Dance recital 2015!
Lets talk about this girl.
So where are we today. Lets catch up. Jordyn is 5 1/2 years old. Like we already know, she will be 6 in July. Jordyn is still dancing once a week and LOVES IT - i truly think she has a future in dance, just like her mama :) She is also now, since joining Kindergarten, in cheerleading once a week. It is such a cute program and the school is really involving them in events, etc. I have tons of cute pictures and videos I will share.
So yea...Kindergarten - can you believe it? She is doing just as expected. Amazing, with a touch of getting in trouble for talking to much. I mean listen, she's my kid...how can i get mad at her for that? LOL. She has the BEST kindergarten teacher that there is and I get to be Room Mom!!! What that means is I spend a ton of fun time in her classroom, throwing parties and I get to join in on all of the field trips! I love it :)
Since were playing a little bit of catch up - i thought it would be fun to do my yearly questionnaire with her. So lets get to that!
Who is your best friend? Michaela
Whats your favorite food? Grilled cheese at Hawks Cay

My little school girl.......
As we knew she would, Jordyn is, pardon my french, kicking ass in school! In the beginning we had a tad of a ruff patch, a few bad days here and there, but she is 110% on the up and up in both her attitude and her learning. It's amazing what a few months of Pre-K can teach a kid. I have to say though, I am so thankful this was her first year. I see a big difference in kids who have stayed home and kids who went to school right away. There are pros and cons about both, but for us, this worked, and I couldn't be happier.
Jordyn has made a ton of friends ( shocker ). One little girl especially who just so happens to live 10 houses down from us in our neighborhood! JACKPOT!
Here are a few pictures and events that have happened so far in school......

Jordyn's 1st day of school the teacher sent me this picture.
Jordyn had to tell them her favorite thing about her parents. { Note : this was before they were used to her being JORDYN not Jordan haha }
Fall Festival at school
My favorite part about doing this blog is being able to look back on it. Sometimes I love to just go back, and read what I did that weekend...or what the kids were doing at a certain stage. This is one section I have been slacking on....So today is April 4th, 2013 and I want to tell a little bit about what Jordyn has been up to and what her favorites are at the moment.
Her newest thing right now is this food stage she is going through. All of a sudden she has decided she does not like chicken nuggets anymore. I NEVER thought that day would come...but I know its just a phase. She is obsessed with broccoli and edamame and will eat cheeseburgers for every single meal. Breakfast is always the easiest meal of the day...she loves anything from eggs, waffles, cereal, oatmeal..she will eat it all. Shes not really much into TV...but when she is...she loves Sohpia the first, mickey still, doc mcstuffins...basically all of the same stuff. Shes really into playing with dolls, barbies and LOVES playing pretend. Sometimes we just hear her talking to her dolls and telling them stories. I dont know who said there was such thing as terrible 2's...We didnt get much of those, but these tantrums at 3 are legit! They dont come often but when they do...they are serious! She loves laying on the floor and kicking her legs up in the air :) Oh the joys! She is pretty good about snapping out of them quick...thank god! She is way too smart for her own good...some of the things she talks about Todd and I just stand there with our jaws on the floor. She way she counts, reads, speaks....I have a little smarty pants on my hands. We just started our last semester of Rivertots and she will have a cute little graduation in May. She loves swimming, blowing bubbles, planting a garden with daddy, dressing herself, making crafts, talking on the phone and snacking! Love my crazy girl and I cant believe she is going to be FOUR in July!
Jordyn and her BFF Jolee. Can they be any cuter?
Jordyn's video about Santa - Looks like I better start saving someone has expensive taste!
Jordyn's first real slow dance! :)
J's first trip to the DENTIST! She was such an angel - and as we left said "I cant wait until next time!"...Is she really my child?!
HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY JORDYN LYNN!!!!
Where can I even start? Happiest Birthday baby girl. I can't believe you are 3 YEARS OLD already!! It feels like yesterday, literally, that daddy and i were having our last date night out before your arrival and now Im relaxing after your 3rd birthday party is over. You have grown up so much in the past few months its so unbelieveable. The things that come out of your mouth are just hilarious and I gotta say - you are quite the smart little girl for being only 3 - mommy and daddy might be in trouble - I forsee many years of college and grad school ahead - haha! You are the greatest big sister to Kole - I couldnt ask for a better daily helper! I cant remember the last time I went and got a diaper for him - thats your favorite thing to do! You arent too much into tv anymore - but when you are, its all about Super Why!!! I hope you had a blast at the LIVE show and I cant wait for you to talk about that for years to come!!!! Favorite things right now : coloring, painting, swimming, going potty on the potty!!!!!, popsicles, grandmas house, mamas house and the doggies, playdates...lots of them, pizza, rasberries, and the list could go on! We love you Jordyn - thanks for always keeping us on our toes one way or another :)

The day you became the best big sister ever!
Dear : Our first born :)
As much as we are excited to bring your little brother into this world, we are that much excited to make you a big sister. You have such a heart of gold and are beyond loving, that we just can imagine the amount of love you will show Kole. You may tell everybody "My baby" Or "He's Mine" but that comes with the fun, right? :)
Daddy and I love you so much - more than you will ever know. We have had an amazing 28 months of just us 3. Even though you wont remember beyond pictures and videos - you have been one VERY lucky and spoiled little girl and I promise, that wont ever change. You will always be our little girl - and mean the world to us. We are adding to our family and can't wait for you to enjoy it as much as we are! I cant wait for the day you thank me for giving you a best friend!

Hey Baby J - Remember that one time you painted yourself and Kole's carpet with RED nail polish? Mommy does!
PS....Those tears. Are because Mommy was crying and you felt TERRIBLE! Luckily, you have the best dad in the world - who came home from work, fixed Kole's carpet right up - and gave you a million hugs because you were sad. Although, we both wanted to give you a life sentence in time out with a million dollar bond! ;)
Jordyn loves the cold weather!
Jordyn Lynn - 27 months and blowing our minds every single day....
I never like to brag about she does this or she does that - except for maybe the BIG milestones - like when she crawled - walked - and talked. But lately, this kid is just cracking us up - I have to tell you ( our closest friends and family ) some of the things she has been up to. Most of you have experienced some of this "hystericalness" - but for our out of town family - here goes.
First of all - for the past 2 weeks, we have seen a TON of pee peeing on the potty. Its by far, the most exciting thing I have experienced yet. When she walked, I was elated, when she talked, I cried, and when she crawled, I smiled so big my face hurt. Now that she is pee peeing - I do all those and more. I dont know what it is - but its just so so exciting!!!! We sure do go through alot of MnM' and dum dum lolipops though!
Some of Jordyn favorite sayings right now : If you ask her where something is, she puts her finger on her chin and says "Hmmmm....Lemme go see". If you ask her if shes hungry, and she isnt she replies "Not yet - thanks though". She has an EXACT order for her best friends and they never change. Us "Jordyn, who are your best friends?" Jordyn " 1- Daddy, 2- Mommy, 3- Jackson, 4- Kole, and 5- is always a toss up - she usually throws in a mama, grandma, papa, or blair somewhere in there! She gets in the car by herself and screams "BUCKLE UP" and as soon as she wakes up in the morning she comes into our room, says "Good Morning - Chocolate Milk now". She is counting to 22 now, in spanish still from 1-10 and can point out any single letter of the Alphabet and tell you what it is. She is obsessed with shapes and is now drawing a circle and a triangle!
I just cant believe how fast she is growing. One word here and there has turned into long sentences, and crying to try to figure out what is wrong with her is now turned into "Mommy, tummy hurts bad".
Her favorite shows right now are Yo Gabba Gabba and Bubble Guppies, but asks for Dora and Mickey on a daily basis still and her favorite food is still chicken nuggets and oranges.
We love you our little outgoing - hyper - smartypants!! You are going to be the best big sister ever!!!
