Despicable Me Blimp

Despicable Me is Jordan's all time favorite movie!!  Since she was 18 months she has been asking for it by saying, "Me..Me...Me...!"  So when Rob saw that they were taking a blimp around the country to promote the second movie...we had to check it out.  Luckily it came to Louisville for the Derby.  The website http://www.despicablimp.com/ has a map to show you where it is but never says specifically where...so Rob and I spent the day trying to find out where in Louisville it was.  Luckily some people had tweeted that it was at a little airport.  We drove 30 minutes and walked along a chain fence for about 300 yards to see it!!


I think Taylor was more excited than Jordan and was mad when we didn't get to see it fly!


Jordie finally got into it!


Matthew was just along for the ride.


Here are the girls trying to say Despicable Me Blimp!

Life and Derby

If you've ever met Rob...you know that he hasn't stopped since we got here!!  We've been in the house for about 5 weeks and he has...
painted the office
painted the kitchen
added a set of stairs to the porch
put in a rock path to the new set of stairs
cut down and moved all the dead fall in the back
cut down a tree in the front
fixed all the squeaky floors
added shelves in the garage
...and I am sure that I have forgotten something!
Oh ya...two new light cans in the kitchen! 

Taylor is an awesome big sister and helps me all the time by watching Matthew!


Jordan is now potty trained and doing awesome!  She's had a rough week this last week...if you can tell form the picture, she fell off the porch onto the rock path and got a pretty good goose egg while bloodying her nose.  She has had a fever for about a week with really bad breath.  After about 3 days I finally gave in to take her to the doctor only to find out that she didn't have an ear infection or strep throat!  We're hoping that she will get better soon... for all of our sanity!!


Jord is an awesome big sister too and loves to lay and play with Matthew....The only draw back is that Matthew doesn't get to play with his toys!


We took a night off from projects last week and found a fun park to play at.  The girls loved the splash pad even though we hadn't come prepared.


Jordan had no qualms stripping down to her undies....Taylor was a little more modest and stayed dressed.


In honor of moving to Louisville and to my Grandma who watched the Kentucky Derby religiously, we decided to make our own hats and watch the derby!


Jordan didn't want a thing to do with our homemade hats, she opted for the cowboy hat...


Rob, on the other hand, didn't mind our girly hats!  Oh and that is strawberry milk in his hand!!


Here's the whole happy family ready to watch the race!!  I wish we had gotten one a little closer up!


I had to include this one!!!  We just got the bumbo seat out for Matthew and he loves it!!  Jordan had to be i the pic!
