Glasses

Guess who's wearing glasses these days?  Jordan's pediatrician advised me that Jordan does not have 20/20 vision.  I was surprised because I had no clue, but I should have known with all the people in my family and his dad's family that wear glasses.  So off to the eye doctor we went!  Jordan is slightly near sighted and needs glasses mostly so he can see the board at school.  When he first tried on his glasses he was amazed by how different everything looked.  I think he looks so grown up and handsome.  Don't you?

Thanksgiving

I did a lousy job of taking pictures this year on Thanksgiving.  We had my parents, Rob's parents, the great grandparents, Uncle John, Aunt Liz and Mike over for Thanksgiving dinner.  I guess with all the preparing of food and stuffing of my face, I was too busy enjoying myself to catch many of those memories.  Which I guess is not such a bad thing.

 Kierstin put on her Alice costume from a couple of Halloweens ago.  I guess she felt the occasion called for a little dress up.

 This is her "cheese" face.  Her shirt says, "Everyone is Thankful for ME!"

 Jordan did not apprectiate the turkey hats I found in the dollar section of the store.  I think they're cute and funny.  HAHA!

It wouldn't be a Thanksgiving post without listing what I'm thankful for.  I'm thankful for my family and that we are all healthy.  I'm thankful that Rob and I are both still employed so that we can continue to provide for our growing family.  I'm thankful that we have a roof over our heads and food on the table.  I'm thankful for such great friends who are always there when I need them.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! 

Sisters

There's something special about sisters.  I never appreciated my sister until I became an adult.  I can't imagine my life without my sister, so I'm glad that Kierstin and Delaney have each other.  I realize that 6 years is quite a large age gap, but my sister and I are almost 4 years apart.  So I'm hopeful that they will have a special relationship for the rest of their lives.

Best friends for life

Happy Halloween

This was a very special Halloween.  Not only was it my birthday, but Delaney really got to be a part of all the action this year.  She is a pro-walker now and I had so much fun dressing her up!  I absolutely love this age.

 Time for trick-or-treating at Grandma and Grandpa Kammeyer's house.  Hey Brother wait for me!

Come on Mom let's go! 

After some trick or treating at the grandparents houses we went to trunk or treat at Kierstin's mom's church.  She made a pretty cute witch. 

Yum cotton candy.  Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch today.  We tried out a new place this year and were happy with our choice.

 Our little family.  Aren't we cute?

 She's happy to be walking with her Daddy and not stuck in her stroller.

 Jordan and Kierstin in the petting zoo.  Being silly of course.

 CORN!

 This ostrich kept trying to take a bite out of Jordan.  Too funny.

 Posing on the tractor.

 Delaney pushed her stroller all over the farm.  She was very pleased with herself.

 "Look Mom a pumpkin!"

 Landon, Jordan and Kierstin

Happy fall!!  We can't wait to carve into our pumpkin.

Jordan's happiest place on earth

 Jordan loves Legos!  So when I heard that they were finally opening a Lego Store at our local mall, I knew that we had to go.  I wanted to surprise Jordan so I did not tell him ahead of time.  Yesterday was an early release day at school so we picked up Grandma and Grandpa Norris, ate some lunch at the Cheescake Factory, and headed to the mall.

 This was the long line we stood in just to get in the door.  I know, we're crazy but it wasn't bad at all.

 While Grandma and Grandpa stood in line, Jordan got to help build an 8 foot Yoda.  He put together one brick for the master builders that were there putting it together.

 The brick he put together.  It took him about a minute.

 

 This is the Yoda that they were working on.  The smaller Yoda on the inside of the circle is just a smaller model.  The circle is the actual Yoda that will be 8 feet tall.

Grandpa and Delaney waiting patiently for Jordan and Grandma to finish shopping.  That place was a zoo. 

 Jordan is checking out the Harry Potter Legos.  He wants the Hogwarts castle someday.

This is what Jordan picked out.  It's the Hogwarts Express and the flying car!  As soon as we got home he spent the rest of the evening putting this together.

Train Park

Last Sunday we spent the day at the McCormick Stillman Railroad Park.  This park is amazing and by far one of my favorites.  My Dad and Step-mom are in town from Charlotte NC, so the family decided to go to the park and spend some time together.  It was a little on the hot side, but it was such a beautiful day.

 Jordan playing on the playground.

 My Dad with Kierstin.  She was soaked from the misters.

 Delaney's first time on the swing!  She loved it for all of 30 seconds and then she decided that she was done.  Oh well, we'll try again next time.

 Landon, Jordan and Kierstin got to ride in the caboose on the train that goes around the park.  They loved it.

 Being silly in the caboose of course.

Delaney loved the train too.

The train

Hanging out and eating our lunch.  We had sandwiches with chips, potato salad, pasta salad and veggies.  YUMMY!

She figured out how to climb up into that big chair all by herself.  If only she could figure out how to use Aunt Liz's phone.

Jordan and Landon in "JAIL" where they belong.

We will definately be heading back to this park soon since the weather has finally cooled down.  Such a great day!
