Update

Oh how we love this cutie!  Seriously, I know there are a lot of cute kids in the world, but come on, you have to admit this guy is so handsome.  He is walking everywhere and getting in to all sorts of trouble (his favorite things to play with are my phones, the copier, our computers, the toilet, the garbage, the electric pencil sharpener, and the tv remotes).  Anything he can't have, he wants it.  Anything he can't do, we wants to do it.  He is starting to throw little tantrums where we falls over, lays back (very carefully, so he won't smack his head) and starts to cry.  He cries everytime Jack leaves for school and Kent leaves for work.  Not so much because of them, but because they are going outside.  We've also entered that stage where he is taking some tough falls and/or hits.  He's getting confident in his walking and getting around, but has some goose eggs and bruises to show he is still learning.  His official first words or I should say sounds were, "choo, choo" and the monkey sound, "oo, oo, aa"

This is what a California girl does when her mom says, "Jordan, lets go play in the snow!  Go get your snow pants on."  Clearly, she did exactly what I said, but didn't know that snowpants, unlike a swimming suit, go over all your other clothes.  You got to laugh, this was her first time seeing snow since she was one year old. 

Now, this is more like it.  Hitting the beach in mid-January. 

 Jordan's 4 years old!  She had a Minni Mouse party with a few of her friends that were still in town before Christmas. 

 Jack's kindergarten class celebrating Chinese New Year.  He loves school and riding his bike there everyday and I love that he only has 14 kids in his class.  Jordan's learned to ride with no training wheels lately, so now I'm running after the two of them trying to keep up. 

This kid has great hair.  He sported a faux-hawk for a "wacky hair" day at school.  We've been trying to get him to let us cut it for weeks, but he whines that it keeps him warm during the winter. 

As for Kent and I, we are doing good.  Kent has been super busy with work (it's busy season!) but helps me out a ton in the morning getting everybody up and ready for the day.  Ryan's been waking up early lately and Kent takes him most mornings, letting me catch a few more minutes of sleep.  I'm forever busy with the kids, apartment managing, primary, and just trying to have fun every day.  We love California and can't believe we've been here 6 1/2 years now!  Will we stay forever?  Who knows, but I still feel lucky to be here.
