One year older & wiser too!

Today's my birthday! This is me 28 years ago.

My how I have grown :)

Silly boy

Sometimes...ok a lot of times Ethan makes me laugh. Last weekend we had lunch with my family at my Grandma house. She has a chair that moves up and down and my Grandma taught Ethan that the controller it is a phone. She kept telling him "hello, where's dad". Then he really thought he was funny and started playing peek-a-boo with my little sister Jenalee. Sometimes I think he's way to smart for his age.

Another AMAZING photo shoot!

Do you remember Ethan's 6 months pictures? Well my wonderful friend Brittney has done it again. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our latest and greatest photo shoot!

Withers Camping Trip

This year we went to Payson Lakes for our Withers camping trip. It was really cold at night but we had a lot of fun. Everyone came including Grandpa and Celeste on Saturday for some fun at the lake and some yummy dutch oven dinner. Here are a few pictures...

Beau & Ethan

My mom and Ethan. My mom was a great trooper on this campout. Ady LOVED to go for walks and my mom being the wonderful grandmother that she is took both grand babies for a walk. This picture was taken on their way back from one of those walks. We brought Ethan's little bus and it's a good thing we did. It was great entertainment for Ethan and Ady. Ady loved to push and ride Ethan's bus too so my mom found a way that they can both enjoy it at the same time...

He's getting big!

I feel like in a matter of a week Ethan went from my baby to my toddler. He how has 2 teeth, he can hold his own bottle, he says dadda and HE'S WALKING!!! Yes you read that right my 9 month old son is walking. Take a look...

And if you haven't seen him lately he LOVES to growl. Here are a couple clips of my growly bear :)

Something fun to watch

I've been meaning to put these videos on here for a long time so some of this is old news.

This video is of him using his walker (which he loves). When we brought it home he just grapped it and took off...and hasn't stopped since.

I love this video it just makes me laugh. Ethan loves to jump, even when he's not in his jumper.

1st Hair Cut

Ethan was looking like a shaggy dog so we paid a visit to Aunt Kristy for a hair cut. At first he was happy and all smiles.

But then he started to wiggle and wanted to look at Kristy so I had to hold his head still and he was NOT happy about that at all!

After all of the tears and wiggling and screaming he looked like a handsome little man.

Thanks Aunt Kristy!

And here is a cute scrap page I made all about his 1st haircut

Holly's Wedding

My cousin Holly was married last week and she looked beautiful! We traveled down to the Manti Temple for a wonderful ceremony and then we went to Nephi for a yummy luncheon. Here are a few pictures from that day.

Vidoni Camping Trip

This year for our Vidoni camping trip we went to Cherry Hill and had lots of fun! Ethan LOVED being in the water. Our first night there Jared and Ethan swam in the pool the nieces and nephews.

Taggert

The next day we spent at the water park going from one pool to the next and lots of rides in the lazy river. While we were at the water park we had lunch and Ethan tasted Watermelon for the first time. He loved it and even tried stealing it from his cousin Lucy. Lucy was kind enough to share it with him. She would talk a bit and then she would give Ethan a bit. It was so cute!
