Fun in the... flowerbed?

What better place to have a good time than the flowerbed!

Boy was that a dirty bathtub when they were done!

A Weekend in the Country...

I just recently uploaded the pics so I thought I'd write a post. A few weeks ago we went and spent a weekend at Grandma & Papa Franks' house in Comanche, TX. It's nice to get away to their house because they live out in the country... no neighbors... no noise... just peace and relaxtion! They do have quite a few cows, calves, and a really loud bull on their property. Jacob enjoyed watching them go to the bathroom (such a boy!), but Jordan was not a big fan... she preferred to watch them from the house. They were too loud for her!

The first night we were there, we got to actually see fireflies! James, Jacob, and Jordan chased them around the backyard trying to catch one. James finally managed to capture one and put it in a jar. Jacob thought it was funny that he had a light on his bottom! We brought the firefly inside for closer observation. I got some pictures of the capture... even tried to take one with the lights out... see if you can see him!

Mommy/Daughter Day

Jordan and I had a Mommy/Daughter day. We went to the mall and visited the "Build A Bear Workshop". I wasn't sure what to expect since I'd never been there before. Jordan had a bright pink bear picked out immediately, butI decided to show her some other options... just in case. We went from wanting the pink bear, to an orange cat, and then there it was... Hello Kitty. She immediatly wanted that one. From there we picked out a heart, which she kissed before putting inside her kitty. She got to help stuff the kitty as well... that was pretty cool. After Kitty was all sewn up, Jordan got to give her kitty an air bath (complete with bathtub and brushes). Of all the clothes offered, she picked out some Hello Kitty PJ's. We then got to do the birth certificate... Jordan is now the proud mother of "Kitty Kitty Bang Bang"!

Swim Lessons

Wow... it's been a really long time since I have posted. Well the kids completed their first session of swim lessons. It was great to see how much they have improved! Last summer, Jacob would not even get on the first step without arm floaties, a ring around his waist, and holding on to Mommy or Daddy. Now, he's going all the way down to the last step and crawling along the edge of the pool. He's not a big fan of dunking his head under, but we're getting there. Jordan will put her head under... she has less fear! She will stand on the side of the pool and jump in to Mommy or Daddy and completely submerge! She's going to be our little fish! I can't wait to spend the rest of the summer practicing the skills they have learned... it is so fun to watch their faces light up!

Jordan

Jordan is officially potty trained! Woo Hoo! She has worn big girl panties to daycare now 3 days in a row and no accidents!! My baby girl is growin' up! *sniff*
