Jordan's Birthday!

I cannot believe he is 5 years old!!! He had a fun little party at his grandparent's house. I made the cake. I think it turned out good. And for those who are wondering why it is not a Spiderman cake, as one would expect Jordan would want, he is now going through a Batman phase. He takes it very seriously by the way. He got so many cool toys for his birthday and lot of video games. I'm more practical and got him a coloring book, a shirt, a soft baseball bat and an Incredibles costume (it was only $2 at Target!). The highlight was the Wii that Danielle and others bought him. Needless to say he is really into video games.

The ribbon wouldn't come off this present so all the kids pitched in to help

Cute Pictures

Erin and Jordan Dancing at Taylor's Wedding (Adam's cousin ; Lisa's youngest son)

Don't they look cute all dressed up?!

My favorite picture - ever! They are so cute. They danced together for a long time.... I'll post a link to a video later when I get it uploaded.

Something Funny

Several months ago, Erin decided that she wanted to go to church with Cassandra. After weeks of talking about wanting to go, we decided to let her go. Up to that point, the only experience she had with church was the Trunk-or-Treat at Water of Life in Rancho Cucamonga. She figured that church was a place to get candy, play games and jump in a bounce house. We figured that once she went to "real" church, she wouldn't want to go. Adam and I are definitely not church going people. I can count the number of times I've been to church on my fingers and Adam's experiences with church were of extreme boredom and the start of the most boring day of the week. So, we let Erin go to church with Grandma Sharon so she could see for herself what Cassandra was up to those 3 hours (that's right - Mormon's spend 3 hours on Sunday at church). So, Erin sat through Sacrament and then went into her class for kids her age. Well, she LOVED the class part. Of course Erin wanted to go again. Fortunately for Erin though, Adam's mom rarely goes to Sacrament so Erin just gets to go to her fun little class. I have to say I am impressed with what she comes home with. Her Sunday school teacher is very creative and Erin has learned a lot of good values. She is also gaining some knowledge of the bible....... sort of :) This is where the funny part comes in.
A few weeks ago, Erin came home with a cute little project based off of the story of Adam naming all the animals. Erin came home and told us that Adam named all the animals. We smiled and nodded our heads at her. Well, Saturday at Target, Erin and Jordan were picking up the little realistic model animals and Erin said to Jordan "my daddy named all the animals." She then took an animal to Adam and asked him to name it. Adam said, "it's an elephant" and Erin said, "no... what is his name." Apparently she thinks her Dad gave all the animals first names. What a job that would be! Kids can be so funny, especially Erin.

My sister came down for a visit this last weekend. Jordan stayed at our house too and we had a lot of fun. We made T-Shirts, hats, decorated pumpkins and all sorts of other things, and we made cupcakes and frosting. Yum! We also went to the pumpkin patch. The kids had a lot of fun. There was a petting zoo there and Erin was brave enough to hold a chicken and pet a pig.

Adam's 30th Birthday

Adam turned 30 this year and I planned a surprise lunch for him on Saturday. He had no clue about it but figured I do something. We went to Olive Garden and then a few of us went to the park after since we have kids. Then, we went to Ron and Lisa's coffee shop and the best part, Costco! OK... so we are not the most exciting people but it was still fun! Here are some pictures. They're not the best because I wasn't feeling so well. It also didn't occur to me to take more than I did! Lisa M., you'll need to send me any you took! Thanks to everyone who came to spend the day with Adam!

Kim's New Job

I have a new job! I am now a real estate agent at MGR. They have offices in Victorville, Upland and Colton. I'll probably have orientation next week and I have a LOT of training to go through. When I am done with training, I will be a commercial and residential agent, although I can start selling residential real estate now with the help of a mentor. So, if you're looking to buy or sell a home... keep me in mind! :)
