MUD

I am clearly more permissive when it comes to having a second child and dirt. Earlier this week I took Jordan to her brother’s baseball game. It’s rained a lot around here, so the kid play area was covered in puddles. But that didn’t stop Jordan and her friends from playing and playing and eventually…

The Great Outdoors

It’s refreshing to have a child who is happy to just go outside. Last night she spent 45 minutes or so playing out in the slightly muddy backyard. She spent time on the backyard treehouse and swings. She returned covered in extra dirt in her pretty pink dress… But I won’t complain. I appreciate a…

Beautiful day

Jordan and her brother had a busy day as usual. We made a trip to church where the kids got to go to their choir practice. The choir leader says Jordan was really into it. She listened and even tried to sing along. I love that. The day started out cool, but it was perfect…

We interrupt this regularly scheduled day

Just when we had the day rolling, Jordan and I suddenly spent the day at home while her brother sleeps. He wasn’t feeling well… Bad enough that I decided to not drag him into the car just so I could take Jordan to school. So we’ve let him sleep and she’s let me take conference…

Jordan had a ball egging her brother on today… They ended up playing pretty well right before bed time. But the big moment was when Cameron jumped onto the little toy rocking horse that sits in the living room. Jordan has been wary of it… Until now. With my help, she got on and had…

So dang sweet

I know this picture is blurry… But I love it. Jordan was about to tackle me. I took the kids to work. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but work is near a cow pasture. (yeah) As we drove in, Jordan started yelling: “MOO! MOO! MOO!” She was really excited. So after we were…

Family weekend

This was one of the few weekends where we didn’t have to GO GO GO! We spent most of the weekend playing outside. The highlight is still the dog wedding… But the rest of our time has been running up and down our backyard hill and getting very sandy in the sandbox. Miss Boo got…

Fun in the sun

Fun and exiting weekend for Miss Jordan. She got to play in water, with bubbles and we restocked the sandbox… So she went CRAZY with that. Unfortunately, she also learned that throwing sand with her brother leads to a very unhappy bathtub experience. It may take days to be sure I actually get all of…
