Daddy's Day!!!-by Sharifa

So this post is going to be written by me, Sharifa! I just want all of you to know what a super great dad we have. He goes to work for about ten hours a day, comes home to work on homework for school, goes to school in the evenings, and always finds time to spend with both of his crazy kids! I just love him and think he is one of the world's greatest dads, Ethan and Daisy also think he is great! So for Father's day we decided to go all out and make sure he got everything that he wanted/needed. We also thought that he could use some breakfast-in-bed that morning since he works so hard every day out of bed! This year was great 'cause Ethan could help me out with making the breakfast! Here are some pictures of our very eventful day!!

Blessing, Bob, and Buzz weekend!!

This past weekend was full of fun and excitement! We were able to have Daisy's baby blessing on Sunday and were happy that so many Friends and family members were able to come. We saw a Sponge Bob puzzle and Ethan just loves Sponge Bob so we had to get it and he had a fun time putting together. Ethan made Steve play with him and the puzzle for hours on end. Next Ethan has such great Aunts and Uncles that think of him and give him great little gifts. He got a new Buzz Lightyear towel and just had to play like he was Buzz, he really loves it! Thank Aunt Sierra and Uncle Matt it will last for a very long time and we just love it, even if we haven't used it for swimming just yet! HA! HA! HA!Daisy in her blessing dress!

Our Cousins!!

A few weeks ago Sharifa, Ethan, and Daisy went up to Idaho Falls to spend sometime with her family. Joy, her sister, was going to be around with her kids for the weekend and Sharifa wanted to see her and let the kids play! It turned out to be such a great weekend and Ethan loved playing with his cousins. Daisy got to meet them and enjoyed being around a girl closer to her age. Daisy's cousin Harley was just so great with her! Here are some pictures of the fun they had together!

Princess Daisy! Playing the piano with Grandma!!! All the kids listening to a story! All the cousins looking decent for a picture! Maverick, who is now 1!!!

All about 'E'!!

The last post was just about our little Daisy so we decided to tell you all that's going on with our little Ethan. He has been growing and learning a lot of new things the past few weeks and just seems to be getting smarter everyday!!! We're so excited to see what new thing he has learned and what little thing he is going to do to make us smile/laugh! Last week Sharifa had to go to her postpardum appointment and had to leave Ethan with a friend since Steve wasn't home to watch Ethan. When Steve went to pick Ethan up from his friend's house Ethan was playing with Thomas', Ethan's friend, Buzz Light-year. So Steve decided to go to Brigham and get Ethan his own Buzz because Ethan is starting to be kinder and nicer to his parents! Ethan just loves his Buzz and we just can't seem to hide Buzz well enough that Ethan won't find him. He is starting to say his letters and knows 1-10 (he can say 5 and 9, but he knows all the numbers!!). His laugh is getting to be contagious and we just love to hear him laugh 'cause it gets us laughing with him! Well, here are a few pictures of the little man himself! We hope you enjoy!

Here is Ethan with all his pine cones!

This last weekend we were able to go up to Idaho Falls and see Grandma & Grandpa McClaskey!! We were very spoiled and got to do lots of fun activities!!! On Saturday we went to the park and played on all the different toys. Sunday we went to church and spent the day at home (grandparents'). Monday, before we left for Utah, Grandma took us to lunch at a very cool and fun place called Leo's!!! We had such a great time with them and are grateful to have such great grandparents!!

Get back to the playing. We had a hard time getting him out of there so that we could travel all the way home!!

ONE MONTH OLD!!!!!

Can you guys believe that it's been a month since our little Daisy was born? Well, it has been a whole month and today we took Daisy to the doctor and found out that she is doing so very great!! She is 8pounds 3 ounces, which puts her in the 25%, she is also 20inches long, also puts her in the 25%!! The last time we were in to see the doctor she was only in the 5% and 10%, so she is growing really well and eating good too!! We can't believe how the time has past so quickly! Here's an up to date pic!
