Dancin' the Night Away

So I haven't gotten into the habit yet of updating our blog. But I am working on it.

So what has been happening around our household you ask?

Just a couple weeks ago Jourden was accompanied by my dad to her Girl Scout "Me and My Guy" dance. It was a 50's theme. Dad came and got her and they went out to eat and then danced the night away.

Piano lessons

Jourden and Joel started piano lessons yesterday. Yes Shawn will be joining them but he and Jourden will be switching off weeks(since they are already in band). They had a really fun time. And did very well. We were actually able to use the books that I used frowing up so that was nice not to have to go out and buy new ones. :-) I am not exaclty sure how I ended up with them, but I did. They are taking lessons from Sandra Nance from our church. Not sure if she will do any kind of recital type thing, but if so we will some how put it up so you all can watch.

A little late....but better late than never...

So it is already almost 2 weeks into the new year and I am just now getting around to welcoming in the new year.
We had a fun new years eve. We had some friends and family over and rocked out to Rock Band on the Wii. And got ourselves a good workout on the Wii Fit with snoboarding with Shawn White. Jimmy got in his first "snowboarding accident". hahaha Yes on the Wii Fit. I guess when you don't use your knees like that they do get a little sore.
Shawn spent New Years Eve with some of the yough from church. It was his first "party" away from us. He had a good time and didn't really give me many details. I think that is his shy nature. So I guess that is what I have to look forward to...my "baby" going to parties. ahhhh!! :-)

So far this year we have celebrated(long distance) my neice Ally's birthday, Jimmy's grandmas birthday, Rosco's(our dog) birthday, and my birthday(which is today).
My wonderful dad and step-mom sent me flowers to work today. And they were beautiful. I will post a picture soon. Thanks dad and Micki!

Yesterday(January 12) was a friend of ours birthday and tomorrow(January 14) is another friends birthday. So sunday we had them all over for cake and ice cream. And then we all watched Extreme Homemakeover(it was the family from Pekin Illinois). We had a fun time celebrating all together.

So that pretty much wrapps up our first 2 weeks of the new year. We are looking forward to seeing what this new year bring us.
