Jordo is Three!

Jordo is three today, but we are on vacation so we celebrated and partied all day Saturday. We have some great friends that lent us some fun toys and the kids had a great time. Here are some of the highlights!

Jordo is so full of personality and LOVES every minute of life. We are so lucky to have him in our family.

Typical Girl

Brooke is four months old and thinks she is much older. Typical girl. She won't sit in her bouncer chair because she doesn't like the recline, she wants to sit up. She won't lay on the floor, she wants to be standing up hanging out with the boys. I think we are in for the long haul with this one. She's already trying to grow up too fast.

Here she is proving her point with the bouncer chair.

I'm not sure where she thinks she is going to go.

This was totally Jordo's inspiration.

But she still looks adorable.

What we've been up to lately

Ty thinks anything new is amazing. He quickly attaches to everything, from new clothes to new toys to... new chairs.
We bought a few of these camping chairs to have for outside or campouts or whatever. Ty claimed one and then took it everywhere, including to bed and the kitchen table. He'd tote it around and open it whenever he felt the need to sit.

Ty and Jordo set up a 'meeting' with their chairs and then would pack up and head somewhere else. I love that he loves life. I hope he continues to love, even the little things, as he gets older.

Brooke is, besides bald in the back, fascinated with everything her brothers are doing. Lately, to keep her happy I have to put her jumper in their doorway so she can watch them play while I cook or try to get things done.

Here's that cute face! This was the best shot I could get. All the others were blurry since she was bouncing all over the place.

Sweet Sleepers and Lovin' the Dirt

Here are few pictures of my adorable kids. I love watching them grow up and seeing the fun things they come up with!

Here's Jordo fast asleep. He does this thing with the stuff he takes to bed. He likes to tuck them into the boards on the top bunk. We aren't sure why, but I think it's so cute.

Sorry for the bright picture, I left the flash on, but she stayed asleep. Isn't she perfect? I went to check on little Brookie before I went to bed and she just looked so stinking adorable I had to take this cute picture. I really can't get enough of her.

With the warm days we have tried to be outside as much as possible. If Ty and Jordo aren't kicking a ball, they want to be digging in the dirt. And they picked the day they got pictures so they were both in white shirts. At least they bleach, right?

Jordo's face was covered with dirt. I tried, but the lighting just wasn't working out. But this is still a great picture of his cute little face. Hooray for spring!!

Check out my new recipe blog!

So I've decided to start up a recipe blog. I love cooking, baking and trying new recipes so why not document my finds! It won't be anything special. I'm really not that great with a camera and have numerous mishaps in my kitchen but here goes nothing.

Check it out and feel free to let me know what you think before and after you try any new recipes.

Simple and Satisfying
