It's Update Time!!!

If you haven't noticed, it has been over a month since we updated Jordan's blog. Because we feel badly about that, we have tried to make up for it with a multitude of new posts. How many new posts, you ask? EIGHT NEW POSTS, to be exact, which is more than this page can hold. So if you want to see all of the latest and greatest in the life of Jordan, you'll have to click some of the links under the "August" tab on the left-hand side of the screen. Enjoy!

The next Tiger Woods???

After watching this video, you may come to the conclusion that right now he looks more like the next Marian Gaborik... Either way, he loves sending that golf ball flying around the house!

Guitar Hero

Another thing Jordan really likes to do is play his guitar. After watching Mom play hours of Guitar Hero (okay - after watching Dad play hours of Guitar Hero...), Jordan is practicing up for when it will be his turn.

Little Einsteins

We really try to guard Jordan's TV watching and don't let him watch much. However, when we need a brief reprieve (or if we just really need to get something done), we have found that there are few things Jordan likes better than the TV show, Little Einsteins. This clip shows Jordan participating in his favorite part of the show - BLAST OFF!

Splish, Splash!

While we were in Fairmont for the Relay for Life, there were numerous rain showers and Jordan had a blast splashing around in it!

Story time

Jordan loves to read and he loves animals - here's a video of him reading his favorite animal book!

Life is Good!

We have had so much fun with Jordan over the past several months. Trying to capture all of the fun with words would be difficult, so hopefully the plethora of pictures below will give you some glimpses of the joy that Jordan brings to us on a daily basis.

Relay for Life

Near the end of July, we had a special weekend down in Fairmont as we participated in the Relay for Life. For those of you who don't know, Matt's Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. After successful surgery, Dad is cancer-free and the Relay for Life was both a celebration and a memorial for those families touched by the devastating effects of cancer.

Jordan (along with everyone else) had a special shirt made up to wear at the Relay, and was very proud of his Grandpa. While Jordan didn't stay up all night for the relay, he stayed long enough to walk a few laps and see all of the cool luminaries that lined the track.

I love you Grandpa!

4th of July

This year, we spent the Fourth of July in St. Cloud with the Hansons. Jordan had such an action-packed, exciting day that he was quite exhausted by the time it was all over. The day began with a parade in St. Joseph - it was Jordan's first parade, and he enjoyed watching it with his cousins and he really liked seeing Grandpa and Uncle Joe in the tow trucks.

After the parade, we barbecued at Grandpa and Grandma's house before going to the fireworks in St. Cloud. Even though it was overstimulating (and well past his bed time), Jordan still seemed to enjoy the show. Jordan was proud to sport the red, white, and blue, and loved all the time he got to spend with family!
