Mish Mash of Activities - August 27th to 31st

Our friends threw CHH and I a joint birthday party since our birthdays are one week apart.


Katelyn got into the action by helping her Daddy and I blow out the candles. Jordan was no where to be found -- off playing with friends.


Later on that night when we were getting ready to leave the birthday party, we found our girls with their friends. One of the girls had taught Jordan how to make a half top with her shirt. Lovely :)


The next day, Katelyn attended a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese for one of her former Creme classmates. She was so excited to see her friends.

Morgan, Kate, and Connor were there too.


My Dad had his hip replaced on August 11th and after getting out from the hospital was homebound for six weeks. Every day or night, the girls and I would go over to his house to take him something to eat and help him out. Aunt Jill would go a couple of the days and sometimes would meet up with us there. This was one of those nights and Jordan had a great time sitting and talking with her Aunt Jill.


Aunt Jill and Jordan


Aunt Jill at 21 weeks with Cousin!


21 weeks - yeah! So cute.


Jordan is always pulling up Jill's shirt and talking to the baby.


Jordan already loves her baby cousin. I swear this baby is going to know Jordan when he/she is born. She really does talk to him/her and is always rubbing on Jill.

Katelyn and her dog, Panda. Katelyn absolutely adores this dog!

After school, one of Jordan's classmates had a roller skating birthday party. Jordan had a blast at the party and loves to roller skate. She was quite good at it.

Purple Cow - PreK Class Get Together - August 25th

Katelyn's PreK class of 12 girls went to Purple Cow for lunch on their second day of school. It was a class meet-n-greet to get to know the other girls in their immediate class. Katelyn is sitting with one of her classmates.

Katelyn always enjoys coloring the cow placemat at Purple Cow.

One of the girls in Katelyn's class later had a birthday party at a cooking company close to Purple Cow. Katelyn loved her chef's hat she made at the party.

CHH and I took her to Potbellies for lunch when her first day of school was over. We wanted to have a little celebration lunch for her. She loved it. She got a chocolate shake with a little cookie on the straw; she thought this was the neatest thing ever. She has a big sweet tooth :)

Jordan's First Day of First Grade - August 22, 2011!!!

My big first grader ready to go to her first day of school and her baby sister.


My first grade sweetheart!


Sisters on Jordan's first day of First Grade.




The parents got to attend the first day and hear about First Grade and hear from your daughter's teacher. I was sitting in Jordan's class room when they brought the girls back in. I was so excited to see her and hear about her first day.


Jordan in her classroom with her classmates. There are 16 girls in her class, 48 1st graders total.




Jordan and her friend started playing this hand-slapping game and singing this chant:



I went to a Chinese restaurant
To buy a loaf of bread.
They asked me what my name was,
And this is what I said:
My name is E.I., E.I. Nickelye, Nickelye
Pom pom poodle, willy willy whiskers.


It was the cutest thing watching them and to see the other girls watching and listening in.





Mommy and Jordan at Jordan's First Day of First Grade!! I'm so glad I got to be there on her first day.
