Jordan's 9th

Jordan loves celebrations, especially her own birthday. 

No way to wrap this present from Kailyn, so she decided to blindfold Jordan instead.

Jordan was so excited.

Had to test it out right away.

Ken asked Jordan what she wanted for her birthday and she said I don't know. So Ken asked what she didn't want for her birthday and Jordan said, "I don't want anything like a pencil sharpener." So what did Ken do? He wrapped up a pencil sharpener for Jordan. As you can see Jordan was thrilled.

Jordan after she realized it was just a joke and it was not her real present.

Present from Grandma and Grandpa Bassett.

So excited for her new bike!

Jordan requested a huge chocolate chip cookie. These four decorated it.

Ava pretty excited about her gift to Jordan.

This year we let Jordan have a friend party. She decided to have a roller skating party.

Random Kids Feb 's

Hannah is 1-2 weeks old in these pictures.

Ava loves to hold Hannah.

Chase enjoying Grandma's i-Pad.

Chase making a swimming pool for his dinosaurs.

Reading with Grandma.

Ava holding Hannah again.

Ava posing. She later put this stethoscope in Hannah's car seat to share it with her.

Hannah loves to pull her hair. I could feel her doing this in the womb (not pulling her hair but putting her hand by the back of her head), it was not comfortable.

No, she does not like having her hair pulled.

We take her hand away and she immediately goes for her head.

She grabs on and pulls again. We eventually had to put little mittens on her (you know the ones that are normally used so babies don't scratch their face) because she just kept pulling her hair.

Chase playing.

Yep, there is Ava. She always wanst to get into the picture.

Caden lost his first tooth. He is not good at this tooth losing business. This tooth was black by the time it came out and then when the tooth next to this one came out it left part of the tooth behind which we had to go into the dentist to get removed.

Jordan and Kailyn adoring their new little sister.

Sisters!

The kids had to create their own Valentine's box. Kailyn wanted to recreate her school.

Kailyn loves her long hair. A month ago when she needed a trim she was quite concerned I would take too much off. So, I was quite surprised when she came home and said she wanted to cut 10 inches off. She wanted to donate it to kids with cancer. The kids' school asked for volunteers to donate 10 inches or more as part of an assembly on Valentine's Day. She quickly decided she wanted to do it.

The before.

Enjoy your hair for a couple more hours.

Getting ready for the cut.

On the count of 3...

And her hair is cut off.

Glad she has a smile on her face, because that is a lot of hair she just got cut off.

The teacher in pink in a breast cancer survivor and the rest are those that donated their hair to make wigs for kids with cancer.

They definitely weren't going for a perfect hair cut. Good thing they gave us a coupon to get her hair fixed for free.

Ava wanted Hannah to sleep on her doll's blanket and pillow she got from Grandma Jones.

Hannah 2 weeks old.

Kaily'sn first experience at the salon. She really like getting her head massaged.

Fixing the hack job.

Caden and Chase started taking Karate this year. They have really enjoyed it. Below are pictures of them getting promoted from white belt to gold belt.

Caden in the middle of the picture looking to the left and Chase on the right side of the picture with his hands by his face.

Caden getting his gold belt.

Kailyn already learning the art of multitasking, doing homework while holding Hannah.

Caden made this card for Ken and me for Valentine's Day. Here is the front.

The inside said, "I love you mom and Dad, love Caden." "PS this for you mom. (a marble) and this is for you Dad (a penny)." The smile on his face as we read it was priceless.

Dad and Hannah.
