K K Ka Karma

Several years ago, close to twenty years ago. My sister got this lovely mermaid doll for Christmas. She loved the doll and every time you would squeeze it, it would sing..ah ah ahhhh! It was a beautiful sound for a five year old. But for my brother and I it was total annoyance. It was so loud and after hearing it sing all day and night for several days. We decided something needed to be done, so we carefully removed the battery. For a couple hours we had peace and quiet again. Although it didn't take long for Lindsey to figure it out and with the help of my parents the battery was replaced. So again we heard the irritating ahh ahhh ahhhh. After several weeks of this, Ryan and I decided to end the sound once and for all. With a pair of cheap scissors we took the mermaid and clipped the wires and told Lindsey that the doll was broken. Well this did not go over well.. she cried and cried and for years we never told her that we were responsible for the loss. She has never forgiven us even 20 years later. Every year at Christmas time we are reminded of how cruel we were. This year we were reminded again of how horrible we were to our sister and our "little girls" were given matching gifts from Aunt Lindsey....

The dreaded doll was Jordan and Kambree's to take home. After bidding for months on Ebay and paying far to much, Lindsey was able to find three of the magic mermaid dolls one for Jordan, one for Kambree and one for her! She knew that there was no way we would deny our girls of the doll. Jordan loves the mermaid and so does Kambree. I guess you have to be careful, karma comes around and bites you hard!

okay okay...I am back to blogging!

Wow, life is always so busy it seems like I am not taking the time to Blog as much. But I know that it is important for Jordan's journal to be updated.

We enjoyed having all of my family in town for the weekend. Dallin was playing in the State Basketball tournament. (great Job Mackay!) Dustin and Lindsey and boys were able to come out and stay with us. Dustin installed new carpet in our bedroom, it is so nice! (thank you so much Dustin) We took all the kids to the McDonalds play land in Caldwell, we have a favorite one that we always go to, the kids love to play on it. Kambree even managed to put some kid in time-out for "2 minutes", I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Jordan got another tooth and is crawling all over the place. She has been able to get around for a couple of months now so I wondered if she would ever actually crawl. But she has it figured out now! Time to move the DVD's and everything else that she has managed to pull out daily. I started coaching club volleyball, Jordan comes to practice with me she loves to ride in the ball cart and she hands the girls balls when they come over to her. I have yet to get a picture of this but I need to because it is so funny.

Jordan is growing up so fast, it is hard to believe that she is already 8 months old. She likes to give high five and clap her hands. She is very busy so I am sure we have our hands full will her now that she is moving.

Along with new carpet we put in a fence around our yard. We love having a private back yard and our dogs love it. (even though they are digging holes in our yard now!) We are excited for spring, I love spring I have some tulips popping up and I am always excited for my cherry tree to bloom, if we ever move, I am going to have to find a way to take the tree with us! I love this picture of Braxten and Jordie in the tub. She loves the boys so much, Braxten couldn't get away from her. She would slide right up to him so that she was touching him the whole time!
