After Screaming Lessons

We have started swim lessons (aka screaming lessons) again with Ethan. It has been quite interesting, he loves the water until the lessons begin. Instead of practicing on swimming he practices on his screaming!!! It has gotten better...you can't tell from the video. He is learning more each and every day, he loves to say beep, beep and cho, cho. It is pretty cute! Also, he loves saying Mama to everybody including Daddy...We will keep you updated more!!!

It's Another Boy...What a Shocker!!!

On Monday, we went to the doctor to find out the sex of the baby...and what a shocker that was...IT'S A BOY!!!!! So Ethan will be thrilled to have a co-conspirator with him at all times. Larrs and I haven't picked out any names yet, but that is on our agenda next. Everything looked good with Baby #2, and we are excited that we will be the proud parents of 2 beautiful baby boys!

Baby #2

Today we went to doctor and got an ultrasound done. It was exciting to see the baby moving all around in my belly, and I couldn't feel a thing. The tech seemed to think it was a boy, but was not sure. The doctor wouldn't say either way...keep you updated!

New Toys for Ethan

This week Ethan received 2 news toys!!! He got his Little Tikes police car and his new Pottery Barn Kids chair, he seems to like them both. He is getting bigger, I can't believe it has gone this quick.

Baby #2 On the Way

Larrs and I are very excited to tell you that we will be expecting our second child in January 2009. In fact, the due date is two years and one day from Ethan's birthday!!! Yikes!!! I am almost 11 weeks along and feeling very excited but also a little overwhelmed with having a baby and a toddler!!!! Thank you for all your love and support and we will continue to keep you updated.

It was so cold...

A few weeks ago our whole family took a trip to Arizona to bury my grandpa. He passed in late April and we choose to have the memorial on Father's Day weekend. It was a fun filled and crazy weekend, we had 2 vans jammed pack with baby crap. We had 10 adults and 3 babies! Despite all the driving we did that weekend, it was such a joy to see where my mom grew up and places where she loved to visit. It was wonderful taking Ethan there, even though he won't remember it we have pictures to show him. We definitely will be taking him back there again to visit.

Crazy Ethan

Last night Ethan was so cute, he was watching the tv and taking a part his crib. He likes to pull up the matress and then standing on it so he can be higher or he pulls it up and sits underneath it. He is so funny, lots of personality.
