Free mineral makeup

I love mineral makeup. I think it makes your skin radient! I have actually tried a few different brands...My sister told me about everyday minerals and I decided to try them because there were free samples!! Seriously. Go to the everyday minerals website, click here, and then under the makeup tab click on "custom kits," Then scroll down until you see "Free Sample Makeup Kit" Then you click "add to cart." It gives you instructions on what to do, but basicially you just drag the foundation colors to want to the cart (you get three!!) to ensure the right color!!and choose your blush and concealer, and then all you pay is shipping.

The makeup is great!! It's coverage is better than Mary Kay and is really similar to Bare Essentuals. But, it is a lot less expensive!! The brushes are cheaper and everything. Have Fun!! I love the makeup!

Christmas Jammies

One tradition we have in the Jordan household is Christmas Jammies...we try to do themes...themes form the past are Boise State Jammies, Eddie Bauer Jammies and Scrubs...(more recent years we have tried to keep with a theme of what is happeneing in our lives) This year we chose JOHN DEERE...this fits us perfectly!!! I decided to make us all matching pants...they were super easy and really cute!!!!!

"Raise Your Hand If your Sure"

Do you remember that old "sure" deodorant commercial? This is what Isaac does at meal time, towards the end when he has eaten alot (usually more than Will)

Our Christmas Tree

We've actually had our Christmas tree up for a while...but it has taken forever to get the pictures up and running...and the tree...

Tree #1

Yes, tree #1. I decided to do a gingerbread man tree this year. I made real gingerbread men, felt men and scrapbook paper men. I found cool courderoy (sp) ribbon and I even strung cranberries. I was proud of the results. Then...Isaac and Will pulled it down TWICE!!! yes, TWICE!!! and the second time the the stand was ruined and could no longer stand on its own. It lais agianst the walls for a few days until I found a solution...Our friends gave us a new tree. Thankfully this one has a more sturdy frame...and we gave it extra reinforcement...

Tree #2

It is basically the same...it just has no cranberries...I think they really added something...

And in case you missed the reinforcements...

And even closer...

Yes, it is Hooked to the ceiling...but Its been up for a few days and hasn't fallen yet...YEAH!!!!

Merry Christmas

Are we Family?!!?!?!

I always looks at Isaac and think...'he doesn't look like Will...they look so different,' then, I looked at the old pictures and you can judge at how wrong I am....

will.........isaac (10 months)

Here are some other look-a-likes...

my dad and me

will and I

will and me again

Poor Adam...he doesn't really look as much like the boys (as I do), he does look like his father they have the same "cute little nose"...and I don't have any of those pictures...I thought with the red hair and all, I would have the less dominant genes, who'd have thunk!!!

FAMILY PICTURES

We finally got our pictures taken. Isaac's weren't my favorite, thankfully, we have a lot of other ones. Will's were adorable...and the family one, well, it was the only one I didn't look 1000 lbs in. But on further observation, I think I look like I have a large gap between my teeth. Hopefully they won't be printed like that...if not I'll need new family pictures.
