4th of July.

We have been really busy with working and just trying to be together as a family that I have not had the opportunity to post anything of late. I am really sorry for everyone. As you can see we have had a good 4th of July. Ethan loved the Sparklers and wanted to do them all night. He was with his cousin's that day because Kertus and I had to work. We went to pick him up and ended up staying there to watch the fireworks at thier house. He loved them and wanted to also go all night. He was never scared of the noises, even as an infant. But now he tells me, "I'm a big kid now mommy; I do it by myself." Mister independant, which is fine because now we are finishing on potty training! He has been in big boy underwear for a while now, the only thing is knowing the feeling when he has to go! Pull-ups didn't do it for him. In fact he prefers to standing up and he hasn't made a mess! Yeah! The only bad thing is that I am losing my baby and now have to deal more with a little man! But thats okay according to him because now his thing is wanting a baby brother and or sister! Try telling him we just can't go to a store and pick one up! We have done one better, at night, in his prayers, he tells Heavenly Father that is what he wants. So sweet.

Aren't these the most awsome things! They are just so cute! My mother made the dresses and got the doll for me for my birthday! The second is for October which is a witch for Halloween. The first is for February which is Valentines. My mom has made a dress for every month for her own doll to decorate the house and so now she is doing a dress for me for my doll now! The other pictures are to show you the detail of the crochet, which all of it is! Dress and pantalooms!

Easter!

Easter was interesting this year. Ethan loved dyeing eggs and was really good at it as well. He did not want to stop so I am thinking that next year we will do more. This year was also stake conference for us so it was hard to sit there for two hours telling a child that it is okay because he cannot go to nursery! He was really upset about that but got reminded that the Easter Bunny was coming to drop something off at the house! He was excited and when he saw his basket, he was even more excited! He told the Easter bunny thank you out loud so he could hear it because he was hiding and he couldn't see him. He got a Dr. Seuss DVD that is all done with puppets and candy, of course, and a new best friend named blue bunny. He also got that new outfit he is posing for me! He is so cute and just the sweetest, great kid. I can not believe how blessed I am to have this angel in my care! I just wish that he would stop growing up too fast!

Pictures of Late

Here are some pictures of what has been going on lately since the last blog. I thought that this would be a whole lot easier then trying to explain. We have a super-hero, and kid not wanting to sleep and someone loving the warmer weather and a very cool kid. We have just been working and trying to feel better is all and time has slipped away from us.

Good Ol' Snow!

It has been a while since we have had snow like this! In fact it is more now, the car is almost buried completely. We have over a foot, and that is just in Wendell! The roads have been closed all over the place, even to Sun Valley! They actually have gotten it worse, just like the olden days where we were practically buried completely in our house! But I believe that Spring is trying to force its' way back to us! That is okay because that means more movement outside and more things to do with Ethan! We are getting too stur-crazy in the house and need to do things outside! Like blowing bubbles and going to the park and playing with kites, and then fishing and all sorts of fun things in the sun that we 'can do in a potunckville in a little town' (hick talk ya'll LOL) until we move to Twin Falls. Just a couple more months!

Passage To Zarahemla

Everyone should go see this show! We all went to it and it was fantastic. I also got meet the author which is in the first picture there and we signed the poster with is the last picture here. We were at the premier of the movie and it was packed full and Chris talked to us for a while and let us in on some secrets of his. He also told us that we were the very first people in Idaho to see the show before anyone else! It was exciting and really cool. Ethan liked it and wasn't afraid of the Lamanites at all, in fact after the show was over he simpley said "More, again?" It is on our list right at the top as far as movies to buy for the family!

The New Best Friend in the Whole World! (besides me!)

This picture is soo cute that I just had to share it with everyone! This is his new best friend in the world besides mom and dad and it was the greatest find in the world! Thank you Dollar Store! Ethan takes him everywhere in the house, constantly plays with him and takes to bed so Monkey can sleep. His other best friend is his Elephant that he made at Comfort Critters which is a knock off or side store of Build a Bear! He named his elephant Dumbo because that is another favorite movie of his besides the Toy Story's and also Jungle Books. He also like Atlantis that Disney put out a while ago. This little 'monkey of mine is starting to get into action figures as well like Spiderman and Superman, Batman, Turtles, all kinds. He even calls himself SuperEthan! I am either SuperMOM (Yeah!) or Wonder Woman. (Smart kid! LOL) He still loves Cars. So basically I am getting more of a little boy then ever. Sniff, Sniff. Growing up so fast and it is only going to get worse!

Christmas Time

Boy it has been a year! We have been so busy with work and everything else that I lost the track of time! Anyway, I think Ethan had a great Christmas because of all the stuff he made out with, not to mention both his grandparents had something to do with it! But that is all fine and dandy with me! We all had a great Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with Kertus's family because of the storm and then we went over to see my parents in Utah and spend couple of days with them! It was wonderful and I actually felt like it was Christmas this year! I got another Nutcracker to add to my collection and Kertus got is Transformer Movie and besides other stuff we also got Gift Cards which was perfect because it seems to myself that I am getting really picky all of a sudden. ( Must be getting old!) LOL
