After our long summer in Minnesota, Ethan, Tyler and I got the chance to spend some quality family time together. We spent a week camping at his familys cabin, and took several four wheeling trips! Ethan loves riding Daddys four wheeler. Especially when Daddy lets him drive!

Happy Birthday Ethan!

He was so excited to get his cars helmet. His cousin got one the week before for his birthday and Ethan couldnt stop talking about it! So we decided to get him one to wear when he rides his new bike and scooter!

I made Ethan pose for me so I could see what this huge one looked like! He was more than willing, and I couldnt stop laughing! I love him!!! It looks like a gian sea creature is going to eat his head!!!

I started making flower clips for headbands. Just another acitivity to keep me occupied. I made tons of them and im going to put them in my friends shop for sale when I get back to idaho! These were some of the first ones! They have gotten lots cuter!

After a long week, we have finally gotten to the bottom of Ethans mysterious illness. we made two trips to the doctors clinic, a trip to the emergency room at St. Johns hospital, and finally a trip to the emergency room at the childrens hospital in St Paul. And finally we found out that he has hand foot and mouth disease. Again! But this time, it's a lot worse. His poor little body is covered in a rash, and his throat is so sore and swolen that he cant eat. I feel so bad for him, and there's nothing we can do to make it go away. It just has to run it's course! Poor guy!

Ethans most favorite activity as of late, is going to the little amusement park next to the zoo! He loves going on the rides with his friend Ryan! They have so much fun! They love the "Froggy" ride, and every time they ride on it they scream and laugh together! One time Ethan even decided he wanted his face painted like spiderman! He sat so still the whole time!

Ethans new favorite activity is going to the como park zoo. He loves to see the lions and tigers! On our first trip there, we got the privelage of seeing the lion cough up a hairball or something. Not my idea of a fun moment, but Ethan thought it was pretty cool. He loves to pose when I take his picture, so here are some pictures of him striking a pose at the zoo!

I know my posts are totally out of order, but i promised some people i would post this one! We finally finished the kitchen in our house in Idaho. It only took six months of putting it off! Yay! I was so happy! We re-did the floor and the cupboards. Lots of hard work!

Our first week in Minnesota!

2009-04-21T19:41:00.000-07:00

We finally made it to minnesota! We love it here! The weather has been beautiful despite a few rainy days here and there, but who says those are bad! Ethan and I have been taking our daily trips to the park, and long walks past the pond that has a family of HUGE geese living in it! We have a lake about a 1/4 mile down the road. It has a great playground, and a small beach! Ethan loves it! His favorite thing is to stare at the ducks. He tols me that one of them wasnt in the water because he was too fat to swim. HAHAHA! I love that kid!

Hawaii

This year was full of traveling. We went to hawaii in may to visit my parents. This was Ethans first trip there. Talk about a long plane ride. The eight hour layover in seattle each way had to be the low point. Overall we had a great time. Tyler got to go deep sea fishing, and I got to spend some quality time with my mom. Hopefully we will be able to get back there again soon!

Picture time!

Ethan is always finding our camera. Every time he does, we take pictures for hours! He loves to say "Cheese" and always tell you to say it too! And of course, after every picture he has to see it before you can take the next!
