Activity Time!!!

For the past few days we have been doing new and exciting things with our Ethan. He has been working on getting better at the whole walking thing and we think that he is really loving it. Now a days he like to get into anything that he is not suppose to, but he does anyways. Ethan loves to spend time with his dad and now that Steve is working at Walmart disturibution center he is working on weekend and gets to stay home and play with Ethan during the week. That will be untill school starts. Here are some videos of Ethan enjoying some activities while working on his walking skills. He is starting to go faster and faster each new day and he is just getting a lot better with the balancing too!

Here, Ethan is enjoying reading with his Papie. We don't know what is sooo fun!!!

Here is Ethan working on his walking. He just loves his papie that he always turns around and walks back to him!!

Birthday time!!!!

Okay, I know that's it's been a while since we have said anything, so will just let you know what's been going on. On Tuesday, August 5th, it was our 3rd anniversary. We are becoming poor because of school and Ethan eating so much, so the two of us just went out to dinner and went to a movie. We went and saw the 3rd Mummy movie and didn't think that it was all that great, but we did enjoy spending some quite time together! We've been doing a lot of swimming and enjoying the warm weather. Yesterday was Sharifa's 21st birthday(just kidding, she turned 23). We decided that she would just turn 21 every year so that Steve can remember how old she and she can stay young every year. Hey, it works for the both of us!!!! Steve was such a great husband that he planned the activities for us to do. We went and played on go carts and also went miniture golfing which was a lot of fun. Then we went to dinner where he had the waiters sing "Happy Birthday" to Sharifa, which made her a little red! Later we catched up with Ethan, Grandma, and Grandpa Phillips to have some cake and ice cream. To Sharifa's surpise Steve had invited the neighbers over. She really loved seeing Gram, Jack, Kelli, and Jeff there to celebrate with her!!! Here are some pictures of that evening.

Here is the cake that Steve bought Sharifa. She really liked it, even though she is 23 she still likes princess thinks. This was a great cake for her. It had stawberry filling and tasted so very delicous!!! THANK YOU STEVE!!!Sharifa getting ready to blow out the candles!!! How many can you see? Are there 23? (no)Here is Ethan checking out the cake.Ethan ended up with more cake on the outside of his belly than there was on the inside!!!This is Ethan's friend Jack. Ethan was trying to share some of his cake ON jack!!! What a crazy kid, at least we know that he knows how to share somethings!!(HA HA HA)

Here are the gifts that Steve and Ethan got for Sharifa. They got her a pair of shorts so that she would stop wearing Steve's all the time. They got her a hair straightner 'cause hers was broken. Then Steve thought that since Sharif watches the Disney channel a lot she would like the Jonas Brothers CD and Miley Cyrus CD. He likes to make fun of her, but she really does enjoy the gifts that Steve and Ethan gave to her!!
