Hello again!!!

Well I saw Patti updated her blog and it inspired me to do mine too! I realized its been 2 months since I have said anything! Sorry...

Well... I am back at school, growing a big belly, and loving every spare second I can get with Noah and Jordan. Those seconds seems to be more rare and rare!

Jordan is STILL working his poor little butt off to support us. He is such a great Dad and husband! Soon, I will be able to help him and hopefully it won't be as stressful!(wishful thinking...i know!)

Noah is HUGE and sooo smart! He talks your head off and just makes you smile constantly! It's great. His hair is still bright red and curly for those who haven't seen him in a while... He is kinda in the "mommy mode"...i love it! it's really funny! but soon it will be over and he'll be all about Dada but for now...I'm soaking it all up! lol.

And for those who don't know we are having a little girl! Her name is Sydney Jade (or Jayde)! She kicks more than Noah did I think! Very active little booger! I am now going to doc appt. every 2 weeks so it's coming fast! Sometimes, with the symptoms I have i think she has dropped and then the next minute she's up in my ribs. SO either she is tall(which she got from Aunt Maggie and Uncle Rob) or I just don't have a clue what is going on. Both are VERY possible! Well I think that wraps it up.

OH! CONGRATULATIONS AUNT MAG MAG ON YOUR SECTIONAL WIN!! We love you and are proud of you.

Vacation & Noah's week of Parties...

Hello! We just returned from TopSail Island, NC this weekend. We had a wonderful time and are glad to sleep in our own beds but just wishing our beds were in NC!!!lol Noah loved the beach as did his daddy! We have some wonderful pictures, videos, and memories!! Jordan and I would love to one day move to the beach so bad. So when we do everyone can come visit!!! It's good to have dreams...

And this week is truly very sad... my baby is going to be one on wed! His party is Sunday I hope everyone can make it. And for those who can't I be sure to post pics.

hope everyone is well. Happy belated bday Cassie and I heard your moving back!!!!

Doc Visit!!

Hey I just got back from the doc for one of my many check ups. She said everything looks great and on August 18th we will have another ultrasound! We heard the heartbeat again and it sounds just as strong as Noah's did, so hopefully we will have another one as healthy!!! Also I just wanted everyone to know that Noah turns one in three weeks and to be looking for your invitations about next week. I know it's kind of late to send out invitations but we have been extremely busy are even lucky to get any out!!! See you all soon!

*First Family Zoo Trip*

Hello!!! Today Jordan, Noah and I went to the zoo! It was great. Noah was amazing. Jordan and I were looking around at all of the kids misbehaving and here our 11 month old was being so good! We were proud. He was just the most curious little booger! First we visited the sharks, which you can pet now, and he wanted to jump in with them! And he loved all of the aquariums so much that I think we might be getting him some fish for Christmas or something!! He loved all the animals too! Especially the goats because he got to get down and pet them! And they even had a couple that were his size. He loved the dolphin show even. He sat through the whole thing just watching the dolphins and dancing to the music. There is a picture where he is sleeping in the car after a long hard day at the Zoo. Basically we just had an amazing day!! So amazing that we are going every year from now on!!! My friend Brittney, her daughter, and her boyfriend met us there too. They had a good time too. Jordan and I could never be more proud of anything in our lives than Noah! He is AMAZING!!! and we love him with our whole hearts!!! Enjoy the pics...

Catfish is here...

Hello everyone! Yesterday Noah and I went to Mim's to visit with everyone and had a really good time. I think everyone had fun but poor little Addison who had to go get shots...but i got to take a couple of picutres with Noah and some family. These pictures are much needed! I really need to get on the ball and make sure i have plenty of pics of Noah and some family, sorry everyone! But also Noah and I went back out to the Catfish and helped my mom put up her tent. She is now in the photography business, so she put up a tent for advertising. She is really doing good!!! We also went to the auction for a little bit. There we found out they took Ashley French to the doctor!!! she is due to have a baby on Tuesday so that is exciting too! She was having pains and they promised to keep us updated. I would like to ask everyone to pray for her and her baby too. The doctors think the baby is going to be very big and she might have to have a c section. everyone seemed a little worried last night. This is all saying she hasn't had it yet!!! Well we'll see you all soon and Good luck Courtney and Happy birthday (yesterday) Chris!!

Weekend review

Here are a few pictures from the weekend. We had a good time. My family loved seeing Noah. And Noah loved the fireworks!!!! We enjoyed visiting with Michael and we are looking forward to seeing everyone this week!!

Happy BIrthday Daddy!!!!

Today is Jordan's 22nd birthday and he even gets off work early today!!!! We are heading up to indy when he gets home. Last night we went and visited my brother Michael who is home from the Air Force. He looks great. He is coming up to indy with Jordan and me and Noah today, and flying back out on Monday. Short visit but we haven't seen since Christmas so we're excited. Anyways back to Jordan's birthday... here are some pictures of Jordan and Noah. It's a little present to Daddy from son. We love you J.

Quick review...

Hey! We finally got DSL so here are some new pics of Noah and some family! Noah is now full blown walking! We went to the mall in Bloomington and he even wanted down there to walk. He also rode in his first mechanical car there and he loved it! He loves to feed himself and he just started clapping! he now has 8 teeth! Jordan turns 22 (friday, along with Courtney) and is still working hard. This weekend we are going to Indy to visit our whole family on the Schnadenberg side! I will go to pick up my brother from the airport tomorrow. We haven't seen him since Christmas! It will be fun. And I can't wait to get a Cinnabon there!!! Anyone who knows me knows that I'm in love with Cinnabons! Even though it will probably make me really sick...(this pregnancy doesn't like sweets...) but oh well! Hope everyone is doing great!

Lots of catching up to do....

Man it has really been busy at the Sanders' home lately! I have started working from home, going up to visit my father, my brother graduated, and Jordan is still running his butt off for work, softball, and family life! Tonight was the first chance he had to mow the lawn in like two weeks.... I tried to mow but he is very peculiar about it since he mowed for years with John!!!! And the fun thing is is that it is only going to get busier!!!! Yeah! =)

Noah is now pulling up on EVERYTHING, walking from couch to toys, saying "ma" instead of Momma, and saying "ball" really good. Tonight I let him feed himself applesauce and he dumped it all down his belly. When I tried to help him he yelled at me! Mim got Noah a pool and he LOVES it! So we are looking at getting a little bit bigger one from WalMart for him! This past weekend when went up to my dad's we rode in his golf cart and Noah seriously smiles the whole time! It is soooo cute. He is definately his daddy's son and loves being outside. He is growing up so fast....

Tomorrow morning is our first ultrasound for the new baby! I can't wait to see the little heart beat and hear it! It's so amazing to know that there is another little baby in my belly... I know it will be busy but it will all be worth it! There is nothing more worth living for than for your children. I love being a mom.... Anyways I'm going to put up some new pictures of Noah and the past week and half. I hope everyone is doing good. It's been awhile since we have seen everyone! but hot weather is here so I'm sure we'll all meet up at mim's pool sometime!!!

Friday...woo whoo!!

I missed a couple of days because I was in Indy at my dad's house. Noah and I went to visit and learn about my new stay-at-home job. We had a great visit. Noah was all about Nana(my stepmom) and she was loving it! Noah walked for them and they got to see his teeth and how much he is eating now! They also love his scruchy face! We cooked out, and went to the park, and on the way home Noah and I stopped in Martinsville at DQ for some ice cream. Then we stopped in Bedford to watch Daddy play softball. Noah had a ball in the rocks!!! And when Jordan rode home with us all Noah did was stare at him and smile the whole ride home...it was very sweet!!! He missed his Daddy!

Today we went to visit Mim and Pap. Noah enjoyed seeing them, he always does. And now I am chasing a naked boy around the house! So I better go before he pees....! I hope everyone is enjoying the Friday and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for Rob's big day!!!

Terrific Tuesday!!!

Today is awesome! Me and Noah are home together! And everyone might want to know that NOAH WALKED last night!!!! My mom stopped by and got to see it also! It was cool... I do believe he is very smart=)




The sun decided to come out a bit so Noah and I headed to the park and he loved the swings. He's not so hot about the jungle gym thing yet but I'm sure the time will come when he is! There's not really alot to say today, I just wanted to touch on the fact that Noah walked last night. Also he has 5 teeth now.



I did read Patti's message today and I agree that family is very important! I feel bad for you and my stepmom Selina, you both have graduating boys in the next couple of weeks. I am not looking forward to the day that it comes to our family! But as a mom, I know that all I can do is raise them the best I can and make sure they know and love God. And hopefully when they come to their trials in life(we all know it is bound to happen!) they will turn to God first and Jordan and me second, to help get them through it. And I'm sure I'll need a few of you to remind me of that from time to time when those teenage years roll around!!!lol You both are great mothers though and shouldn't worry, you did good!

Monday....

Well today I had to go to school and Jordan had to go in to work at 4:45 am! Patti watched Noah for us. I found out that I only have one more day of class for the whole summer, so I'm stoked! Just one more day then me and Noah get to be together all summer...hopefully I won't be sick like I know some people get... but I can't wait. I did get a job through my father, working from home. It's just a few hours a day too so it's really just perfect. I can finally help bring in money again!! I feel so bad when Jordan is the only with an income. I will be better when I get my degree and get a job then, that way when I'm gone all day from my children, I'll have something to show for it. Right now it feels pointless!!!

Well I'm trying to put up more pictures but we have dial up at the moment so it takes forever! I want eveybody to get to see Noah since people like Kathy, Gretchen, Cassie, my father and stepmomma, and other family who live so far away don't really get to!

Well Noah is sleeping so I'm going to take advantage of it and do some laundry and other things then lay down beside him! I hope everyone is having a great Monday!

~My life~

Hello! This was super easy to set up...I love it. Well since school is almost out for the summer, (I plan on soaking up every minute with Noah!!) I thought we might not get around to seeing everyone as much so this would be an easy way to keep in touch.

Well I'm sure all of you know by now that Jordan, Noah, and I are having another baby! The baby is due January 14th. The first ultra sound is June 6 and I think we will be able to find out the sex of the baby by the end of August or beginning of September. We are extremely excited! I was really nervous at first about school and everything, but Jordan sat me down and explained how extremely happy he is and that seemed to be what I needed. When you know the one you are with is totally on track, then it just seems to make it easier. Especially with a husband who fights me to bathe Noah and rock him to sleep at night. I couldn't ask for better!!

Jordan is a very good provider for our family. He works very hard and long hours. I have been going to school full time. And Mim and Patti have been watching Noah for us! A huge help... I couldn't have sent my infant to more loving "babysitters" (grandmas) than family.

Here are a few pictures of Noah. He is now crawling, almost walking, eating LOTS of table food, and trying to say things other then "dada"! Time has gone by so quick... I can't wait until the new baby gets here!
