Today in Iowa - 08-25

Today started out with an early morning session on the wakeboard for matt and I. Well... we didn't get to as early as desired. Matt layed the jackets out on the back of the boat before we pulled out and I didn't notice. By the time we got to the other side of the lake to hop in we were wondering where they were. Time for a water rescue mission. We took the next ten minutes retracing our tracks to find the two jackets bobbing about 150 yards from each other. We then thoroughly enjoyed the session, both landed a ton of grads and also wake to wake frontside 180's. G'ma had breakfast ready for the whole fam when we got back and even banned us from dishes so we could relax. We then played in the lake, played some card games, and went to a crazy public pool with HUGE slides with the kidos. There was a high dive, basketball hoop and waterfalls galore! It was a great time. Drew even swam with his face in the water!!! We are off to dinner and a movie tonight as the youngins have a babysitter coming.

Hi everyone! I am here in Kauai, Hawaii with my family and I thought that I would share some pics with you from our trip this past week. It is absolutely beautiful here and we have been enjoying every second of it! We have had so much fun touring around the island, snorkeling (not my favorite thing), swimming, and relaxing. We went to a luau and have been playing at the beach and in the pools! The weather has been great and we are loving it here in Kauai! "Hello" to all of you from the Jordan clan. I'll see you all in a couple of days. I am looking forward to hanging out in Clear Lake with you all! Love you guys! P.S. You can thank my mom for pic of bud and I in our cool snorkel gear : )

Today around the Lake

Here is the brief rundown. Mom and I rode around the lake in the rain and yes, we made it all 17.2 miles!!! Here is a pick of us half way around in Ventura! Tyler ate, cried, and smiled... we caught the latter in the pic thankfully. Kristen decided that it was her turn to sit in the kidos' chairs. We went out for a few wakeboard / sumo suit / tube rides. (andrew is a maniac - as pictured yesterday). and now we are watching a movie and getting ready to rest up for what we hope will be a beautiful day tomorrow.

The Storm!!!

Shout outs from Iowa

It's been a crazy week here so far. Good, but crazy. We got here on Sunday evening and Monday was straight to the lake. It was good to get out on the water. Michael and I hopped on the new wakeboard and it felt good to get back in action on the board. I landed a few good grabs while Michael was working hard on the toeside 180's. He's getting pretty close to clearing the wake while spinning.




We've also gotten to work on our fitness too. On Monday, Michael and I jogged from house to house (john and colleen to grandma and grandpa's). This morning Kristen and I got to go for a jog as well. Good times.

The craziest part was the storm last night. Big wind, rain, and a ton of lightning. Scary, but fun. More to come when I don't have Tyler in my arms.

And Most Recently...

We bought some goggles for the Sumo tube (not yet pictured). They work BRILLIANTLY and def. make us the coolest kids on the block... for the second year running. :)

See you all (Kristen, Matt, Tyler, and Megs) soon!

Pappa REALLY loves those boys!

Hello all - especially Matt and Kristen!

Boy, your Dad reallllllly loves your boys! This afternoon I was heading out to do some errands and he had just taken over. As I was leaving I thought Jer might need to be changed, so I tossed Dad a diaper. Jer had quite a suprise for him!! It was so funny! Dad thought he was going to gag. Andrew was claughing so hard at Pappa and Jer was such a trooper. I can't tell you how much we're enjoying these guys.




Here's my new dryer, Kristen. I knew that clothes line would come in handy some day!






The boys enjoyed a slow afternoon. They had fun with their new monster trucks out on the deck. The deck is working out great as a safe place for them to play outside.





We closed the day with a ride in the jeep. We saw the corn fields up close! Andrew and Jeremy take ofter all the men in the family and really enjoyed the bumpy roads! We went to the Barrell for dinner of chicken, french fries and chocolate milkshakes! Then we spent the end of the day at the beach. They sure do like the water.

Jeremy asked, "Where's my mommy?" and I told him where you were, what you're doing, that you'll both be here soon and that you love them both sooooooooooooooooooooooooo very much. We talk about you alot. They know you'll be here soon, so they're feeling fine and having fun. They sure do love their Pappa! I do, too. It's been so nice having this time together.

Love you all! Michael is on his way and will be here tomorrow afternoon/evening!!!!!!!!!!! We're praying for safe travels for all.

Another beautiful day!

Boy are we having a ggod time! We all went on a ride in the boat this morning - Kristen, I kept my hand on Jer at all times! Andrew was near me, well within reach and did a wonderful job staying on his knees or buns. He's getting to be such a big boy!




Look! Pappa is even teaching him to drive the boat. You should have seen the left turn he took!


These boys are precious. We are so enjoying our time together. Can't wait to see you all! Love you! :)

Evening fun at the beach

Hi again!

this is part two of the post, but you get to see it first. We wanted to let you enjoy the evening with us. The boys really enjoyed the beach! It's fun because there's no undertow!

Can't wait for you all to get here so we can enjoy it all together.

Love you!

We're having soooo much fun!

Hi all!

We're having so much fun! The boys were great on the plane. The "presents" were a big hit. And they really enjoyed "A Snoopy Christmas"! That was the only video they watched - there was just so much to do!

Yesterday we started at Gma and Gpa"s and the lake. They just began to get their water wings. In the afternoon we took a walk to the fountain - Andrew loves it!

Had a break, some dinner and then back to the lake - the "beach" We're off again to the beach in a minute, so I'll make this short. Just wanted you all to have a picture of the good times ahead!

We love you all MUCHO!
