It's Miley!!!

Jordan's grandparents gave her 4 tickets to see Miley Cyrus in concert for her birthday! She invited her BFF Emma, my mother in law and ME! The way that my awesome MIL got the tickets was sooooo smart. She got the girls 2 seats in front of us and we were able to watch them dance and rock out with Miley...seriously, THEY were our entertainment. The concert was really very good. Miley puts together a pretty fantastic show and the girls were on their feet the entire concert swaying to the slow songs and jumping around to the upbeat stuff, singing along...and SCREAMING!

Here they are ready to get on the road...we got them out of school early in order to get fully glammed. It was SO MUCH FUN to style these girls...the hats, the off the shoulder 80's goodness and the colored hair extensions...and SERIOUS bling!! There were some pretty FAB outfits at the concert but the girls got LOTS of compliments on their styles...yep, they rocked it!

BFF Rockin' Cuteness! Jordan Stylin'!
Emma Rockin'!!
READY TO ROCK!!

A few videos...lots of screaming...consider yourself warned but I HAD to post the pure JOY coming off these two adorable girlies...we were pretty high up (still GREAT seats) but they acted like they were watching from the front row...FABULOUS!!! (the videos are all short)

It was such a fun night...seeing Miley in concert was one of Jordan's dreams come true. Thank you to my fantastic in laws for being such incredible grandparents and making J's dreams come true...you guys truly are BIG magic makers in her life...WE love you!

BFF Sleepover

It had been a while since Jordan had a sleepover so she decided to have her BFF Emma over a few weekends ago. First thing on the agenda was swimming...and laughing...and goofing around.
second was PIZZA...and laughing...and goofing around
Once the girls were showered and in the pajamas it was time for a little "Sleepover Spa" time. This is sort of a tradition with these two...from their very first sleepover (waaay back in 2006 before i was blogging) till now I have been their personal pamperer....proof HERE , HERE and HERE and once they did makeovers themselves HERE, sunflower delight
facials and pedicures...yes I do it all people...lucky them right?!
gotta love a little confetti soap....faaaaAAAaaancy
the next day we went to the mall for a few accessories for the Miley Cyrus concert TONIGHT! I of course will take a ton of pictures...I can hardly wait to blog about it...seeing Miley in concert is a "dream come true" for Jordan she is after all "her biggest fan, you know?" Thank heaven for Grandparents who love to make a girl's dreams come true...they are the magic makers!

Get It Straight Update!

YES I am behind in blogging...here is the update for Jordan's braces for August (hey at least it is still 2009). As you can see from the July pictures there was a lot of work to be done....
4 weeks later and already some very visible improvement....

She is doing amazingly well taking care of them flossing and brushing like a pro...Big Daddy is in the market for a shiny new shot gun...we are sure we are going to need it when these babies come off! I mean really..she is gorgeous with them...imagine 2 yrs from now! WOWZER!

Birthday Review

Jordan's birthday is Aug 30 and Big Daddy's birthday is Aug 31...on Sept 1 we got together with my in laws and celebrated. A great time was had by all. It was fun to keep it intimate this year. As you know last year was ALL about Jordan's 13th Birthday Extravaganza so this year it was WAAAAAY scaled down...I am thinking we will keep it small until her Sweet 16...she agrees, I am glad.

Jordan "heart attacked" our bedroom door for Big Daddy! She spent a few hours cutting out little pink hearts and writing things that were significant to their realtionship (you can clickety to biggefy for a closer look at the goodness)...a few of my faves are "pals" "sonic happy hour" "daddy daughter dates" "adventures" "special talks" and "bedtime prayers" some of the funny ones that had us shaking our heads and laughing were "dead meat..oh yeah" (the girl loves steak) and "bad eyes" (I guess she thinks its funny/special that she gets her bad vision from her daddy).
The hearts that had us stumped were these 2... did you get that? That's "errand sidekick" (she goes with him E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E) and "half Mexican (him) and quarter Mexican (her)" HILARIOUS!

Anyway that was the sweetest most thoughtful gift and Big daddy loved it...I am certain he will keep those little hearts forever (they are still on the door). Jordan got the idea from a story she loves to hear over and over...when Big Daddy and I were dating I "heart attacked" his apartment it with about 200 hearts and notes...he left them up in his apartment until we got married and moved in together, he still has them. I thought it was sweet that she wanted to do that for her daddy and I was really impressed that she did it on her own and came up with such meaningful sentiments for each heart. No doubt she is a daddy's girl.

Lots and Lots of presents! A new cellphone...she hasn't put it down since.
Who wears it best?
Cake cuteness...
Chevy's deliciousness....
Funny story...I let our waiter know that it was Jordan and Big Daddy's Birthdays. We were busy clapping and singing and I looked over and saw they had brought a sombrero for my father in law too...and he wsn't going to correct them, it came with ice cream, why would he?
these two are total goofs...I mean seriously they take their birthdays VERY seriously...as previously displayed with the cake collage...funny!
and yes...I was there. I need to make more of an effort to hand the camera to someone else now and then...
I am working furiously to catch up on my blogging...more to come...maybe this week, miracle of miracles.

PS...Fishful Thinking is looking for mommy ambassadors...contact me if you are interested...it's an amazing program. Click the fish on my sidebar to check out the Fishful Thinking website....awesome.

Total Gleek!

I have fallen madly in love with the new FOX show Glee. I don't know if it is memories of my own High School years in choir and drama or what. The music is phenomenal, the writing is fantastic and the characters are hilarious. This show was so well casted from the cheerleader's coach (sooooooo funny) to the lazy principal...it is all just fantastic! OH and the music...awesome.

There are lots of versions of this song floating around YouTube but this one is my fave. Amazing. Enjoy.

I have lots and lots to blog about but need to slice out a little time to put pictures and stuff together. We have Jordan and Big Daddy's birthday celebration (we scaled waaaaaay down and kept it just family this year), a trip to Gilroy Gardens, a BFF sleep over, and a Girl's getaway weekend to SF...just Jordan and Me...good times. Stay tuned...
