Frisbee Golf Mania

Jeff tends to get interested in an activity and when he does he becomes pretty obsessed. It usually involves him spending a LOT of time and money on it which always annoys me greatly. Some examples in the past have been lowriders, RC cars, golf, dj music, golden tee and many more I'm forgetting. This time it's frisbee golf. It case you haven't heard of it, it's a game where you throw frisbees at a basket from far away for 18 holes like golf. Jeff has played off and on a little since he was a teen. I don't know what sparked his interest again but that seems to all he thinks about lately. He bought a new bag that holds at least 20 different frisbees (you have to have a putter and a driver etc I guess!) and paid $143 to join the official disc golf association. But hey it included the official rule book and a frisbee woohoo (sarcasm)! I can't say I was happy about that! What's worse is, a guy at work has become obsessed too so they play at lunch, after work and some days both. He checks wind speeds all the time and researches different courses. When they went out of town on business last week they even played in Texas a bunch. I guess he gets some excersise though. Jeff doesn't want to miss out on family time on the weekend so he's always asking me to go play as a family and I am not interested at all. One weekend he even tried to get me to take the kids an hour and a half away to some course in who knows where Oklahoma.....not happening! I did try it one nice sunny afternoon when we all went and it was no fun since I had to push Jorden in the stroller up and down grassy/rocky hills and across a creek. I didn't see the fun in throwing the frisbee either since I don't get it anywhere near the hole. He and Jensen went to play last weekend though so that was good since they got to spend one on one time and I got to get some work done at home. Jensen seems to really enjoy it. Sooo maybe when it gets too hot to play everyday this will end but then he might get obsessed with something else worse! Ok so that's my vent for the day about frisbee golf!

Lots of Firsts

Jorden is getting big so fast and he has had lots of firsts lately...... It's a whole new world for him now that he can sit up by himself. He loves to sit on the floor and play with toys and Jensen has started playing toys with him too which is super cute. We put the boppy pillow around him in case he falls over. Unlike Weebles, he does fall down :)


We started Jorden on solid foods and so far he's had rice cereal, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, and bananas. He hasn't had a negative or overly positive reaction to any of them, just kind of eats and goes on
Jorden can sit in a highchair now when we go out and he likes it except he has figured out that food is good so he gets mad if he doesn't get any. I bought him some things called rice rusks that are for his age and he munches on them. I love using our OU highchair/cart cover I had with Jensen, it really comes in handy

We went to eat wings and Jeff thought if was funny to give him a wing to pretend like he ate it
We are moving Jorden out of the infant carrier since he is over the length limit on it. Even though it's heavy, I'm not ready for him to be out since it's so convenient but I guess it's time. He really likes sitting in the stroller facing forward and if I stop he rocks back and forth like he's saying come on, lets go!

He found his feet and it's so cute when he grabs his toes

Food Face

I gave Jorden a sippy cup for the first time since he likes to grab our cups. He doesn't know how to use it yet but it won't be long

First time eating out in a highchair at Harry Bears

Ducks too?

A few weeks ago I came out my front door and I heard loud flapping and it sounded like a condor had been on my porch! In the field next to us there was a male and female duck walking around. Later that day, we found a nest in my flower bed right by the front door and it had two eggs in it. We thought that was really neat. The next day there were three, the next four and so on until finally there were seven eggs and the female duck was sitting on them. By then, she had gotten used to us walking by and now she just sits there while we look at her. I even pulled weeds in the flower bed and she didn't move. Wiki says ducks take about 28 days to hatch and it seems like it's been about that long so we hope that we get so see some baby ducklings soon. There isn't a pond very close by so when they do hatch we worry they will have a long walk. We are really excited though to see such an unusual thing!

Holy Snake EEEK!

Since there is a farm right behind us, I knew we would have critters. One evening I came home and Jeff was just about to let a snake go out back.....he found it in my KITCHEN!!! It was only about 12inches long and I'm not usually afraid of snakes but he thought of one slithering around in my house really creeps me out! We think it may have gotten in through the garage since we had been bringing stuff in and out. We took pictures and Jeff looked it up on line and it might be a rat snake but my snake expert friend said it looks like a python. My friend Crystal told me she is never coming to my house again because I didn't kill it boo! I'm trying to be better about shutting hte door now

Slithering in my kitchen ICK!

It looks really big up close in the bowl from this angle

By by snakey, don't come back now ya hear!

Major Spring Cleaning

It has been crazy busy around here lately and I'm still trying to catch up! Since it has been so warm, we have been playing outside a bunch. Jensen has a blast with the 3 boys that live across the street and 2 that live next door. We have also finally tackled the disasterous garage. When we moved 5 months ago, we literally unloaded the stuff to go in the garage and left it where it was. The problem has been storage since Jeff has so many tools and stuff. We have shopped around for shelving etc and finally decided we could build something better and cheaper. I was very skeptical at first because I know how Jones projects go....usually they take forever to get done and make a huge mess! Last Sat though Jeff went to get wood and the two of us built a storage shelf from scratch. It's 8ft long and 7 feet tall with tons of shelf space and it only took us about 4hrs. Jeff has been organizing and putting things away since then and it's looking very nice out there.

Jamie and I decided to have a garage sale and I had a bunch of stuff ready to go. We have had our storage unit in Edmond for 2yrs now so I wanted to get as much stuff out of there as possible since we have been paying $86 a month. If it's been there that long we don't need it so we brought home two truckloads full of stuff and most of it went to the garage sale. Only about 1/4 of the stuff is left in storage so that's good. Jamie and I set things up on Tues and Wed then had the sale Thurs, Fri, Sat WHEW!! It was hard work and exhausting. It took up all of my days last week so now I'm trying to get back to normal. We made almost $300 and got rid of a bunch of stuff. It's made me want to purge even more though so I've started a new pile. I don't plan on having another garage sale anytime soon though so that stuff will have to go to charity.

Easter 2010

We got to take Jensen and Jorden to a couple egg hunts this year. One was in the park in Moore and the other at Bass Pro. The one at Bass Pro was neat because they had free pictures with the Easter Bunny and a hunt inside the store where the kids actually had to find the eggs instead of just pick them up in a field. I have a really cute picture of the boys with the bunny but I can't figure out how get our scanner to work grrr. The Easter Bunny came to our house and brought lots of goodies and giant eggs!! Jensen was surpised to see giant Easter eggs and a basket of toys and candy. Jorden was less impressed but like holding the regular sized eggs.

Jeff and I finished the garage storage shelf then we went to Mimi's house (my mom) for lunch and she made a delicious ham and lots of yummy sides. It was a beautiful day so we sat out on her patio and Jensen and Mimi ate on his picnic table under the fort. Then Mimi and Carrie hid eggs for Jensen to hunt. He was surpised to see a giant blue one in the birdfeeder.

Lunch with Mimi- she has an awesome fort in her backyard for the boys
She doesn't spoil them or anything!!

After lunch, Jeff and I drove to Edmond to our storage unit and brought home 2 truckloads full of stuff. Then we went to his parent's house for a yummy dinner with them. Jensen got a basket there and at my mom's so he had plenty of candy to share with Mommy and Daddy! For me it was the perfect kind of day.....food and family plus getting a lot done!!

A few days before Easter we colored eggs and Jensen really enjoyed it. He liked eating them too since he loves boiled eggs for breakfast

We've been Smurfed!

Jensen stuck his hand in the dye and it took a couple of days to fully come off!

My sister Carrie came over to help and she took this good picture of me and the boys

Jorden had fun watching brother from his highchair

Jorden 5 months

Our little man Jorden is starting to do so many things at once! We are all really enjoying him espcecially since he's so happy and always smiling. A few weeks ago he started rolling over every time you lay him down, he found his feet and he started sitting up all in the same few days. He's still wobbly but on a soft surface he can sit really well. Jorden is also really becoming interested in reaching and touching different things. It's fun to see him hold something and investigate it. He had his first trip to the zoo which was fun especially since they just opened a new children's zoo. It was interesting going with a baby and we didn't see many animals since most of the time was spent either changing or feeding him. We have a zoo pass though so we can go anytime.

I just love seeing him grab his feet, it's just precious

Mr Personality

We started putting him in his highchair to play while we eat. We are going to start solid food this week so that will be exciting.
