Shane's Graduation
Joshua and Shane
Thursday, July 07, 2005
My brother and his wife have inspired Shane and I to do a little better at keeping in touch with our friends and family. We have created this "blogger account" where we plan on periodically posting pictures of our family and writing short updates on our family's activities.
So, now for a quick update. Our family is living in Visalia, California for the summer. This is our third summer in California and again we are loving it. This summer has been especailly fun because we have Shane's brother Chad and his wife Ginger living close by, as well as my sister, Kirsten.
Shane has been putting in many long and hard hours for Elite Sales. Yet, we have found many opportunities to do fun things as a family. The highlight of our summer so far has been our trip to San Diego. There we met up with Shane's parents, Jay & Leah and family, Alisa & Wilson, and family, and Chad & Ginger. We had a ball on the beach and at Sea World. Jacob had an especially fun time with all his cousins and continues to talk about Rennan, Kelson, Eric and the "other Eric" (he could never remember Ethan's name and finally resorted to calling him the "other Eric").
Jacob recently had his third birthday. We had a little party for him in the morning with some friends and family. The highlight of the party was the pinata, which had to eventually be broken by Shane with his hands (after he broke the stick trying to bust the thing open) because I put a couple too many layers of paper on it. Still it was a hit. I have never seen Jacob eat so much candy so quickly. He could have cared less about the cupcakes and the presents. All he wanted to do was to eat candy. He seemed to recognize the novelty of the situation. For his birthday dinner he requested hot dogs and french fries. I think it took him a week to recover from all the junk he ate. But hey, you only turn three once, right?
