Jordon's such a good little Mommy

So Jordon loves dolls, barbies and pretty much anything along those lines right now. She takes her little dolls for stroller rides around the house. Puts them to bed in their pack-n-play. Feeds them their dinner and says 'num num' while feeding them. Well she went one step further yesterday so I had to take a picture. She decided they needed to swing.


So I was taking pictures of Jordon and Sienna and of course baby had to be in them as well. As you can see Jordon decided to draw on baby already.

Well I have a new project. Cade (Tasha's hubby) and I have decided to buy a house in the North End and try and flip it. Boise doesn't really have the market for this right now, but this one has the possibility. They were asking $319,900 and we got it for $296,000. I will be sure to post pictures of our progress. We are very excited and nervous. :)

We went to see Dad last night so show Libby (Ellie's Mom) Sienna. Dad couldn't believe how big Sienna is getting. He asked me what I was feeding her cuz her legs are so fat. I told him I produce cream not milk and that all my babies are fatties.

Tonight is my girls night out. I've joined a Bunko league and we play once a month. I've never played before so it should be fun. Can't wait to see what it's like.

Don't play by Hornet's nest

So yesterday I had just gotten Jordon down for a nap and was feeding Sienna when Collin comes bombing through the garage door bawling. He doesn't cry very often so when he does I know something pretty serious has happened. I try to get him to calm down and not be so loud so he doesn't wake up Jordon while I get myself together from feeding Sienna so I can help him. He comes running into the Living Room where I was and says that a bee just stung him on his head. I tell him to move his hand so he doesn't push the stinger in, and I can't get it out. The bee had stung him on his right side temple. Poor thing!
So we walk into my bathroom and he is freaking out cause of course it stings. In the mean time I hear Jordon through the intercom. There wasn't a stinger so I figured it must have not been a bee, either a hornet or wasp. I make the little baking soda and water mix and put it on his sting. The next thing I know Jordon comes running into the bathroom all proud of herself and giggling. The little stinker had climbed out of her crib opened the bedroom door and came into my room to see what all the commotion was about. She scared me to death.
Collin then asked if I was gonna hurt all day and I told him I didn't think so. I explained that the hornet left poison in him and that's why it stings. He then asked if he was going to die. I giggled and told him no.
I asked him how he got stung and he then explained that he and Jayden the neighbor boy were 'checking out the nest'. Apparently they were throwing rocks at it. I asked him if he learned his lesson about messing with hornets nest and he said 'yes'.
So I take Jordon back into her room to put her back down and she was so sad she had to go back to bed. I raised the side of the crib so she wouldn't escape again.

My Baby is 2

I loved the way Julia put pictures of Sophia and Ava growing up until their B-Day so I'm going to do that myself. July 18th was Jordon's 2nd B-Day. Here are some pictures of her since birth.






Well Wednesday was a very long day! I got up at 5:30am to go to the gym until 7am. Came home got ready and got the girls ready for the day. Left the house by 11am to show homes. Didn't get home until 4pm. Fed Sienna, got things rounded up to go to Chuck E Cheeses and headed out about 5:15pm. Had the B-Day party until 8pm. Came home and schedule more showing appts. for Thursday while Bruce and Jordon opened her presents. She was so excited! She got a bunch of barbie dolls, babies and baby accessories. She didn't want to go to bed. Finally around 9:15pm I had her help me 'put the babies to bed' so that she could go too. We gathered them all up and put them in her room. She fought and fought to go to bed, she wanted to play. Finally by 9:45pm I had crash myself! All in all it was a great day and Jordon had a blast. Happy B-Day sweet girl! Mommy loves you!!

Date Night

So Bruce and I got Karlene the family babysitter to watch Jordon and Sienna while we went out to dinner and a movie. I was so nervous because this was the first time leaving both girls at home. Not to mention both girls are sick with a head cold. So I nursed Sienna and gave her some dimetap. She was sooo tired she had been up for 2 hours or so. I put her in her swing and we left for dinner. We went to Red Lobster. I hate seafood but Bruce loves it and we haven't been to a seafood joint for a while. I decided to get Halibut with a sweet and spicy sauce and it was quite delicious. I can eat Halibut cause it doesn't taste like fish. So we went home to make sure everything was okay. Sienna apparently had woke up shortly after we left. Fortunately she was really good for Karlene. We checked to see what time Harry Potter was playing and I nursed Sienna again. She was extremely tired by now, she had been up for about 4 hours. She only nursed on 1 side and was out. I stuck her back in the swing and we put Jordon to bed and headed out. Harry Potter was really good but I was so tired from the sleepless night before and my restless leg syndrome kicked into overtime. I could not hold still for the life of me.

I had put Jordon's hair in rollers and it looks so cute all curly. She is really pretty good about letting me do her hair. Anyway, not much going on today as usual. Sundays are nice to relax. Here is a picture of Jordon's hair.
So Julia wants to know my secret on how to get music on your blog. So if you go down to the bottom of my page to the playlist click on create a playlist. It will take you to the website to create your own playlist. Once you have done that you will click on the link that says to get the code for myspace. You will want to chose the code for the blogger not myspace. Then copy the code and got to your customize page on your blog and add and element for the 3rd party html. Put the code in there and wha-la! You've got yourself music!! :)

WINNER!

Yes, yes you can all be envious that I have music on my blog. HAHAHA

Well yesterday Cala, Tasha and I took our chillins to visit Grandma Robison. I'm such a terrible granddaughter. Sienna is almost 3 months old and it is the 1st time Grandma has seen her. It's just so hard to pack up the kids and go anywhere ... I know excuses, excuses. Anyway, it was nice to see her.
Bruce and I took Jordon to Toy's R Us to pick out her B-Day presents. She likes Barbies so we got 2 of them, and keyboard to play on, and some little people with a bus. We are having a B-Day party for her on Wednesday (which is her b-day) at Chuck E Cheeses.
So Bruce and I's anniversary is Monday so we are going to try and celebrate it Saturday night. Karlene is braving it and watching both girls. I'm a little nervous of how Sienna is going to be. This will be the first time we've left her with someone. She is such a mommies girl too. We are going to try and go to dinner at Red Lobster. I hate seafood but Bruce loves it so I'm cool with getting some steak. Then I'll come home to nurse Sienna and make sure everything is going okay and then I guess we are going to see Harry Potter.

Roaring Springs

Yesterday we went to Roaring Springs Water Park. We got season passes so we go about once a week. Cala and Tasha got passes too. Bruce and I have to take turns chasin Jordon around. Sienna did really good while we were there. Usually I put her in the snugglie but this time I just held her. I might be paying for it today cuz it was a little breezy. I'm hoping she doesn't get too much gas today.
I ran into my old High School boyfriend's sister at the water park. It was great to see her and her 2 little girls and another baby on it's way. Collin and Cade went on the ride called the Avalanche.
Here are some pictures of them.

Blogging

Here is Collin and his summer mohawk. He and Sienna look so much alike I think.
Here is Jordon and Sienna. Jordon will be 2 next week and Sienna is almost 3 months old.




So last night I talked Tasha into creating a blog and I guess Cala is thinking about doing it as well. Since I'm the computer literate sister they come to me to help set them up. So I guess I will be doing that these next few days.
Yesterday Sienna was so fussy. Poor thing, I think she had serious gas from going to the park the night before. It was a little windy. She normally is a really good baby. My friend Polly came over to see her and Jordon and all Sienna did was fuss. I felt bad cuz she isn't that way. She took a good nap with me but I had to hold her in order for her to sleep really good.
Bruce and I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to catch up before we see the new one. It's almost impossible to watch a movie with kids. We finally shut it off and waited until Collin and Jordon went to bed. We stayed up until 11:15pm watching it, which is unsual for us to stay up that late. Got up at 5:15am to head to the gym.
I think us girls might head to the water park this afternoon with the chillins. Daigen (Cala's boy) loves the water. He has no fear and just crawls everywhere in the kiddie area. CJ (Tasha's boy) hates the water. He just walks everywhere maybe gets his feet wet and takes Tasha on little excersions all over the park. Jordon loves the slide. She just goes down the slide over and over.
Well Collin doesn't seem to understand that fact that he has to hurry and get ready this morning so I better go.

After reading Jaime's, Lindsey's, and Julia's blogs for months now I finally decided to create on myself. I've enjoyed reading their blogs so much. Even though we are miles apart I feel like I kind of know what is going on in their lives.
So Tasha, Karlene and I get up Mon., Wed., and Fri. at 6am to go to the gym. Then on Tues. & Thurs. we go in the evenings. We have been working out hardcore to try and lose our 'baby' weight. We lift weights 2x a week and cardio 3x for 45 minutes. Tasha and I haven't seen the scale move in the 2 months we've been working out. We've lost inches and our bodies are getting toner but not losing any weight. So my hubby went online and found a program that you install on your computer that keeps track of everything you eat and adds up the calories and also how many calories you burn. I never new how many calories I eat a day. I always thought calories counting was stupid. Well not anymore. It tells you how many calories you should eat in a day as compared to how many you burn to lose as much weight as you want. AMAZING! It works! I've already lost 6 pounds in and week and a half. Who knew??!! Well the program is called FitDay and it costs $20 to get. I highly advise anyone who is trying to lose weight to get this program. It is SO cool!
