For anyone who’s been living under a rock, Jordan got her braces off yesterday!  She wore them for 19 months, from January 19, 2009 to August 18, 2010.  Today her teeth are perfect and she looks even prettier than ever.

 

We really wanted to make a big day out of it, so I took a half day at work.  After Jordan’s orthodontist appointment, we bought some Swedish fish so that Jordan could eat something sticky and chewy without her braces.  Forbidden candy, at last!  Then we took a pizza to Simon’s office where the three of us ate lunch together.  To top it off, Jordan I went to see the premier of the movie, “Vampires Suck.”  We ate popcorn, drank about a gallon of Coke Zero, and laughed our butts off!  The movie was ridiculous and funny in an “Airplane!” kind of way.  Very cheesy. 

 

Of course I took some video of the event.  The video will take 2 to 3 minutes to download, so be patient and check it out!

Follow this link to see a short video that I took with my IPhone of all the kids during our camping trip this weekend at Lake McMurtry.  We camped with Randy and Jill Wick and had a blast.  Angie was not able to go since she was attending the Greek Festival in Mississippi.

Today was the first day of middle school for me! It seemed alot of fun! Today we just took a tour and the teachers talked alot! I am in band and I am playing the clarenet! I am exited to be playing the clarenet! It will be alot of fun! Today we got to try to open of lockers,but i could not open my lock. I had to get help from many teachers. After school I goit to go to my freinds house for a robotics team and build a lego bridge and some little towers. It was alot of fun! At the middle school,we get to order our school supplies and the give you them so we dont have go school shopping! It saves use time and money(I think). Well I am going to wrape this up with a goodbye!

The girls, Angie and I went to Grove to see Angie's mother Jimmie and her husband bill.  While there Josie caught a White Bass in Grand Lake.  I took this video with my new IPhone.  While in Grove I played 19 holes with Bill at Patricia Island Gold Club....

On March 22, 2009 Simon, Jordan, Josie and Joshua began a concrete project to replace a sidewalk.  We had a good time working together and the girls really impressed me with their determiniation to work hard.  We are not close to pouring concrete since excavating the concrete was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  The concrete was up to 12 inches thick in some places. I divided the clips into two files to make it easier to download.

Today, Jordan had braces put on her teeth by Dr. Coffey in Stillwater.  Jordan has wanted and needed braces for a while and we are very happy that she has them at last.  Follow the links below to watch video of Dr. Coffey putting braces on Jordan and the final result....  I split the videos into two different files for easier downloading.
