Birthday Buddies!

As I mentioned in one of my recent entries Dan and Jordan share the same birthday. We have many fond memories of these two sharing birthdays. Of course, my favorite memory is the original. Jordan not only came on the same day as Dan was born but only minutes away from the same time. What can I say? I tried really hard but some things are just out of our control.











On Jordan's 1st birthday he got a big cake
with one candle and Dan got a little cake
with 28 candles.



















These are birthday's #2 and 3 for Jordan and #29 and 30 for Dan.
Notice anything interesting? Yep! Dan had on the same shirt both
years.



















We spent Jordan't 4th birthday and Dan's 31st in
Worthington, Mn. with Dan's folks and his younger
sister Melanie.















Here is one of a few birthdays that we
celebrated at a Kernals Game!
This one is in 1997! Dan is 37 and J is 10!

















Dan and Jordan have blown out a lot of
candles together.



















This was a fun birthday. Mr. Conn was Jordan's teacher
on Wednesday nights at church. Mr. Conn also shares Dan
and Jordan's birthday so we had him and the entire
class over for a great game of dodgeball. When we added
up the total years to all 3 birthdays it came out to be exactly
100! That was cool! The year was 1999. Can you guess how
old Mr. Conn was?

















We celebrated Jordan's 13th and Dan's 40th at
Grandma's house in Manilla! I would say that
Dan had a little too much cake but as you can
see the cake hasn't been cut yet. I don't know
what got into him.















Three years later Jordan has the giggles.















In 2005 we were in DesMoines watching softball
games. Our hotel room had a moose in every room
and Jordan got quite attached to his. I'm sure that
was the idea! Get people loving the moose and they
will buy it for their child. Sorry! All Jordan got
was a picture. Uncle Mark joined us to celebrate
Jordan's 18th and Dan's 45th.













And that brings us to 2007! Jordan is 20 and
Dan is 47. The time has gone so fast. My little
baby boy is a 20 year old man. And my hubby
is...well he's...um 47.

Hey Jill! Did you forget to notice the hair. It has thinned out over the years. But you are right. He is still the same hot guy I married 24 years ago!
