My little firecracker

Absolutely adores Jordan

Her face lights up everytime she sees him

Loves to eat

Everything & anything

Some of her favorites are:

Applesauce, pears, carrots, paper, grass, her feet

Like I said...

Everything

Dogs and other kids make her laugh, and so does her daddy

I adore this little girl

Happy Friday!

This IS Summer

The first day of summer has come and gone. It was a wonderful day but it flew by way too fast. Before I know it I am going to be writing a post that summer has come and gone. I vow that I am going to concentrate on the good things in life this summer. I am going to spend my summer days...

...with the friends and family that I love.

...splashing in pool...

...smiling, lots & lots of smiling...

...saying I love you to those who matter most...

...eating ice cream cones, just because I can...

and making sure that the ones who mean the most to me know how much I care...

I love you with all my heart (if you are reading this I am talking to you). Thank you, thank you for being a part of my life!

No Idea

It was a gorgeous day on Sunday
Leah was dolled up for nothing
I had to take pictures
This outfit was Jordan's
when he was her age
I liked it so much
I knew she would look cute
but I had no idea
how much

I don't have any pictures

of him in it

I wish I did

I had no idea how quickly

He would start to

grow up

He has been

Catching frogs in the yard

(Daddy says it's a toad)

just to let them go

Cracking up because silly Mommy

gives him an applesauce jar

for the froggy house

Picking flowers for Mommy

from her peony bush

that wasn't really

meant to be picked

but when you get them

from someone like this

Could you complain

Running and jumping

in the rain

He said, "Mommy I love you"

tonight while watching tv

It was unexpected

and so very sweet

Daddy & Leah
played in the rain today

she didn't like it much
but we couldn't leave
her out
From the look
on her face
I think she would have preferred
we left her out
of the fun

Happy Birthday Boys

Hugs and Kisses -

Love Uncle Drew, Aunt Chrissy, Jordan & Leah

A Week In The Life

We have been riding horses.

Sliding down slides.

Climbing up playhouse trees.

Driving cars...

speedily down the driveway.

Eating donuts for breakfast.

Hanging out at the air show in Bolingbrook.

And laughing

Lots of laughing!

Ahhh, the good life!

Ride 'Em Cowboy

Grandma and Papa got Jordan his very own horse since he is officially a big boy and uses the potty all the time. What a great surprise!! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! He loves it.

Grandma & Papa have a horse named Dutchess that Jordan likes to see when we go to their house. Every horse we see (not that we so too many in Bolingbrook) is named Dutchess and they eat hay.
