Friends, Friends, and More Friends

Jordan had two different playdates on Saturday. First, we had a visit with Rylee. Jordan loves Rylee and was so excited to see her. As soon as Rylee walked into the house, the girls changed their clothes immediately into "princess" dress-up. Speaking of which, please take a look at the Princess Alexa Foundation and their dress drive if you get a chance. Always a great cause as you know!! If anything -- all you wonderful people that donated need to go take a look at the children that have been receiving the outfits. Really touching.

Rylee and Jordan had so much fun playing. Katelyn was sleeping during this visit.


Second playdate for the day. Jordan's friend from school came over. Her Mom and I had been trying to get the girls together for awhile.

Yes, another costume change!! Now can you see why I relate to the mission of the Princess Alexa Foundation!

Katelyn was awake and wanted to play as well. She was so cute in the Barbie outfit Jordan had on earlier. She was coloring at her table like the big girls.

Sunday morning, CHH still wasn't feel great so we stayed home and made breakfast. The girls love this. Jordan mixed the pancake batter and Katelyn mixed the eggs.

Katelyn loves to set the table. She is getting pretty good at doing so.

Sunday, Jordan also had a birthday party to go to for another friend. The party was at the place they take gymnastics and Jordan was able to see several of her good buddies. She loved jumping on the trampoline.

She looks and acts like a princess walking on the balance beam.

I thought it was so cute Sarah and her on the climbing wall. Jordan is looking back at me taking her picture.


My monkey on the bars.

After the party, we went home and CHH took the girls out on their bikes. It was a gorgeous day -- in the 70s!


Last night we watched the Super Bowl (43rd Super Bowl - Steelers vs. Cardinals). We did not eat our usual BBQ (our routine) because CHH's gums still hurt for his surgery. We did however lay on the couch and watch the game (me -- somewhat).

At one point during the game (I think when the Steelers got the safety), CHH shouted out that it was STUPID. Jordan was "cooking" in her play kitchen and her head whipped around. She said "Daddy, did you just say "stupid? That is not a nice word and we do not say that word." Adorable :) I told Jordan she was correct and we do not say it. I could tell CHH was thinking -- well, it was stupid!

During the half-time show, I had so much fun with Katelyn. She sat on my lap and bobbed to the music. Bruce Springsteen (the Boss) was great. She was so cute when he was singing "Born to Run". Her little head was bobbing back and forth and she was dancing with her arms.

Also as everyone knows, Katelyn's favorite toy is a ball. She goes nuts over any type of ball. Well during the game, she actually watch a little bit -- the game had a ball in it! At one point when CHH shouted out some comment, Katelyn (I'm laughing while typing this -- I guess you had to be there) while watching the game as well said "Oh No"! It was too funny. I think this daughter may be the game watcher with her Daddy later on in life. We'll see.

We are off to Phoenix next weekend to visit Grandpa, Aunt Nancy, Uncle Hal, Aunt Anita, Uncle Lonnie, my Cousin Janice and her family. Jill is going with us and I'm really excited. It will be a quick trip but great to see all the relatives. Phoenix won't be bad either!
