It's All About The Girls

Katelyn had her first swimming lessons this weekend and she did so well. She is so darn cute in the pool and thought she was such a big girl getting to take her own lessons like her sister.

Listening to her teacher, Ms. Katie...

Check out my 2 year old underneath the water!! She comes up blinking but not choking - yeah!

After morning swimming lessons for both girls (at different times), we went to the mall and had a play date in the play area. Jordan and Katelyn played for a couple of hours there with Alyssa and Tiffany. They love his play area.

After lunch with Alyssa and Tiffany, it was off to Sweet N Sassy for haircuts. The girls really needed it -- this is the third time ever both have gotten their hair cut.

Katelyn barely sat still for the hair cut but did seem to like getting her hair blowed dried afterwards.

Jordan really wanted these sunglasses from Sweet N Sassy. I bought them because I could tell how much she liked them. Jordan is my girly-girl and these glasses were perfect for her - pink and sparkly. She loves them.

I can't buy my Jordan something without being equal to my Katelyn so here is Katelyn with her new sunglasses. She loved hers as well. Anything with sparkles is a good thing.

After all day on Saturday doing things with and for my girls, we began Sunday the same way. We had a birthday party to attend at Pump It Up. I love this picture because I enjoy seeing Jordan happy and having fun with friends.

Both my girls going down the big slide at Pump It Up. Katelyn is fearless and had so much fun. I think I'm going to have Katelyn's birthday party this year at Pump It Up.

They loved the whistles at the party.

Sunday night dinner... Jordan is soaking her elbow in soy sauce...yes, soy sauce!

My poor girl burned her elbow when we were making pancakes Sunday morning. It was so sad. She wanted to flip the pancakes and I'm so fearful of her being next to the pan. I had her on a chair and I would support her arm in order to flip the pancakes.

I kept saying over and over to be careful and the pan was hot. Well, CHH was making bacon at the stove and said something to us. We both looked at him. When I looked back at Jordan and the griddle, I could see this look on her face. Tears filled her eyes and started rolling down her cheeks. She didn't say a word. I instantly asked if she burnt herself and she then started crying really hard. My poor sweet girl -- I knew it hurt. Apparently when we both looked at CHH, she turned and her elbow hit the frying pan.

Grandpa arrived soon thereafter for breakfast and told us how to care for her burn. She was very upset.

Later when we were at Pump It Up, I told Dr. Stephen (Alyssa and Tiffany's Dad) what had happened. He told me to soak the burn the next few days in soy sauce. He said the salt would dry up the blister and then after that to put neosporin on it every day. We started soaking her elbow Sunday afternoon!

This is Jordan's 2 year old portrait -- like the one we got for Katelyn recently.
