Miles lost his first tooth!

calling both sets of grandparents to inform them of his news. :)

Miles' 6th Birthday

Miles turned six years old on March 16th. He had VERY specific plans about how he wanted to spend his birthday. He wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese, he wanted a Mario cake, and he wanted a dual action lightsaber for his gift. Luckily, we were able to make all those things happen, and he had a very great birthday. In fact, he declared it his best birthday ever!

I searched and searched for a cute Mario cake that I could make, but everything I found was too complicated. So we got one from the store. He loved it, and that's what mattered!

This picture cracked me up. I had to post it. :)

Jordan trying to pass his love of Porsche to the next generation

Jordan wanted to spend some one-on-one time with Vance(and get him out of Mom's face for a while), so he took him to the Porsche dealership (Jordan's personal heaven on earth) to take some pictures. They tried to do this last weekend, but Jordan got called to work right before they were supposed to leave. Vance was devastated! Luckily they got the chance to do this today, and they had a great time together.

I love the intensity on his face here. He looks like he's taking that Porsche on a very fast drive.

Vance is in training for the 2026 Olympics

The Chair

Remember the old guys on TV sitcoms who have their old chairs that they don't want to part with, even though it's seen way too many years? Well I think Jordan has found his that will be part of our household for years to come.

He found this chair on Craigslist on Friday, and just had to have it. It's from the 1960's, moves up and down, massages, and has a heating feature. He got a great deal on it too.

I'm just not sure how it looks in my living room, but seeing as Jordan has already sold our old recliner, I think the new chair is staying. And, it's just too comfortable too get rid of! I sat in it on Saturday with the intent to just stay for a moment, and it had me asleep in no time! Jordan is completely in love with the thing. He was happy as could be when he relaxed in it after work on Friday. And a happy Jordan is a good thing!

The floors are done!

Our Current Living Conditions

Last Friday Jordan called me from work, and said that he knew something that I didn't. And that I wouldn't find out what is was for a month. (I hate it when he does this!) I kept making guesses about what it could be. Did it have something to do with work, with church, with any of our friends. But, no luck. Later he told me it might just be a couple weeks before I found out the news. Then he told me I would find out the next day.

So on Saturday, Jordan's mom took me and the boys to lunch and a movie. And when I came home, this was the scene that I encountered.

ALL of the flooring on the main level of our house had been ripped out! We are getting all new flooring!!! Our old carpet was sooooooo gross! We are getting a beautiful hardwood floor in the kitchen, and new, nice carpet in the living room(where shoes are going to be absolutely forbidden!). Jordan picked out all the flooring himself, then later took me to the showroom to see what it looks like. The lady that works there said she had never seen any husband do that before! I think he did a pretty good job picking everything out.

So for the last week we have been living on the plywood floor. Not the most exciting thing, but it will be worth it! (He had to rip it out a week early, because that's when he had the manpower to do it. A bunch of the guys from church came to help him.) The new carpet comes tomorrow, and the hardwood floors will be put in over the course of next week. I am so excited to see how this all looks, and I will post lots of pictures!
