Fatherhood 101!

* What do you do when mom is in the shower and Jordan decides she is hungry?

You give her the next best thing!

Jordan loves her daddy. We took her fishing for her first trip out. Well we stayed on the shore while dad fished. But she loved being outside.

She's HERE!

Sorry it has taken me so long to blog...July 2nd we brought Jordan Renee into the world. It was such an awesome and overwhelming day. James and I went into the Birthing Center at 8:oo. I was given my first dose of antibiotics for group strep B. Then we went to breakfast. I had been having contractions for 2 days but nothing was progressing. We came back and got the 2nd dose of antibiotics and at 12:30 my doctor stoped by and broke my water. My contractions got a lot harder and more consistant. At 3:10 I was dialated to a 7 and started to wonder what I was thinking trying to do this with out any meds. But 4 short minutes later I was at a 10. My doctor had to run over its a good thing her office is only across the parking lot! At 3:34 Jordan Renee was here and both James and I were completly overwhelmed. She is a absolutly perfect and such a joy to have in out lives. It was so great to have both of our families there shortly after she was born. We are so Blessed!

Happy Fathers DAY!

Happy Fathers Day dad. Thanks for being such a great dad, who never missed anything that we were involved in. Thank you for always suporting my in whatever I decided to do! We love you LOTS!

Happy Fathers day to my Father in Law! I really lucked out on in laws. Lonnie is such a great guy and it is so nice to feel like you are instantly just part of his family. He would give you the the shirt off his back and never think twice about it. Thanks for all you do. WE love you!

And Happy Fathers Day James! Only 12 more days to go and you'll be an official DAD! Thank you for all that you do...including listen to me whine the last few weeks! You will be a great dad and I can't wait to see you in action, with our little girl. Love YOU!

BABY Countdown.....

I had a 2nd baby shower this weekend with friends and family from Fruitland. Again we got some great stuff. I finally feel like we are ready to get her here...well in 4 weeks! We had great food and it was fun to have everyone together.

James' 4 day weekend!

James had four days off over memorial day weekend, he played the entire weekend. Friday night him and Tommy took Thomas and his 2 friends to WWE RAW! James isn't a huge fan of wrestling but Tommy didn't want to go alone with the kids so James went too. They all loved it.

They guys also went fishing friday morning and saturday. They caught 815 crappie! In two days! They learned a great lesson however...if you catch 815 fish...you have to CLEAN 815 fish! They were cleaning and cutting fish for almost 4 hours on saturday night. So we are planning a big fish fry later this summer. EVERYONE we know is invited! He also managed to take a half of day to golf over the weekend!

Baby Shower

Sorry it took me almost a week to post this...I've been too busy. Ivie, Lindsey, and McKinzie threw me a baby show last weekend when all of my family was in town. It was so nice to have everyone here. I got a lot of great stuff for our little girl.

I'll post some pictures of the adorable cradle Lindsey made. Ivie made the super cute Diaper cake. Everything turned out so great. Thanks everyone. I can't wait for her to get here!
