Ballet and Gymnastics

Jordan began ballet this year and loves it!

You can see her teacher in the background, from RWB.

Hardest part for me is they do not allow any parents in to watch.

I feel like I'm missing out on the whole thing!

Both kids started gymnastics again this year however they are

in seperate classes now. So a bit of a change, but they still love it!

They run Jordan's gymnastics class the same as her ballet class,

no parents allowed...boohoo for me!

Big guy does it all himself now!

Miss "thang" in her gymnastics outfit...course has to be pink!

Every class begins with a warm-up run!

Jordan's first day of Kindergarten!!!

Jordan's first day of school outfit her Daddy bought her...so cute!

Wallace did not want her to go...he's lost without his big sister and determined never to go to school himself. Ever.

Look at my big girl...sniff sniff...

She had to have a brown and pink backpack...she loves having one. I hid secret messages all over the inside of her backpack just between her and mommy!

This was a VERY hard day for me but Jordan handled things really well...I on the other hand, did not.

Daddy's big girl!

Nana and Jordan.

Papa, Jordan and Wallace as we were leaving...

Deep in thought on her way there....

The "green mile" so to speak...well for me...man that was hard handing her over, horrible!

Meeting up with the other kids in her class and her teacher Mrs.Penner!

Jordan calls Mrs. Penner "snow white's grandma"...so cute! What a great teacher, Jordan is fortunate to have her we've heard.

Jordan and her friend Ava!

Getting ready to go to class....here is when my anxiety levels skyrocket....

Jordan ran back while everyone was heading in to give her brother a hug goodbye...so sweet!

The new principal even came out to say hello and welcome the new students!

She made it....I made it! We left with her super excited to go back...Congratulations to my big girl Jordan! I love you "Boobers!"

My big girl and her special powers...

So my beauty was diagnosed with a heart murmur, the kind she'll likely grow out of. We've told her she has a special power inside her and when she feels the flutter it means something really good is about to happen...its magic. She has taken it all in stride of course, even the crazy tests like this one with the Halter Monitor on. October brings another string of tests because I'm a mom that will not accept anything less than all the tests available. I love my Jordan, she's awesome and is total magic as far as I'm concerned!

Kelly Turns 40!

The morning started with his kids and thier homemade presents! Including handmade pinata's!

Then the knock on the door came....whoops...friends got him good with an sign and a less than flattering picture blown-up on our lawn.

Uncle Gary's Birthday Visit

Uncle Gary took a turn on the trampoline...not bad!

Auntie Pam had a go too...

Then the real fun began...beat on the uncle woot woot!

Highlight of the visit was of course...the cake! Happy Birthday Uncle Googie!

Ah the boyz...cousin Keith and cousin Joshua...bet they slept well after the visit with Jordan and Wallace!

This was the best...Wallace got a hold of Kelly's hair putty and did his own hair...awesome!

Grafton camping weekend

So we went camping with some folks and decided what better time
for Jordan to try out her bike without training wheels....all the kids
were there to cheer her on!

Dad took the first round...

Jordan took the falls with a smile!

The 3yr olds decided they could have some fun too!

Then Mom gave it a go...
