She did it!!

Yeah!! Jordan got her drivers license!!! She was nervous because she got the same guy that did not pass her before, but she did great and only missed a couple of little things. We are so proud of her. I have to admit I am a little scared to have her out on the open road all alone, but on the other hand I do need some milk..........

Gentlemen behavior & Fun Times!

Isabel came home from school and said the nicest thing happen to her. I was, of course, interested by this statement. She said that she came back from reading group and the class was doing group activities, the teacher told her which group she was in and the boy, who Izzy thinks is very handsome, says oh Isabel take my chair I will get another one. She was so touch by this gentlemanly action that she could not stop talking about it. I told her that was a very nice thing to do. But now I am a little concern that this boy is making a move to have Isabel be his special friend that is a girl. Yikes!!! Third grade, I am so not ready for her to be making the boy transition yet.

Other news, Jordan got the job!!!!!!!!!!! She is now a member of the promotional team with the Modesto Nuts. She will be working before and during games with the mascot, Wally the Walnut, and at community events when the team is out of town. If you want to come to a game and see her in action let me know. ;)

Madison turned in her high school ballet today. I can not believe she is starting high school next year. Double Yikes!! I am getting old. ;( She is going to be in the Forensic Program. It is a four year program that has additional science and preps for forensic college programs there last year. Maybe she will be Dr. H, (like the coroner on TV, Dr. G. in case you don't watch that show) She is very excited. And has straight A's this quarter. Yeah Maddy!

Utah State

Jordan has deceided to go to Utah State University. She is all signed up for orientation and received her housing packet, with an Aggie chapstick!!

Go Aggies!!

Spring Time

I love Spring. This weekend there was no rain!! It was nice to get outside and get our yard in shape. The early garden is in and the summer veggies are starting to sprout. Nathan has been working hard to get the back yard looking lovely. I think it helps him with stress to dig up the dirt and mow the lawns and fuss over the weed/grass ratio. I am just grateful for the results. I will clean the inside of the house all year long to not have to mow. I only enjoy the fluff of gardening planting, watering, pulling easy weeds, harvesting, etc...

After a busy day of yard work Nathan BBQ some chicken, to was so yummy.

Jordan had her first paying job interview yesterday with the Modesto Nuts. She is excited of the opportunity to have a fun summer job. If she gets the job she gets a few free tickets, so Nathan is totally excited. Baseball for free. Isabel thinks she will get free cotton candy or an slushy so she is excited, Maddy could care less because she doesn't like baseball. As for me, I have happy that she has so many wonderful opportunities to learn and grow, but I am still wishing for the days when she would play dress up and the farthest she would go was to stay at Grandma's for the night. There were no boyfriends, no college applications, no jobs, no driving, just lots of Barbie's and make-up, there has always been make-up where Jordan is concerned! Those days are stored away in my memory where all three of our beauties will always be 4, where everything is pink, sparkly and beautiful.

Back to school photo's.

Jordan's Senior year, Maddy's 8th grade year, and Isabel is in 3rd grade.

Maddy is doing great. She is walking with her brace. The swelling has come way down. There is still some fluid on her knee, but the doctor said that will absorb in time. She is feeling a little irritated with the whole thing though. She is wanting to move faster, and has got a lot of unused energy that is frustrating for her. But she has learned to let people help her, which is a blessing for her.

Jordan "1st" game

Jordan had her "1st" game on Friday night. It was actually her second, but Nathan and I missed her first one due to Maddy's ER visit. She did great and the half time show was perfect, I can't say the same for the football game. Partly, because I was reading when Jordan wasn't cheering and the other part was the scoreboard. 56-0. Ouch! Oh, well there is always next week, right??
