Update

Ethan lost his first tooth!! It was so so fun to see! It was very loose and he kept twisting and pulling it. After it came out, he started jumping around and yelling and immediately wanted to call both Grandmas. The tooth fairy rewarded him well.

So this summer, I was determined to get Ethan to ride his bike without training wheels. He was not happy about it. He called his bike "poo" and said he loved his scooter a bazillion times more. I thought it was important to learn anyways, so we told him we would bring him to a paint your own pottery place if he learned how to ride. He did it within 2 tries and decided to paint a snake to put all of his money in that the tooth fairy gave him.

LOVE walking on the river right by our house. This was from our walk last night. I made her dress and didn't spend a dime! Cute huh?

We love to go to Belleview Park (a mile walk away from our house on the river) and found the coolest "fort" there that we spend all of our time at now.

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.
