Jordyn's birthday!!

So...it's taken me awhile to put all the awesome pics of Jordyn's birthday because there are just so many I wanted to put on! It takes a long time to do but I finally got it done!! So here was her day in plethora of pictures......

Now isn't this the cutest??? We started the day taking Jordyn bowling with Grandma and Papa. She loves bowling!! And I think she was pretty happy.

Bowling shoes!! Two sizes too big but she wanted them! The guy gave us all the shoes rentals for free too!! It was very much appreciated and Jordyn thought she was big stuff.

Jordyn and Makenna spent a lot of time just watching for the balls to come back up. And of course they had to hold their hand over the air thing like they are pros or something.

Big girl getting her own ball.

Shoving it down the ramp.

Enjoying herself.

Makenna loves bowling as well. Cute shot.

Watching to see how many she gets.

Cute stuff.

Aiden loved being held by everyone and hanging out.

Uh oh.....(that needs to be a Dr. Pepper though:)

The final scores. I actually won the first game!! Yay me!! I never beat Trav!! He of course killed the next game but I don't care....I won the first game!! :) Jordyn did awesome!! She beat Papa:)

We then went to McDonalds to get a happy meal for our birthday girl and both Jordyn and Papa fell asleep over at Grandma's house. She just snuggled in and before we knew it, they were both snoozing. So cute!!

We went home to relax for a bit and then it was off to the park with Grandma and Grandpa. Some friends recommended this cool park that we've never been too and it was really cool. It's called the butterfly park and it has butterflies as the covers for shade and has cool slides, swings and water things. The girls had a great time. Of course Aiden just chilled like he always does:)

Makenna loves the water...she is a total fish.

Jordyn takes a little bit longer to warm up to things.

But she got into it as well and had a blast.

Down the slides they go.

Then it was off to the swings.

Kenna and Grandpa

Aiden wasn't so sure:)

I seriously love his expressions!!

After lots of play, it was back to our house for pizza, cake and presents. I have no idea why this is blurry but her balloons were Princess Frog, Ariel and #3 balloons.

Ready for cake.

Happy Birthday to Jordyn.

Blowing out the candles.

Gotta love that face:)

Opening her presents. She got new jammies, shoes and a brand new bike (will show that pic on another post:)

And Grandma and Grandpa got her this pinkalicious dress and a cool turn toy thing.

Then the next day, we celebrated with my whole family at Grandma and Papa's house. And she got another cake!! A girl can never have too much cake;)

Blowing out her candles.

She got a Tiana dress and some cute clothes!!

Oh man....that darn Pepsi again:) He is grabbing at everything. He wants to eat everything we are eating!!

It was a great weekend and Jordyn had a blast!! Happy Birthday baby!! We love you so much!!

Jordyn is 3!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

My sweet J is three today! I really can't believe that three years have come and gone since I took this picture! She was born just over two weeks early but was my biggest baby at just over 8 pounds. She had the yummiest cheeks and out of all my kids, she was born with the darkest hair. And she had more of it than the other two:) It was so neat because you could already see it curly right from the start. Miss J also made us worry the most. The day after she was born, the nurse found that she was breathing way too fast. The doc ordered tests and when he came to check on her, she was still breathing way too fast. He ordered even more tests which included blood taken from her arm. If you have never had to deal with that, you are lucky! It was absolutely horrible. I had to walk down the hall because she was screaming so much. Later that night, her daddy gave her a blessing that he cried through which in turn made me ball like a baby. But it was so sweet and tender and obviously all is fine with her now. It truly made for a stressful postpartum couple of days for us though. I don't know how parents do it when their brand new babies have to go into the NICU!
After her stressful start, Jordyn has been such a joy to have in our family! That first year went by fast and lots of family came to celebrate (even Grandma Great).

She turned into a little firecracker once she turned two. I love this picture because it looks just like Jordyn does now....just smaller.

Jordyn has the sweetest, funnest personality. She loves her sister and does everything that Makenna does. And I mean everything!! They love to play dress up together and run around outside. And the cutest thing that Jordyn loves to do is play with her figurines or cars. She will play for the longest time moving them back and forth along the couches. Or up and down the stairs in her little house. Or back and forth on the bed when she is supposed to be going to sleep. I really need to get a video of her doing it because it is so adorable to watch her and see her little imagination going. I watched her play in her room the other day and she was making them go up and down the books on her shelf that were laying flat. I asked her what they were doing and she said they were going up stairs....duh! She truly is the cutest!!

I love this picture of her because it really shows her personality:)

And I just had to add this picture of her because it's so cute. She will go around in just her underwear (or pull up if it's just after a nap) and not care. And of course this girl doesn't wear shoes. She will take them off the second we get in the car and it's hard to keep them on her even if we are outside or out somewhere!

I just love, love, love this little girl. I'm so glad she picked me to be her mommy. We love her so very much. Happy Birthday sweet J!!
