Today we had a Popsicle and Pool Party to kick off the start of summer. J still has 3 days of school left but the timing was just right to welcome summer TODAY! It was a BEAUTIFUL day here and the pool was FABULOUS! Jordan had a really nice turn out 8 friends from school and church. The kids had a great time splashing and swimming and laughing and screaming their butts off! Here are some pics for your amusement! ENJOY!
These are the invites Jordan and I made

so the party was a success. I love having Jordan's friends over. I love hearing them laugh and scream and have a great time and i REALLY love hearing, "Jordan your mom is totally cool" and hearing Jordan say, "yeah, i know, she really is!" and then look at me with her huge smile. She must have told me thank you a million times today. As we knelt for her bedtime prayers tonight she thanked Heavenly Father for "a super awesome day and for HolleeAnn as one of her moms." My heart is swelling!!

I can't IMAGINE why kids would say you are cool...HA!! I'm certain it is something Jordan's friends will be saying for many, many years to come!!!
Tonight in my prayers I am going to thank Heavenly Father that you are one of Jordan's mom's also. Because I love your family and every time I get to read about how much you love her it puts a smile on my face.
Wow! I love the invitations and it looks like you had a fabulous party. And lucky Jordan....... only 3 more days of school. Hope she enjoys the break.
You ARE the coolest Mom! What a great idea! Loved the invites. I also love that stage around Jr. High when the girls are all at such different stages - from tiny to TALL! So cute!
My heart is swelling as well! You are one of the MOST AMAZING mom's I've ever met! Jordan is SO LUCKY to have you and the blessings you bring into each others lives is priceless! What a truly fun day!
Hi there! Back again. I can't remember how I first found your blog - it was a while ago. Remember the survey you had up - to do with comments? It was around then. You were nice enough to come over and leave a comment on mine as well.
But today I saw your post on Debbie's. I recognized the picture but not the name to go with it. So I just popped over to take a peek.
And I realized that it's been a while since I stopped and read....... and even longer since I commented. Ooops.
Sooooooo...... love the new look. And Jordan must be on year round? 'Cause we still have 3 weeks to go before we are out....... and my boys are counting each and every day. :)
that little girl is so lucky to have you!!
and...what a great party! wish i was invited ;)
i have officially moved blogs. if you would like, i will email you with the new url!
xoxo
SO EXCITING! what a fun day and fabulous memories you've helped her make! super fun idea. and love the invites. CUTE CUTE!
Once again...you are a fabulous mommy.
That post made me tear up. I can only hope my kids feel the same way about me in 10 years!
Okay- seriously- my heart- totally swelling up too! That is awesome. I am convinced- we are getting a pool so that Ashlyn can have her friends over when she is older and I can hopefully be a great mom like you! (Riley too! I don't mean to leave him out- it just seems farther away from him since he is so little!) I do like the idea of my kids and their friends hanging out at our house where I know what they are doing, etc.
You are a great mom!
Looks like fun! I really wish we had a pool, totally jealous.
you are SO the greatest mom!! Those were the coolest invitations ever - toooo cute.. Jordan is so lukcy to have you!!
Aww...you know, HolleeAnn -- THIS is the place I go to when I want to read about unconditional love. A reader can just FEEL the love you have for Jordan pouring through the computer screen.
You are one happy household way out yonder!
Looks like a BLAST!
I so love pool parties...so you are lucky you didn't show me your address, I would have showed up with goggles, flippers, a float, and all!lol! J/k!
Looks like so much fun and you are a super cool Mom!
dang...we need a pool so we can have parties like that. My kids would be in heaven!
Goodness, I'm late to the party again! Looks like everyone had a great time. Jordan is so sweet. You two are very lucky to have found each other.
Looks like a great time! I love helping the kids make fun invitations for their parties . . . and I love when they have friends over. So often I hear people say things like "We had people over AGAIN!" with a big sigh . . . I LOVE having people at the house. You only live once, right? Life's too short not to share it with your friends and family :-)
:) Awww.
Of course you are a cool mom!!!
Fun =)
That looks like so much fun!!!
Very lucky girl that Jordan. I love the invitations.
"Your cup runneth over!" That is so sweet. I hope that someday we have the "cool" house that all the kids hang out at and that someone will think that I am a cool or fun mom! Your great. I still LOVE that you play games after dinner every night. I just love how you spend so much time together and that you all get along so well. That says alot for you as a parent. Good job.
