This weekend me, Jack, my mom and my niece Kiana drove to Bellingham, WA. It was a pretty good weekend. It was aimed at shopping, mostly. I don't have any money to do that, my mom and dad donated some to my cause. Though, I didn't spend all of it, and what I did spend was spent on clothes for Jack :P ( Read more... )

I dyed my hair blonde the other day. I'm not really sure that I like it, which is weird because I was blonde for most of my life. I look a lot different than I used to.. maybe my colouring has changed? And maybe the glasses throw it off, too. I somehow missed a couple little spots around the edge of my forehead, but I swear I dyed there ( Read more... )

Yesterday I threw Jordan a surprise birthday party. It went pretty well! The day seemed to work in my favour for the most part. Jordan went over to our friend Mike's house to have a couple beers and watch horror movies. This was pre-arranged with Mike, of course. My mom helped decorate while I ran and picked up some pop, ice and the cake. I ( Read more... )

Last month, Jordan's Grandpa got married again, to a woman named Fay. Jordan and I were both in the wedding party. After that, the newly weds left to go on their honeymoon. They went on a cruise in the Mediterranean, I believe. They were gone for a couple weeks. They planned to have their reception for when they got home ( Read more... )

Jordan and I have been getting into playing cards a lot lately. It's pretty fun. Even though he wins most of the time because he's good at everything. But the few times I actually do win, it feels that much better! lol We've been playing cribbage and rummy. I'm sure we'll branch into some others. It's neat how many different game people have come ( Read more... )

Today was fun. We had Jordan's sister Chantal, her boyfriend Adam and their daughter Hayli over. As well as Jordan's brother Ryan and his girlfriend Whitney. We had a good old fashioned BBQ. Hayli and Jack got to run around and play. Hayli played in the pool for a bit. The two of them played in the sandbox. Hayli loves the tree house ( Read more... )

Today we all got up early because Jack got up and then Jordan kind of got into a stupid argument and we just both ended up staying up. I had a tea and that helped. Jack was showing signs that he wanted to go out (bringing us our shoes) so we went to the swimming pool. My friend Karen says she usually goes on Wednesdays with another mom, but we didn ( Read more... )

My parents never really had a lot of traditions or anything when I was growing up. So, I think one of the best things about being a parent is making new ones for your new family. And keeping some of the old. But, traditions nonetheless. I find it pretty exciting ( Read more... )
