Girls Night Out - Twilight

Well it was that time again for a Girls Night Out for Mommy, or mommy was going to go nuts! Some of our good friends decided that since the Twilight movie was coming out on video, that a bunch of us "Twilighters" needed to get together and watch the movie! Our night started out at TGI Friday's for dinner, then after that we ended up at Raquel's house for some Twilight Trivia, Ice Cream Sundaes', and The Movie (of course). We had tons of fun together and stayed up quite late, some of us @ 12:00am and thee others tell 2:00am, not me I wanted to get home to my hubby, so I left right after the movie ended @ midnight! Thanks Raquel, Shera, and Jessica for a great Girls Night Out!!!

How Our Family Is Doing!

Well it's been a very long and ruff week and a half for our family! We all have been sick, from Avery, Case, and I who barely had it to Glenn, Tridon, and Dallas who are still feeling the effects of it. It decided to rear it's ugly head on Saturday the 7th with me who just had a massive head ache and body chills for less then 24 hours. Avery got a fever and runny nose, (still going with the runny nose, but I think that has something to do with her teeth). Then in continued on to Tridon who was fine one hour and then the next he looked like he ran into a brick wall, with body chills, fever, and a cough that sounds like a horse has made a home in his chest, then Dallas decided to do the same, just not as bad! Case had similar things going on, but he never slowed down long enough for it to effect him like it did the other two. Then came Glenn, who said he has not felt this sick in a very long time. Glenn & Tridon I think got it the worst, they still have a really bad cough, but each day it's sounding better. I think out of all of us I lost the most sleep, and I was never as sick as the rest of them - between Glenn sweating and toss and turning all night and the worry of the kids fever's and coughs in the other room plus they couldn't sleep so I would get visitor's periodically in the night, I lost so much sleep! Maybe there is a reason for me not getting as sick as the rest of them, so I can be at least somewhat ok to take care of them. Well now that I think this is over, (all though people say the cough sticks around for at least 3 weeks, ugh!!!), we can get on with enjoying Spring Break, hopefully! We hope all is well and that you won't have to go through this ugly stuff! Love - US (the almost better Jordan's)

Our Visit with the Wilson's & Tollstrups

This weekend my little brother Devin his wife Cody and their 6 month old son, Trace and my older sister Nicky her husband Jeremy and their 3 boys Zach, Hunter, & Nicolas, came to visit us. They showed up late Thursday night, and Nicky and her family left Sunday afternoon, and Devin and his family left Monday afternoon. We had such a great time visiting with our family. We played games, flew a kite, the guys played pool and basketball and schooled each other, (now they are all sore, hehe.) We also had a bunch of yummy food, we ate my homemade Chili with homemade scones, Glenn and I made Chicken and Steak Fajitas, and then the very last night Devin made Dutch oven Roast, (SO Yummy), and I also made Mashed potato's with homemade rolls! We had Chocolate Chip Cookies - Sat. Night and Cinnamon Rolls on Mon. morning! Needless to say I think we all gained about 10 pounds each this weekend. We really enjoyed each others company and hope they visit again soon. Oh and I also got to total enjoy and love on my new nephew Trace, he is so full of smiles and is such a great baby. Thank you Hunter, Zach, and Nicolas for being good, and also playing with my boys. They already miss you tons. (I have a slide show of some of our fun this weekend below...)

The Talent I have!

I am proud to say that I have inherited my mother talent of cake decorating! Yes I think that I need some practice, but for never having taken a class I think that my talent had developed somewhat good! I have even had people offer to pay me to make their cakes! You never know this might just turn into a business! Thank you Heavenly Father for the Talent's he give me! A slideshow of some of the cakes I have created are down below!
