Joren's 3rd B-day party

Well, Joren isn't technically 3 until December 24th, but this year we decided to celebrate with our friends a little early.  She had a great day and as you can see, a fabulous butterfly cake, made by Summer Stone!


I was proud of my banner I made... I'm a dork, I know! =)


More of that cake!

Donny heading up game time with the kids.




Opening gifts became a group effort!
Don't know why, but I think she just looks so pretty here!  Despite the red eye...

Happy birthday big girl!

Jedi Jeven

Yes he is totally using the force!




Okay well I see that I have 2 people who have checked this so I may as well post something! =)  However, you have probably already seen these pictures on my facebook.  Oh well!  
So this is Jeven's latest obsession.  He really hasn't had too many, and this one is all thanks for his daddy.  There was absolutely no question as to what Jeven would be for Halloween this year.  After all, he is Jedi Jeven.  In fact, we were at a play date this morning and the little boy had Star Wars legos.  I said, "Oh wow, Noah likes Star Wars too Jeven!"  The mom said, "You like Star Wars Jeven?"  Jeven replied, " No, I LOVE Star Wars!"  So he got his costume in the mail today and has been living in it ever since.  Love him!

Jeven and his Bible



Okay okay, I know I haven't blogged in like, forever and I am far too behind to start playing catch up.  But this morning, something happened that I felt was blog-worthy and a good post to start blogging again..... for all my 2 or 3 readers! =)  Anyway, here goes...
So this morning, Donny and I were talking while I was still lying in bed, and we hear Jeven's door open.  So he comes out of his room holding his Bible in his hand.  He walks by or door and sees us both and just raises a hand and says "hi,"  and he keeps walking.  We look at each other like, what??  So we listen intently in our room as we hear the dining room table chair pull out and Jeven sit down.  That also happens to be the same chair Donny reads his Bible in in the morning.  So we sneak out so we can get a visual of him and he is seriously just sitting on the chair "reading" his Bible.  We watched him for quite a while just melting while he continued to just stare at his open Bible.  Donny finally said "I can't take it anymore" and he walked down the hall to see Jeven.  He said "What are you doing bud?"  Jeven said "I'm reading my Bible."  So I said, "Yeah, but really,why are you doing it?"  Jeven answered "Well, maybe 2 days ago, Daddy told me it is important to read my Bible every morning."  Donny left the house saying "That just made my day."   
I am just so excited to see where the Lord takes this kid.  I mean, he is so responsive to Donny's teaching about the Bible and is always so excited to learn about the Lord.  So anyway, I hope this brings a little smile to you all too!!  =)

Our trip to California


So here are some pictures from the fun part of our trip to California a couple weeks ago. The trip was mainly consumed with memorial services and such things, but the last day Daddy surprised Jeven with his first trip to Disneyland!! Joren stayed home with my folks so it was just me and the Jev on the airplane!


And onto Disneyland!!!


We went on Splash Mountain 4 times. By the end there was no line!



Jeven was such a stud. I wouldn't even put my hands up!





Daddy about to puke on the tea cups! Not really, but I would have definitely puked if I was on it!

Jordan







We have had quite a month! I will hopefully be updating the blog a lot in the next week or so, but for now, here are some pictures of my adorable nephew Jordan. We flew down to California last week for a funeral (I will talk more about it later) and Disneyland (I will talk more about this later too!) I just knew Evie would be wanting to see these first. So, my disclaimers are: the lighting was not great and he didn't sit still for more than a second so they aren't my best quality. BUT, when you have a cute subject somehow it doesn't matter much!

Joren is 2!!


I know it has been a VERY long time since I have posted and oh so much has happened in the past couple months, and I hope to catch all my 3 viewers up on everything real soon, but for now, I felt I owed it to Joren to at least recognize her birthday. So Joren turned the big 2 on Christmas Eve!
Big girl with her lip gloss!



Not sure what my face is about here...I look like it is about to explode or something!


I LOVE her!!
Happy birthday my sweet Joren!!
