The Evidence

...of Jordan using the table as a stool to get to the light switch.

Jordan's Guitar Performance

The other night when Mama got home from work, Jordan was playing my guitar. He was so happy and proud of himself. Mama remembered when I first got it for my second birthday.

Princess Tea Party

After I finished painting my mini tea cups I received for Hanukkah, I had a princess tea party.

All my princesses got a spoon, bowl, tea cup and napkin

Fun times!

Eating Daddy's homemade pizza

More January beach time

Last Sunday, it was gorgeous out (again)! We headed to the beach with our kites and friends joined us.

We flew kites

Buried ourselves in the sand

and boogie boarded

Sharing with my Jordan at Starbucks and rocking out to iPhone music

Jordan's boy tendencies??

Jordan LOVES the vacuum cleaner. He has been known to go downstairs in the morning and lead either Mama or Daddy to the closet where the vacuum is. He likes riding it like above or using it. He doesn't let Carmen get ANY work done if he is at home on Fridays. He just wants her to vacuum with him.

He also loves turning things on and off and anything electronic (Ipad, Iphone, electric toothbrush, electric drill (toy) and more). Here he is turning the light on and off while standing on the second shelf of the toy kitchen. Sometimes he is seen on top of the kitchen or on top of the desk. Lately, he uses our little chairs as a step stool (copying me). Mama keeps hiding them so he uses the table instead and just climbs on top of the table....pushes it where he wants to go and then up he goes.

Happy Birthday, Grace!

We celebrated Grace's birthday (Jan 2) a few days late since she had the day off and we needed a night to recover from our visitors!

Rich and his girlfriend joined us for Grace's favorite....sushi and other Japanese food.

Beach Picnic

Before heading out to the beach this morning, Allen made fresh empanadas and we baked some chocolate chip cookies (empanadas were chicken or broccoli rabe pesto sausage). Yum.

Jordan on the other hand, opted for an orange.

We did a lot of

Jordan went flying while we surfed.

And, then he took a rest.

Just before we left the beach, Michael and Jamie buried us!

At home, we tried out my babycake pop maker that Mama got for $3!! They came out delicious.
