Jordan's First Solo Ride

We went to my parent's cabin in the mountains for Memorial Day. Jordan had a lot of fun digging in the dirt and Megan had fun trying to eat the dirt. One of the highlights of the day was Andrew led Jordan around on River for a little while. Jordan was scared at the beginning because he's only ridden when someone's sitting with him on the saddle. At first he was crying and saying, "Too Big, All Done!" By the end he was loving it though. This whole week he's been carrying around his little plastic horse, which he has named River. Way to go Jordan!

Megan's favorite things

Megan loves walking. She just walks and walks all day long. She actually starting walking about a month ago. Once she took her first few steps that was it, she didn't want to crawl anymore. She was very determined and picked it up really quickly.

This is one of her favorite hang-out spots. She sits behind the curtain and plays peek-a-boo.

Megan loves her binky and the ribbon always has to be right under her nose. Whenever I put her binky in she always turns it until the ribbon is just right. She even does this in her sleep.

This is her new trick. When she goes from sitting to standing she usually likes to stop along the way and hang out in this position for a little while.

I think her most favorite thing is smiling and being happy. I snapped this picture before church a couple of weeks ago. I realized when looking at her that day that she is not my little baby, but is looking more and more like a little girl. Oh, these fleeting moments.

Time for a haircut!

Jordan is starting to look like one of the "lost boys" with his bushy head of hair. Andrew cuts his hair and he has been so busy lately that literally the only time he's free to do it is when Jordan is sleeping. Hmmm....maybe I'll have to give it a try, do I dare?

A Week of Firsts

I experienced my first week as a 30-year-old. I don't feel much different, it just seems weird to me that I'm no longer in my 20's.

We went to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time with Alison's family. Jordan loved seeing all of his special friends. After that we went to the zoo, but I didn't get any pictures of that because it was a little more stressful juggling the kids. Jordan had a lot of fun, but got a little scared of the huge walruses.







Megan got her first pony tail (if you can call it that.)


Jordan thought Megan was so funny with her pony tail and wanted one too.
