FOURTEEN on the 14th !!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY :-)

First, I'd like to say .... I. CANNOT. BELIEVE. I. AM. A. PARENT. OF. A. FOURTEEN. YEAR. OLD....... I'm still processing this. This may take time.

Anyway, you know how I am... I decorate for every event. It's a sickness -- LOL

Check out the cake! or hamburger? cake? hamburger?

I was gonna pass it off like I made this ... but my conscience got the better of me ... where do you think I got this cake? Bed Bath and Beyond? My Cousin who lives in TN? or WalMart ?

WARNING: these are not angels - LOL

LOL LOL Love it !!!!

Happy Birthday, Boo !

Time for Pizza ! See Nana over there ... since the girls spent the night, our plan was that I'd take the day shift and mom would take the night shift -- she stays up all night anyway, so she'd check on them throughout the night ... cause *there won't be any sneaking out in my house* LOL LOL .... just sayin...

AND of course, OREO was in all the action .... gee maybe we should get her a chair for the table ??

This was around the time Nana took over -- can you tell I'm ready for bed???? LOL

The aftermath. Looks like they had fun :-) Mission Accomplished !

Jordi's dad wrote her a poem based on her name --sweet !

which earned him a huge hug and kiss!

Happy Birthday, Boo !!!!

Church Camp

Well, let me be the first to say -- CHURCH CAMP AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE !

Apparantly these days, the kids get to be themselves ! Have fun !

Pray for each other and the week ahead !

Get to know new friends from other churches !

And then compete against them !

Go Jordan !!

Get it girl !

You can do it !

Go ! Go ! Go !

Jordan and her friends and faculty had a great time getting to know God, themselves, and each other in a deeper way ! Thank you Lord, for food, fun, and friends !

Baby Pics ....

I was looking through some old pictures and found these of Oreo. No wonder we paid too much money for her and brought her home with us ..... just take a look at that face !

O! MY! GAAWWSSH! Look how little ! I think she weighed only 4 pounds. I remember I could hold her in one hand.

Baby Oreo .... What a sweetie ! Makes you want to pick her up and never put her down.... which, by the way, these pictures are of the rare times when we did put her down -- LOL

Be still my heart !

Celebrating July 4th 2011 with Lieutenant Dan

We live only 15 minutes away from Fort Rucker Airforce Base.

Because I'm a 'civilian', I have to go through security where they check my license and tags.

For the 4th of July, they had a huge festival that included showing off their planes and helicopters.

They were fasinating !!

One of the "Privates"?.... "Colonels"?....."Lieutenants"??.... we'll one of the military guys let Jordan try on a helicopter helmet.... cute!

Strike a pose !

We enjoyed the helicopters, planes, food, and fun ... BUT the real reason we were here was to see Gary Sinese and the LT Dan Band !!!

God Bless America !

Look at the crowd!

The Man of the Hour ---- Gary Sinese!

Jordan got close to the stage and he looked right at her -- lol !

Me and Gary ... sort of - LOL !!
