First Soccer Game

India had her first soccer game this weekend. She is the only girl on her team but she definately holds her own out there. The players really did a good job for their first time...there were tears, they ran on and off the field whenever they chose, and there were many times when the ball was tackled and carried. In their defense the game was close to lunch time and they were preoccupied with snacks and drinks. You will notice the color of our videos is off. We haven't had time to fix it.

June

We have been so busy and having so much fun that we have forgotten to keep up with the website. Our summer days have been relaxing and full of adventure. We go to the splash park behind our house almost everyday. Jordyn is talking up a storm and India is never at a loss for a story. There are so many good ones.... the other day we were driving and India said, "Mommy you are driving really fast; you should slow down." I said "Oh, I'm sorry." India said "You don't have to be sorry Mommy. You didn't hit anyone." Other news: Jordyn is now sleeping in her big girl bed at night. We are still working on nap time because her and India just want to play and can tear a room apart.

The girls at play

Summer has arrived!

Today was our first day off for summer vacation! YAY!!!! Unfortunately mom and the girls are feeling a little under the weather. We didn't let that stop us as we visited the zoo and the park. We didn't take pictures because being sick makes us cranky (Although there was one moment when the girls were playing on the couch and I told them how cute they looked. India said, "Well take a picture Mommy!" The camera is never there when you want it! You will see from another post that India is already a great photographer. She loves to play with the camera and we are amazed at how well they turn out.

Here are some pics of the girls new big girl beds. India is sleeping in hers but Jordyn is not quite ready to give up the safety and security of her crib.

If anyone has a few spare moments please stop by. Since the girls have little colds they are in need of a little extra love and cuddling!!
Love you!

Small Accomplishments

Hope all is well to all who dwell. Thanks for listening as we share. Were blessed and happy to share we raise our children in a Godly home with joys and expectations that the sky's the limit. Celebrate with us as we feast on the joys of Jordyn having two successful poops in the potty this week. Yep, we get excited over here on the things that motivate us to to better! Well, we went for a walk to look at the horses beside our house as a celebration. We passed an elderly man with his dog along the way and of course the girls were very excited about the dog. When we got beside the old man, India said, "My sister Jordyn pooped on the potty!" Just as loud and proud as she could. The poor man did not know what to say and we just died laughing!

Last Wednesday

This is what we woke up to this past Wednesday morning. Spring in Colorado is a "different" experience! You can see from the pictures that even the girls had a hard time getting moving...they came right downstairs and found their favorite place on the couch. It is also really confusing to them as we switch from no jackets, to spring jackets, to winter jackets, and back to spring jackets again.

Pictures

This past weekend India had her 3 year pictures taken and Jordyn her 18 mos. (Actually 17 mos. but we were consolidating visits). Here are just a few of our favorites.

Spring...Snow...Spring

You may think that we look girly, but we are just getting our fill now because Daddy is going to make basketball players out of us. Then he says that we can't be girly anymore. Mommy says that it doesn't matter, we can be girly and basketball players. All I know is that basketball is ALWAYS on the TV these days. Daddy said it's playoff time and Mommy says that it's playoff time for two more months.

We just got back from the aquarium today. Yesterday it was snowing and it's still a little rainy today so we had to find something indoors to do. It was so much fun! Of course the tiger was our favorite. I liked the sharks too. Jordyn seemed to like the little colorful fish and the turtles the best.

Talk with you soon!
We Love you,
India

Our New Neighborhood

This one speaks for itself..... notice we included the guilty parties.

Easter

The girls were so much fun on Easter this year. They got excited about the egg hunt we went on and loved their bunny ears. Sorry there are no pictures of the actual egg hunt...it was a frantic, hectic time. We did get picture of the girls in the car with their baskets looking at their loot. Thank you to everyone who helped to make our Easter special with the thoughtful packages and cards! We felt spoiled and loved.

Seriously Beautiful

Here is a picture of the girls we had taken today. They were bound and determined not to smile for the camera. In India's defense, she had shots at the doctor's yesterday and is struggling with a really sore leg today. Jordyn has her older sister's back and wasn't going to smile if her big sister wasn't. They still look beautiful!

Top Ten Lists

Just for fun I thought I would post top ten lists of little known facts about the girls. Feel free to post your top ten list in comments :)

Jordyn's List
1. She will try to say any word you say to her.
2. When she hurts herself she wants to bury her head in your shoulder and bite you and kick her feet.
3. She loves animals and makes a mean tiger growl.
4. She goes from laughing to a loud, high pitch scream immediately, there is no happy medium.
5. She eats a lot of what she likes and won't touch what she doesn't want.
6. She hates to have her face wiped and screams and wiggles the whole time.
7. She got her first set of molars before her third set of front teeth.
8. When she eats she likes to put her foot on the table. We are trying to break her of this habit before anyone notices.
