My Little Gymnasts

Oh Happy Day!

Skylar just learned this song and she sings it all the time. She loves to sing and dance. I think it's so cute!

Toddler Bed

Last night we took down all of Skylar's poodle decorations and crib and put up princess decorations, border, and a new princess toddler bed. She was so excited to see her new bed. Although it took 2 1/2 hours to get her to fall asleep in it and I actually had to lay in the bed with her. It's a very small bed by the way!! Hopefully tonight will be better. What happened to my little baby girl? She's growing up so fast. Oh, and we found out Friday we are definitely having a girl. Yea!

Telling Grandpa thanks for his help

It's a Girl!!!.....Probably

We had our ultrasound yesterday and the nurse said she is 90% sure it's a girl!! The cord kept getting in the way so we go back Monday just to make sure, but for now we are assuming it's a girl. Her name will be Maci Jayde. Here are some recent pics of the big borther and sister in action.
Skylar will be such a good sister. She loves taking care of her babies!
Hugs :)

Silly sunglass faces

The Next American Idol?

The kids have learned a new song....well 2 words of it anyway. Apple, banana. They sing it in the car, in bed, at the dinner table, in the doctor's office. Tonight, Skylar learned that she can say "apple" really quite and then "banana" really loud. She was so proud of herself and performed her trick over and over and over and over....I decided to finally tape it.

Play Date

We had a play date with my friend Camisha and her daughter Emmah on Sunday. Emmah is about 6 weeks younger than Skylar. We went to the park where all three kids decided they would play alone instead of with eachother....Some date! :) Oh well, me and Camisha got to play and that's all that really mattered right?

Here is Emmah, very annoyed that I keep trying to take her picture.
Jordan was a little too dressed up for the park, but he still had fun talking to all the strangers. He needs to learn some boundaries!

Skylar and Emmah both refused to look at the camera at the same time and definitely were not going to smile for me. Talk about two little stubborn princesses!

Okay this is obviously not at the park, but it's Jordan's new favorite spot...the ironing basket.

Our Little Miracle Turns 2!

This time one year ago, we were in Vietnam looking for a flight home. We actually held our little boy for the first time on January 6, 2009. Anyone who followed this 3 year adoption and all the twists and turns along the way know that he is nothing short of a miracle! He truly is. He was born early weighing 3 pounds. His twin did not survive and hospital records say Jordan was blue and had shallow breathing when he was dropped off there by a family member. He is a survivor. We had such a difficult time getting him home and it actually almost didn't happen due to government issues. I can't believe he has been here a whole year. He went from barely being able to roll over at a year old, not opening his mouth for food, not allowing anyone to hold his hand, and being so sick that he was on twice daily breathing treatments to walking, running, doing gymnastics, feeding himself, eating ALL THE TIME, holding hands with no problems, talking, and being off of all his breathing medications and inhalers. He's such a strong little boy and we are so blessed to have him!
To celebrate his birthday on the 9th, we went to Disneyland on the 8th, Legoland on the 9th, and had family over for pizza and cake on the 10th.
Jordan and Skylar loved wearing the 3D glasses at Disneyland.
Say Cheese!

Pretending to drive the cars at Legoland

The kids played with Bob the Builder forever!

Look who woke up on the right side of the bed!

It's my party and I'll strip if I want to.

He tried eating his cake with his fork, but it took too long.

Playing with his new basketball hoop from Mommy and Daddy

I love this video. We rolled the windows down on the way to Legoland and the kids had so much fun playing in the wind!
