Mini Jordyn

I think Jordyn has met her match......Kamryn! She loves dressing up, getting her hair done, wearing big flowers in her hair like the girls, and loves her nails painted! Yesterday a man at church said hello to her and she got a big grin on her face, pointed to herself and said, PRETTY!! Here she is checking herself out in her compact mirror, doesn't she looked pleased??

The only problem is, Porter thinks he needs to get pretty right along with her. When I'm curling her hair, he stands up on the stool and points to his hair, and then says, "bow, bow!" So, I've started spiking the front of his hair and making a big deal out of the way he looks just to apease him and it seems to be working!

Hooray for good weather! Jordyn and Kaleb were so excited to dress the babies up in their Hawaii t-shirts to celebrate the "Hawaii-like" weather we've been having! Judging from the babies faces, they are equally as thrilled. Oh how I love when all 4 of these munchkins have smiles on their faces!

Spring AYSO Soccer!


Jord was really hoping for a pink uniform, what she didn't realize was that she'd be playing on a team with boys AND girls. She is ALL girl, loves her hair done, fingernails painted, would love to wear makeup, loves skirts, stretchy pants, jewelry, etc., but she also loves sports. She's one of a kind!

Yep, that's Morgan playing goaly, swinging on the bar, waiting for the ball to come her way. Gotta love her personality! But, on the other hand, there she kicking the ball down the field as fast as she can, she's a "go getter" when she wants to be!

Soccer is in full swing! Morgan and Jordyn are both playing this season so we're busy running kids around to practices and games! This past Saturday, both girls had their first games and I must say, it was darn fun to watch them play. Morgan sat out Fall season and found out she really missed it so she's rearing to go this season. Jordyn is playing for her first time and loving it so far, she's so tiny but she's got these fast little feet so if she can just get the whole concept of the game, I think she'll have it made!

Family History Friday!

I have been the biggest slacker with my Family History questionnaire lately but, for the record, I haven't totally given it up. In fact, I'm working on a family history project of another kind right now. Morg's big 8th B-Day is in less then 2 weeks and I've been working on a DVD with photos from birth until 8 years old which means hours of going through piles of pictures, scrapbooks, drawers, retrieving photos from my ancient computer, you get the idea! I've also got to come up with around 4-5 songs to add to the DVD (any ideas would be greatly appreciated)!! DJ put together a DVD just like this for Regan on her 8th B-Day and it's one of the kids' favorite DVDs to watch so I'm super excited to surprise Morg's with hers. I'm hoping to get back to the Family History questionnaire once this project is finished but we're up to our eyeballs in yard work, soccer practices/games, house projects, right now so blogging is definetly taking a backseat but I'm okay with that! I'm loving this gorgeous weather we are being blessed with so we must take advantage because for all we know, we'll wake up to snow tomorrow!

Irate customer!

It's a good thing DJ is the family Barber or else Porter would've headed out any other door with half a haircut or a butch. The poor little guy hates haircuts and makes it known the entire time. With all the haircuts DJ's given to himself and the boys, he's gotten pretty good with the clippers and saved us tons of money in the process! Thanks, hon!
DJ cut Kaleb's hair earlier in the week and though he doesn't love haircut time, he sits pretty still. What handsome little guys!! I had to laugh at Kaleb because he was back watching Porter get his haircut and pretty soon he came running out and said, "mom, daddy wants a buddy, so I don't have to get my hair cut!"

April snow showers!

It's April 6th and we woke up to at least 5" of snow this morning. I sent the kids out the door to the bus stop only to have them come bounding back in 3 minutes later yelling at the top of their lungs, "NO SCHOOL, NO SCHOOL"!! So, minutes later, guess what they told me they were going to do on their day off.......PLAY SCHOOL!! Funny kids!

I believe this is the first time I've ever heard of school cancelled in April, due to weather!
