I miss Kelly with her beauty and all her talents. I love you Kelly!, and the Bub, who has more childeren to add to the brood! We will miss you all more now.

So I will ask you Kelly, Julie and Rebecca...

IS GEORGIA ON YOUR MIND?

The Yello Daisy Festival that Valerie have a booth at next year to sell her creations to all those lucky enough to get them!

Well its that time of year again!

We all had a blast at this year's Yellow Daisy Festival! The Jordans were a fun addition to our group and were brave enough to face the massive crowds and heat!

The kids(above) were enthralled by a clogging dance crew.

Joseph was happy to see all the cool crafts!

So were Summer and James...

and Jordan and Dad...

And so would you have been!

Oh Beglaham,,,,

Just a few words on my Jacob, I feel like I do not say enough. His heart is so full of love and is very devoted to his family. He is so patient with Jordan...he can discern whatever she needs and will take however long it takes to figure out why she is crying. Jacob is the heart of the Kotter kids, is Christian's best friend, and an a great example to his younger sliblings. Second only to his ability to love others is his knack for negotating! When he is an adult, he is sure to take the world by storm. He loves science and the world aournd him. He rarely stays still so I can take his picture! Thanks Jacob for being the coolest kid around!

and then she's two...

Jordan turned 2 on August 28th. WOW. My baby girl is two. I am so happy that she came to our family. She brings such love and life to the us. What a blessing she is. Her birthday was unique from all the kids birthday we ever had in our house...it was girlie and I loved it! It all started with a gift sent from Arizona....

Jordan was so happy to get her birthday present...it took her a good twenty miuntes to go through what she was given...

Aunt Val sent her a Valeire Bayless orginal...a virtual corture two year old outfit...When I put it on the first time...I thought that she would never be cuter than the day she turned 2.

A photo shoot...every girl needs one on her birthday!

THANKS AUNT VAL...SHE WORE IT ALL DAY AND LOVED IT!

After getting all dressed up...Jordan went on a date with dad! She made a good friend with the boy in the right corner...can you find him?

Later that night it was PARTY time!
Of course we had to have a YO GABBA GABBA Party!

We put on our favorite show tunes and boogied way into the night...like to about 8:30!!!

Even though they may not admit to it...all the kids loved the Gabba songs and often had requests...even Jace and Christian!

Azure Razzale-Dazzled us with her pink robe and awesome dance moves!

Joseph looked at DJ lance for some dance instruction.

Jenna loved to dance with her balloon creations

Jace is so good...he should join the show!

Don't we have it good?

The highlight of the party was the CAKE it was a show stopper! Aunt Summer made the evening AWESOME by making Jordan this razzle dazzle cake.

Jordan loved the cake more than anyone. As soon as Aunt Summer brought the cake down she started taking some shy tastes.

She was thrilled to find that she could! In fact we had to eat the cake before any of the dancing because she just had to have it. THANKS AUNT SUMMER!

What a perfect day!

THE RAIN GUTTER REGATTA!!!

Christian's named his boat the "USS PHLEPS" and it stayed true to its name: it won every race! (All the other scouts were happy to hear that this was Christain's last regatta!)
Jace's boat "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" frightened the other competitors as it raced by!

Jacob's "The Olympain" was awesome in the water!

WHAT A RACE!

The the crowd in the stands were thrilled at the high level of play...or at the very least tried to pay attention!

We all had a fun night!
