NO GUTS NO GLORY!!!!

Today Tater took her first run!!! Our friend Alan was on the boat and asked our brave little gal if she would like to go and the gal that has no fear said YES.

Happy Birthday To You!!!

Tater is the big THREE today I cannot believe three years have gone by already. She keeps saying my birthday is next... and it is finally here. She is so excited. I always wondered when birthdays and Christmas would be exciting well that time has arrived and she is pumped up for her special day. It just seems like yesterday that Jordan and I were anxiously awaiting her arrival. Our daughter has an extreemly kind heart, loves life, and her family. She hasn't been short on words since she started talking and always wants to be part of the party. We love our little Tater Bug and wish her the happiest of birthdays and a great year to follow.

Five Years...

We celebrated our fifth anniversary on the 25!! YES I got the date right. Jordan had to work, that day and when he left that morning, he left me thinking that we wouldn't be doing anyting. We only had a small window of time to do something and no babysitter. He told me that this would be an anniversary that I would remember!!!I went about my daily routine of things to do...I had to go to the laundry mat that day, there are toys there...Tayauna squatted and peed in the toys (she is trying to give Finley a run for her money at the Childrens Museum) so since there was a puddle I had to go ask the worker there for the things to clean it up with! Then Jordan sent me up to Jenn's for a paper he needed for "work." It was an invitation to meet him for dinner at Walkers. At this point in time. I had Jill and Tay, Jensen had to go to the Hospital because he wasn't doing very well so I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to meet Jordan. The girls played all afternoon, and around 5:00 I got a call from Jayne. I was to take Jill there, and a good friend of Jordan's from HS was going to take Tay so we could have 30min together for dinner, before he had to work again.
I walked in to Walkers and Jordan was sitting on the Wendy's side. He had gotten a table cloth and laid it on one of the tables in the corner. He had gone to the Outback and ordered my favorite meal and his. We sat and ate a great meal in the time that he had..here's to making it count. He had also gone to Tres Jolie and gotten me the Noelle set... for those of you that don't know that is my middle name he put a lot of time, effort, and thought into making me feel special on that day and I am greatful to him for that. Yes, it was a memorable day, in time the crazy parts will fade away and the wonderful memories of the sweetness of my husband I will remember. Thank you Jordan for all that you do for us and the efforts that you put forth in making each day a special one. I love you.

Happy Birthday UNCLE JACOB!!!!

To our uncle Jake we wish you a Happy Birthday. I think that the song says it all. It is probably one of our fondest memories of Jake. Kereokee night I think he chose one of the longest songs of all time... what a blast that was. Hope that you had a great day.
