NOT QUITE THE WORLD CUP...BUT CLOSE
















Jordan has hung up her ballet shoes for the fall in place of some cleats and Daddy is the coach!  She had her first game this weekend..HILARIOUS!  She took more juice breaks than anything and even had a teary meltdown in there, but it was so fun to watch my girl on the field.  My first official day as a soccer mom...just missing that mini van!  Brooke was there to cheer on her big sister!

First Day of School!!






Jordan had a successful first day of preschool!  She did a great job listening and following directions and came home and told us all about her great day.  Apparently she really didn't eat...I guess the "sloppy sliders" were not appetizing for lunch..go figure.  She also didn't nap..however she was JAZZED when she came home...talking a mile a minute and twirling around.  She finally crashed.  So proud of my baby girl.  So crazy that she has a backpack, a cubby hole, etc!  AHHHH!!  Stop growing up!

Three Years Old






Jordan officially is a three year old.  She is HILARIOUS!  She walks with her hands on her hips, changes her mind every day about what to be for Halloween, is obsessed with looking at herself in the mirror, shows me the same ballet/gymnastic moves over and over, only will wear dresses, is so sweet to her baby sister, loves anything Angelina and princess, continues to love sweets and pasta, and is one of the lights of our world.  I can hardly believe that three years ago I was recovering from a c-section and holding this little miracle in my arms.  God has given me many gifts and I am honored and blessed to be a mommy to my sweethearts. 

My girls
