The Getschers: Here's what we've been doing,..

Here's what we've been doing,..

Mom came a few weeks back for a weekend together. Here, we're at Red Rocks Amphitheater- a gorgeous outdoor amphitheater. She came so her and I could go to Time Out for Women. So so so so so good!! Thanks mom, love you!

We also had a wedding. Ethan insists that he will marry Eliza even with discouragement from us. Sorry Shailee! :) So here they are over the altar getting married. By the way, this was all his idea.

And now they're on their honeymoon.

I've been feeling like a slacker mom... one of the kids at school was reading green eggs and ham ridiculously well and Ethan is too busy playing cars to learn academic stuff so I put my foot down and we're doing letter school every day. This was C day- we made cookie lollipops. I've been getting all games and activities from an amazing book called Alphabet Theme A Saurus if any of you feel inspired to do the same.

My husband is the greatest man ever, seriously. He always helps me with my crazy ideas and traditions. Here he's painting leprechaun feet and a rainbow on the floor for st patty's day with washable paint.

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.
