All about Jessica

 
     I am Jessica the oldest daughter of the bunch.  I am married to the man of my dreams, Jordan Squires. We met while in College at Eastern Arizona College.  It was his first semester after his 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Uruguay Montevideo West Mission, and I had just started my 3rd year, I had just started Nursing School. We met through a love of music! It is still one of our number one passions!

     Jordan (26) is my best friend, closely followed by my mom and sisters, and we are still finding out we are more and more alike everyday. We were married in the Snowflake Arizona Temple on December 30, 2011. I married into one of the best families!! We started married life in Thatcher, AZ moved to Safford, AZ then a huge move to Rexburg, ID in December of 2014 and finally moved to Shelley, ID in September of 2015.  Jordan is currently a Insurance Salesman for State Farm Insurance in Blackfoot Idaho. He is taking a bit of a break from school to get settled in this job before starting Business Management hopefully at ISU. He was a Music Major before this so it has been a big change for our family but it has definitely been for the best.  Jordan still absolutely loves music and can play the piano, guitar, ukulele, drums on occasion, harmonica, and really wants to learn how to play the cello! He loves to sing and make up songs, no song has the same words twice. He loves sports with Basketball being his favorite! He loves watching movies and watching funny youtube videos, his favorite is Studio C and Dude Perfect. He loves being outdoors, although winter and snow is a new thing for him. Jordan grew up in Yuma, AZ and swears we will live there someday.  Not if I can help it though, way too hot for me! He is the best dad, all children love him!  He is goofy and makes me laugh everyday even though he thinks that is hard to do.  He has one joke and mixes up the first letters of words to see what funny things he can come up with.  I have found that I do it on accident all the time now!  He helps me relax and find the joy in life, I seriously love him!!

     David is our adventurous 2 year old boy. He was born Sept. 11, 2013 (9-11-13, I think that is cool)  in Safford, AZ. He made us parents and I love him for that! He is smart, funny, and gets into everything! He loves books, robots, dinosaurs, Spiderman, legos, Little Einsteins, and most recently Rio 1 or 2 doesn't matter. He loves learning and could have me quiz him on letters and numbers all day long!  He just started potty training last week.  He had 2 days of no accidents, I bragged and then he had 3 accidents that day. But really he is doing great, Spiderman underwear are his favorite! He knows no strangers, which scares me, but he really is just super friendly.

     Lizzie, Elizabeth, is our little girl!  She was born Feb. 24, 2015 in Rexburg, ID. She is our little sweetheart. I can't believe in just one short month she will be a one year old. She loves to do whatever David is doing, or at least be really close and watch. She loves her baby dolls and give them kisses all the time.  She loves to eat and has rolls to prove it! She can walk, tries to sing, and loves trying to make animal noises (although most of them sound the same).  Don't be fooled though she knows how to get her brother in trouble already, she loves to scream when he takes something or gets too close. They love having screaming contests! She hates having her hair done or getting dressed.  She is a momma's girl though and is terrified of new people.

     Lastly me (25)! I grew up in Snowflake, AZ.  I graduated with my Associates in General Studies as well as an Associates Degree of Applied Science in Nursing at Eastern Arizona College. I am an RN and have worked in long-term care, TCU, and a Rehab unit.  After Jordan got his job with State Farm we decided that it would be best if I stayed home.  It really has been for the best!!  I love getting to be home with my children.  It has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, but I finally have embraced it! I do work from home as an Independent Consultant for Usborne Books & More.  It is such a fun job and I love their books! My MIL actually got me started with it and it has been a great thing to have something for us to do together. I love to read books!  I have a goal to read at least 1 book a month this year.  It will most likely be more than that.  Jordan and I love going to the Library and finding new books or series. I love music!  I play the piano and kind of the cello. I love to sing and dance, my kids get to see that a lot. Life is just better with music.  I get through the day when I put on some smelly good wax and some great music!  I love being outside and can't wait for it to be Spring here.  I love going on walks and hiking.  Nature is my favorite place. I love trying to be crafty, although I am much better when I am with my mom and sisters. I love crocheting because I can redo it as many times as I want! I have tried sewing but it scares me, I will concur it though. I struggle with the everyday of cleaning although I am getting better.  I function better when I have a clean house but I hate having to actually clean it. I enjoy doing hair and am sad Lizzie hates it when I try to play with her hair. I like to cook and bake.  I am horrible at following recipes, I like to make them my own, or mostly I want to make something but don't always have everything I need. I am on a journey to figure out what I like mostly fashion wise.  I am horrible in that area but mostly because I am scared to be my true self where others can see me. I want to figure out how to be myself with out the worry of wondering what others think.  I am learning to love myself and that is a great thing!
