Jayde Washing Dishes

Jayde loves to help wash her bottles. She even helps me clean-up with a rag once we are done. There usually is a lot of water, so it is all very needed.

Her other favorite thing is to sit in our front window looking outside. We moved our coffee table to the window and a chair to she can climb up and down when she wants to look outside.

Just a family update...

I appologize, it has been awhile since I have wrote and updated our blog. Things have been hecktic, as everyone, but man we have made some progress on our home and in life. Tom has been gone to many trainings for weeks on end, but that is finally all complete. We have been busy finishing the basement (mudding now), which has been a huge job. Once we are complete the entire basement will be done. Yeah!

We have been spending our time getting ready for our big vacation to Hawaii! We are all way excited! Jayde is getting so big and saying so many things now. She knows all her body parts and many animal sounds, plus some extras. I bet you did not know that the sun actually makes a very scary sound. We did not know this until the other night. Interesting! Her hair is finally long enough in the back to make pig tails. Way cute!

Jordan only has a few more weeks of school left and cannot wait til summer vacation. Many fun things planned for him this summer, on both sides. Here are some odd and end photos of everyone!

Basement Work Beginning

We got sheet rock delivered for the whole basement. This is what Tom use to do, run the truck and crane. There was only two people that showed-up on the truck so he had to go to work. He does not miss that job, although he was very strong back then, just kidding he still is strong. Right now he is almost done sheet rocking the one bedroom. We are getting very excited!

Jordan Playing Basketball

Jordan has been playing basketball every Saturday morning (either 8 or 9 am for games). This has been a great opporunity for him and he is doing very well at it. Because he is one of the tallest boys on the team and he has big hands. He makes several baskets every game and does a great job at defense, including getting the ball from the other team. We are very proud of him!

Pulling Faces

Jayde has this new thing when the camera is pointed at her she pulls funny faces. Here she is pulling all the tissues out of the tissue box, loads of fun! Dad bought her a new chair, when I got home from work he said "I don't even feel back, it was so cute I had to get it for my little cutie."

Once there was a BIG snowman...

Tom and the neighborhood kids (including Jordan) made a 10 foot snowman in January. Usually our snow here is really light and fluffy, not good for snowman making, but this snow storm was wet. So all the neighbors worked on making the biggest snowman, ours won! Tom had to use the ATV ramp to get the second ball onto the smowman. Fun day! When Jayde woke-up, all she could say was "WOW".
