Happy Birthday Ethan!

Five! How is it possible that my little baby is now a boy. And oh what a boy you are Ethan. You love anything and everything boy- camoflage, Army tanks, tractors and race cars. You love to hunt for lightening bugs and play ball of any kind. Your bike is one of your favorite toys- that and the toy tractor that you had to have that was "just like Daddy's with a stroller on it" (for those that don't know a stroller = trailer :) ). You just love to help Daddy "mow" the grass and do anything outside- outside is your favorite place to be. Not to mention outside doing anything that Daddy does. You are his little shadow.

While you may be a rough and tumble boy you still are sweet and loveable and love to cuddle with Mommy and Daddy. You even insist on giving your little sister hugs and kisses before bedtime. You are the best big brother any little girl could hope for. Ethan you are more than we could ever hope for and we love you more and more each day.

Happy 5 years baby boy!!

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy

Almost!!

How is it this little guy is only 7 days away from being 5 years old????

Homerun!!!

Ethan has been playing t-ball this season and has really been doing a very good job. It has been a lot of fun for the whole family as Eric was the coach for Ethan's team- the Astros. Here are some pics from this season and even a couple of videos of Ethan!! Enjoy :)

Ethan batting (ignore my very loud cheering!)

and running the bases, narrowly avoiding being tagged coming into home!!

Ethan's biggest cheering section- Adalyn and I at a game


It was a fun season. Can't wait to see what we are in for this fall! Ethan is still deciding between soccer and t-ball, we will see :)

What does...

This:

Plus this:

Equal????

Why a summer of fun and exercise of course! At least we hope. We decided to get a bike for me and trailer for Adalyn (Eric and Ethan were already fully equipped) so tha we can hit the trails together as a family.

Wish us luck and pray for safety... especially for me, I'm quite the klutz!!!!!!

Not Me Monday! What exactly is Not Me Monday? Well it's where I share with you all the things I most certainly did not do this week. Hop on over to Mckmama's blog and check out what others are not doing as well!

• • I did not get the opportunity to share about Jesus with a bunch of 2, 3 and 4 year olds through song and dance and some pretty cool puppet skits during our vacation bible school at church this week.
  • I did not have a blast doing it and am not so thankful that I get to take part in such a ministry!
  • I did not not bath my kids all week long because we went straight from work to VBS and got home so late that I just put them to bed each night- that would be just so gross!!
  • Adalyn is not transistioning to the 2 year old classroom at daycare. She is not growing up that fast. I am not completely sad about that but happy all at the same time.

  Go over to Mckmama's blog and share what you have not done this week as well!!

I have "that" kid...

you know the one. The one that all the teachers at school say "oh no, here comes so and so", yeah that kid. I never thought I'd have that kid. You see, we have been having some discipline problems with Ethan at school lately. It includes him not listening, throwing tantrums ("fits" as they call them at school) and most recently? Why that would be kicking the daycare director!! Ethan can be the most considerate and caring kid most of the time but when he throws a fit he loses himself. Well, after the "kicking" incident, Eric left work to go and talk to Ethan. He claims he was tired.

Guess it means earlier bedtimes for little man!
