I think Ethan looks like a Vampire but I am reading a book about Vampires so that's all I can think about.
This is so funny to me. The 3 cousins are all 3 (well Millie will be 3 in november) They were running around the yard hunting Dinosaurs. They were so animated it was hilarious.
I got my hair done in between the trips. Isn't it so cute?

Idaho

Well if you have read any of my sisters blogs you know that we have been a busy bunch. First I drove down to Oregon with my Bro in law well he drove and Oliver screamed for 4 long hours. I stayed there and visited the family. Then I came home went to work came home from work, got on a plane and flew to Boise. Luckily I got there just in time and I got to spend a little time with my grampa. He wasn't doing well and they told us it wouldn't be long. Then the next morning I woke up to my moms phone call telling me he had passed away. I am just glad I got to hold his hand and have him squeeze me so tight. So after that we flew home for a few days and then I got back on a plane to go back for the funeral. Both brothers and all my sisters made it so it just made the whole trip that much better. While we were there we got to see Pompie and Donna. It was great to see them. Here is Oliver chillen on the floor.

Cousins
This was taken the first weekend we were there. We were missing Shell and Winnie.
Me and Pompie, Hes 89 and looks great.
Me and Lisa and Amelia. I just love that baby. I miss her so much. I hope I don't have to wait 2 years to see them again. I miss them so much.

Karli's House

So we went to Karli's house for a few days. There was an awesome fair that came to town so we got to go to that. Ethan Loved every minute of it. We got the kids bracelets so they just went on ride after ride. We went to a clown show and to the hypnotist. Me and Matt got picked to go up. Shocker but I did not get hypnotized. It was fun though.

Here is me with my lil sisters baby Lincoln. He is so little. I forgot how small they are at 1 month. He is a sweetie though he looks just like Lindsey.
Here is Ethan on the airplanes. Its kinda like the dumbo ride. You can make it go up and down.
Ethan and his cousin Millie on the roller coaster. I think they road this about 50 times. It was sweet that they got to be in the front row. I didn't get a picture but Ethan had both hands in the air. No fear for these 2.
Here is Ethan and his cousin Mark. Ethan only did this slide once and he was done. Mark on the other hand went down this slide about 100 times. No joke. There wasn't really a line so he just went over and over again.
They had this sweet fireman obstacle course. They had boots too but they were too big for Ethan. It was so cute. We had so much fun I think we will go back next year. It was well worth the money. It was so much fun seeing Ethan have so much fun with his cousins. Thanks Kar for the great week!!!

Gone Fishin

Last week my brother Shawn had a great idea to take the kids fishing at a U-Fish place. It was pretty fun. The kids just wanted to play with the poles and dip them in the water but me and Shawn caught some fish. I don't eat fish but I have a lot of fun catching them.

This was Ethan's favorite pole. It has a picture of a pirate on it.
Shawn and Emma putting bate on the pole.
Emma was ready with her net when we caught a fish.
Ethan actually did catch a fish in the net.
Shawn and Stevie proud of their catch.

The First Game

He is number 7. Not a bad number. So they lined the kids up in order of number and each kid got to hit. The coach pitches to balls and if they don't hit it then they get the tee. Ethan did not hit the coach pitch but did manage to hit it off the tee. Its pretty funny all the parents are standing with their kid in the field. And when someone would hit the ball all the kids would run after it and tackle each other to get it.

I love that he is totally listening to the base coach.
He is on third ready to come home.
How cute are those hats. I love it.
I missed this play but I bet he took her out on his way home. That's what I would have done.
He did pretty well. When it was his teams turn to go to the outfield he did not want to do it. So he sat in the chair with me for a little while. Then he went and took a turn hitting the ball again. I left and had to go back to work after that. We need to work on holding the bat a little more. He says its too heavy so we will see. He's only 3 what do you expect. He did tell me this weekend though that he wanted to play football. Ya right.

Ethan's First Baseball Game

Ethan and Oliver love to take showers. Ethan just likes to lay down and Oliver likes to stand on him. They both laugh so hard.
This is the look Ethan gives me when I turn off the water and its time to get out.
This is Oliver after he gets out. he loves being clean and dry.
He loves getting into the oven mitts. He had on of them on and was waving but I didn't get the camera out in time.
This was last weekend and Tom's parents house. I took a great nap in the hammock. I could live in one of those. Moments before this picture Tom put Oli in the hammock and then Oliver flipped out and almost landed on his head. Tom was quick to catch him.
