She was just running down the driveway and tripped. She didn't get her hands out in front of her to catch her fall and caught herself with her face and shoulder. Now she has a scar in both places, I hope they go away in time.

ouch!
Jordyn is such a busy body, that girl doesn't know the meaning of sitting still. Due to all that energy she does tend to get bumped and bruised on occasion. usually she bounces right up from a fall but this particular time on July 24th she didn't bounce up and shake it like normal. (Yes I know I am a little behind on this entry. You will probably see a few of these catch up entries, but I figure better late than never.)

Apology
I want to apologize to Taylor for loosing my camera for the last two weeks so I have missed half her life in pictures. But I will try to make up for it. I feel bad because I have not taken as many pictures of her as my other girls.

Happy Belated Birthday Rusty
Rusty turned 30 this year. I told him before we had the baby that we needed to have e big birthday party for him because this was a BIG birthday for him. He was less than thrilled. When I realized how close it was going to be to the baby being born I told him I wasn't going to do the party anymore. I think he was relieved, but little did he know I was planning a surprise party for him instead
This is Rusty and the girls on his Birthday. Alexis and I made a cake for him and we all gave him presents. It wasn't very adventful, but it was nice and satisfied him. Which made him not even suspect a party
I am happy to report it stayed a secret and he was very surprised.
And I want to thank Scott and Mary for letting us use have the party at their home.
This is a picture of him and his party cake. I forgot candles and we couldn't find any at the house so He got to blow out the centerpiece candles on the table instead.
Happy Birthday Sweetheart.

Photo shoot
I was trying to take a good picture of Taylor to possibly use for a birth announcement. I think this first one is my favorite. Except I am mad I didn't turn the date off on the camera so now she has numbers accross her hand.
Sisterly Love
No Jordyn is not trying to eat Taylor. She was giving her a kiss.
I love Taylor's expression in this picture. I think she is thinking something along the lines of "PLease help me", or "What have I gotten myself into?"

Picture Time
So right before the fourth I took the kids to get pictures done. I don't usually do 4th of July pictures, but I didn't get Easter ones done and I wanted a current picture of all the kids together Which now I am thinking I should have waited because baby is almost here. But anyway, I also had Alexis get her 3 year old pics done and Jordyn got her 18 month pics done. Which that was nice to get done because now I get to start on the baby's pictures. I am trying really hard to make sure I do the same amount of professional pics for every child.
This is Jordyn's "cheese" smile with the squinty eyes. I really hope this is a phase that ends soon.Alexis 3 years old
Jordyn 18 months

Major catch up- May
So for any of you that might still look at my blog after no entry's for 2 months, I thought I would do a bit of catchup for you. Life has been busy and the last two months have seriously flown by. I can't believe it is almost July.
May 6 was Alexis' 3rd Birthday. And I was a terrible mom to not write something special about her on her birthday. But we did have a Birthday party for her with the Family. All her cousins were there and almost all her Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and Great Grandparents were there too. Alexis helped me make her cake which she had a great time doing. and for her party she picked to have a flower pinata. We all had a good time.
The Monday before Memorial weekend I started potty training Alexis. I had tried one other time before this about six months earlier and she was not ready. Up until the day we tried again she was totally happy wearing diapers and had no real desire to be a big girl. But after having a diaper countdown and her knowing diapers were not an option anymore she did pretty good. I am so happy to have one less child in diaper. But of course we have another on the way to now be in diapers again. It would be awesome if Jordyn would potty train before the baby is born, but I highly doubt that will happen.
Four days before we were planning to go camping for the Memorial weekend our basement flooded and that was an awful thing to deal with. I went walking in the basement to rotate laundry and I hear rushing water coming in thru all three windows on the side on the house. One of the window wells was more than halfway filled with water. It looked like a fish tank minus the fish. I don't think the following activity would have been approved by my doctor considering your not suppose to lift heavy things while pregnant. So I went outside climbed down in the window well that almost goes up to my shoulder and am filling bucket of water and throwing them out of the window well.
Needless to say my basement was a disaster area and I had company coming to stay in my home, in the basement in a month. We ended up having to practically gut the end bedroom and we had to throw out the carpet pad in the TV room and replace the baseboards in the TV room. I was lucky and everything got finished in time. They laid the new carpet 2 days before our company came.
Memorial Day weekend we went camping and attempted boating with some friends and Kara and Jake. It rained pretty much the entire weekend. We did get about a three hours block of sunshine from about 11 to 2 on Sunday afternoon that we were able to let the kids play on the beach and get in the boats without freezing. Despite the weather we still had a really good time.
On Memorial Day we always get together with my Mom's side of the family. We have a pot luck lunch, go to the cemetery to visit my Grandpa and Great grandparents graves and then we go to wherever is decided for some friendly sporting activities, like Softball (more in the past than now), volleyball, and soccer. This year we went to my aunts house and played volleyball, which was nice because I could even play that being 7 months pregnant.
The girls had a good time playing in the tire swing, running around with the other kids and getting to hold my cousin Austin's chickens.
And for those of you that were wondering, yes Rusty was there too. He played volleyball with me.
And for any of the family reading this there is a sweet pic of Aunt Janet in the tire swing that Andrea got with my Camera. Thanks Andrea.
