Bye-Bye Stimulus Check!
We were so excited yesterday when we got the mail. Sitting right on top of the letter pile was the good-ole stimulus check from the government that we have been so patiently waiting for. Free money! Woo Hoo! It was so relieving to see such a big check, especially when we need it pretty badly. […]
Clap, Clap, Clap!
Ethan FINALLY started clapping his hands after many months of us trying to get him to do it. Here is video proof:)
Swim Class Pictures!
Okay, so our camera wasn’t cooperating today, but I promised some swim class pictures and here are two of them. Not very exciting, I know!
The Party!
We all had such a blast at Ethan’s First Birthday party. The theme was “Barnyard” and it was a fun time! It ended up being quite a good turnout of roughly 35 people… thank goodness it didn’t rain! Here is the cake I made for all of the guests: Here is me giving a cheesy […]
Ethan’s Birthday
(So, I have barely had time to post his birth story the past few days… Quite indicative of my life this time last year!) Wednesday, June 20, 2007: Garrett woke up early and went to my mum’s house, which is about 50 minutes away, to finish painting her room. I slept in, but woke up […]
This Time Last Year…
I can’t believe it has almost been a year. I can vividly remember this day last year. Garrett and I had no idea that Ethan would make his appearance tomorrow night. Our baby wasn’t due until late July and we had no plans on him coming this soon. It was a Tuesday. Garrett was at […]
Our First Swim Class
All three of us went to the first swim class this morning. Silly us forgot to take pictures of the event, but we will definitely remember for next week. Ethan had such a FANTASTIC time! As soon as he saw the pool, his legs started flailing about and he was grinning ear to ear. We […]
Recent “Professional” Photos
We just got back from having Ethan’s One Year photos taken. It didn’t go so well, as you can probably tell from the pictures. He was NOT a happy camper. (Please excuse the word “Zazzle” that is covering all of the photos… it is for copyright purposes)
Bye, Bye Mullet
It was time to cut off Ethan’s mullet. It was getting way out of hand and we really felt bad for him. All he needed was a NASCAR shirt and a can of Budweiser. Bye, Bye Mullet! (disclaimer: We are not against people that drink Budweiser and watch cars go in circles around a track […]
Ethan the Hippie
One of Ethan’s favorite activites is playing guitar with his Daddy. It instantly calms him down.
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy First Father’s Day, Garrett! I hope you have enjoyed your day so far. (It has consisted of sleeping in, a yummy breakfast, presentation of gifts and cards, playing Nintendo Wii down the basement with NO interruptions, a family trip to the playground, and will end with wings and pizza from a local sandwich shop) […]
Ethan’s First Steps!
Okay, I am not the best videographer, so you have to use your imagination. Tilt your head to the left and you can watch the video. Please turn it on mute so that you don’t have to be annoyed by my ridiculous voice:)
Splish Splash, Ethan’s Taking a Bath
Who knew a kid could love water as much as Ethan does? Here he was back in the day: “Hey Ladies, I am chillin’ ” Here is his cheesy grin:: Splashy, splashy! Just looking cute:
