Holiday Season

Wordless Wednesday

The many sides of Bella :)

Long Lost Blog!!

Sorry for the serious lack of blogging. I blame it on being a single mom for 5 weeks, the holidays, and pure exhaustion! Other then totally flaking on some blog updates I feel like the 5 weeks Jourdan was gone went really well. Sure I had a couple moments of wanting to bang my head into a wall but I refrained from doing so. (barley) But for the most part all was good. The kids and I had a good time with each other. If it is at all possible I feel like we even got a little closer. I did learn some things about myself while he was gone. I learned that I can do it. It is funny when your spouse is gone you just grin and bear it, get the job done, because nobody else is legally obligated to come over and do the dishes, laundry, cleaning, butt whipping, gift buying, gift wrapping, car pool driver, .............. I also learned that I only shave my legs during the winter for my husband. :) (TMI??) But once we had him back it was great. The kids and I enjoyed having him home for Christmas very very much!

So some holiday pictures. I will start with the day before Christmas eve. My brother and Uncle have started a tradition of going snow boarding that day and they bring home a ton of snow in the back of my bothers truck. All the kids love it! My cousins are the same age as my girls and the 4 of them had a blast! I am hoping Brent and Joe keep up with the tradition even though I got my brother pretty good in the ear with a snow ball and he said he wouldn't. ;) It was totally worth it!

Ewan was pretty confused by the whole thing. After about 10 minutes we had to bring him in because his fingers were frozen!

December?????!!!!!

Oh my gosh! It is already a week into December! I love this time of year and always want it to last! Before Jourdan left we were able to take the kids to see Santa. I was expecting Ewan to be a little nervous. He wasn't at all! He practically jumped from my arms to his arms. Bella was so cute with him also! She kept asking if he was the real Santa and if he really knew who she was. :) Mady was just excited to talk about gifts......

My Husband...... The Director

Most of you know (all 2 of you who read:) that Jourdan is on his way to becoming a Feature Film Director.( http://www.roguerivermovie.com/ ) I can not even begin to explain how excited we all are for him. He leaves us next week to start filming his first movie in Oregon. He is so excited to have a couple of "big" name actors. (big name if your into horror movies) Jourdan is such a hard working dedicated person that I am sure he will do amazing at his job. Me on the other hand.... My job for the next month while he is gone will be single mom. I don't think I will be as amazing as him. Good yes (most days) amazing.......????? The idea of him being gone so long has made me way more emotional then I thought I would be. This is the longest we will go without seeing each other in 12 years. Thank God for ichat. :)

**Disclaimer*** Although Jourdan looks all important in this photo Really we were on a hike and he was talking to his MOM!! Don't want it all to go to his head. :) Love you Babe.

This boy turned 2 last weekend. I can not believe how fast 2 years have gone by. I feel like I just wrote a post on his 1st birthday! He is still such a fun happy boy but boy have the 2's set in. He is super active and curious. Ready to climb anything, jump off anything, and even plug anything into any available outlet. Childproofing??? This guy is to smart for most of it and what he hasn't figured out yet he will very soon. :) I love that he still snuggles a lot, and even though he isn't talking I always know what he wants or needs. Happy Birthday big Boy!

And no I did not take one picture of his birthday party. Hello #3 I will try harder :)

Wordless Wednesday

I know this is a very blurry picture but you get the idea. :) We have known each other since we were babies. This one is from January 1998 I was 14 almost 15 (i know shocking) and Jourdan was 16. We were, WERE dorks! Now we are super cool adults. :)
