My two girls

If I'm being honest, Jordan tolerates Carter some of the time. Occasionally, Jordan will offer to play with Carter, or she will watch Mickey Mouse with her, but usually she would rather hang out alone. Carter, on the other hand, loves trying to do everything Jordan is doing. Lucky for me, last night Jordan was in a generous mood, sort of. While Jordan was playing Wii, Carter came in the living room and just started watching and laughing and having the best time. It made me so happy to see my girls hanging out together, until of course, Carter messed Jordan up, then she was done tolerating her. LOL

She so loves her sister!

Jordan doing the yoga tree pose, and Carter copying her. Have I mentioned how much Carter LOVES Jordan.

She had to be on the board with Jordan. Shortly after this Jordan fell off the board, causing her to get 2nd place and "It was all Carter's fault!"

Whoever thought that a 10 year old could not argue/blame a 2 year old was sorely mistaken!

Jordan's 10th birthday!

So Jordan's actual birthday isn't until Tuesday, but you can't have sleep overs on a school night! Also, she has an All City Choir concert on her actually birthday, so this weekend it was! This year Jordan wanted to have a few friends over for a sleep over, so that's what we did. Her friends came over, had some pizza, and a chocolate chip pizza for dessert. They played games, put on tattoos, played with balloons, and had a blast. Let's just hope that I survive the weekend!

Opening presents. I decided today that we would get her a new bike, but when asked numerous times all she said she wanted was a gift card so she could buy stuff to put in a care package to send to Africa! How my heart melts for my kind hearted girl!

Blowing out the colored flame candles on her chocolate chip pizza!

Playing with balloons. Who knew that 4th graders would enjoy the balloons as much as the 2 year old!

Still playing with balloons!

Too hard not to include my favorite 2 year old. I can tell you, it is really hard to be 2 when your sister is 10! All she wanted to do was play with them!

Carter's 2nd birthday!

Rather than try and catch up for the last 5 months that I have been a horrible blogger, I've decided to just start fresh and post about my girls' birthday! January 31-February 27 is a very busy time in the Wommack household. Carter's birthday is January 31, Jordan's is exactly 3 weeks later on February 21, and Jim's is on February 27! Plus, our favorite sister/aunt is February 12! Needless to say those 4 weeks are jam packed with stuff. To start the birthday season off, we had a Minnie Mouse themed birthday for our favorite 2 year old, Carter! A friend of mine blogged 20 things about her daughter on her 18 month birthday, and I am totally going to steal the idea, then include some pictures!

1. Carter absolutely LOVES her sister. She would spend every minute with her, if only Jordan would allow it.

2. On the other hand, Carter can totally kick Jordan's butt. I have no doubt that my sweet angel will be able to hold her own as she gets older.

3. We have finally started talking! I was a little worried about our lack of conversational skills at 18 months, but she has definitely blossomed since then. She says lots of things that I cannot understand, but she says lots of things that we can understand.

4. Mickey Mouse is the best thing ever! We DVR it in the living room, and we have several DVDs of Mickey. She can even sing the theme song and do the hot dog dance.

5. I'm pretty sure we have an athlete on our hands. She can throw a ball, likes to kick the ball, and loves to run.

6. She loves to dance! There is no type of music that she doesn't enjoy.

7. There is a word we are very careful in using in our house; the word is GO. Whenever she hears this word, she is ready to go.

8. Carter LOVES going with her daddy. We recently got a second car seat for his truck, and she frequently tells us she is going in daddy's truck.

9. She has no patience! While stopped at red lights, she will say "move truck".

10. She loves her dogs! Jake provides lots of entertainment with his energy, but she loves Cy because he will sit and let her love him.

11. She is the world's best eater! I can honestly say I do not know of anything she will not eat. I truly think this proves that you can be born a picky eater.

12. She really has no desire to go "potty". It is not for lack of trying, but she is just as content to wear a diaper.

13. Even though when asked who she loves, she responds "Daddy" when it comes down to it, Mommy is who she wants.

14. She loves having her picture taken. Whenever she sees the camera she says "cheese!" and squinches up her eyes and nose.

15. She is not very fond of snow. As luck would have it, in her short 2 years of life she has probably seen more snow than Jordan has at one time, than Jordan has in 10 years, and she doesn't care for it at all.

16. She has absolutely no fear. There is nothing that she will not do.

17. At two, she is already well aware of how iPods, iPhones, and iPads work. It is scary really.

18. She loves to read books!

19. She gives the best kisses and hugs!

20. And maybe the best thing, she enjoys sleeping!!!

Now for the adorable pictures!

Enjoying Minnie Mouse cake!

To prove how much she loves Mickey/Minnie, she got two of these!
