WALL FAMILY

Jordan turned 16 this April!!  She has grown up so beautiful!  One of the hardest things for us as a family is not being able to see her as much as we would like.  Luckily there are things like telephones, texts and Facebook!  We get to see her life through our chats and pictures at least!  I borrowed some pictures from her Facebook page.  This one is of her on her 16th Birthday and one of the gifts we had made for her.  Even if we don't get to see her as much as we want to we hope she knows how much we love her, miss her and how proud we are of her and who she is.  Happy Birthday sweet Jordan!  We hope it was a wonderful day! Some more pictures I "borrowed"  from her Facebook page.  She is so silly, always making a goofy face and looking like she is enjoying herself!  Jordan playing Lacrosse...I think she really likes it. Looks like fun to me!

In October we went to Salt Lake.  We wanted to see Jordan, meet my neice Elora and see family that we haven't seen in awhile. My Mom and Dad, Vera and her kids and Amanda & Jammie came also so we could see everyone!  Once again I was lost without my camera, I only have a few pictures of our visit from my cell phone.  I wish I would have taken more of everyone that we got to see.  I guess we will have to keep the memories in our head. Here are all the kids holding Elora, they absolutely loved her!! Playing outside... We stopped by the hospital to see my nephew and the rest of the family.  He was hurt playing a football game.  We are glad we got to see them for a little bit but wish it could have been longer and NOT at the hospital.   Kirk's brother, James and his family...Darcy, Hayden, Derek and Christina Cousins... And then there is Halloween in October!  Rylee was a vampire, Dylan was a sag...

Jordan went to her homecoming dance with her friend Trevor.  She said they danced the whole time and had alot of fun!!   She looks so cute, doesn't she!  Sure wish we could have been there to see her for ourselves but we are very happy to get to at least see her pictures.  The internet is a wonderful thing sometimes! The boys both participated in the homecoming activites at school.  They had a different dress up day each week.  One day they wear a certain color, another is pajama day or black and orange day and so on.  This is Rylee on pajama day.  The football players came in and signed their shirts that there were going to wear in the parade and read to them too!  How fun!!  There was a homecoming parade and both Rylee and Dylan were in it too. I dont have a picture of Rylee in the parade because they had the Kindergardners in a bus and even though I could see him waving my camera couldn't.  Oh well. Dylan on the other...

September 2011... It's a new school year again!  Rylee started Kindergarden, Dylan started 6th grade in Middle School and Jordan is in 10th Grade now!  The boys were both so excited about their new classes and Jordan says she likes her school too! Rylee's teacher is Ms. Grandbuche and Jordan and Dylan have way too many teachers to name!  Here are some pictures of the boys on their first day. Even though we didn't get to take pictures of Jordan on her first day cause she lives so far away, I grabbed one from her facebook of her in school this year.                                Shortly after school started Dylan's grade all got to go to Science Camp!  He was excited to go probably because he would be away from home for 4 days!  This is the first time he's been away from us for that long...

We pulled off a pretty big surprise for Kirk and it was fun! I have been telling Kirk that we were picking up Amanda at the airport in Denver because she was coming for a visit. Well....it wasn't Amanda we picked up, it was Jordan!! And Kirk had no clue. Up until she put her hands over his eyes and almost a full 10 seconds later he finally realized who she was. Kirk was in a mix of shock and happiness because he hadn't seen her in quite awhile and really didn't expect to see her at that moment. I think most people knew this was happening which made it even more amazing that we pulled it off! The three kiddo's together again We spent the night at a friends house in Evergreen, CO. This is a georgous place with good friends to visit. Could you imagine this as your yard? It's like camping every day! While we were there we visited Tiny Town, CO. This is the cutest and most fun place for kids. Rylee was in heaven here! You should click this link to find out more about th...

Of course our Easter couldn't have been as exciting with out a kick off Easter Egg Hunt yesterday at the Park. It only lasted about 5 minutes though. Put a bunch of candy in front of a bunch of kids and there isn't much hope for the candy! We stuck around for a while though and let the kids play at the park with the hundreds of other kids that were there. Then we colored Easter eggs and made a mighty mess in the process! Who cares though, they had a ball. Easter Morning they were excited to find that the Easter Bunny had left them a few surprises! Rylee and Dylan both got candy of course but they also got some books, toys and the most exciting for them were the Sea Monkeys! Now we get to see how they grow. Here is what they'll look like. This is Easter morning in 2008 And Dylan and Jordan in, I think, 2005 This is probably in 2004. I am horrible at remembering dates which is why I should write them down when I first get them.
