Family Photos

We went and did family photos in the park i have always wanted to have pictures in the leaves with the fall colors and my mom want to come out too so we got family pictures!

Christmas Dinner

For Christmas dinner I cooked. It was Nikki, Mom, Jim, Grandpa Ron, Tony, Ford, and my self. Jordan came home and we opened up the rest of the presents. It was a wonderful day!

Christmas Morning

One of our other Christmas traditions are to go up to Jane and Blake's house for Christmas eve have a party and exchange gifts for people we don't see much throughout the year. This was a little different this year due to the 12 days of Christmas falling before the party. We came home got the cookies ready for Santa and then off to bed we went. Nikki called at 8:00 am to let me know that she was up and that it was snowing. The phone wok up Jordan, we came down stair and to our surprise Santa had brought Jordan Toys!!!

Christmas Season

This Christmas Season we decided to add to our traditions. With Nikki's help we did the 12 days of Christmas to 7 people. Nikki and i made up all the poems and Jordan helped to take them around every night. We wanted people to know that we were thinking of them during this time of year. We did Jordan's Dads family, we did a friend from football, my mom, my dad, coach Boyce and family, Great Grandparents Evans', and Grandpa Ron. I was allot of work but allot of fun. Jordan fell asleep more then once....

During which we also went to the Homeless shelter to drop off warm clothes and blankets that we made.

For the second time we went up to the ZOO lights it was amazing we got glasses that when you put them on the lights look like Snowman. They were amazing!!!

First Snow Storm

This was our first snow storm at our new house it was so pretty!!!

Christmas Tree

Every year we put the Christmas Tree the day after ThAnKsGiViNg it is allot of fun.

It usually takes me two days to do.

Jordan always puts all the ornament on the tree and as soon as he falls asleep I go back and place them were they need to go.

This is our Christmas Tree.

This is the first year we used a white tree.

The theme this year was traditional Red and Green.

Thanksgiving

This year I decided to cook for everyone. My mom got the turkey from her work it was a 22 lbs bird. We had a full turn out. Jordan helped me get ready by cleaning the house and making some place mate for everyone to sit at.

Jordan asked me if we were going to have a feast and have tons of food for everyone to eat, I told him yes we will.

We had 10 people over.

My mom, my step dad, Nikki, Tony, his friend Ford, Grandpa Ron, David, Jamie, My self, Jordan. We had so much food.

It was nice to have the family together. The Turkey got done early so we taped the top on it so it would stay warm. A million and one reasons to use ducted tape.

Grandpa asked if I would cook for Christmas too.

Final Game

So after the regular season was over Coach Boyce wanted to continues the boys' experience so signed us up for a great experience and the boys were able to Play at the Real Stadiums. they lost but man they had some fun!!!

Mine all mine

So I finally have a picture with the guy that i have been dating for 4 years.

This is him.

His name is Jamie, Jordan loves him.

Ice Skates

Uncle Tony bought Jordan some new hockey skates. Tony figure that seams everyone in our family can skate everyone in our family should skate! it was nice try to show Jordan how to skate. How ever it was very hard because Jordan was trying his hardest to listen to both Grandma and Uncle Tony and both were saying different things. POOR kid!! :O( Jordan fell alot and by the time we were ready to leave his little bum was soaking wet!! He tried though and would like to do it again, however i don't see a hockey team in his near future.

LAGOON

This year Jordan, PAPA, Grandma, and I got season passports to go to LAGOON. although i was only able to go about 3 times it was very fun and it gave Jordan something to do during the long Summer hours when he wasn't and FOOTBALL or at his dads or playing with friends :O) I'm sure we will get them again in 2009. The last day that we went was during fright mares and Jordan want to go on the cat a polt this is an extra ride that shoots you up 200 ft in the air and bounces you back to the ground over and over. And yes we got the DVD of him doing this. the funny thing was that he wanted to go again and again. crazy crazy boy!!!

Summer Fun

In February we Jordan and I had a great idea to move in with a old high school friend of mine. Little did i know that it wouldn't turn out so well. During the time we were there we had some fun we hostess a couple of Big BBQ's that turned out nice. We would have friends and family come over at least once a week it was nice to have a full house.

This was one of the biggest BBQs we had it was a combine family of my roommate Family her Boy Friends Family and mine they all seamed to get along well.

Nikki

My little sister got her licence this year in March a week after she got into a really bad accident and wrecked her car this is her NEW car!!! She loves it. Nikki and Jordan are very close.

my favorite football picture

The Hens

This is the football teams MOMs we were the cheer leaders. It was nice getting to know them all.

This is not all of them.

Jordan - Football

I decided to play football this year. I started tryout in July and finished off the year in November. Winning "most supportive" at the end of year banquet. It was a great experience that I will think about doing again. I was the littlest one on the team but they told me I had the biggest heart. Next year I hope I get to do something other then "bear crawl"! I was number 21. My mom was there EVERY practice, EvErY game i don't know what I would have done with out her cheering me on. I also had my Papa go to the games. My grandma and aunt Nikki, my dad, Gentry, brother Kayden and sister Haily also cheered on the side lines with my mom. I'm still thinking but I think I may want to do it next year!

Moms take on Football

As for Football anyone that knows me knows that i love the game. But the last thing i wanted was my little boy playing i was so scared because of his height and weight i was so scared he would get hurt. But he wanted to do it so i supported him in it. I went to EvErY practices and eVeRy game i was there for him for everything i could think of. When his coach decided to put in against some of the biggest 8-9 years old I've seen i just padded him from head to toe is pads i was afraid some time i made him feel like the boy off of the Christmas story :O) But I enjoyed watching him grow and watching the team come together and work so hard to achieve something they all did so well. It wouldn't have been a great season with out his great coach and team mom ThAnK yOu to you both!!!

Shayi's Birthday

Shayi got a swimming pool for his birthday. We had a Huge out door party for him! It started to rain on us we got the tent up just in time. The kids had so much fun they didn't want to get out of the pool!! They got so cold but you could get them out!

Happy Birthday Jordan

Happy Birthday kid!!!! Every year I decorate the house for Jordan's Birthday with balloons and streamers. It isn't much but he feels so special when he wakes up and it is all for him.

Jordan was very lucky this year he got so much for his birthday. Grandpa and Grandma got him a brand new bike a Mongoose. He was doing very well until one day we were at Grandmas and Jordan and i were riding bikes around the neighborhood we came down a hill a little to fast and Jordan lost control and fell off his bike and scratched up his legs and elbow really bad!!! He wouldn't get back on his bike for two weeks after that.

Happy Birthday Jordan

Along with his room being painted he got a brand new bed room set that he was able to pick out and that will be his for as long as he wants (hopefully a long time). He was really excited to be able to decorate his room and have something of his very own!

It took us two days to paint then another day to let it dry finally after three days his room was done!! :O)

Happy Birthday Jordan

One of Jordan's Birthday Present was a NEW room including, Paint we painted two walls one green and one blue! Jordan hit his closet with green paint. Oops that wasn't going to be green!!! :O)

Easter outfit

Every year for Easter my Grandparents have a Easter Egg Hunt. She gets everyone together, we have great food, fun games, and the kids there aren't too many of them now have a hunt in her back yard. This as gone on for years i remember having my mom dress me up in pretty dresses and parade me through all the people while they say how cute i was and how much i grow from the year before. Jordan is the Youngest in the family now but we still get all dressed up to go up there a parade in font of those we haven't seen in a long time!
