MARCH/APRIL 2010

On January 4, 2010 Corey started working at the local radio station, Cherry Creek radio, as an account representative. Then in the beginning of March he started working from 5p.m. to 10p.m. at Big Lots! Jordan and I didn't really see him much because he came home from the radio station at 4 then had to leave for his second job at 5. He is working very hard. I appreciate him and I love him every second.

In March my brother married his darling wife Shelby. So my sister came down from Salt Lake with Jovie and Brock. My Grandma also came down. It was a good time. Easter was around that time as well. That was fun with Jordan looking for her Easter eggs. We took a lot of videos of it, more than pictures. We had the kids playing and getting into everything. They have so much fun together.

Then I had my birthday and of course was spoiled. I was able to play in the St. David volleyball tournament all day and we took 2nd out of 10. It was a lot of fun!

Jordan turned 14 months in April. She loves to fall asleep with her monkey, she used to let us hold her for a second before putting her down but now she just wants to be put in her crib, she loves to watch and play with other kids, she's always smiling. She loves to dance to all music, she actually dances to the beat too, she picked up this new trait and she now rolls her eyes (it's adorable now but it won't be when she is 16, ha!). She drinks 2% milk, knows what an elephant says and a doggy, she says dog, dad, mom, guck for duck, she loves her juice, she walks everywhere and climbs everything, she loves to swim and play at the park. I love our daughter, I am so blessed. She will love being the big sister in charge and that she will be!

FEBRUARY 2010

Jordan turned one year on February 21, 2010. She had chocolate cupcakes and tons of presents. She was a little behind on her stats because we didn't take her to the doctor until she was fifteen months old. So her stats were 28 lbs. and 34 in. She got her one year shots too of course, those are always fun right? Ha! She started walking two weeks after her first birthday. I have to say I was a huge fan of walking more than crawling. She was able to get to me faster, that's why I liked it. Jordan is one hilarious one year old. She is walking everywhere and getting into everything too. :) She is also fast. This girl loves music and dances every time she hears it. She throws her head back and waves it back and forth. It cracks me up. Her laughter comes in different styles, she has her deep laugh when she is being tickled, her pity laugh, her fake laugh (this one is funny) because she mimmicks your laughter. She says goggy for doggy, hi, dad, dada (for everything), no (cute but not), mama (when she is whining), etc., and all the other words I don't understand, love it. Happy 1 year Jordan!!!

2010 flew by!!!

I definitely am the world's worst blogger ever hands down. Of course I have been living in the stone age. Not having a computer is really hard, it feels strange. But now I remember all the things I used to do before I had all these luxuries. So I'm proud to say my journal is pretty packed with everything. At least I'm writing it down somewhere I guess. But I definitely miss looking at all of your updates and pictures for sure. This luxury is nice. I also saw my sister's blog book when she got it for christmas a couple years ago and it's so cool, so I do want that too. Anyway don't give up on me just yet. Right now I am using my mom's laptop from her classroom, so nice of her. We still have not gotten a computer yet but we will soon, yeah! :)

I have to grab my journal and update everything from the past year and Jordan's journal to remember everything. It was a good year, ready and happy for a new one, but all in all a good one. I am going to have to update slowly because it will be too much at once.

The last time I blogged we were still living with my parents. We moved out into an apartment on February 13, 2010. We were happy and so grateful my parents opened their home to us but we were very ready to get out as were they. (No hard feelings ever :) ) We love having them so close but not in the same walls, haha. She is agreeing with me right now, good times! We did have a blast though. A live-in babysitter is always the best kind. :) All jokes aside we love you guys, thanks for everything.

So I spoke of some of Jordan's new likes, this game is mine and Corey's new like! Our friends, the Forsbergs introduced this game to us and it seriously is a blast to play. If any of you have not played this game please do so. It is hilariously fun!!! All of the peeps in the 900 court this almost rules out couples catch phrase, not even joking! Family, watch out it's coming to reunions, haha! PLAY IT!

11 months!

Jordan turned 11 months on January 21st! She is getting so big so fast and learning quickly. Her new found like is the piano, the real piano, she loves to crawl right up to it try to climb on the bench first, then realizes she can't quite do that and starts playing the keys. Luckily she doesn't pound it yet so it's not a bad thing, YET! She still loves the dog of course. We taught her how to do high five, it's so fun, she will do it with you forever when she wants to. When she doesn't want to she will either stare at you or move your hand away with hers, haha! She will also do both hands for high ten! She loves to sing the hymns in church quite loudly actually, sometimes it's embarrasing but mostly funny! She loves to watch other kids, she has a friend named Rachel at church, they give each other kisses and hugs. It's really cute! She loves to wrestle with her dad when he gets home from work. She loves to eat cheese and chicken nuggets! She says dada, mama, hi, dah (for dog), she likes to talk to dad and anyone else who calls us on the phone. She loves to climb the stairs. She loves car rides! She still loves taking two long naps, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. She still sleeps long nights, she does need a nightlight now though! She is officially scared of the dark, we learned that the hard way! I felt horrible because she usually sleeps through the night and she kept waking up not hungry and totally scared sitting in the corner of her crib, so FINALLY one night I was like hey duh maybe she needs some light, yup that was the key. I felt so bad! I'm so sorry it took me a little bit to realize baby J! She loves to swim, LOVES it! She still loves her very warm baths. Loves her bottle, blankets and I could go on forever. Jordan your dad and I love everything about you, muah!
