Sweets for the sweet

We went for a family bike ride up to Chatfield Reservoir (about 16-17 miles round trip). Macho man Mark pulled the kids the whole time... anyways, we got back home and saw this. I immediately rushed inside to get the camera. Usually Ethan man doesn't like her resting on his shoulder or lap but today was an exception I guess. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this boy. He is just an absolutely amazing brother and son. We don't feel good enough to have him!! Needless to say, we gave him a huge stack of oreos when we got inside which I know is against the parent's handbook to reward with junk food but we couldn't resist that sweet boy!!

LOVING this bike path right behind our apartment. L.O.V.E. DENVER.

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.
