Jordan is going to kill me, but here goes.....

He went to Prom with a friend in a different school, beautiful girl and he looked so handsome I can't help but post these...I nearly cried..what a cornhopper I am

And at long last at 1:30 a.m. when I picked him up and asked how it went!!!

                                                   What a stud muffin!  Love that kid!

Choir Concert for Girls

They performed in front of Macy's at Downtown Plaza...so cute! Andrea is all smiles and Isabelle looks like she is in pain (I think she is cold).  Isabelle on left front row, Andrea on right in purple half sweater and grey tank.

Dress-Up

Girls dressed up in Mom's clothes and makeup! Cute, trying to get it out of their system now before Jr. High/Middle School!

Trip to San Francisco

 

      

















Paranoid New Yorker wouldn't hand over my camera to anyone to take a family photo....yeah, yeah....I'm working on it people.

Two tier carousel at Pier 39....girls loved it boys.....

Not so much...



Carolyn loved it!

Yaaaaay !!!!!!!

"Come Sister, Mother has said we can go and ride the Carousel.  Mother has also promised us warm cider and candied plums..."

Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco

Jordan is ignoring me completely....but you can see his cool glasses so really that is good enough...

Any fountain makes them happy, they are like Mermaids coming home....

Mmmmmm, ice cream at Ghirardelli Ice Cream Parlor

Exploratorium....really cool place..our favorite!

Even Jordan liked it...they had really cool stuff

Jordan called this the iTunes wall...

Tornado that you can walk into....pretty awesome

This was the "Alice in Wonderland" room or at least that is what we called it...

Carolyn seems to be breakdancing and Jordan looks like he's doing the Robot....not sure what was going on here...





We stayed there for a week and did all the touristy stuff we could conjure up....it was fun, but only now that I can look back at it...then, not so much.  We were tempted to put the kids on a ship bound oversees and walk away....

My baby turns 3 !!!!

Isn't she cute ! We still call her baby!! She is so spoiled ! She was so excited









Her sisters frosted her cake for her.











Nolan wanted to help blow out the candles !!!! Bless his heart....



Ok, on three....


This is Andrea....so bored...waiting for her presents.

Misc Stuff - Halloween and Jord's Football Game

Took this Ghetto style with my cell phone camera--classy ! He doesn't know....so shhhhh don't tell. Jordan is #66--he is in the game on the field. I went almost every Friday, just me and the girls to watch. Dad got off work at 6 p.m. and got there for the last 1/2 hour each time. Go Rosemont Wolverines!!



At the hay bale maze at a place on Apple Hill. Girls were excited, Jordan refused to be in the photo...once again too cool.



View from one of the places on Apple Hill......oooohhhh..... aahhh pretty!

Xmas Tree Search 2009

Ok, so I've been bad and lazy...no posts....so here goes...

Jordan is soooo photogenic!!! Loves to be captured by the camera. Apparently, he's wanted or something or too cool now that he is a teenager to have his photo taken by his mom......whatever! Luv u 2 Jord!



Cheese!!!! That's Carolyn (L) and Isabelle (R). (Daddy was working, so we flew solo)



Isabelle and Andrea.....we were in car getting ready to go to Grandma's and Grandpa's to go get a Christmas Tree last Saturday at 7:30 a.m.! This was taken at about 6:45 a.m.!!! They were up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday! They were a little excited!




Ready to go guys?! Anybody, nobody....ok...




(L to R) Carolyn, Andrea, Nolan, Isabelle.
This is at the bottom of the hill waiting to get on the truck to go up the mountain.



How cute is she!!! My niece, Claire Riddle.




Uncle Brian on one side and Uncle Craig and some kids on the other.



This is our tree! Pretty huh! Picked it out myself...not bad huh! Anyhoo....Jordan cut it down....what a man!



Who wants to test the flammability of their jackets first kiddies!!??? They kept throwing stuff in the fire...obviously not pioneer material.... This was on the top of the mtn.



Yeah !!!!!! We are going down the mountain....off to pay for the tree and get our annual ornament, hot chocolate, and cookies.




Didn't get a photo of the scary ride down the mountain with the trees, had to hold Jordan's waist to make sure he didn't fall out because he was holding the 9 foot tree! He told me, "Don't worry Mom, if the tree falls out I will jump out with it.." Good plan, huh!
