jordan michele

this girl is too beautiful for words {if i may say so myself}

remember this is my blog and i can say what i want, right?

i can hardly believe that in 3 short months my jordan will be 14.

really?

the thing i love about her is her humility.

she thinks of herself as so average.

when in fact she is far beyond average,

she is:
spectacular
kind
loving
smart
good
respectful
beautiful
caring
funny
giving
a leader
an amazing daughter, friend, sister, girl friend, student.. all around person.

okay, i'm off my soap box now.

thanks for letting me do a little bragging!

gentleman friends

jessica and tj

where to begin..

they love to text
then call
then text
then call
{you get the picture}
call each other "buddy"
are really cute
they eat lunch together everyday
she loves to hang with him
he likes to hang with her
she even went to watch him race last weekend
totally smitten with him and his cute smile
they are simply adorable

jordan and keegan

where to begin...

they love to spend every. single. waking. minute. together
they text
then call
then text
then call
{you get the picture}
wait a second.. they are usually together so how do they do the fore mentioned?
we either drop him off at home or they drop her here or they pick up or we pick up and no sooner do we make it 50 feet down the street,
and her phone goes off.
seriously.
i'm not even kidding!
it's cute.
he calls her babe
she does the same
he tells her she is beautiful
she tells him she's not
they eat lunch together every. single. day
they are like old people
i'm so thankful jordan has found someone who makes her smile and her heart happy
they are simply adorable.

jord & volleyball

sharing a laugh with her teammates

delivering her killer underhand serve

hustling to get into position as setter

jordan in position



yesterday was the first volleyball game of the season for sandstone middle school.

they won and jordan rocked her serves.

in the third game {where they play till 15, she scored 10 of those points in a row i might add}.

so volleyball season is upon us here in our household.

jordan loves volleyball.

and i must admit she's not half bad at it either.

she made the "B" team once again this year, whatever.

she likes this group of girls better anyway, not to mention she gets to play every game.

she is the "setter" for the team.

i love how her face lights up when she does something she loves.

probably didn't help her boyfriend came to watch her either.

she could care less if i'm there.... but i know she secretly likes it~

also on a high note, i'm going to be taking pictures for the middle school for the yearbook.

i can hardly wait. love hanging around that place, it's a lot of fun!

boyfriends, umm i mean "special friends"

jordan and keegan

tj and jessica


so as you can see things are getting crazy around our house.

my two oldest have gotten seriously bitten by the boy bug.

jordan and keegan are inseparable and pretty cute if i may say so myself.

and jess,

well, her an tj are a hot item as well. they are so cute. really!

texting, hanging, gifting, laughing, dinners, "play dates"

these are all things that happen around here.

i think mark and i are in huge trouble.

HUGE!

oh well, they are good girls and obviously these boys know a good thing when they see it..

okay, that was a little vain for me to say, nah, they are awesome girls and i don't mind ya knowing it!

my loves

i know what you are saying..

another post about my kids.

i can hear you now "i mean seriously don't you have a life?"

ha ha

nope, not much of one at all.

but when this momma loves her daughters as much a i do

you're gonna have to suffer.

ok?

i mean it's my blog and i can do what i want to~

right?

i so need to catch up on my blog.

we've been busy with well, life.

so until we meet again.

i give you my loves!
