Another great day in Northern Michigan!

So, today was another fantastic day!
We slept in and then headed off to the Boyne property after spending
some quality time hanging out and goofing off at home. We walked the
property line in Boyne and the girls caught a toad. Then we headed
into Petoskey for some quick shopping and gillato icecream. After
that we took Ethan into the park area next door where he had a blast
running up and down the steep hills and chasing his cousins! We ate
dinner at a Mexican food restaurant on the edge of town, and Ethan was
absolutely wild after downing half a cup of chocolate milk! After
dinner we did a bit more shopping then back home for some more
relaxing and a suprise early visit from Mom coming up tonight instead
of tomorrow! Ethan and mom will be so excited in to see each other
the morning (he was already in bed when she got here)! Now I'm laying
here in bed with the windows open listening to the sounds of the
sprinkling rain, breeze through the forest, and thunder in the
distance! Man, I Love Michigan!

Lol

Ethan said the funniest thing in the tub. He was standing up in the
bath tub and farted. Then he said "I toot". It made me laugh so much.

I thought I would also show off ethan's favorite bath toys...2 cups.
I don't know why we bother buying toys sometimes. :)

Fun day!

Ethan and I went to Grandma Great's this morning after we dropped off
the car to be worked on. He had a good time running in the grass
racing me and reading books. We brought over muffins that he loved eating.

Tonight at dinner we had a fruit salad for dessert with cool whip. He loved the cool whip part and the blueberries. He had 3 helpings of the berries. He couldn't get enough. He also had to eat all the blueberries out of my bowl.

Great weekend!

We had a great weekend hanging out with uncle John, Emilie & Diego
tonight. It was Ethan's first time in a big pool. He was a little
scared at first, but he had a good time splashing on the steps by the
end. He only fell in head first once...he wasn't even scared
afterward. He was really relaxed when we were all done and looked
like he could have fallen asleep...yet he is still awake on the way
home and it is 45 min past his bedtime.

We played on the slip and slide earlier today with the cousins. We
washed it off from last year. It worked great. Aunt cori had an
inflatable boogie board that helped the kids actually get all the way
down the slide. It was also easy to push the little ones down. We
had a blast, even though it was 111 outside.

Yesterday we went to dinner with cousin Emilie and walked around Tempe
Marketplace. We bought a couple books at the bookstore and played in
the water area where the water shot up from the ground. Ethan was a
little shy about splashing around with the water without us standing
nearby. He had a good time!

This picture was taken earlier in the week. Ethan loves putting on
his cowboy hat and dancing around. We think he is trying to sing a
song from one of his favorite Backyardigans episode 'Polka Palace
Party' where they are cowboys trying to get to the polka palace in
Cheyene, Wyoming to play at a birthday party. We call him Cowboy
Ethan when he is wearing the hat. He also likes to get on the rocking
horse that Grandpa gave him. It makes nieghimg and galloping sounds
too.

Fun Stuff!

This is a picture of Ethan they have at daycare on the wall.  It made me laugh a lot!  I guess they traced the outline of the kids and cut it out on big pieces of paper and stuck it to the wall.  Ethan's pose is with him laying down with his hands behind his head.  This is his favorite position when he is laying down.  The teachers mentioned that he is doing it all the time now when he is getting his diaper changed and when he is sleeping.  They think it is soooo cute!  I also love the fish face, he does that all the time too!


Ethan's Picture at School


Here's a picture of him sleeping like that when he was younger.
