SOFTBALL HAS TAKEN OVER...

2011-08-03T16:33:00.002-06:00

As many of you already know we,(mostly Glenn, but I have played a few games), have played softball ALL SUMMER... and Glenn is STILL playing. Glenn was on THREE teams this summer and I was on one (a tournament team)! Glenn played for a Mens team "Chaos", then two CoEd teams "CoEd Chaos" (the team I play for) and "THS"! When I say softball has taken over my life I really mean it, we have had a least two games a week, but have had up to EIGHT (during tournaments)! I have had a blast playing on one of the teams with Glenn, it's wonderful feeling healthy and spending extra time with Glenn, and I also have had a blast with our friends! Here is a taste of the fun we had...

Scout Pinewood Derby 2011

2011-08-03T14:11:00.003-06:00

Tridon's didn't place this year, but he did a wonderful job. Glenn had to help with kids that needed help or didn't finish, well 2 of the ones he helped with got 1st and 2nd place. Plus he helped with his nephews, Tyler and he got 1st, so it looks like Glenn is the pinewood derby KING!!! Tridon's didn't win, because his wheels didn't get the Graphite on them. BUMMER... but we still had fun! His car is themed after his favorite plane, P-51 Warhawk! Good Job son, view the pictures below...

Boys are wrestling again...

2011-03-10T11:48:00.005-07:00

Bring on the 2011 Wrestling Season - all 3 boys have decided to wrestle again this year, it is going to be a short season and I will post their season pictures at the end of the season, so keep an eye out for them. Here is the boys group wrestling picture... Case is bottom row 4th one from the right, Dallas is in the next row up 5th from right (kiddy corner from Case), and Tridon is 3rd row up right in the middle, 6th one from both sides, their cousin Tyler is sitting to his right.

I took this while the photography was getting ready to take his picture, my kids were looking at me, but not all the other ones where - oh well, it's my kids that mattered! LOL

A Blast from the Past...

2011-03-10T11:41:00.002-07:00

SO one of my friends (Mrs. Shera Rowley) owns her own bridal shop and has recently asked me to do a commercial and fashion show for her. It was a blast and would love to do it again, I had a great time... but it also has reminded me that I made the right choice to give up modeling and become a wife and mother. I don't mind doing it every once in awhile, but I am happy being me! Check out me in the dress I was in for both the commercial and fashion show!

Daddy's Little Princess...

2011-03-10T11:16:00.002-07:00

Well Avery has proved that she has Daddy wrapped around her little finger...
Avery and I were shopping at Target and she saw a dress she REALLLLLY wanted, well I laughed and told her that she would have to ask Daddy, thinking she would forget about it, well she proved me WRONG!!! When we got home she said "me call daddy", LOL so I let her, and she said to Glenn, "I dress daddy, peassssseeeee" (translation - Can I get the dress Daddy, Please). I then got on the phone with Glenn and I explained what happened. He didn't sound to interested, so I forgot about it! Anyways when Glenn got home he told me that he and Avery were leaving, and I asked he where he was going and he grinned and said "Dress Shopping", I laughed and shook my head, and said "whatever"! Well needless to say he went to look at the dress she liked, and decided that it wasn't his favorite and he was going to find her a different one. Well she got a dress even though it wasn't the original one, I think it's prettier! So check out the picture's of Daddy's little princess!!!

Christmas 2010

2010-12-25T20:06:00.002-07:00

Our Christmas this year!!!

We started out by starting a new tradition by having a fun family only filled night! It started with a Christmas Dinner, then off to make Santa's Cookies and Reindeer Food, then we opened our Christmas Jammies, and watched a Movie (Shrek Forever After), then after the movie we read the poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and the Christmas Story of Christ! We then sent them off to bed, and they were really excited for a visit from Santa!!!
Christmas Morning kids woke up around 7:45 am, and we proceeded to open gifts, then off to the farm for some more Christmas fun that consisted of Presents and Lunch!
Thanks everyone for helping us have a fun Christmas!!!

(When looking through the pictures, click on the pictures to get a closer look) I will post more pictures on my Facebook!

BLACK FRIDAY

2010-12-02T15:27:00.004-07:00

Yes Yes!!! I am a HUGE Black Friday fan! I love to stay up late and never go to bed, just so I can join crazy people all trying to get the same thing, when there is not enough to go around! I freeze my BUTT off doing these crazy things, but guess what I will do again next year, and the year after that and so on! This year my two buddies and I started planning our attack at 8 pm left my house at 11 pm, just so we can be prepared for the 12:01 am sale at Walmart! After the craziness at Walmart, we had a Marvick potty/Hot Chocolate break, then off to Target to stand in line OUTSIDE in teen temperatures for an hour and a half. Door opened at Target at 4 am then off to Fred Meyer @ 5am, JC Penny, and Office Max, then Bed Bath and Beyond! We ended up home around 8 am, cold, tired, and bags full of good deals! It took all of us about 2-3 days to recoup from this operation, but it was totally worth it. I had a blast with my friends Krissy and Shera, thanks girls for attending this years BLACK FRIDAY with me! Here's to a crazy next year! The picture below is the three of us standing in the cold line waiting for Target to open.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2010-12-02T11:08:00.002-07:00

Glenn and I are soooo blessed with how good, healthy and Beautiful our Children are. We are also blessed with all the wonderful loved ones that share our lives with us. We hope that Everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving, and that you remember to be Thankful for everything the Lord has blessed you with. Much Love and Thanks - The Jordan's (Glenn, Camie, Tridon, Dallas, Case, and Avery)

Tridon got his Bear in Scouts!

2010-12-02T10:51:00.003-07:00

Tridon received his Bear is Scouts a couple of weeks ago, I know I know, I should have posted it then, but I have been a busy girl!!!
We are so proud of him and he is working hard towards his Eagle, he still has a couple of years before that, but he has good start on getting all thee other Advancements!
Oh, and guess what!!! I jinks myself... the night he got his Bear, I was watching all the craziness of these scouts running around crazy like, and I turned to one of the Den Leaders, and I said, "I don't know how you do this", she said "You better watch out, you'll be called". Sure enough a week and half later I received a new calling as the Bear Den Leader! YAY for me, (I think)!!! Well needless to say I really am excited, but nervous also. I just have to keep saying to myself, "The Lord will not give me something I can't handle" and I also am excited, because I get to hang out with just Tridon until he advances up to a Webleo in May! Check out his pictures of him getting his Bear below!

Halloween 2010

2010-11-03T11:39:00.002-06:00

Wow what an October... we have had a super duper busy month full of season ending sports, and of course Halloween fun! We did so much things for Halloween this year which included Trick or Treating 4 times, yes that's right I said 4 times!!! We went to our ward Trunk of Treat on Thursday, then I decided to take them to the downtown Nampa Trick or Treating Friday after school, that's were Avery got her picture taken for the paper, then our Subdivision was suppose to trick or treat on Sat, so we went out on the Saturday, and got doors slammed on my daughters face, I was sooooo mad, so we decided that we would go to a few house on Sunday evening! Other then all the Trick or Treating, we carved pumpkins, and went to the Haunted Woods with ALL of the kids!!! That's right I said ALL OF THE KIDS, and it was a blast, I was a little scared at first about taking Avery and Case, but they did better then Dallas and Tridon, LOL!!! Avery and Case would nervously say Hi and Bye to all of the "monsters". Also, the employees were really good with the kids, and didn't get up in their faces and scare them, they would show and make sure that the kids knew they were real people like them, it was really nice of them, over all a great and fun experience that will be remembered for a long time! When looking at the pictures below you may wonder what and why the kids are so many different things for Halloween, well last year after Halloween I went to Wal-Mart and got their clearance costumes for a dollar, so I didn't spend one thing on their costumes this year, but a couple of the kids got to be at least 2 different things... Tridon was my easiest - he was a Football player, it was easy we already had his stuff (we did need to borrow some pads, because he had to turn his in at the end of season), but all in all it was easy and done. Dallas wanted to be Bumblebee off of Transformers, and Case wanted to me Optimist Prime, and I already had those costumes from the clearance sale from last year, but with that sale I got a pirate and skeleton costumes too, so Dallas was not only Bumblebee he was a pirate also, and Case was Optimist, Skeleton, and a Pirate, and my dear sweet Avery was a Pirate for 2 nights and then she wore her Witch costume that Aunt Christy bought her at a yard sale for a dollar. So we had easy, cheap and fun costumes this year, and the kids thought it was cool to be more then one thing! We hope that you all had a blast this Halloween and will have fun rest of the year!

Avery's 3rd Birthday

2010-09-15T10:05:00.002-06:00

K so I know it's taken me a while, but I have been a really busy girl!!!
My Baby turned 3 this August, and it's kinda bitter sweet! She is getting so big and growing so fast, that is makes me sad that this is that last time that we celebrate a 3rd birthday in our home, but it's also great to see our children grow, their healthy and full of fun!
Avery brings some much different personality into our lives, she if very much my child, (I suppose that is why we butt heads), she has my attitude and both Glenn and I's Stubborn side. She is silly and loves to play with her brothers. She knows that she can go to Tridon and get what she wants, HEHE!!! Tridon protects her, Dallas plays with her and Case teases/torments her, but when it comes down to it she is the center of their world and she knows it!!! She has Daddy wrapped around her finger, (kinda, Glenn still doesn't let her get away with things) and she is my little shopping buddy, (she is already stealing my shoes, and getting into my make-up)!!! We really have loved having Avery apart of our lives and we don't know what life would be like without her fun personality! We love you beautiful and hope you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (check out her party album below)

I can't even keep up with how many times she is dressing and undressing!!! hehe, but don't under estimate her, she is very much a tomboy too, just like her mother, she can get down and dirty, but also likes to look pretty doing it! LOL!!! Not only does she like to dress up, wear shoes and get her nails painted, she loves to shop also, so it looks like I got my shopping buddy, since the boys HATE to shop!

Avery in my Cowboy Hat, Black Heels, and just a t-shirt that explains her ALL THE WAY!!!
Avery in a very girly outfit, black pants, pink tutu, Green butterfly shirt with a crown!

Memorial Day Weekend

2010-06-03T13:14:00.002-06:00

"SURPRISE" we went to Califorina last minute. We have a good friend (Todd) whose a car dealer, that needed to take a boat to Sacramento for the boat auction, so instead of just him going, we all decided to go, so we all piled into two vehicles and decided to wing it to and in California. Some of the many things we did are; we stopped in Reno overnight and stayed at Boomtown Hotel/Casino/Shops/Playland for the kids, that was a blast. Then we woke up the next morning and dropped the boat of in Sacramento and then off we went to the Big Redwoods and Santa Cruz, that was fun to see the kids enjoy the ocean and the beautiful BIG trees. We decided to stay in Fairfield, CA, so we drove back to the hotel in Fairfield and crashed in our beds that night, next morning we rode a ferry from Vallejo to San Francisco and WALKED the whole day, (by the way this is Tridon's Birthday), we crashed this night also! The next day I think was the funnest for the kids, we went to Six Flags in Vallejo, this park was like Sea World, the Zoo, and the Amusement Park all rolled up into one, it was a blast. We again crashed this night also. On the 1st of June we drove 10 plus hours from Fairfield, CA to Nampa, ID, wow that was a long drive. Considering how long we drove and much we walked the kids did great and we plan on doing this again, we hope super soon. Check out the slide show below!

Case's Preschool Graduation

WOW, I can't believe my little man is done with Preschool. It is soooo weird for me to think that he will be going to the big boy school with his brothers. I am soooo excited for him, he is growing up so fast, it's such a bitter sweet moment for a mother. You are so excited for them to accomplish something, but so sad that they are growing up so fast. Good Job Case and we are proud of you! XOXO from Mommy and Daddy!

My Silly Little Wii Man!!!

2010-05-21T13:12:00.004-06:00

Well to explain the title, I have decided that Case's new nickname from his mommy is "Wii Man" for 2 reasons, 1-because he is little for his age, 2-he LOVES the Wii! He is sooooo funny. I snapped 2 funny photos of him just yesterday, the 1st one is him "doing" his homework. I set him up to the table to do his homework, and next thing I know he passed out, drooling on his homework. 2nd he came out of his room after getting dressed from his bath with underwear on his had. What a silly boy, I love him soooo much and he is such a joy to have in our family. He may be small, but he sure makes a great big wonderful impact on our family.

Case Learning to ride his bike...

2010-05-18T11:19:00.006-06:00

Case will be 5 in July, so we think it's about that time for him to try and ride his bike without his training wheels. Glenn took his training wheels off, and off they went. He is still learning, but I thought I would share some of the learning experience.
Of Course we put on the helmet, and we definitely needed it!!! hehe

Daddy with Case

OWWW, and we fell, but he got right back on and tried again.

We will continue to keep trying and I don't doubt it will take one to two more times for him to get it.

Dallas' 7th Birthday

2010-05-17T10:19:00.002-06:00

This year for Dallas' Birthday we made it a weekend event due to the fact that his Birthday is hard to celebrate with it being on Sunday the Sabbath Day. So on Friday the 14th his Grandparents from Utah surprised him by coming up for a visit for the weekend, then at 1:30 6 of his friends from church showed up and he had a fun birthday party full of games, a pinata, cupcakes, and presents. He had a blast. Then that night we went to TGI Friday's for dinner, with Grandpa Wilson and Grandma Ann. Saturday we woke up got ready for the day and then went to the Zoo, had a BBQ with family that night and getting lots of good gifts, then on Sunday we gave him his 2 last gifts, went to Church, then went to our friends Todd and Angies for a Dinner they fixed for us. When we got home we were surprised to see that the "Birthday Elf" (Aunt Christy with helpers) decorated our house for Dallas' Birthday, he loved it and thought it was cool that they did that for just HIM!!! We love you Dallas and hope you have had a great 7 years with us and will continue to love being with us, and being you. You are a wonderful child and we are glad that you joined our family! We love you!!! Love- Mommy, Daddy, Tridon, Case, and Avery!!! (Enjoy the Slide Show Below)

Tridon's 1st Pinewood Derby!

2010-05-12T13:15:00.002-06:00

Tridon had his first pinewood derby on May 6th, 2010. He was soooo excited about this part of scouts and has been for a long time. Glenn and Tridon made a really awesome car, it turned out was neat. Tridon did as much work on it as he could, and Glenn did the parts that he would have a hard time with. Glenn cut it out, and shaped it, then Tridon sanded it, they both spray painted it yellow, and then taped it up for the stripe and then helped Tridon with the black spray paint, then they put the wheels on an also added the "weight", then the final detailing the asked Me for that, so I got to work and put the number the lights, licence plate, and the window color, plus added bumpers. We never thought that it would do soooo well. We are all super proud of his car, are we are excited for the next year.

Before I wrote that we put the boys in Wrestling, well last night was their first matches. They got to wrestle 3 times each, and were paired up with kids that were their age and weight. They all did really well. Tridon didn't surprise us on how well he did, he pinned all 3 of his guys and he is very FAST and very FURIOUS. He is a squirmier and get out of just about anything. He was having so much fun that he was having a hard time waiting tell his next match. Dallas on the other hand didn't have such a great night. Glenn and I think that he still doesn't get the concept of how to do it, plus he is just to nice, he didn't want to hurt anyone so he didn't wrestle as well as he does with his brothers. He won one and lost two, so he was sad, but we are still very proud of him for trying. He told us that he didn't want to do it anymore, but I told him that he had to finish out the season, and then if he didn't want to do it next year he didn't have too. Case SURPRISED us. He did so well and loved every minute of the actually wrestling. He has new nickname, he now called "Leech", I know it's not very flattering, but that is what he looked like. He wouldn't let go at all, he even did a summer sault with a kid, Case was laying on this kids back, and the kid flipped and did a summer sault and Case went with him, and still ended up on top some how. I was told later that Case's cousin Scott told him to get a hold of the kid and not to let go no matter what, well Case listened and did what he was told.
We are soooo proud of all 3 of the boys. They all tried their hardest and did great. Check out their pictures below! If you would like to come, please do. I have the schedule in the next post down.

Kuna Caves

2010-02-17T10:52:00.002-07:00

Family Outing to the Kuna Caves! Ok so I have never been out to "Kuna Caves" and I was expecting to see a cave in the side of mountain, but no it was that it was a hole in the middle of the flattest part of Kuna!!! It was deep and scary and dark!!! We were invited by Brian and Christy with their 3 boys plus Lee and Sharon went. We decided that we needed to take our nephews Scott & Chad, and our nieces Arica & Julia plus we took Maddie, our friends daughter. We left Avery with Alayna, because it would be too hard for Avery to go down into the hole.
It was fun and a great learning experience for our boys. We made the drive out to Kuna Caves, then we ventured into the deep dark hole, after that Brian brought his guns so we shot those (yes Mom we practice good gun safety and went over ALL the rules of NEVER touching a real gun that is not handed to you by an responsible Adult in a responsible situation), and then drove somewhere else, then home we went. We had a great time and I hope you enjoy the album below!

Happy Valentines Day 2010

2010-02-17T10:01:00.002-07:00

We had a great Valentines Day Weekend. This Year we celebrated Friday, Saturday and a little bit on Sunday with the Family! On Friday we went to a movie with our Best Friends Todd and Angie - we went and saw "Valentines Day", it was cute I thought! Then on Saturday the kids hung out with Grandpa/ma Jordan for a little while, so Glenn and I could go to Lunch and the store without them. Then that late afternoon, we took the kids to Alayna's house and had her kids watch them while we went to Texas Roadhouse, and a movie with Doug and Alayna, we saw "Sherlock Holmes" I liked that one too. Then on Sunday we had a yummy dinner after Church and we gave the kids little boxes of chocolate. We hope all of you had a great and wonderful day(s) with the sweetheart(s) in your life. I know that I have the best 5 Valentines in the world. I love you Glenn, Tridon, Dallas, Case, and Avery! XOXO to all of you!

January 2010 Journal Entry!

2010-02-01T18:00:00.002-07:00

Not much happened this month, it was just a yucky winter month. I did get released from my calling in Church, as a Nursery Leader, I have not yet been called to anything else. I attend Glenn's Sunday School Class where he teaches the 14-16 year old youth. He really is a great teacher of the Youth, they really are in tune with him. I really have enjoyed hanging out with him.
Tridon has now been on his Medication for his ADD/ADHD for a month, and it really seems to be helping him, his grades have gone up double if not more. We are super proud of him.
Dallas lost BOTH of he front teeth, he reminds of Goofy right now, he is such a silly kid.
Case is still loving Pre-School and seems to have really grown up since he stared school. He really does well with spelling/writing his name.
Avery is a typical 2 1/2 year old - ALWAYS getting into something that usually is not what she should. About a week ago, she found some pink nail polish and she decided to paint her own nails, and she liked the color so much that she used it for lip stick also, funny but not funny, the good news about this is I didn't find one drop of it on the carpet or anything else besides her finger/nails, her foot, and her lips. She did pretty good with getting just on her lips.
Glenn has been doing great buying cars off of Craigslist for his buddy and making a little bit of money from him, so that has been nice. He seems like he really enjoys it.
Well we hope all of you had a great first month of the New Year, and hope that the rest of 2010 brings you and your families happiness!

I will try and write one of these end of the month posts at the end of each month, just so ya'll know how we are doing and whats up with the Jordan's

Happy Upcoming Valentines Day, we love you all!

Happy New Year 2009

We didn't have a huge thing, because I felt sore and like crap from the inncident on the 29th, and thanks to my friends who made it fun for all we had a small get together at our house where with our friends we brought in 2010. We hope that all of you have a great 2010. View the scrapbook below, and enjoy.

Scary but True!!

2010-01-08T08:07:00.008-07:00

December 29, 2009 we had a super scary experience at the Wal-Mart parking Lot. I decided to run to the store and get a few things for the week, I had two extra kids this week, and we didn't have enough stuff. So I loaded up Avery, Case, Savannah (my niece), & Caleb (my nephew), and we headed off to Wal-Mart. We had an ok time at the store, I got one of those extended carts with the two extra seats up front and got all the kids into it, with Caleb in the infant seat upfront, and then I put the other 3 in the extra children's area. After we got done at the checkout, Avery decided that she didn't want to sit there anymore and got out, and then told her if she was getting out that she needed to hold on to the side of the cart, and she was a good girl and did just that. Well as I walked through the door to exit the store, I looked to see if I could cross the crosswalk going into the parking lot, and I could so I proceeded out and kept looking down at Avery and side to side, well about 1/2 way through I noticed a white car turning the corner and headed right for us, I looked down at Avery and then back up and realized that the Lady in the white car wasn't even looking at us, and she was not going to stop, so I leaped for Avery, (because she was headed right for her), and as I leaped for her I yelled STOP, and I either pushed Avery down, or tried picking her up, either way I was trying to get her out of the way, and just then the White car hit me in the back of the legs, and pinned me between her car & the cart I was pushing just were Avery's head was. I then looked down for Avery and somehow she ended up under the basket part of the cart, laying on her back with her head on the concrete. She was trying to get up, and so I reached down and picked her up, and asked if she was ok, and she said YES, and then I put her down to see if she could walk, and she walked wobble for a few min, and then she walked fine. I thought I saved her from getting hit, but quite a few witnesses said that she did get hit by the car, and that her head slammed against the concrete. The Police & Paramedic's were called and they checked us out and said that Avery didn't have any life threatening injures, but the wanted her to go to the ER to get her head checked, because she had a big ol' knot on the side of her head where her temple is. They asked us if we would like them to transport her, or if we would like to do it. At the time the police was called, I called Glenn who was at the farm which is about 3 mins away, and he came down with Lee and Sharon. Glenn's parents took the other 3 kids home and he took Avery and I to the ER. We took her in, and they admitted both of us, and gave Avery a CT scan. She and I are ok, but we are sore, and achy! I have Whiplash, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Avery is sore and bruised up. We are pretty lucky for what happened to us, and blessed that we didn't have to have a funeral for Avery. We have an Attorney dealing with the her Insurance for us, so we can focus on healing our bruised and sore muscle's, and broken emotion's. I thank the Lord everyday for blessing me with the quick thought process to save my daughter from a horrible death or sad life that she may have had to live. They elderly lady that hit us is 88 years old, and she got her Driving Licence taken away, and she has to go in for full review before she can get it back, which means she has to go and get a Medical and an Eye exam, plus take the written and physical driving test.
Thanks to all of those who has helped us with this, and the prayers you have asked for on our behalf. We needed them and still need them. Please take this as a lesson for all, you never know when it will be the last time you see someone, so please tell your loved ones that you love them, so on that note. I love you and always remember that I think of you often and have an endless love for you. Much Love- Camie
p.s. there are a few pics of some of Avery's injuries below, you really can't see them that well, but it will give you an idea of what was there.

Halloween was a blast this year. The boys loved it, and Avery thought she was in Heaven with ALLLLLLL that candy! Avery was Tinker Bell this year, and she was soooooo cute. Case was a cowboy on the 30th for the Church party, and Pre-school and then he was a Knight when he went Trick or Treating. Dallas wanted be something scary, so he was a vampire. Tridon final got to be Optimus Prime this year, he has been wanting to be Optimus for 2 years, but I never wanted to spend $30.00 on a stupid costume, so we got lucky and found one at a Yard Sale for a dollar back in July, so he got his wish this year. The fun started for the kids on the 29th when Tridon had is school party, and then on the 30th Dallas and Case had their fun school parties, also on that day we had our church party. Then the big the 31st, HALLOWEEN!!! Boise State had a game that day so we hung out for the game and then went Trick or Treating, after all the candy and fun filled evening we ended by watching the "Scooby Doo" movie!

Good-bye to our sweet Daisy!

2009-09-01T18:12:00.005-06:00

Well our family had tuff/sad day this last weekend and today. To sell or not to sell or Wonderful Bloodhound Daisy!?!? To start our story, Glenn was up doing a bid for work, and he decided to take Daisy with him, for a ride! As he was stopped to get a drink, a rancher from Melba noticed Daisy, and asked Glenn if he knew where to get another one, Glenn joking said "you can buy this one", and the rancher said "how much", well Glenn told him a price that he didn't think that he would go for, well he did! He said that he was on his way out of town and that he would call him when he got back. Well after the conversation with the rancher Glenn called me and asked my opinion, and I told him that I think it would best for Daisy that she went to a 400 acre ranch then be stuck in a backyard with hardly no attention from us, (because of very busy lives). We also informed the kids, and the only one that was upset was Tridon, another reason for us to sell her. Well today the rancher called Glenn and wanted to bring his wife out to see her, and most likely pick her up. We decided to have him come while the older boys were at school, so today Daisy went to a new, and better home. She is a super good Dog and we hope that she will enjoy her time playing with other dogs and the 2000+ cows that she will help with, plus she will finally learn to hunt, and do what she is breed for. We do love her, but we know that if we love her as much as we do, we would do the right thing for her, by putting her in a better home for her. Tridon is really upset, but he knows that this is best, but we will miss her.

Well our baby girl Avery turned 2 today, and she sure shows it too! MISS ATTITUDE!!! Avery had a party on Saturday, due to school starting on Wed, and the busy activity we will have on Tues. Thank you too all of our family and friends that were able to make it and help us celebrate her birthday, also thank you for the gifts!
Avery is growing up sooo fast, and becoming quite the little girl, very girly (she loves her nails painted, shoes, her babies, and getting pretty), but she is super tough and can stand up to her brothers or anybody else that has the guts to mess with her, (after all she is going to have to be tough, right)! She loves her daddy, and has him wrapped around her finger, but I have to say she is her mommies daughter. Well Avery, we hope you had a great birthday, and hope that you will have many more happy years with us! Love you baby girl, and Happy Birthday!

Mexican Riviera Crusie Aug. 2-9, 09

2009-08-11T15:54:00.003-06:00

Well Glenn and I have been married for 10 years, and so to celebrate we decided to go on a Cruise to Mexico with our best friends. With the help of my dear sweet Aunt Alyana who watch our kids, we were able to do so. We left super early on the 2nd of August, and got back really really late on the 9th of August. We took a 7 day Royal Caribbean Cruise to the Mexican Riviera, which includes Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, with departing and returning to L.A. California! We loved it. It was soooo HOT that I wore my swimsuit pretty much the whole trip, it was at the highest 110 degrees with humidity, so we got super hot and played in the water a lot. We shopped, played on the beach and ate our favorite taco's in Cabo, went Zip Lining and on a tour to a Tequila Factory and city tour plus did a little bit of shopping in Mazatlan, and played on the beach and the shopping came to us in Puerto Vallarta, then when we got back to L.A. we took a city tour of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and etc...! We had a blast on the ship that included going to fun and entertaining shows, rock climbing, mini golf, and of course tons of eating. We really loved going with our best friends and would love to do it again real soon. So we came back tanner, weighing about 5 lbs more each, (which is good considering how much we ate), and more relaxed. We are glad we are home with our kids again, we missed then sooooooooooooo much, but it was a super nice break. Thanks to Alayna, for watching the kids, Lee for helping take us to and from the airport, and The Bass family for watching our house, and taking care of Daisy, you all really helped us have such a wonderful time. (please view the slide show below, but be prepared there are TONS of pictures.)

Our 4th of July Fun!

2009-07-06T18:48:00.003-06:00

This year we went up to McCall with some really good friends of ours (The Ferrera's), we rented a cabin in the now mostly deserted Tamarack Ski Resort, we got up there on Thurs and left Mon. We had so much fun hanging out playing cards, Jet Skiing, Fireworks, and visiting McCall. There were a few things that really sucked about the trip (Mosquito's & a not so great Firework show up in McCall), but nothing that ruined it.
(Watch the slide show below to check out the fun)!!!

2009-07-02T10:35:00.003-06:00

This year my Dad and Mom planned a "Wilson Family Reunion" up to Jackson Hole. We has a super fun time and loved going to all the fun places. Glenn and I showed up to the camp ground on Tues instead of wed and surprised my family, Wednesday we went rafting down the Snake River with the help of my Uncle Galen, he had the rafts and life jackets, (Thank you Uncle Galen) and also visited the town of Jackson Hole. Thursday we went to a dinner/show and the Bar J, wow that was Glenn and I's most favorite part of the week, then we got rained on Friday and wasn't able to do much, so on Saturday when were planning on going home we decided that we were going to go home Sunday and hike a 5 mile hike in the Tetons, with the family on Saturday, (that was another one of my favorite, because it was beautiful and exhilarating. Thanks Mom and Dad for planning such a fun trip, and also Thanks Devin and Cody for helping out so much with the prep and the taking care of things. And to top of such a fun time Dallas lost his first tooth within 15 mins of getting home from the trip. Hope to do it again next year. (Here is a very long slide show of the trip) + (there is a photo below of Dallas and his missing tooth)

We with the Bowman's (some friends) and the Niblett's (Glenn's sister and her family)went to the Eagle Fun Days Parade, it's a parade that at the end there is a water fight which includes water guns, buckets, and even the firetrucks join in the fun. It was a blast!

Bike Jumps

2009-06-18T14:51:00.005-06:00

At Tylers birthday party, Christy brought Tylers bike jump up and the kids started jumping off of it. Tyler and Tridon started it, and Glenn had to get into it too, and then Dallas tried it. Guess what, we had no major accidents, only a few bumps and bruises on Tridon.

Sleding in June- We stopped up the road a little bit, after visiting Silver City, and found a snow pile that hasn't melted yet so the kids got to sled a little bit. It was funny- Daisy even joined in the fun!

Glenn was doing a job over at a park that had water sprays and fountians that you can play in. So while Glenn worked I took the boys and Avery over to the water and let them play.

Tridon's Birthday

2009-05-31T18:25:00.009-06:00

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

2009-05-28T14:43:00.003-06:00

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)

Baker City, OR - Memorial Day Weekend

2009-05-25T20:28:00.004-06:00

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

2009-05-24T09:36:00.004-06:00

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

2009-05-17T20:24:00.004-06:00

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!

2009-05-15T08:29:00.004-06:00

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

2009-05-15T08:10:00.003-06:00

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!!!
