Jacoby's Bday Party

Finally getting around to posting!

I took Jacoby to get his pictures taken on his birthday at Sears-big mistake, the guy was horrible. However, yall will profit from a number of pictures of Jacoby from that day because the guy gave me some freebies since he knew he did so bad. Lol. Here is one of the pictures that I took after he deserted us in the photo studio. I think it might have turned out to be my favorite from that whole day!

Birthday Boy enjoying his first ever cupcake!

Then we went to the mall play ground and had some friends meet us at chickfila for lunch to celebrate!

Kenz with her gluten free egg free cupcake-they really didnt turn out to bad!

 After working out, I took the kids to the play ground that evening, Jacoby had a pretty good time!

He loved the tunnel! He crawled back and forth almost the whole time!

My poor baby did run fever after his first year check up, had 103.4 fever until Friday night then it finally broke-so he was ready to party on Saturday! Birthday party was a success! Everyone said they had a really good time!

I ♥ cupcakes!

Pool Party

Enjoying the sand box Pop Pop built!

This is Ms. Preslee who comes to stay with us during the year while her momma is teaching.  We're excited to have her come back again in August! She'll turn 1 this month.

Here she is walking! Jacoby-we gotta get you walking by Aug-you're gonna have to keep up!

I'm still waiting on some more pictures from my mother (ahem!) so hopefully she has one of Jacoby eating his cupcake and opening a gift or two from that day! I'll get them up when I get them!

Poor baby!

My little man had his 1 yr check up today, which means shots. I even split them up, he only got two today, and it still knocked him out! Poor baby!

Happy Birthday Little One!

My baby boy is one today. ONE! I can't believe it! One year ago I was desperatly praying to go into labor naturally, did not want to be induced. We went in on our scheduled day, and sure enough, I was already in labor! I love being able to look back and see the Lord's hand in my pregnancy, delivery, and the first year of my son's life! May I never take the littlest things for granted, and always give praise where it belongs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOBY! I am now the mother of a 3 year old and a 1 year old! WOW!

Busy Busy Busy

The last two weeks have flown by!

Last week was my last week with my two girls, Preslee and Makyleigh. Preslee is just at home with her momma for the summer then will come back in August. Already miss her!! We had a pool party on Friday to celebrate summer. Preslee's older sister came to play that day. Here are the girls.

Looking oh-so-cute!

This week VBS has been going on at church, and our new friend Landon is coming to play with us. Makenzie has been VERY excited about it! She has been introducing him to everyone, "this is my new friend Landon!"

Wes' summer school also started up this week. So now he's trying to fit a class and study time into his already crazy work schedule. He will move to full time at nights in a few weeks which will help out!

Lacey had her little boy on Monday, so we got to meet Baby Bryce. He's adorable, looks just like his big sister did when she was born!

This week has also been a very tough one-there was a car accident in Christoval, where we were youth pastors at. The crash took two lives and left another in the hospital. Its scary to think how fragile life is! And how you truly are never guaranteed another day here on this earth! Makes me want to hug my children even longer, every chance I get!

Kenz is having a lot of fun at VBS. She's not so sure about the morning worship rally though. This morning she told me to fix her hair down by her ears because the music was to loud, and maybe this would help keep it quiet. I love walking through the halls and hearing the "mommy" get yelled out! She gets to do crafts, music, stories, all kids of fun stuff, and all of it with her good friend Lauren-so that makes it even better!

ACE Certified Personal Trainer

So excited-my box arrived!

My first step in the direction of "what I want to be when I grow up." I am going to take the ACE cert test and become a personal trainer! Next few months, these books are gonna have a lot of my attention!!!

I have my work cut out for me!! Lots to study!!

Once Wes gets into school, I'll have the opportunity to go back as well. While I am still deciding what exactly for, this is going to be a crucial step no matter what career I choose!!

By the way-I keep trying to get Jacoby walking with his walker on camera, but as soon as I get the video camera up, he stops...what a stinker!

Videos of the Week

Jacoby feeding himself some bananas. I fed him the jar, then let him play with it afterwards. This is the first time he's really gotten the spoon in the jar and to his mouth so well.

This one might be one of my favorites! I love watching them play together!

It's Friday!!

Well it finally has arrived! Friday! Woo-hoo!!

It's been a busy week at the Jordan house! Wes had off from school which was really nice, but put in a lot of hours, even some over nights at the hospital. He should be off pretty early today though, which is really nice because we have a busy weekend ahead of us-and it'll be nice starting it out early! We're headed to Kenzie's favorite restraunt tonight-chick fil a-for dinner. Tomorrow Aunt Summer and Uncle Jason are in town and we are having lunch with them at Mimi's, there's a date night for Wes and I tomorrow night (yea!) and going swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Jordan's on Sunday. I was talking to Kenz about it this morning and so now she just keeps telling me, "we have 5 things to do this weekend, it's going to be SO busy!"

Jacoby cut another tooth! An upper one, so now we are up to 4 teeth! He also did not sleep good again last night, so it was coffee for me the first thing this morning :) Him and Preslee have really started playing-and it's adorable! The other day, it was the funniest typical little boy & girl routine. Wes and I couldnt stop laughing! For about an hour they were doing this: Jacoby would push around a little tykes 5 key piano, Preslee would chase him. Then he would stop and bang on the piano and she would stop, listen and clap for him. I know without a doubt-he was trying to be a stinker and rub in the fact that he had the piano and was playing it to taunt her, not sharing at all, and she was chasing him around thinking that he was playing the piano just for her, and she was applauding his performance. It was great!

He also turns 11 months on Sunday-how did that happen! I got invites out for the birthday party already, and I love the evite system! That was so great, so easy, I hope no one is offended by not getting paper invites anymore, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sticking with evite.com!

I only have a 2 weeks left with my girls here, then we will be starting summer. Our first week is VBS at church and a new friend, Landon, coming to play during the day! Kenz and I were laying out some summer plans this morning, pretty excited about it!
