The Jordan's Christmas Holiday!!!

We started our Christmas Fun by getting the house ready for Christmas Eve & Day. We kept track of Santa on the Nordictracker via northpole.com, baked gingerbread Cookies, and then we read "Twas the night before Christmas", and sent the kids to bed. Santa visited us, and ate the cookies that the boys & daddy decorated for him. He left the kids great gifts, that he hopes that the love and will play with. Tridon got a Nerf Gun, Lego's, & a Pool Stick from Santa. Dallas got a Nerf Gun, & a Caterpillar Train Set. Case got a Bi-plane, & a Nerf Gun. All the boys got Slinky's, YoYo's, and Marbles in their Stocking's. And Avery got a Baby Stroller, with Hair pretties and earring's in her Stocking. Daisy even got a Doggie Bone, and Chew Toys from Santa. We also got a bunch of different stuff that we will enjoy for a long time. Glenn got clothes, a Cas Haley CD, and a Garmin, and stuff for his BBQ. and Camie got clothes, a new pair of Boot's, Pamper Chef items, and a Deep Fryer! From our wonderful parents we got New Silverware from Lee and Sharon, and Food Storage Kits, and Supplies from Garth and LeAnn. (both much needed items from both parents, Thanks). After opening such wonderful gifts we went over to the farm for dinner and gifts, and then we came back home and played games with some of our very best friends. We hope all had a wonderful and joyful Christmas. We know and will always remember the Savior on this Great, and Wonderful Holiday, and we hope that you will too. We love each and every wonderful Family Member and Friend, we are very grateful that we are loved and cared for by all of you and we want you to know that you are also loved for and cared for very much. We wish you a Very Wonderful New Year! Love all of us, to all of you!

Christmas Morning

Winter Fun

On the 23rd of Dec. we went sleding, (but in our case we don't need hills), we hooked the kids sleds up to the 4-wheeler, and pulled them around the neighborhood. They had a lot of fun, as you can see in the slide show below. We put Case in front at first, but then we moved Dallas to the front, because Case didn't like being covered in the snow, which piled on top of Case and then Dallas. Daisy even joined in on the fun by running along side of the kids and the 4 wheeler. I was sitting on back with the Camera and the Video Camera, and Glenn was driving, and later Avery joined him because she didn't like getting snow in her face. We had such a fun time sleding in our neighbor hood, and we didn't have to go far. That's my kind of simply fun!

My Grandpa Loren A. Wilson

This is my Daughter Avery LeAnn with Grandpa Wilson at

Thanksgiving, exactly 3 weeks before he passed on.

This was also the last time I got see him.

Kristen if you don't mind I am going to copy you and do my memories of Grandpa also. Yours made me have my own, and it also made me cry!

Like Kristen said we lost our Grandpa Loren Wilson 1 year ago on the 13th of December, it was such a hard time for all of us. This was the first person really close to my heart that I have lost. I miss him so much that it hurts, and I know the rest of my family misses him also. We all know that he is happier because he is no longer in pain.

My favorite thing about Grandpa: I have so many fond memories of him that it is hard to choose my favorite, but I do love the way he took care of Grandma, and the Breakfast's that he so fondly fixed all of us, & his sour dough pancakes were the best. I admire this man so much I was very proud to have given my 3rd son Case, his name Loren as his middle name. The first song that I have playing on blog is the one they played at his funeral, so I get a daily reminder of a wonderful man, that I have loved and looked up to all my life.

(please take the time to listen to it's wonderful words,

and you will know how a great man lived his life)

I unfortunately don't live that close to Soda Springs, so I don't get to visit as much as everyone else does, and I regret not making the effort to go over there more often, but I always knew that I was loved and thought of daily by my Grandparents.

Grandpa I love you and miss you so much and I am looking forward to seeing you again! Grandma I love you and think of you often.

Our Christmas Tree WE believe in getting a REAL tree every year, no fake for us. So it is a tradition for our family to go pick out the tree together. This year Daddy and the Boys got out of the truck and Mommy stayed in the warm truck with Avery. We picked out a tree that is about 7 1/2 feet tall and about 4 feet wide @ the base. Our trees always have the same decorations on it, and it always turns out beautiful. Mommy did the lights and daddy did the rest with the help of the kids. It took us two days this time, because we had things to do the night we got the tree so it got decorated the next day! Check out our cool slide show!

Utah Trip

We had a wounderful time down in Utah! We spent a lot of time with our families that live down there. It was also great to see Camie's Grandmother Wilson, whom lives in Soda Springs, ID. (we don't get to see but a few times a year, if that), so that was a very nice treat for us. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner that contained a wonderful Pork Tenderloin, Roast, Ham, Rolls, Twice-Baked Potatoes, Chocolate and Pumpkins Cake Rolls (yummy), Stuffing, and Ginger Bread Cookies! It was a very very yummy dinner! We also got to have some great family pictures taken with a really good photographer, we can't wait to see them, and I will post them at a later date. The Jordan's visited the Beehive House, in downtown SLC, and walked around Temple Square a little bit. We played games. And last but defently not least, we got to bless our newest member of our clan: Trace Heber. He is so cute and I loved to be around him and play with him. He has such a cute smile. We had so much fun, and we were all sad to leave, but we do have responibilites at home that needed to be attended too. We thank Jeremy and Nicky for letting us stay at there home. And thanks to Camie's Dad and Mom, (Garth and LeAnn), for such a wonderful Christmas dinner, and the rest of the family for hanging out and playing with us. We love you and miss you so much already! We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

To all of our Family and Friends-

At this time of year we think of all the love and cheer that we have recieved from each and everyone of you. We adore all of you and are very Thankful that we have you in our lifes. We will be forever Thankful for the blessing of Friendship and Family that the Lord has provided for us.

This year we will be spending Thanksgiving in Nampa, Idaho with Glenn's Family. We are all pitching in for dinner, instead of Sharon doing it all. After dinner we will have dessert and play games up at my Aunt Kathy's house (which is my Mom's sister), and then after that we will go to our very good friends Todd and Angie's house just to hang out ! So we are going to be quite busy for the day.

Once again, we hope to all. That everyone will have a very Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas soon!

Love- Glenn, Camie, Tridon, Dallas, Case, Avery and Daisy!

Tridon's School Program

Yesterday Tridon's 2nd grade class, along with the other 2nd grade classes in his school, did a Patriotic Program. He got to have special part; he got to dance around with a mini US flag while singing a song. They 2nd graders at Desert Springs did a wonderful job. His Cousin Jordan is also a 2nd grader at Desert Springs and was in the program. I am so proud of my Big "T", he did a great job, and he showed the audience that he is a proud American. He always has said that he loves living in a America, and Glenn and I are proud that he knows that he is lucky that we live in such a great and free country!

"The Jordan's are very Thankful for all the men and women that have died and those that are still fighting for our freedom!"

Waving the Flag!

Dancing with Loralie, and the flag!

Cousin Jordan Wilhelmsen!

Kids Picture in the Park

We took some very cute group pictures of all the Jordan Families in the park, but we also got some cute ones of just our children, so I wanted to share my favorite.

Lasik Surgery

Do to my Husbands great Talent of running a Skid Steer, he was able to trade a wonderful Eye Surgen for my Lasik, so Glenn and a wonderful Doctor have given me the wonderful gift of sight, which means a lot to me because I had really bad eyes. Thank you so much Glenn and Dr. Martinize. I had Surgery on Nov. 4, and I was seeing fairly clear that evening. Thanks to all of you that supported me and my family.

The Jordan's Halloween Fun!

We had lots of fun this year for Halloween. We each had our own thing(s) to do. It started out with a pre-party for Glenn and I, and the party theme was Bringing back the "80's", so I had to do some research for myself, because I was born in 1980, and not familiar enough with the style, so I dressed as an 80's rocker, Glenn dresses like I guess he used too, pegged green stonewash jeans that he got at Goodwill that day, and a polo with a turned up collar, and a Mullet wig. My costume was not hard to come by surprisingly, I found all of it off the rack at Wal-Mart, and just put it together like they did. I guess the 80's style is coming back. The kids were not so sure what to think about their parents! For the kids we went to a Church Chili Feed, and then went Trick of Treating. Then Glenn and I went to another Adult party on the 1st of Nov. Glenn was a pimp and I was the 80's rocker again.

Tridon was a Teenage Mutant Turtle, your so tough "T"

Dallas was a Ghost, OOOOO Scary!

Case is my very cute Pumpkin!

And Avery our little Ladybug! (Aunt Nicky's idea)

We hope that all of you had a wonderful Halloween!

OUR FAMILY

Glenn- will turn 36 on Oct. 25. HAPPY BIRTHDAY (soon)!!! He is busy, trying to keep busy running his business "Making The Grade". He works and plays hard. He is getting excited to go Snowmobiling. We have been watching all the Boise State Football game's (GO BRONCOS)!!! Glenn plays basketball with the guys in the Church, and loves doing so.

Myself (Camie)- turned 27 this year, but feels older I think! I am very excited to get Lasik Surgey is a couple of weeks, thanks to Glenn who did a trade job with the doctor so his wife can have good eyes again! I love being a mother and a wife, but I think that it is hard also. I love to watch the games with Glenn, and have Broncos night at our house, because I love to host my family and friends! I also love to make and Decorate Cakes, I have 2-3 coming up to do! I now play Volleyball with the ladies in the Church, and I think that I am getting better as I go, as long as I can go a game without jamming one of my fingers.

Tridon- turned 7 this year! Wow, how time flies. He is 2nd grade, he loves math and does well at it, but we are struggling with reading and spelling. Looks like he will be a math wiz, or an artist. He loves to ride his bike and be with his friends. He recently went hunting with Glenn and had a blast. He hiked and kept right along with the big guys. Glenn said that he ran circles around the adults (ahhh, the energy of youth, how I miss you). He loves to help with Avery, and is good and minding his parents. Nickname- "T"-both parents

Dallas- turned 5 in May! My little monster is just like his dad, he is so goofy and full of giggles and song. Dallas loves to sing and smile. He started Kindergarten and loves it. He seems like he is doing well. He loves to play with Case, and tries to help with Avery! He learned how to ride his bike this year and is doing very well, we have a hard time keeping the boys inside. He likes to help me in the kitchen, and gets frustrated when he can't. He loves trains. He is starting to get better at minding and doing what we say! Nickname- "Monster"- Via Mom

Case- now 3, is full of a stubbron, attitude that he had to have gotten from both Glenn and I. We have head butting contest. He gets mad when he gets reminded that his parents are just as stubbron as he is. He is fully potty trained moring and night. He misses his brothers when they are at school. He loves to go to work with daddy, and gets very upset when he can't. He is the only one of our children that don't have the baby blue eyes, he got Glenn's Olive/Brown color. Case reminds me so much of my dad. Case has to have thing done a certian way, and he doesn't like not having it done any other way and he will tell if you didn't do it his way! Hence way we butt heads a lot! Nickname- "Caser Pacer"- Via both parents

Avery- our littlest and our last turned 1 in August. She is now walking, and has 2 teeth, and another on the way. She has daddy, and brothers wrapped around her little finger, and she knows it too. Daddy is just as tough with her and he is the boys, but she can punch out the bottom lip fast, and she will get her feel better hug a lot sooner then the boys ever have. She is adored by a lot of people. She likes to go to sleep in Daddy's arms, but loves to be with mommy too. Nickname- "Beautiful",- via daddy
