Weekend Trip!!!

We're sorry about not keeping our blog up to date, but things have been keeping us bussy! Last weekend we went to see Sharifa's parents. Here are some cute pictures that we took over the weekend. We also went to Rexburg ID to see the new LDS temple and to see an old friend of Sharifa's!!!!!!

Sharifa was looking through some of her older items at her parents house. While looking for things to take back home, she found this cute little knitted hat. It barely fit Ethan, but isn't he just so addorable?!!! He is soooo happy about his new little hat, he loves the little hat!!!!!

Here is another picture of Ethan, with his hat, and his mama. Aren't they just soooo cute?!!!!

We were able to go upto Rexburg and see one of Sharifa's friend from high school. From left to right there is Emily, David, Ethan, and Sharifa. Sharifa and Ethan had so much fun with their old/new friends,but Steve was filling a little left out.

After seeing Emily and David, we went up the hill to go see the new LDS temple. It was so beautiful. We decided to take a picture of the temple, what do think about it? It is really new, and just so wonderful from the outside. The only thing is that it is very vertical!!Grandma M loves to read to Ethan, and Ethan enjoyed hearing Grandma and touching the little animals!!!! Can you see how Ethan is so interested in the book. He loves to read and look at book pictures!

Sleeping!!!

We were going through our pictures and found some very cute pictures of Ethan in the many different ways that he like to fall asleep! We love our little Ethan and think that he is the funniest little boy in the world. We hope that all of you will get a little kick out of these pictures as we do!! Have a bright, happy, and beautiful day!!

Ethan is tired and is on mama's and papie's bed, ready to fall asleep!

Ethan has just finished eating and decided to fall asleep on his mommy!!
We think is having a great dream. What do you think? It's tummy time!! He was really loud at the begining, but suddenly he went quiet. Why? He fell asleep on his tummy. It's so funny, don't you think? Super Bowl Sunday, we were watching the game and it was late. Ethan fell asleep on our friends' couch. We had to take him home and put him straight to bed!!

Ethan loves to sleep in his swing it makes him happy!!

Just Hangin Out!!!!

We just thought that we would show you some really cute pictures of Ethan. Ethan, at this age, has lots of new and crazy things that he likes to do!! We just love to see him doing all of the things that he says and does!!! We love to take pictures of the Ethan in what ever he does. We hope that all of you like these pictures as much as we love them. Every time that I see them it makes me smile and laugh!! Every day Ethan does something to make us feel greatful for having such a great son. He makes us laugh every day no matter what he does!!

Ethan and his best friend Melvin. He goes every where with Melvin, they even go to bed together. The outfit Melvin is wearing is an outfit that Ethan used to wear. It's so weird to think that Ethan used to fit into something sooo small!!!

Ethan loves to jump up and down in his bouncer. We are so greatful to one of Steve's co-workers, she was so nice enough to give it to us. Ethan just loves to use it so mucht. He just loves to jump around all the time!!

Ethan has lots of fun getting all of his energy out, but he decides that he is tired. Jumping and bouncing around is lots of fun, but it's nice to have a little break. We think that Ethan lookes just sooo cute!!! What do you think?

Ethan Papie and sitting on the couch watching tv. Ethan really loves his papie and loves to spend lots of time with him!!!! I just wish that he loved mommy as much as he loves his papie!!!

Snow Day!!!

For the past few days it has been cold and snowy so we decided to go out and enjoy the snow. Here are some pictures of us having some fun out in the snow. We think that Ethan enjoyed playing out in the snow. There were sometimes that he got cold and we could tell that he wanted to go inside. We'll just have to see where we end up next year around this time. We'll have to see if Ethan really does like the snow, that's if we are in an area where there is some snow!!

Ethan's Blessing

Hey all. Here is a new post. I've finally got this kinda figured out. Here are some pictures when ethan was blessed. That was one of the most spiritual days of my life. I'm so blessed to have such a great and loving husband. Steve gave a really great blessing. He is such a great father to Ethan and you can see that Ethan loves his papie lots. I'm also greatful for such a great son. He is so happy and just so lovable.
