Whoa...so much going on at our house

I do not even know where to begin so I will just get to the point...our life has been crazy lately! After Cooper turned 2...the craziness continued. Jeff was reallocated at Lilly so that means he was told he did not have a job and needed to find one...OK?? So, he began looking both here in Indy and other places. He interviewed and he actually came out "a winner"...back to this in a moment. In the meantime, I ran a half marathon, there was mother's day...my 1st with our sweet Collier...have I told you how much I love being the mommy of my 3 precious children...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! Then we went to Birmingham to have Collier's infant baptism at Oak Mountain Presbyterian...the same church where both Campbell and Cooper were baptized. That was a long, quick trip. We got to Birmingham on a Friday afternoon and left Sunday after church. It was great though! We saw some great friends and hung out with family...wish we could have seen more of our friends! Back to "the winner"...Jeff was promoted to a district sales manager. It is a great opportunity for him and our family. So, we will be loading up the fam and moving to...Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Did I tell you how HOT it is there...highs in the low 100's for the next 2 weeks...so I guess we will be inside in the summer there and outside in the winter...exactly opposite of here... But, all of the Jordans are excited and ready to get our cowboy boots on... Next, we have Campbell's birthday party...she is turning 4 on June 16th. I cannot believe that...where has the time gone?...where is my baby girl? Ok, this was the totally abbreviated story...did I mention that we have also been trying to get our house ready to put on the market too...Done...lock box on...sign in yard Friday or Saturday...Let the selling begin! I will get some updated pics up soon. Campbell's party is this Saturday!

Cooper Turns 2

April 24th, this past Saturday was Cooper's 2nd birthday and his party. We had a Cowboy Party. Due to rain, we had his party in the garage. It actually turned out pretty good...Cooper had so much fun! Nana and Pop were here for the party. We all participated by putting on our cowboy gear!

Cooper's birthday breakfast!

Collier was taking a nap...

Aunt Jerri, Cousin Ann Marie, and Cousin Gabe visit for Spring Break

We had such a wonderful week with Aunt Jerri and our cousins. The boys, Cooper and Gabe are 4 days apart in age. They played together. And, of course, the girls had a blast. Unfortunately, it was only warm the first they got here so we played outside that afternoon. Monkey Joes was so much fun too. I think the boys had more fun than the girls... On Thursday of the visit, we had a picture made. Whew! Getting 5 kids to take a successful picture was a lot of work. Jerri and I felt it went really well, no one was crying in the picture....we say SUCCESS! Nana and Pop wanted a picture of all the grandbabies. Hopefully, they were happy with the picture! We also went to the Children's Museum while they were here. There were 2 special exhibits going on...Barbie (great for the girls) and Bob the Builder (great for the boys). We were there for over 3 hours and basically just saw these 2 exhibits. There was also a great big slide from the second floor to the 1st floor. We all slid down, even Collier, in mommy's Baby Bjorn. We were very sad to see them leave...the house was so quiet. Cannot wait to do it again!!

Easter...way late post

Easter was a great day with our family. We really focused on why we have Easter, especially for Campbell. She has a little book about Easter and can read it to us. So, today we asked her what happened on that first Easter and she said, "Jesus has risen, He is alive." So cool hearing that from our 3 year old. Who knows, we may ask her tomorrow and she may say something else but atleast she has an idea.
So, the Easter bunny did come to our house and left goodies for all 3 kiddos. Cooper kept opening his Easter eggs and eating jelly beans although we asked him not too...ha! ha! We decorated Easter eggs...super messy...not so much fun for mommy...but Campbell and Cooper had a good time. We also had an Easter egg hunt at one or our neighbors' house. It was a lot of fun!

Campbell's First Official Spring Break

So, Campbell goes to preschool 2 days a week. This was her first official spring break so I wanted it to be a super fun week, especially the days she goes to school...Tuesday and Thursday. Day 1 (Tuesday), we packed our lunches and went to the park...it was a bit windy and a little cool but we ate our lunch and then played at the park. Then we went to McDonalds and both Campbell and Cooper had their own chocolate shake. They drank them in the car while mommy fed Collier. Cooper has barely had naps this week because we have been gone so much, poor guy. We got home, Cooper took a short nap and then we were back at it...outside again. We are sooooo excited that we have been able to play outside this week. On Wednesday (Day 2), we went to story time at Barnes and Noble (our first time ever) and it was really great...songs, puppets, books, arts and crafts. Then we went to the pet store and saw the kitty cats and birds. We met a friend at Chick Fil A for lunch and played for just a few there. After lunch, we went to our neighborhood park and played with some friends for an hour and a half. Nap time for Cooper...short nap time! Campbell wanted to go eat lunch with her Daddy during her Spring break so that is what we did on Thursday (Day 3). This takes a big chunk of the day because it is a 40 minute drive each way. We had lots of fun walking the halls of Lilly and visiting with people. The highlight of the lunch trip is that we have to park at the visitor center and take a shuttle over to Jeff's building. You should have seen me getting 3 kids on and off that shuttle...not pretty and not quick! We have had a great week but I am so tired...it is exhausting having this much fun. Tomorrow (Friday) we are going to meet one of Campbell's classmates at the park and then come home and decorate Easter Eggs! Another 80 degree day in Indy!

Yummy lunch at the park

Jacket and sweatshirt...now, we are ready to play

Wintry Hunt

Ok, today was our 1st Easter Egg Hunt of the season. The wind was blowing about 20 mph and it was an overcast sky. So, the hunt started at 3:00 and we were back at the car by 3:12. We hunted our eggs and had our picture made with the Easter bunny in that amount of time. The Jordans know how to hunt eggs! Collier slept through the entire hunt in the baby carrier. She did not even see the Easter bunny!
Collier had her 3 month pictures made this week. She was awake and smiling for all of them! They are adorable. She had a weigh in this week too. She tipped the scale at 9 lbs. 9 ounces. So, she is getting bigger but still small.
We played outside a lot this week too. You should see Cooper on his motorized Kawasaki...he knows how to push the button to go but does not know a thing about steering. We are working on that. He really likes for Campbell to drive him around in her pink Barbie Jeep. He controls the radio. Daddy took out the screw so her jeep drives in fast mode now. She loves it and just takes off. We can no longer walk and keep up with her driving. We have to hoof it to keep up with her in the Jeep. Luckily, she is much better at steering than Cooper!
Campbell has been taking swim lessons too. She has been doing so well. This week, she was a rock star! The teacher was asking her to show the other little boy how to do the skills they were practicing. When the lesson was over, another set of parents went up to Campbell and told her how well she did at the lesson too. We are just trying to keep encouraging her. So far, she still likes the water.
