Happy Birthday Jeramy!

Today is Jeramy's 28th birthday! We slept a lot today since we were so exhausted from this weekend. We went out to dinner with his parents and Grandma, but that was about as exciting as our day became. Jeramy got a BBQ, a power saw and a Barnes & Noble gift card from them and I got him some necessities (boxers, white T-shirts, work socks), a nice shirt, a framed pic of him and Connor and 2 videos he wanted ("Cowboy Bebop: the movie" and "Akira"). He just loved all his gifts!

Well, this weekend was a blast!!! My whole family came out for Connor's dedication, as well as some of Jeramy's close friends at the surprise party I threw for him after Connor's dedication. I don't think my family has been together since last Christmas! So it was really nice to have everyone together again.

We had Connor's dedication done at our church, Calvary Chapel at 10:30 am. Service lasted an hour and a half, which the dedication was made sometime before the reading of the Bible. My whole family, Jeramy's parents, Grandma, Aunt Carol, John, my friend Corinne (Godmother) and her whole family, Jeramy's friend Sean (Godfather) and Annabelle, my friend Larissa and her daughter Jody were all there to share Connor's special day. Connor looked sooooooo cute in his outfit! It was chilly that day, which is strange weather for up here. It's normally in the mid 80's to low 100's.

Anyways, Jeramy was really surprised to see his friends at his parents house after the dedication. He had no clue at all!!! It was really nice to see everyone, especially his cousin Greg and his family, since we rarely get to see them. I just feel bad that I didn't get a chance to spend time with everyone. I was so busy trying to get stuff organized and trying to spend time with my family since I rarely see them at all as well. Connor seemed to enjoy spending time with everyone, but I could tell he was getting pretty tired from being passed around. So many people wanted to handle him, especially my mom, but I didn't mind 'cause I wanted to mingle and relax anyway. All in all, the party was a true success and I am so happy everyone was there to join us! I was so sad to see my family leave but I shall be seeing them again in a few weeks for my Dad's graduation. He's getting his Master's!

Connor was really tired at the end of the day, and so were we!!! My sister Jessica and nephew DJ stayed an extra night with us, which was nice so that Connor and his cousin can spend some time together. It was soooooooo cute! Connor was lying down playing on his gym mat and DJ kept giving him kisses. I have it all on tape!!! Oh yeah, that reminds me...how upset I was to forget to use the video camera during Connor's dedication!!! Argh!


Oh yeah, we had some major plumbing problems at the house on Saturday night...not too thrilled about that at all, since my sisters were staying with me!!! The toilets were empty and the showers were filled with YUCKY water!!! EWWWW!!! Dad Moen had to come help try to fix it, but alas, to no avail! He had to go over to the house on Sunday during the party to accomodate the plumber...but it's all fixed now so YAY!

Well, I have so much to do...clean the house, do laundry, wash dishes, and sort through all the clothes Connor got this weekend. Jeramy's friends Sean & Annabelle gave us a bag of clothing and my sister Jess gave me FOUR bags!!! I separated them by age this morning but now I gotta decide which ones to keep and which ones to donate, since we don't have space to keep all of them!!! This should be fun though...maybe Connor can help pick them out?!??! We'll see!!!
