Jordan, Amanda, Rowan and I all drove to Gatlinburg to go to Dollywood today. Since Jordan doesn't like to go on the rollercoasters it worked out well having a 2 year old go with us. They rode all the kiddie rides together and had a great time. That night we all went swimming in the cold pool and not so hot hot tub. Then next day we met Lisa and her family, Mom and Dad, and Jamie and his family at Dollywood. Jackson loved the water park and him and Jordan loved shooting people with water. Jamie bought Jackson a play gun and he tried to shoot people as he drove the cars. It was so cute. Dad and I were the only ones who wanted to go on any of the rollercoasters. It was nice having Amanda and Rowan go with us, it gave me company driving to KY to drop Jordan off to go to her dads house. Then we went on to Amandas parents house for the night.

Tonight was Alicias going away party at the Grove Park Inn. Val, Margarita, Alicia, and I all met upstairs, then went down to Elaines Dueling Piano Bar. We had the best time there. It was so much fun singing. Alicia and I got hungry afterwards so it was alittle hard to find a place that still served food at 1am. Luckily the Bier Garden was willing to make us some nachos. I think we finally got home at 2am. Alicia slept over and slept in Jordans room with the cat. That morning we went downtown for a nice Father's Day breakfast. Then she went home to pack. We all met back up at Outback for supper. I'm so sad they are moving away!!!

YEA!!! Last day of school. We got Jordan and Laura out of school at 11am then drove to Myrtle Beach. We got there about the same time as Jamie and his family. Jordan and Laura played really well with Johnnys girls. Jordan wouldn't go out very far in the ocean because we all saw a shark swimming by us. I think their favorite time there was the very last day we all played frisbee and built sandcastles on the beach at night. Then went in the water with all our clothes on.

The Circus
Tammy, Zach, Jeanine, Amanda, Rowan, Jordan, and I all went to the circus tonight at the Civic Center. The Circus people tried to get Jordan and I to jump rope, but we wouldn't do it. It was pretty funny.

Girl Scout Camp
This year camp was great. We didn't have to sleep in tents on the floor, instead we slept in the cute tree house's. It was fun for me since Lisa and Laura came with us. Lisa had her surgery last week, but she was feeling well enough to make the trip. It was just like we were little again attending camp. The girls were so excited to sleep in their own tree house without adults, until it was actually time to fall asleep, then they were a bit scared. We only stayed one night, but with all the stuff we brought you would have thought we were moving in. After all the activities and meals we headed home, stopping in Brevard for the White Squirrel festival. We still are a bit confused as to why they have a festival for squirrels, but it was fun all the same. It's amazing how life works out. I love the fact that I get to live by my Aunt, she is the sister I never had. And for Jordan she gets to grow up with her cousins. I hope they stay best friends forever.

Happy Half Birthday to Jordan!!! So today Jordan is 8 1/2. She got to leave school a 1/2 a day early. Then we drove to MiMi and PaPa Schwitzgoebels house. Mimi and I took Jordan to Libby Lu's and she got to get a makeover. She got her nails, makeup, and hair done. Then she got to shop in there store and pick out a few things. Jordan picked pizza and wings for supper, then after supper she had a 1/2 a cake and mimi, papa, and I sang Happy ( )day ( ) you, Happy ( )day ( ) you, happy ( ) day ( ) jordan, happy ( ) day ( ) you. That night I found a note on my bed from Jordan that read, "Thanks mom for making this the best 1/2 birthday ever."

May 2-3

Wow what a weird week. I took Laura and Jordan to Rebecca's baby shower at La Paz. The girls had a great time, they were so excited that Shelly brought her son Nathan. Scary what little flirts they are. Saturday we actually got up in time for Sabbath school. It was a very sad day at church. Went to the neighbor's house for lunch with a few other people then got dressed and went to Matthew Thomas's funeral. The church was so packed with people that they had to have people in the youth room watching on a movie screen. I can't imagine losing a child. Ran over to Rowans birthday party at the park for a bit. Then to Lisas house to vist with friends. What a busy day.
