The Hawaiian Chair

I saw this on my friend Emily's blog and was laughing just like her!!! I think Ellen is hilarious! Wouldn't the kids get a kick out of these at the dinner table!

Birthday Giggles

Jordan's mom sent this to us and I thought it was so cute and thought that most of the cousins on here would love to see it! This is Jordan's sister Leah's 4th Birthday!

Jordan's Little BIG adventure

So Jordan has a friend from school that flies planes and needed to put some flying hours on a plane his company just bought so he offered to take Jordan and some guys from school on a little adventure. They flew around the state of WA and next to Mount Rainer before landing in a small town out in the middle of nowhere by the Canadian border to shoot their guns! Then they loaded up and flew home!

Belated Christmas Highlights!

Christmas Morning waiting at the top of the stairs to come down.. Jordan hates this tradition. Dottie was still asleep.

Emma taking her first peek around the corner to see what Santa had brought her!

playing with their new kitchen set.

All the grandkids on my parents side from oldest to youngest!

Finally a good smile out of Dottie just a little too late!

I finally have a wedding ring again!

We finally got my wedding ring fixed! It was in two pieces and now it is back to her old self again! During Christmas we finally took it in to see if it could even be saved and they said yes! I have to say It looks better than it ever did and it's all polished up!

Neighborhood Association

Shortly before Christmas Jordan and I were asked if either one of us would like to be on the board for our Neighborhood Association. Of course right of the bat Jordy says(with a smirk on his face).. "oh Megan would love to.. I would, but I am busy with work and school"
So I am now the Vice President of our Neighborhood Association! It's not really all that glamorous we meet once month down at the Italian place in town and have drinks (diet pepsi's all around)!
Basically so far I am now in charge of the quarterly newsletter and I get to pick the date for the annual garage sale! I know all of you are envious! I am just happy to have something to get me out of the house once a month by myself!
