SMU Homecoming – Jordin’s first SMU game

Yesterday was SMU homecoming, so I took Jordin with me so he could see his first Mustangs football game.  He was so excited to wear his new SMU shirt and go to the “party” before the game…

 
of course, we had to hit the bounce house…

when we helped my friend lower his canopy when it was game time, Jordin thought it was awesome that we made it kid sized…

he thought it was “wicked” that the band spelled out SMU on the field

 
Jordin wanted a souvenier, so we got him a clapper

 
Jordin took a picture of me and my friend Jason, who I’ve known since high school

This was the first place float in the parade, and on the way out, the sorority girls were taking pics with it – and Jordin asked if he could get a picture on it

Field Trip Awesomeness

Jordin’s kindergarten class took a field trip to Owens Country Farm in Richardson on Friday, and I got to go along as one of the chaperones.  The kids had a blast and didn’t want to leave when it was over.

The guys REALLY didn’t like the smell downwind from the animals…

They got to take a hayride around the little farm pond…

and everyone LOVED the scarecrow on the tall chair

  
every kid got one cup of “Oats for the Goats”

the longhorn was a huge hit

a nice class portrait…

 
and a funny one…

all the kids got to go into the pumpkin patch and pick a pumpkin

there were tons of pumpkin stems on the ground… i couldn’t resist…

all the kids wanted a picture by the “hay spider”

all the boys were being strong and lifting their pumpkins up…

Protecting the Bakugans with a death grip…

So Jordin fell asleep on the way home the other night, and we snapped a picture cause it was awesome how he still had a death grip on his Bakugan case…

Halloween Party at RJ’s

Jordin was at his dad’s this Halloween, so Ash and I were just going to stay home and watch movies… but then we got invited to RJ’s party, and since he’s always got great food at his parties, I convinced Ash we should stop by…

And cause I didn’t want to break my streak of awesome Halloween costumes, I rushed over to Walmart and threw together a costume… I know all of my ese’s and vato’s in the barrio would have been muy impressed with my cholo costume…

And even after a long break, I was still able to school come homeys in beer pong…

Cause it’s hard to avoid a big wall…

For those of you who didn’t see the posts we made on Facebook – on Halloween night, some lady in our condo complex got a little intoxicated and lost control of her car…

Obviously, she wasn’t following the posted speed limit…

Luckily, no one was hurt – she scared the poop out of the poor old couple who lived here though… When they came outside to see what happened, she stumbled out of the car and said “the car had a mind of its own” – and when the cops got here, she said she only had 2 glasses of wine…  The old lady who lived there told me that she was so drunk she could barely stand up – but since it happened on private property, the cops couldn’t arrest her…

They sent out 5 different tow trucks before finally sending out a flatbed tow truck AND a crane… they ended up having to lift the front and shove the flatbed under the back to get it off the wall…

Pumpkin Carving Awesomeness

So we slacked for a few weekends again – so here’s the first of several posts catching you up on what’s been going on…

Before she left, Nana got Jordin a pumpkin to carve, so Jordin and I took it out on the front porch and carved it into a scary jack-o-lantern…

And after taking that, Jordin wanted to take a picture of us making funny faces…
