Jordan's 10th Birthday Party

I cannot believe I am writing a post about my 10 year old's birthday party. Funny thing is, he's been 10 years old now for 2 weeks- seriously time goes by way too fast. The day started off rainy but God gave us a beautiful day (4.9.11) to celebrate! We had Jordan's party out at our new land (actually at my parents house) and the kids had a blast! There was close to 50 of our friends and family there and it was the perfect time! The kids played, the adults played cornhole and hung out, we had a weenie roast, made smores, ate some delicious cookie cake made by my best friend Laurie- it was a great evening. Jordan received money for his birthday and is wanting to purchase an IPOD Touch with it. We are so blessed to have wonderful family and friends. Happy 10th Birthday Jordan, we love you very much!!!!

Friends!

I had to take Jordan to the allergy doctor today. Jake went home with two buddies from school to play for the afternoon. Another friend from school came too and they had a blast! I am so thankful for the all the "mom" friends I have made in Jake's class. They are truly a blessing to me!

God Gave Us This Day!

Today is a special day around our house. Brad and I have been married 13 years and Jordan turned 10 years old today. I cannot believe this many years have gone by! I love Brad more and more every day and God continues to grow our marriage stronger every day. I cannot imagine experiencing life with anyone other than Brad! It was one of the best decisions of my life, marrying him! Our first gift was Jordan Michael, born at 5:32 a.m. on this day! He continues to amaze me every day with how much he is maturing and learning. He is a sweet boy (when he wants to be) and has a tender heart. He is hungry for the Word and I pray that God uses him in a mighty way. Jordan, mom and dad are so very proud of you. You are a wonderful son, loving young man and such a great big brother to Jake. Your love and enthusiasm for all things sports, amazes me. The way you retain scores, players names, teams, etc... blows my mind! Your love for your friends and family is deep. Your love for God is evident too, you are constantly on us to do devotions and I pray God uses your hungry heart to serve Him. You are truly a gift from above and I love you my first born. I love these two special men in my life and thank God for them daily!

Spring Break '11 - Fishin' Trip That Wasn't!

On Wednesday of Spring Break we headed to Scales Lake to fish and have a picnic with my sister, nephew and dad. It was too windy and cold to fish, so we hung out around the lake and the kids played in the woods. They had a blast! They used their imaginations and played, it was so nice to see them be kids! Justin brought his friend Dominic along, he fit right in with my boys. It was a beautiful day weather wise, the kids were excellent and we ended the day off visiting a little ice cream place on the square for some yummy dessert!

Spring Break - Trip to Louisville

On the last day of Spring Break, we headed to Louisville with our good friends the Beard's. We had lunch at Joe's Crab Shack and visited the Louisville Slugger Museum. It was a great way to end a relaxing week!
