Volleyball anyone?

Anyone who knows me knows I am in love with playing volleyball, any kind. In April and October I play in a St. David tournament with my friends normal six-on-six indoor. Then last summer I played doubles in a grass tournament that lasts the whole summer. I first played with my friend Rebekka (Herb) then I started playing with my friend Keesa and we won the championship at the end of the summer. I had a lot of fun! This summer we are going to play again. The games are only on saturdays and Corey usually brings Jordan by with the stroller and snacks to come cheer me on. She thinks it's fun to watch mom hit the ball. She yells and claps her hands. It was funny because for winning we got these trophies and she thought it was for her and still does. But of course I gave it to her! She was very excited. The picture isn't very glamorous because being monsoon season it rained all morning on us and plus our sweat doesn't make for a great look! :) In June my friend Brittany put together a four-on-four indoor tournament. Corey and I played with Spencer and Marlee Forsberg. We got fifth out of 10. We did a lot better than I thought we would. We had tons of fun! I love VOLLEYBALL!

JULY 2010

July was a blast literally with fireworks and all. Happy 4th of July! Jordan did not like the fireworks at all, she was terrified. Hopefully next year she will enjoy them. So Corey and I took her home and put her to bed and we were able to watch the show from our balcony because they have the show at our soccer/softball fields, which is across the street. Then my parents came over and we played games. The next morning we woke up and went to the Tucson zoo for the first time with Jordan. My parents took us. Jordan got to feed a giraffe 2 carrots, even though she wanted to eat the carrots herself. She thought the giraffes were way cool. She also really liked the polar bear, he was awesome. He swam the whole time we were watching him and he did a flip under the water. Animals are the best. She also saw the elephants, lions, tiger, monkeys, rhinos, zebras, ducks and tons of birds. It was a great sunny, but very hot day!

One summer day in 2010!

Jordan has been really fascinated with the toilet for a while. While I was cleaning the shower/tub this is what she was doing. I obviously wasn't paying attention. She even closed the lid after she put it in there for more effect. Then when I was ready to clean the toilet this is what I found.......


That's right, it's one of my pot lids. Hahaha! It cracked me up, she thought it was pretty funny too! She has all kinds of fun! :) I'm glad we can laugh together baby J!

JUNE 2010

Just being goofy all the time! :)

In June Corey's younger sister Bre came and stayed with us for a whole week. We swam almost every day, ate out of our minds, went to the cove, played card games, watched movies, talked and everything else you could imagine. Bre is getting so tall and she is only 11. Lea couldn't come this time because she is now cheerleading. We missed her. I'm glad Bre was able to come though. We also got to see Brad when he dropped off Bre and then Peti stayed a few days when she came to pick Bre up. It was a very fun visit.

Jordan is growing so fast. She is saying so many words now. They are: all done (eating), dog-woof, mama, dad/dadda, cheese, please, pretty, roar (lion), aw-aw (monkey), weee, ball, that, what's that, this, hi, hey, so much more I'm done writing, haha! Sometimes it feels like I blink and she learns something new. Love this girl!

MAY 2010

Aw Happy Anniversary baby!

Travis and Teresa so cute!

Love these girls!

Definitely like a hot spring off of the back patio. Nice!

Random picture waiting to eat!

Meghan and Teresa

May 5th was our 3rd wedding anniversary. We celebrated it by going out to eat, I can't remember where haha. But we treated ourselves to half a week without Jordan the 12-15, Wednesday through to Saturday. Our good friends from Salt Lake were meeting up once again. Peter's parents had a time share they weren't going to be using so they asked him if he wanted to use it, so nice of them!!! And I'm glad Peter and Meghan decided to share with us as well and they chose a resort in Scottsdale called The Rocks. It was beautiful. Pretty much we were spoiled with luxury. Peter and Meghan got there Sunday along with Travis and Teresa. Jaron and Lauren got there Tuesday and then we arrived on Wednesday. It was so much fun to see all of their beautiful faces again. I miss these peeps. We layed out, played games, most importantly ate :), we went to a really fun waterpark for a day called wet n wild. (if you have a chance to go do it, it is really fun) My other good friend Gina gave me the best gift during that time which was to watch Jordan. So sweet of her. It was nice because she had her from Wednesday-Friday and she lives in Maricopa which is only 40 minutes or so away from Scottsdale so if Jordan wasn't cooperating or any emergency she wasn't too far from me. Thanks to her a million times over. Then I met Gina at a mall and picked up Jordan, drove to Tucson and met Trent and Shelby. Then they took her to their place until my parents met up with them in Tucson and took her back to Sierra Vista with them for the night and Saturday until we came home that afternoon. I am so grateful everyone was willing to help out and take her in a heartbeat. It was definitely weird though not being with her those days and nights, then seeing her and leaving her again. But it was worth it, sometimes we need vacations, especially when you get a sweet chance like this one. I think they are healthy. All in all we had an awesome time!!!
