFjUiveh1hnPPLSdE6NQaeg1HVeQ-W6M0jVelOSpKoNw8VVgNLFIZu9LxDQ4qaCS42y1myd3lwPX9yjGTSdPhyQ8VY_jr97BPbit3xmij5TSUrDj0kHHE8HFWfI/s1600/DSC_0937.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Kc6hEiSSnslSDZb6kLFjUiveh1hnPPLSdE6NQaeg1HVeQ-W6M0jVelOSpKoNw8VVgNLFIZu9LxDQ4qaCS42y1myd3lwPX9yjGTSdPhyQ8VY_jr97BPbit3xmij5TSUrDj0kHHE8HFWfI/s320/DSC_0937.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539087864957747410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOtb29yz3gj35Nej7empZgUZBv2dj0-a2fFq9tPWMVpp0gTpB9sv3sXR3t02_XDhG1VItBVt2Qq1SPz6QQ_IIl_xMy08crNP6v_jEqxtRygcxvC6_gIVS2eU2BIwcj4PyMFhNykZqgRUH/s1600/DSC_0818.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOtb29yz3gj35Nej7empZgUZBv2dj0-a2fFq9tPWMVpp0gTpB9sv3sXR3t02_XDhG1VItBVt2Qq1SPz6QQ_IIl_xMy08crNP6v_jEqxtRygcxvC6_gIVS2eU2BIwcj4PyMFhNykZqgRUH/s320/DSC_0818.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539087859514781154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_C9_U2MvDYPESyWDZ-u2a3Zo2Vd9DzTf6ioPRyaLndHO2etKSr2G8Y276ZCKM5TZt4r3R450DNWBixzPJ7lRH4-Ro4jUgz0Ya1jw02usc8cwlnWAY2-zJHyDqqyJ0giTh_jjgybAZybh/s1600/DSC_0977.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH_C9_U2MvDYPESyWDZ-u2a3Zo2Vd9DzTf6ioPRyaLndHO2etKSr2G8Y276ZCKM5TZt4r3R450DNWBixzPJ7lRH4-Ro4jUgz0Ya1jw02usc8cwlnWAY2-zJHyDqqyJ0giTh_jjgybAZybh/s320/DSC_0977.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539087853815795938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiG_jBmdtv8mgBlkh9hVnwSuwE3uxKkE4vaEmk-ZsK6h50zmQhfmcHbK5bkI_JlaXZ-MnJSyrzxM8-7MoF19BLWN54UswZ2U1q0spnYNRiA8t6XR7VLGw7-vBIK__pjSuv-eyniW0MnSYO/s1600/DSC_0920.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiG_jBmdtv8mgBlkh9hVnwSuwE3uxKkE4vaEmk-ZsK6h50zmQhfmcHbK5bkI_JlaXZ-MnJSyrzxM8-7MoF19BLWN54UswZ2U1q0spnYNRiA8t6XR7VLGw7-vBIK__pjSuv-eyniW0MnSYO/s320/DSC_0920.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539087848965584674" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />So it's been a while....So much has happened.

I love the crispness in the air. Cool evenings. Sweaters and jeans. The leaves changing colors. Halloween. I love the smell in the air. Pumpkin patches and hayrides. Unfortunately you miss out of most of those things living in Florida. We have had a few cooler nights, we even got to turn off the AC for a whole day and open the windows! But some Fall fun has already started. We went to the unspooky Halloween party today at the library. Jayla was a fairy and Taliyah wore a pumpkin hat a shirt. Jayla had so much fun wearing makeup and acting all girly. Taliyah was just happy that someone gave her a prize to chew on!<br /><br />Taliyah is getting big fast! She is rolling all around on the ground. I put her down and before a know it she across the room. She'll be crawling in no time. After I was out for the whole weekend with a breast infection (OUCH!!) I've been really pushing her to take a bottle and I think she finally is getting used to it. That means that Jordan and I need to go on a much needed date...if only we had some babysitters?!<br /><br />I'm getting ready to head down to Orlando for the next week. My parents are coming in town and we are going to Disney. I'm excited for them to get to see the kids, especially my dad. He hasn't seen Tally yet and it's been 1 1/2 years since he's seen Jayla. So expect some pictures of our adventure next!<br /></div>jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-86492055541322303612010-10-05T08:26:00.000-07:002010-10-05T09:34:53.241-07:00Birthday Girl<div style="text-align: center;">Jayla turned 3 yesterday! I can't believe my little girl is 3 already. When we moved the Florida she was just 3 months old and we said she will be 3 years old when we move, it seemed so far away! And now she's 3...looks like graduating is coming up next!<br /><br />For those of you who don't get to see my little curly haired tornado on a daily basis I'll let you know what she's like. First thing is the morning Jayla demands chocolate milk and cartoons. But that's about all she eats. This child does not eat or sleep...or STOP!! She's go go go. She loves story time, play grounds and running out the front door every chance she gets (and that did happen when dad was supposed to watching her and he "closed his eyes for just a minute!") She is very good with her little sister, adores little Jordan and cries for Daddy to come home all day long. She's such a girly girl and loves to dress up in her princess dresses with high heels but every night we have to frog hunting. She's so sweet and some times comes up and hugs me and tells me that she loves me, but she also has little horns that hold up that halo. She is the most stubborn, strong willed child I have ever met, but when it comes down to it we know that she loves us and she knows that we love her so so much!<br /><br />This year Jayla had a Mickey/Minnie Mouse birthday party. I made a mickey cake, mickey cheese and crackers, mickey suckers, and mickey or minnie ears for all of her guests. I had some games planned to play outside but they wanted to play on the play ground. It was so cute to see her smiling and chasing around all of her friends. The we had a scavenger hunt to find the suckers, played pin the bow of Minnie and had cake! I wish we had a bigger place. We ended up having 28 people in our little apartment so we didn't have much space to move around. But Jayla had a great time. It was so nice of all of our friends to come and they gave Jayla such nice presents. She loved them all! When we asked her what she wanted for her birthday she told us a piggy band and a sword. I'm not sure where she came up with those but when she saw the wrapped presents she asked us which one was her piggy bank...good thing I got her one or I would have felt really bad!<br /><br />Happy Birthday to our AMAZING little girl...We Love You!!<br /></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhY6NO0ogUi8f6w1zc1p8UirjFHWU9lg7j5AMFQ4PUT2tzR9527uTjQWih2PKHpd_6obzZUyhpyyX3QwGR3TDhtJP2wse7YW2TVLuZy01Ioxv9V_RWURnDCFlYFzwAlVfDFEbztzHOQx8g/s1600/DSC_0725.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Where did the summer go? I can't believe that school and football are starting and the weather is changing...well not here but I hear that it is in other places. Jordan had one week off of school before he started his internship so we tried to cram as much fun in that time as we could. We went to the beach, the museum of science and history up in Jax and then we went to Disney for a day. We got a season pass to disney so we will be going back as much as we can.<br />I don't have much time to myself, seems like there's always a little person that needs something(normally it's Jayla!!)...so that's all for now!<br /><br />Info from Taliyah's 4 month check up.<br />Weight: 13.9 lbs 50th percentile<br />Height: 26 inches 95th percentile<br />I've heard that he can tell how big a puppy will be by looking at the size of their paws. The same must be true with Taliyah.

She was told no but decided that she would try to eat it anyways. She has been undergoing some changes that come along with her age and adding a little sister. She's testing her boundaries and our patience. She has to have things done her way. She no longer takes naps because if she does she won't go to bed at night. She's suddenly scared of the dark (along with anything that makes noise) and has to sleep with the door open and the light on. And for some reason in the middle on the night she can't figure out how to open our door and pounds on it until we open it yet in the middle of the day when I'm trying to get alittle privacy she has no problem opening it! She whines and cries when she doesn't get her way. And the other day at the mall we caught her trying to scale the glass wall on the 2nd floor that over looks the first floor.<br />But.....then there are those times that she comes up to me, hugs my leg and looks up at me with the big blue eyes and says, "I wove you Mommy." I know that she's probably just gearing up for her next mischievous adventure but for those for moments she's my little angel again. She is a great big sister and amazes us with how intelligent she is.<br /> I love you Jayla, and I'll keep telling myself that she could be worse.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtOtS6LrNFEKx_mNbLrCnC5q-j40aY-eZ5bzNSCltbzFtAG6crPsZi6smn8-c80CTeo0CgpN647_D03Roeo2VMUw0TV699AGQJcqyVLP7yRZGpLLukxcE_bVawJrfMNEPM1ZO7ot_8QpY/s1600/DSC_0174.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtOtS6LrNFEKx_mNbLrCnC5q-j40aY-eZ5bzNSCltbzFtAG6crPsZi6smn8-c80CTeo0CgpN647_D03Roeo2VMUw0TV699AGQJcqyVLP7yRZGpLLukxcE_bVawJrfMNEPM1ZO7ot_8QpY/s320/DSC_0174.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503871537426600722" border="0" /></a><br />Crashing after getting too little sleep!!

She now weighs 11 lbs 8 ozs (50th percentile) and 23 inches long (75th percentile) She had to get 3 shots. I feel so bad taking her to these appointments. They have no idea whats happening and then BAM!!</span> She was fine for the first few hours and then she started screaming/crying and I couldn't do anything to soothe her. I put Taliyah in her swing because I needed to get something in the bedroom. When I was in there I noticed that she wasn't screaming as loud. I walked back into the living room to find out that Jayla had taken two pillows from the couch and put them over Taliyah. The screaming was really loud and Jayla thought she had found a great way to make it quieter. I've since had a few talks with her that we don't put things over Taliyah's face. Oh the joys of parenting!!<br /></div>jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-78600367649518746202010-07-08T07:55:00.000-07:002010-07-08T08:17:19.824-07:00Blessing Dress<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMETp-kbUnVqKJZd9QJf317DW0REQEaaXkWtVpDxel_-ygg-jEM5bZ0KRPEagsff-GR5rXIbXLOo6T9fwL4KDcNFZ_PWqXUP4IgLGryToQzA8jD_xVJLGvqYcQtxtTTNMXfGuiBHigU-FD/s1600/blessing22.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMETp-kbUnVqKJZd9QJf317DW0REQEaaXkWtVpDxel_-ygg-jEM5bZ0KRPEagsff-GR5rXIbXLOo6T9fwL4KDcNFZ_PWqXUP4IgLGryToQzA8jD_xVJLGvqYcQtxtTTNMXfGuiBHigU-FD/s200/blessing22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491554336427259618" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52PQm7_5-LG3u8_JameSa0AVs72Y8Imh0aU7D9qgdgzwixOt-sR8EraZG2kuy-axnh-rD8lUThzl6myXag1E8xsqsSMWOGVrQgq9HG80uPtpvPZnMvN4w5Y1jWr9z9RvBgJOB4XgbM0mX/s1600/blessing2.jpg"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Bxys9X-DaDszIbdjHSU8TKdqzr5wVDYitAOB2R7BG50-gUxO2_vF34hLI9s8KjE5gXyjnxpnRYIl14EJw3hU-YZhAT8qdZYvUg6V4wCkbTNY-51379YGUmejSbQUVtaxVzx_oJU109RB/s1600/blessingt3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Bxys9X-DaDszIbdjHSU8TKdqzr5wVDYitAOB2R7BG50-gUxO2_vF34hLI9s8KjE5gXyjnxpnRYIl14EJw3hU-YZhAT8qdZYvUg6V4wCkbTNY-51379YGUmejSbQUVtaxVzx_oJU109RB/s200/blessingt3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491549874075627858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3fK6l6kIfgwvKg-IxveV0UtVdgG1lj0moFxTtsGNN69PUN0NhC1BSrZPw21pR268R5J7qGg-3I-nvZacqYE71nZ2aUWeTI3wlc9A38kYBhPzjv_c8ZpQa3aqeMnFd6tBSXLpWfl2YV1-x/s1600/blessingt4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3fK6l6kIfgwvKg-IxveV0UtVdgG1lj0moFxTtsGNN69PUN0NhC1BSrZPw21pR268R5J7qGg-3I-nvZacqYE71nZ2aUWeTI3wlc9A38kYBhPzjv_c8ZpQa3aqeMnFd6tBSXLpWfl2YV1-x/s200/blessingt4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491549864700997874" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8woh2mPbo1evi2D6X0vdDIYrEVk44erYGG0jLXN9dH8ox6l5-7VX_OVJZJ1zJpKqbpaPwd-aiePjIODmIaH1QzB0W90LOQ2xawmIexaQ5WyPwwqDhZazh7PSpbEseWyAA5lZcJrJuS6t/s1600/blessingt2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8woh2mPbo1evi2D6X0vdDIYrEVk44erYGG0jLXN9dH8ox6l5-7VX_OVJZJ1zJpKqbpaPwd-aiePjIODmIaH1QzB0W90LOQ2xawmIexaQ5WyPwwqDhZazh7PSpbEseWyAA5lZcJrJuS6t/s200/blessingt2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491549860779615362" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGj8oZFwXmXb-vYXuS57mP7u0rAipvlL110F5aD8W_xCGKvs0XLQMYk2tnSKcT2qivxnbXF9Vpg2glbBnuPb1jUMGQ_W_EICax5frewJF6oCqCek1VhfjBtGD6lO8h2uvvjL9ViSSkOLsi/s1600/blessing1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGj8oZFwXmXb-vYXuS57mP7u0rAipvlL110F5aD8W_xCGKvs0XLQMYk2tnSKcT2qivxnbXF9Vpg2glbBnuPb1jUMGQ_W_EICax5frewJF6oCqCek1VhfjBtGD6lO8h2uvvjL9ViSSkOLsi/s200/blessing1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491549850873831426" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I took some pictures of Taliyah in her blessing dress. She was blessed on June 27th after Stake Conference. My mom made the dress for her and she looked like a princess in it. It's hard to believe that she already 2 1/2 months old. She has been such a good baby. If I knew that all my children would be like this we might have 8....ok probably not but I do hope that all of her siblings are like her.jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-31732320949390637272010-07-06T12:22:00.000-07:002010-07-06T12:38:30.569-07:00Grandma's Visit<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br />My mom has already come and gone. It was nice having her here for a little bit. I think Jayla really wore her out. She just loved having all the attention and was go go go!! We tried to keep busy, as much as you can with a little baby. We went to the farmer's market, Ripley's Believe it or not, the pool, the beach, a scenic boat ride, magic show, and then a little mini trip to Orlando. Jayla loved seeing all the princess stuff and staying in a hotel, even though she slept sideways and took up the whole bed!! Little Jordan is off to Washington for the month and our house quieter,but Jayla does miss "Tordan" a lot.<br /><br />On a side note, driving home from Orland we saw an alligator crossing the street here in St. Augustine...first one we've seen since we've moved here. And that's why I will NEVER go camping in Florida!!! Giant reptiles, bugs and snakes...no thanks!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic_ACqdSJqZvEWr4T55efYT3b1oFmdqirnqvqZ66hJUZ3acI4nAkncZAj2Zv1SICdgB6Wh_QfPuNPP_jGuX1IOYD5lsaYFuecWF9hrQsQ1USQDVKgHRSTfQ8B5LuTk90Bfzs7AyDeDxOFa/s1600/DSC_1277.JPG"><img style="display: block;

I made him breakfast before church. The kids made a sign for him. I got him a few gifts. The kids made a golf course through the house and I helped draw the layout. Jayla and Jordan had fun watching dad play. Taliyah's gift was that she let us take a nap!! Dad got to choose his favorite meal, Fillet Mignon, I wish that I could say that I made it but he cooked the steak, he makes the BEST steak! And for dessert I took us back to our Rexburg days. At a restaurant there we would get a "cookie monster" A pan filled with cookie dough, served warm with ice cream and toppings. Somehow we managed to eat the whole thing. Overall I think it was a good day. I love my husband, he's such a great Dad!!<br /><br />I'm also so thankful for my own Dad. It's been a year since I've seen him and I miss him so much. He was such a good father. I remember many late night talks, asking him first because I knew he would say yes, nachos and X-files, doing science experiments, the spankings that hurt him more than me (literally), the look in his eyes when he really got mad, riding on his shoulders, how proud he was when I would score a goal, and so many more. My Dad was a good example of what I wanted to find in a husband. I LOVE YOU DAD!!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyVHhmjGhiHEoChFDrguDgfxF6rm_SbeFcMzTk8ivrnoSOv8CNXf9vQH2xOU_02soGn0Q-6A2xRSpQU6LE9WcVdGYkrS9muX4KhmBG_CTC4GeZ35d8HdG6ysPpH4txGeoN0VtFPX88l_2k/s1600/DSC00318.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Just as quickly as it comes it's gone! She normally smiles when we pick her up and hold her at about arm's length. I tried to get a picture of her and this was the best one...it's hard to hold the camera next to you and just wait for the moment she smiles. It just melts my heart every time and I know she is smiling at me and it's not just gas!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">Summer time is here! Jordan is done with school. It's hard to believe he will be in 4th grade next year. My mom will be coming to visit next week and we are getting ready for her. Jayla thinks that both grandmas live in airplanes in the sky and come here to bake cookies with her. Jordan will be going back to Washington to spend time with them...lucky guy!

Someone gave us this little bouncer seat and a matching swing. I didn't have one of these with Jayla because I thought they were kind of stupid...but I LOVE IT!!! Taliyah loves to be bounced so I put her in this and bounce it up and down with my foot. It's been the only way I can eat dinner!!<br />She's such a good girl. Some nights she sleeps until 5:30 and she has never woken up crying during the night, I hope that she keeps this up! She's getting big all ready. She's smiled a few times and I can't for more of them!jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-75621725910117599612010-05-30T14:28:00.000-07:002010-05-31T06:09:04.400-07:00Birthday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWngdWzJg2gXIppRaARDDFfd5W-Vn_RHY4nZ2zXTZJgr9lDfmltAb2GhVp9N9STU_2vnin0FbUT0JALJo8GKjIY8tB-aMplu33obxUm6hocwiI4NEv9v8YGMkiBHhtcirhOgIfhDJ-hSpC/s1600/DSC00386.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWngdWzJg2gXIppRaARDDFfd5W-Vn_RHY4nZ2zXTZJgr9lDfmltAb2GhVp9N9STU_2vnin0FbUT0JALJo8GKjIY8tB-aMplu33obxUm6hocwiI4NEv9v8YGMkiBHhtcirhOgIfhDJ-hSpC/s400/DSC00386.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477181943616886914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfVP0303iCq_WzJ0zRJN3FYghyCDgHNfWlCurJusTGp2gVz1HqTUrCbkezCZtgvre9JXV9s2DKXuhQbf3Rt7XaidQG9wwCtTgpqdB_QhNj11DkLY0J5x9MLXrThuBoqBK_DaNeBwZK44H/s1600/DSC00374.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfVP0303iCq_WzJ0zRJN3FYghyCDgHNfWlCurJusTGp2gVz1HqTUrCbkezCZtgvre9JXV9s2DKXuhQbf3Rt7XaidQG9wwCtTgpqdB_QhNj11DkLY0J5x9MLXrThuBoqBK_DaNeBwZK44H/s400/DSC00374.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477420265760655970" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm80aWt3v0HRfMDUFs-7aTboq4uR5iGJTz1-H7i9XZraZ-wzbOZvEU7acERJsu3DBv7h7ZkUi8j2Oo75299HhU0ApHDR4l_U2GDBn6ucgIchfb4ldfyWZVj0ZKi4DEifTHirViddZ0Rp92/s1600/DSC00378.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm80aWt3v0HRfMDUFs-7aTboq4uR5iGJTz1-H7i9XZraZ-wzbOZvEU7acERJsu3DBv7h7ZkUi8j2Oo75299HhU0ApHDR4l_U2GDBn6ucgIchfb4ldfyWZVj0ZKi4DEifTHirViddZ0Rp92/s400/DSC00378.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477181941429744706" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsMXJCMgczZ-s2Rks9NTHWP7C9deJacMPwDNOpWCZyUf-JizHtaS6ERhrWBqhCGgQF1KF4ne0xRq3a5Hvajz7nsfM4kOwoTosjztUTkCoDnlK-soKkiNqO29SiOm22cT10IFuAFlF76IH/s1600/DSC00367.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsMXJCMgczZ-s2Rks9NTHWP7C9deJacMPwDNOpWCZyUf-JizHtaS6ERhrWBqhCGgQF1KF4ne0xRq3a5Hvajz7nsfM4kOwoTosjztUTkCoDnlK-soKkiNqO29SiOm22cT10IFuAFlF76IH/s400/DSC00367.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477181931956917714" border="0" /></a>Taliyah lounging by the pool<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRKutyRd3_vEH7gxh4wxKkmCMHws0NtXWuqHqI390L-DW3esfLY_-SzSEP-EU0Y5gBTqxo9ps0aNYRwNQeXF6R63XkamwLzy8ATuKdAxr_dDay096rjXBoAlRIyvNJkSSrS_UuUy3FsZD/s1600/DSC00365.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRKutyRd3_vEH7gxh4wxKkmCMHws0NtXWuqHqI390L-DW3esfLY_-SzSEP-EU0Y5gBTqxo9ps0aNYRwNQeXF6R63XkamwLzy8ATuKdAxr_dDay096rjXBoAlRIyvNJkSSrS_UuUy3FsZD/s400/DSC00365.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477181926187217282" border="0" /></a><br />Jayla's new suit...I thought it was too cute!<br /><br /></div>This Saturday was my birthday and I'm so happy that I was able to spend the whole day with my family. We went swimming in the morning. Taliyah's gift to me was that she slept in the stroller so that I could get in the water. I'm happy that I actually felt like I could get into a bathing suit and look decent. Jordan made me a wonderful dinner and asked our friends to watch the kids while we ate...it was weird being in a quiet house. Then our friends came over for cake and ice cream. I love that my birthday is around memorial day...I always get a 3 day weekend! Thanks for planning it that way Mom!! For my birthday I got some things for my cricut and dance dance revolution. None of us are very good at it but it's fun to try it.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxbOdXzNK9Ym43o6NYBI39e5cmM0g-0r7Kc-iZYYs9P6Re7u6lr3waszuS6_gsqG0DTSUsD6QXYhu1JFD0RuQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />Jayla playing dance dance revolutionjordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-24558211525171705922010-05-23T16:40:00.000-07:002010-05-23T16:47:17.444-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhMYXRGTBzg3ZBsMomm2gFZuhxNgMSQTQGU4zevmF881C6Ll60PnQs-lPmk95LEM8l6RQDUrynr5TD2-XfIAwIS8A97EGsIvOwO5Nn_tq3j0_CH6Vvv0AJeAFgscyAPT-9eckr98yREVzH/s1600/taliyah10.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhMYXRGTBzg3ZBsMomm2gFZuhxNgMSQTQGU4zevmF881C6Ll60PnQs-lPmk95LEM8l6RQDUrynr5TD2-XfIAwIS8A97EGsIvOwO5Nn_tq3j0_CH6Vvv0AJeAFgscyAPT-9eckr98yREVzH/s400/taliyah10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474614889299975842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPUvkgcHWAu6pzSWy1y3446BLmE8twMmfLC7W-Seca9C9ArZfQe6uEFoyk8fZYur-RTt1DwmfV9gTwMiBE4zuX46t3TeIw22m-IHCw_I25EVFiPA1Ea-BYrvg4Xy8eTJQ8UfVuW9HvzrvD/s1600/taliyah13.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPUvkgcHWAu6pzSWy1y3446BLmE8twMmfLC7W-Seca9C9ArZfQe6uEFoyk8fZYur-RTt1DwmfV9gTwMiBE4zuX46t3TeIw22m-IHCw_I25EVFiPA1Ea-BYrvg4Xy8eTJQ8UfVuW9HvzrvD/s400/taliyah13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474614881359264466" border="0" /></a><br />Everyone says the more kids you have the less pictures you take of them...I'm going to try to not let that happen! I love that I have a nice camera and I can take pictures of her here at home. I know that they aren't professional but I'm still proud that I took them! She is such a good girl...as long as you are holding her!! The newborn stage is very special but there is a reason why it doesn't last too long, it wears you out!!!jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474287937614488302.post-57950905418200060672010-05-13T13:55:00.000-07:002010-05-13T19:49:51.503-07:002 Weeks already!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdBT3wwgVrmW1EvNp43Ix9dzqGiIVPT2lEkHFK2XI4bAHfgGgCM9TJhXlVghkB0IId66gPTVwsYMwhNcBIrPGzRW4_UNNgjZnGbwgN2CNN2DZdIcgN6JeByKDcZvRqyzzqzcLQCcA7eQVa/s1600/DSC_0875.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdBT3wwgVrmW1EvNp43Ix9dzqGiIVPT2lEkHFK2XI4bAHfgGgCM9TJhXlVghkB0IId66gPTVwsYMwhNcBIrPGzRW4_UNNgjZnGbwgN2CNN2DZdIcgN6JeByKDcZvRqyzzqzcLQCcA7eQVa/s400/DSC_0875.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470861632842453714" border="0" /></a><br />Taliyah is already 2 weeks old. I've enjoyed having her with us. She's such a sweet little girl. She went in for her 2 week appointment today. She weighs 8 lbs 3 ozs and is in the 50th percentile for everything. What she loves...to be held, swaddled and to look around at everything. She hates to be in the car and to be set down.<br />We are loving having Grandma Houseman around this week, we can't believe the week is almost over. Jayla isn't going to know what to do when she leaves. They play all day long. Jayla follows her around like a shadow. That little girl has a huge imagination. She pretends to be princesses, dogs, kitties and anything else she can think of. I don't know how I'm going to keep her entertained when Grandma leaves!<br /><br />Quote of the day from Jayla, " I'm a beautiful Woman!"<br />Yes you are Jayla, but please stay our little girl a little longer!!jordanandlacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360836700580684833noreply@blogger.com0
