I'm pretty proud of this dude. He's going to do amazing things. But because I don't like to admit he's 18, an adult and like a really real person, here's a pic of how I pretend he still is...because it's all my heart can handle.

My baby's first day of college...
Wait a second, that simply canNOT be. He had to have skipped a few grades because I can't have a freshman in college. Jordan, being the good son he is, sent me this picture on his first day of school because I'm the mom and I want the picture. Plus I gave him life so these are the things I get in return.

It's Report Card Day!
I always love report card day in this house. The kids always do their best in school so it always shows in their reports.
Jasmine and James' report cards came today. They both did awesome!
Jasmine got all O's and 2 S's. Of course her behavior was perfect, as usual. She was actually disappointed that she got two S's. Little Miss Perfect! :-) She can't wait for 3rd grade report cards and "real" grades.
James got all A's and one C. The C was in Science. When we asked him before what he thought he did, he actually thought he was going to get all A's and thought he did poorly in Science. He said the end of the year was hard in Science. I'm so proud of his report card. He did great. His average for the year was all A's and two B's. He also brought up his behavior grades as well.
We aren't sure when Jordan's report card will be coming. We checked Culpeper County's website and it doesn't say when they will be sent home. I'm sure he did great as well. He is worried about his Science grade as well. He said it was hard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Update: We finally got Jordan's grades from his dad. He got all A's and 2 B's. He got the B's in Science and Art. How exactly do you get a B in Art if you do all of your work? I guess Art in Middle School is objective. We're very proud of his grades.

3rd Place Virginia State Scrabble Champs!
Jordan is in the Scrabble Club at school. Their teacher entered them into the Virginia State Scrabble Tournament in hopes of going to the National Scrabble Tournament in Rhode Island at the end of April.
Jordan and his teammate, Courtney, played great and came in 3rd place. The last game that they played, they only lost by 6 points. They missed one word that they could have challenged which would have won them they game. Nonetheless, both Jordan and Courtney were very proud of their efforts and will be moving onto the National Scrabble Tournament in April!!
Congratulations Jordan and Courtney! They will be having a lot more practices after school until April! Not only that, Jordan landed a part in the school play; a remake of High School Musical 3. Jordan is the skater dude in it! Many practices for that as well. Baseball will be starting in March. He's a busy busy guy and doing great in school and keeping up with everything!

Happy Birthday Jordan!
Just a tad late on this on. My baby boy turned 12 on January 23rd. I can't believe he's 12! For the first time, I didn't get to see him on his birthday. He had friends coming over at his dad's. I'm not ready to be *thrown aside* for friends but that time is here so I guess I better get used to it.
Today we celebrated with Oma and Opa. Nothing fancy since it was the Super Bowl and Opa wanted to be home before that started. (Can't blame him. It was an awesome game! Still sad for the Card though.)
Opening his MP3 player
He's learning to play guitar (much to his Opa's delight!). Oma and Opa got him an electric guitar for Christmas so for his birthday, they got him a guitar stand, head phones so he can plug into his amp and rock out, picks, pick holder and a guitar chord sheet.
His big gift ~ think he's a bit happy? He was quite excited because he got to take it to his dad's for his room there. I think Anthony was just as excited about Jordan's gift too.
And the sad little cupcakes I made. The weekend just went by too fast that I didn't really have time to put together something better. There is one candle in the one cupcake and two in the other for 12. Jordan didn't care ~ he was just happy it was chocolate overload!
Happy 12th Birthday Jordan!

Jordan is an Oriole now
Today was Jordan's second baseball game on his new team, the Orioles. His first game was Wednesday night, which they won 8 to 6.
So Jordan started off as catcher. Very interesting to see that as he only played outfield (and not every inning) with his last team. He did pretty good. He just needs to learn to react a little faster.
Suiting up
Having a chat with Coach **He's not mad. He was just so hot. It was in the low 90s and it is hot in all that gear.**
Up to bat
Then Jordan was pitcher. Yes, pitcher I said! He did pretty good. He doesn't wind up and follow through really hard and I think that would help him big time. He'll get there though.
Some videos of his pitching
Jenna and Minnie Mouse
Jasmine and Jacob
They did lose 8 to 6 (must be the theme or something) but they played a good game. He has a game every Wendesday night and every Saturday morning.

Jordan is a Middle Schooler
Yes, you read that right. Jordan is in middle school! My baby!!
Jordan has officially moved with his dad, step-mom and two step-sisters. He's going to school in Culpeper County, VA. He's in the gifted and talented program there as well.
He called me when he got home. He said he had a great day and everything went well. I was so nervous all day waiting to hear from him how it went. Going to middle school is a big adjustment with the lockers, different classes and all. Luckily they only have four classes a day, with A and B days. I think that makes it much easier than trying to shuffle around to 7 or 8 classes a day.
So my baby became a middle schooler today! I wish I had a picture!
Next week, James and Jasmine start school.

Jordan's weekend with Opa
Jordan and Opa both love going to museums in DC. They both love space, science, history and all those kinds of things. Over the summer, Jordan asked Opa if just the two of them could go into DC to check out the museums. They had a blast. Here are the pictures they took.
On Sunday, they went to another museum near Dulles Airport that has all different kinds of planes, etc.
I think they are going to be making this an annual excursion!

The Muckdogs are the 12U Champs!!!
That's right! We beat the Rangers tonight 6 - 3!!!! It was an intense game and the Muckdogs did it. They won it all!!! Jordan actually nailed it into the outfield at the end of the game although it was caught. It was still amazing to see him hit that ball that way. Everyone was screaming and cheering for him! I don't think he's stopped smiling since that hit.
Go Muckdogs! Way to go!
Afterward the game, the coach took all the boys to Outback to celebrate!!! Thanks for a great season Muckdogs!

A long, hot and great weekend
Well we went from winter to summer! I personally love the heat. I'd much rather be hot than cold.
Saturday morning started out at 8 am at the baseball field. Jordan had a play off game at 9. We had a big cooler full of cold water and Gatorade and we were all sunscreened up. They played against the Rangers, which is a really rough team. They won! They beat them 7 - 5. Jordan played a good game. He's really coming along. We are now in the Championship game Wednesday night. If we win, the Muckdogs are champs. If we lose, it goes to Thursday night.
After Jordan's game, we went and picked up James. We took him to his football games. They won both games. The first game was really great. The second game was even better. James was captain of the second game which I think is why he scored two touchdowns!! He did great. Jamie gave him some great tips at the one game he was able to make and you can tell he remembers them. It was a great season.
Here is James out doing his captain duties before the game
Then we came home and vegged out. The kids wanted to go to the pool but I told them I think we all had had enough of the heat for one day.
So that leads to Sunday. I did a little grocery shopping in the morning and then after lunch, we went to the pool. We only lasted about two hours though. I burned my legs pretty bad on Saturday but didn't want to miss out on going to the pool with Jamie and the kids.
Jacob and Jenna played some in the baby pool
Jenna looking for the ice cream man
Finally the ice cream man came!
When we got home, Jamie fired up the grill. He grilled burgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob! YUMMY! After that, the kids had more ice cream. I had gotten these really cool M&M shaped ice creams on a stick. I forgot to get pictures of that. Then they wanted watermelon.
Jordan doesn't like watermelon so he was just being a goofball
It was a great weekend!
This week is going to be another hot and busy week! Jasmine has gymnastics tonight. Jordan has baseball Wednesday and possibly Thursday. I'm getting a DVD player installed in the van on Wednesday. Friday, we are going to the mountains. Saturday, my cousin is getting married and we are going to the wedding. It's going to be a great week!
