Happy Birthday Ethan!!

We bought this "choo choo" set while we were in Idaho thinking we would give it to him as a future b-day or Christmas gift. So we finally pulled it out. We wrapped it and put it in bed in the morning. When I went in his room in the morning, he was sitting on the package and examining it. I went in and he immediately wanted to get out, with the present of course, go downstairs and open it. So anyways, here he is putting it together for the first time!

Driving his "choo choos" for the first time.

For lunch, we went to McDonalds. Mark, my mom, and I got big fries (they were pretty gross actually, not big fans of Mickey Dees). Anyways, he played on the playground for probably an hour.

I thought this was a funny picture.

Anyone guess what this is supposed to be?! :) Elmo, of course!! He got a sunburn and has a seriously bad case of mouth disease too. Oh, also his eyes fell off too. He has problems, poor guy.

Acutally, it's kinda sad... we didn't eat the cake last night. Ethan was soooooo cranky when he woke up. He didn't want to eat dinner or cake. So we're going to sing to him tonight and I'll post more pictures of that soon.

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
