Happy Halloween

Ok, there is one problem with buying your baby stuff at a consignment store. The stuff that was purchased for the winter was done in August. So the adorable Tigger costume that was supposed to fit a 12 month old baby was way too small. But I put it on him anyway because I am him Mom and it is my job to torture him. He did take the little Tigger and put it in him mouth and shake it just like Gilly taught him.

And what would Halloween be without Kevin and I's pumpkin renditions. This year we took on each other. Doesn't it look like Kev?

Ethan's 1 Year Old!

Ethan's favorite toy

Ethan's two favorite things in life, his truck and Syneca. He is such a big boy

Hanging out at home

Just us hanging out at home. Ethan being silly.




My favorite picture. Although it looks like he it trying to kiss me, he was actually trying to bite me.

Ok, so it has been a while since my last posting. The pictures below were taken of Ethan at 9 months.

This one is for Grandpa :)


This one is for Daddy.




These are his "faces" portraits that I love!

Alicia's First Tooth!

Lake week this year was very exciting. Alicia lost her first tooth. Actually, I think daddy pulled it out! (Really it was an apple but it is more fun to blame Daddy)


The best things about the Rochester airport is the play area. Ethan loves the planes and mushrooms. Makes waiting so much easier. Why don't all airports have these?

New Boat

Since it is Texas and it is hot and we couldn't get a pool installed, we did the next best thing and bought a boat. It is a 2005 Yamaha AR230 High Output jet boat. Like a giant jet ski. Too bad I didn't get a picture of the actual boat!

Yes, Ethan is in a giant lilly pad. It is mid-summer and the selection was gone so you get what you get. Hey, he is afloat right?
