New Job!

So, Jordan and I have been looking for a house. We like houses that are WAY too expensive than we can afford (of course). We found out how much we can afford today and I was feeling pretty bad about it and then about an hour later I get a call from the Sugar-Salem school district offering me a job that I had interviewed for earlier this week. I really didn't think much of it when I interviewed for it because I had applied about 9 months ago and then forgotten anything about it. Anyway, I'm going to be working at Central Elementary School from 7:55am- 12 noon. I start right after Harvest Break and after I come home from Washington. I'm pretty excited about it! Here's a picture of the school but it doesn't look this bad in real life.

Flour Mishaps and the Zoo

Today Shelby got into the flour. Jordan's grandmother and I were downstairs discussing sewing machines and Shelby got away and went upstairs. She opened the flour drawer and tried to drink out of the flour sifter. I think she looks pretty awesome and I think she was pretty proud of herself.

Another exciting thing that happened today was that Jordan got a promotion! He is now the Parts Manager at Rexburg Motor sports! He has been working there for about 2 1/2 years and we couldn't be happier! We get to start looking at houses for real now!


Jordan and Shelby are in the petting zoo portion of the Idaho Falls zoo. This goat came up and put his foot on Jordan's leg. It was pretty cute!Here is my little baby bird. Shelby climbed into this nest. She loves the Zoo!

Mustang Show

This weekend we went to Park City for a family reunion and for the Mustang Show. Jordan, his brothers and his dad all read Mustang Monthly and they had a show in Park City so we decided to make a family reunion out of it.
No one brought their Mustangs but we still had fun! Next year we will be more fun because hopefully we will have all the mustangs there.
This slide show is from the show.Hail the conquering heroes! They just finished riding the Alpine Coaster. They had a lot of fun!


Here we are riding the chair lift up to the Alpine Slide. I thought Jordan was going to ride the Alpine coaster and the Alpine Slide but to be nice to me he decided to just ride the coaster so I wouldn't be bored. While he was on the coaster I decided I would ride the slide with him. So, it turned out we didn't ride anything together. Oh well, it was still fun!


Monkeys jumping on the bed!
Zoie and Shelby were jumping on the bed while I was singing "two little monkeys jumping on the bed
one fell off and bumped her head. . ."
Right after I sang that part Shelby fell off and bumped her head.
I think if she were a little bit older she would have made me call the doctor.
So needless to say, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

4th of July

I know I've been really bad lately about blogging. Now, I need to catch up! Our 4th of July was pretty mild. We went to the parade here in town, tried to enter Shelby in a cutest baby contest (she would totally win) and we had a bbq with some of our friends. I took a few pictures to document the day.
Shelby sat on the potty for a little bit. That's pretty much all she does, but it's a start!

Then, Jordan helped me make a fruit bowl out of a watermelon. When I say helped I mean he did it all! He's such a perfectionist that it turned out great!

Then Shelby ate everything she could find and a lot ended up on her face. Oh well, it makes for a cute picture.

Cousins

Shelby's cousin, Zoie has come up for the week. We've been having a lot of fun! First we went to Logan to visit Aunt Hilary. Hilary and I went down the stairs and we saw Grandma and her two cute granddaughters. We just had to get our cameras and take their pictures.

Then we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Frisby's house on Sunday. Shelby and Zoie had a little "water" party before. I think Shelby frustrated Zoie because all she wanted to do was fish out the ice cubes from the pitcher. Oh well, that's what's on your mind when your only 1 1/2.

The girls also had fun playing in the toy car on the deck. Shelby didn't like being in the car with someone else. She is starting to throw more fits. As you can see, there was one at dinner too.


Then today we went to the splash park and the kids went on the carousel and played in the water. Shelby actually played in the water this time!

Summer, summer, summertime!

I love summertime! I can't say it's my favorite season but it is a close second to Fall or what I like to call "Sweater Weather." But, this isn't about Sweater Weather. I love the sounds of summer the most. Shelby and I went to the "splash park" that is in Porter park the other day. I thought we were going to have so much fun. You could hear the sounds of the kids playing and the water spraying and the carousel's music playing. We got there and Shelby started smiling and laughing when she saw the water but as soon as she got into it, She freaked out. The big bucket on the top dumped a TON of water on her and she started running in a circle looking for me. It was so funny! I wish that I was able to take a picture of her but my camera's battery was too low.
Shelby did however like the Carousel, a lot! She didn't want to get off of it. She rode Sister Sue, which is a horse that Jordan's brothers fixed up when they were redoing the Carousel. It is a really cute little horse.
The next day Shelby and I went over to the Hymas' house to stay with Caleb and Holden while Raygon and Andy went to do Sealings. We had a lot of fun! Shelby and Caleb ran through the sprinklers and played with all of his toys. I think it's fun for her to play with new toys. I did find out that Shelby is a very jealous girl! Anytime I held Holden, she would want to be held too. I'm worried about when we have our next baby!

When my cousin, Laura, was here a little while ago we went up to Yellowstone National Park. We didn't get to spend much time there because Jordan had to work in the morning and he had class later in the evening. Anyway, it was beautiful but the animals we hiding from us.

I never knew that toddlers liked corn on the cob. Maybe they don't and my child is just weird. But, we had some BBQ and Shelby really wanted my corn on the cob and of course my spoiled little girl gets what she wants. I promise it's not just a fluke thing. She ate a lot of it another time, too. Anyway, here's a picture of her holding her cob after she ate it.

What Mother's day means to me

This Mother's day was one of the best. I know I haven't had very many but it was still fun! Shelby went to nursery and stayed the entire time! It was only her second Sunday going so I was really impressed that she was a good girl! She even drew a picture for me. But, I have to say sitting for three hours of church was amazing!


Shelby and I went outside after it rained a few days ago and we walked around looking at all the pretty flowers and trees that we have in our yard. It was fun to just get out and play.
