Jordan is growing up....

to fast for mommy.  Today was a huge day in our house......

the first lost tooth.  Which means the tooth-fairy is on her way.  You can see it was more than ready to come out since the new tooth is already half way in behind it.

August

I was reminded last night that I hadn't updated this for quite some time.  Here is my attempt to get everyone caught up on "The Scanlan Adventures".

August brought the first day of Kindergarten for a very happy boy.

A few weeks after the start of school, Jordan announced that he had been watching Mallory at school and could now tie his own shoes.  Look out mom, he is growing up!

During warm weather we love to be outside.  Usually daddy is our  photographer but this time mom turns the camera on him.

September & October

In September we decided to visit Uncle Scott & Aunt Doris in South Dakota.

Halloween time:  Jordan drew out what he wanted his pumpkin to look like and did most of the carving himself.

Jordan & Mom's finished carved pumpkins.

6 years already?

July 23, 2000 --  

I can still remember the day, and I mean an ENTIRE day.  It doesn't feel like it was 6 years ago that Jordan Dale Scanlan entered the world.

Ready to go home.

It is very hard to believe that we are celebrating Jordan's 6th Birthday.

Mommy had to work on Friday but Daddy took the day off and helped Jordan make the birthday cake, complete with frosting.  It wouldn't be a cake for Jordan if it didn't have cars on it.

Jordan's request for a party was to go to Pizza Ranch in Waverly and have Grandma Ann & Papa Steve come with us.  Then afterward we went back to their house for presents and cake.

 

Our 6 year old!

Happy Birthday Jordan!  I hope you always remember that we ALL love you lots.

Self Portraits

For a long time now Jordan has loved to take pictures just like Daddy.  Going through his photos is great, we get to see what he sees and what is of interest to him at that particular moment in time.  One of the things I have noticed just recently is that he loves to take a picture of himself, as if we don't take enough pictures of him already.  So, I decided to dedicate this particular entry in the blog to Jordan's photo skills of himself.

  

  

  

  

I can't help but to laugh at some of these.  He is definately his father's son.

Thanks Jordan for all the laughs and the many more to come.  We love you!
