Happy B-Day, Jordy

The big "6"! How can it be??? This is a defining age for kids, my kids that is. I'm not sure why, but it's just a big deal so I just go with it. Jordyn had been on the count down for her B-day for approximately 3 months prior to the big day which happened to be last weekend. (I'm late, surprise, surprise. Most conversations with people, even perfect strangers, would go something like this: "Guess what?" My B-day is not this month, not next month, not the next month, but the next month." "I'm soooooooooooooo excited!" (ending with a high pitched squeel) I couldn't help but grin at her enthusiasm. We celebrated the big day in Cokeville with Grandma and Grandpa Teichert. Jordyn's our General Conference baby so we always get to celebrate her
B-Day in between sessions of Conference and we're generally in Cokeville since that's about the only full weekend we can get away to visit. Lucky Jordyn!! She had a great B-Day, loved opening all of her fun presents, loved her castle cake, loved all the attention, and just loved that it was her day.


Anyone who knows Jordyn, knows that she is full of personality! She's full of expression, she's animated and ultra enthusiastic about almost everything (except when it comes to the dinner menu). She likes about 50% of the meals that I cook and chokes down that other half. She loves clothes, hair do's, headbands, stretchy pants, fries, ice cream, candy, school, talking, playdates, drawing, homemade bread, visits from grandparents, movie parties, and the list could go on! She spends hours every day drawing pictures and is becoming quite the little artist. Her pictures are detailed and colorful and usually very symetrical. She loves to draw girls with cute outfits and big houses with lots of rooms but when she's bored with that she'll ask me for ideas or she'll look at books or magazines for ideas. I'm frankly a little alarmed that she already loves clothes, hair, purses, etc. Should I be nervous for the teenage years??


Some of my favorite things about Jordyn is her ability to talk to anyone young or old, she's not afraid to strike up a conversation with the lady standing next to us in the grocery line and usually has them laughing within seconds. She loves to snuggle, gives gigantic choking hugs, and she tries really hard to choose the right. We love having you in our home, Jordyn! We hope you have a great year being 6!!!
