Tridon's Birthday

Well our oldest just turned eight. OH MY GOODNESS!!! We had a really fun day, pancakes in the morning, The movie "Up" (which was really, really good), Bowling (2 games and Tridon won the last one), PARTTTYYYY!!!! Tridon requested a Hunter's Cake (so of course mommy gave it too him, and daddy helped with the landscaping of it), he got great gifts from wonderful friends and family (Thanks everyone). He had a all around fun day!!! Tridon has been such a wonderful blessing to our family and we love having him around. He reminds me so much of Glenn with his personality, but he has his mothers sensitive side! He has been a great help with his siblings, and loves to go to work with his dad! He tells us that he wants to be just like Glenn when he grows up, and that Glenn is his best friend. That really means a lot to Glenn and I both that he loves his daddy so much, but of course there are only things a mother can do. He has chosen to be baptized this coming Saturday, on the 6th of June. That really makes Glenn and I soooo proud and he is also super excited to start Scouts (I think daddy is just as excited). We hope you had a great day T-Rex and Happy Birthday!!! (There is a slide show of his party below) gift not pictured below from the Caldwells is a water fight ball and water baloons! Thanks for all the gifts everyone!!!

Last Day of School

Well today was the last day of school for Tridon, and Dallas. It was also Dallas' Kindergarten Graduation. Wow this year seems like it has flown by, and left me in the dust. What the heck am I going to do with four kids all day, I think they are going to drive me nuts + Glenn will have to take some of them to work with him at least a couple of times (Tridon will be super excited for that). Well both boys did well, not the best, well enough, and they tried their hardest and Glenn and I are soooo proud of them both. Another school year down and another one coming. Tridon will be in 3rd, Dallas in 1st and Case will be going to Pre-School, yeah!!!! I am so thankful for the school (Desert Springs) and the boys teachers (Mrs. McConnel & Mrs. Parke), they all did well in helping our children learn and grow, also for keeping them safe. SUMMER HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (pictures of Dallas' Graduation are below)

Isn't he so talented? I AM SO PROUD OF HIM!!! GOOD JOB GLENN!!!

Baker City, OR - Memorial Day Weekend

Well we got talked into going to Baker City, OR. for a train ride, and a huge huge flee market. Well we are glad we went, so glad that after we got back from Baker City with Lee and Sharon on Saturday, we ended going up there again with Todd and Angie on Sunday coming back Monday. So yes we made the hour 1/2 trip twice, and we had fun both times. The first time, we left Friday after the boys got out of school with Lee & Sharon. We got there and checked into the hotel-relaxed and played in the wonderful courtyard area that was just right outside our door. After that we were hungry so we decided to eat at the historical Hotel Geyser Restaurant, soooo yummy! Time for bed, not so comfy beds, but we lived, (I guess)!!! I got up fairly early, because for some reason I couldn't sleep, got us ready to go, we met Brian & Christy with their family, had breakfast at the Sumpter Junction it was way neat because the had a toy train set up that went around the whole restaurant, (it was the boys favorite place to eat, mostly Dallas) and then we went up to McGraw (I think that's the name), and rode the Steam Train up to Sumpter (another favorite of the kids) to the Big Flee Market, that was fun too, (lots of walking too). Later that day we went back home and slept in our nice comfy beds. Sunday morning our friends Todd & Angie came over to visit, and we decided to make another trip up, it was a lot of the same thing - we stayed in the same hotel, and went to the same flee market. We left on Monday, and were happy to once again be at home. We had tons of fun and we are anxious to make more road trips in the future. (CHECK OUT THE SLIDE SHOW BELOW)

Fun Bike Ride

Our family along with some of our really good friends have decided to be a lot healthier, so we all decided to start going on bike rides. This one was our 1st big one as a group. We drove down to Boise and rode along the Greenbelt for about 6 miles all together. It was so much fun, and we will definitely do it again. Pictured below are Glenn, Todd, Angie, Riley, Becky, Maddie, Megan, Tridon, Dallas, Case, and Avery! Camie is taking the picture, and one below that Camie is in the picture and Glenn is taking it!

Celebrating Dallas Brent Jordan

Celebrating my little Monster (Dallas' nickname)! Dallas turned 6 on the 16th, wow time sure flies. He is such a little ham that we love to have around, he is just like his Dad and loves to make people happy. You can't help but laugh when he laughs, as some people have said, "his laugh is contagious", which is soooo true. Dallas will finish Kindergarten in about a week and half, and he has done fairly well is school.
Dallas asked me for a Union Pacific Train Engine for his Birthday Cake, so he got what he wanted. He loves trains and has asked for a train cake every year for the last 3 years. I am pleased with the way it turned out.
The gifts Dallas asked for are a Zune MP3 player, Heelys, and DS games. He got all 3and is super excited for all of them, plus he got a few toys, a couple books, and of course outfits that he looks so cute in. He loves music so his favorite gift of course was his Zune, and then of course his Heelys. Dallas is our little music man, and so we thought that the Zune would be his favorite.
We thank God daily for the joy that Dallas brings into our life's, he is the light in our day. Thanks to all of those who took time out of their evening to help us celebrate our little man.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN OUR LITTLE DALLAS, AND WE HOPE YOU HAVE MANY MORE!"

The Things Glenn does for Others!

The 5000 lbs. Bronze Elk

The 3500 lbs. Bronze Deer



Glenn moving the deer with his Skidsteer, (he had to get a forklift for the Elk).



One of his clients asked him to move these bronze statues for her, and so he being the nice guy he is said he would, even though he has never attempted anything like this ever. Well he racked his brain and came up with a way to do it (of course, sometimes I wonder if there is anything he can't do). The lady was really pleased and asked him if he could finish the work with landscaping which Glenn doesn't usually offer. Well he is in the process of putting trees and bushes, moving rocks, and making it look like art work! I will post the finished product when he gets done!
Good Job Glenn!

New Car

Well on the Wed. the 13th we got a new car to replace the Suburban I wreaked at the end of April. (Oh, by the way - I found out the lady I hit is fine just bruised up a little). Well back to the car, we got a 04 Izuzu Ascender. Its nice it has a lot of nice items to it- Power everything, Sun Roof, 7 seats, etc... It is white, which is not my fav for a car (its so common), but it does look super nice. I love it and think that it will suit our family just fine. Thank you Glenn and Todd for finding it. YEAH!!!

Mothers Day

I had such a wonderful "Mothers Day" I was spoiled for 2 days straight. Glenn was so good to me and did everything. He decided that it would be fun to take the kids to the Zoo, and that was a super fun time. On Sunday he fixed all the meals and took care of the kids needs. Thanks Honey and Kids for such a great mothers day!
