Kyley loves to help...

Kyley gave Elijah a bath tonight- she had so much fun!!!

When daddy changes a diaper...

This is what happens when I leave it to a male in our house to change the diaper....

School

So, as of lately, Kyley has been obsessed with going to school. In the last few weeks she's learned to copy her name and has no started to write her name on her own from memory...
She recognizes the letters in her name and can call them by name.

She can also write and recognize a, b, c, s, and m

yay for my big girl!

Family photo shoot

Today we had a random photo shoot... here are the results... :

Sweet Potatoes :)

Elijah had his first sweet potatoes today!  He's been showing a lot of interest in food lately- and after him trying to steal my pork chop bone last week I decided we'd go ahead and try some out.... and this is the result:

Birthday Celebrations Galore :)

So with two birthdays in the family this week, we've been pretty busy...

Tuesday we celebrated my 26th birthday! It was actually really nice- I was expecting it to be any ordinary day but Derek suprised me and took off early and he got to go to dance class with us (Kyley was THRILLED), mom cooked me dinner and they took us out for donuts afterwards and not to mention that Sunday Terri took us to eat and shopping for my birthday as well.  Overall, I had a great birthday!!!

Then, on Thursday, we got to celebrate again! Thursday was Terri's birthday and we all got together and went to Shogun and then back to their house to hang out afterwards.  Kyley and Elijah made her a cute card with their handprints on it and Kyley was so proud to write her own name in the card! She's been writing her name by herself for a little over a week now and she is LOVING that she can do it all by herself!

Another big suprise for yesterday was that Noel got to come to dinner and hang out with us! We haven't seen her in about 5 months so it was great to get to see her!

So without further hesitation, here are a TON of pics from the past week! I hope you enjoy!!!

From my birthday, there are pictures with paw paw and one of Kyley and grandma and a few of the kids, and then from grandma's birthday there are pictures of all of the Jordan clan (minus grandpa, he's doing his best to avoid my camera it seems)
