Our Obsession

Many of you know about Ethan's obsession.  This is a quick peek into that obsession.  He loves his dinosaurs.  We have them in every single room in our house.  We have a couple in each car, b/c you just never know when you will need a dinosaur. (I even have a few in my purse, you know just in case)  Ethan can play with them for hours on end, seriously he loves them.  

The only kid that HATES hotdogs!

Seriously.  He hates them.  What's wrong with him?  

A Smile! Finally!

Finally!!  I captured a smile on Ethan's face! He actually looked at the camera when I asked him to!  Okay, so I'm excited! It's been like a year since I've taken a picture like this!

The Bounce House

Well, we finally took Ethan to the bounce house.  It was an interesting event.  He started off scared of everything and every time I put him down, he would run for the exit.  But, after a while he got it together and decided that it was in fact a fun place to be.  Whew...I was worried there for a while, I mean we did pay $6 to get in.  (not that that's a lot, but every bit counts)  Our pictures of the event didn't turn out very well, but we did get some cute video of the occasion. He ended up loving the place and didn't want to leave.  You can watch the last video and see how much he wanted to stay.  (oh and he does that spitting noise that I mentioned a few posts back, only normally when he does it he's not crying!)  Okay, I'm so sad, the video of him crying and throwing a fit won't load.  I'll try to load it in a new post.  (b/c you just have to see it)

Please vote in my poll...

Okay, so please vote in my poll.  Over to the Right.  I want to know what other people think.  Should we cut Ethan's hair short again, or leave it the way it is?  Here are some pictures to help with your answer!

Oh the sounds that I hear...

So Ethan is two.  Yes, I know "the terrible two's", but he's really been a good boy.  But, the sounds that I hear when he wants something, you just need to hear.  It's really quite amusing, and I wish that I could record them all for you.  

_______________________

When he is mad at me, I now get the sound you get when you stick your tongue between your lips and spit.  Lovely, huh?  So in the car on the way home today, Ethan was mad and he kept making that spitting noise at me.  I've decided to ignore it, especially in the car because what else can I do while driving?  

________________________

Then of course I get the "no stopee!"  This can come at anytime.  Usually when he wants to do something on his own.  "no stopee, baby!"  He throws the baby in there when he wants to do it himself.  (he calls himself baby, okay yes I know I have to stop calling him that)

________________________

Ethan is from the age of tivo and you can tell.  He thinks that any show can be fast forwarded.  So if he's watching a show and wants to skip the commercials (because who wants to sit through the commercials) he'll go lah lah lah at the top of his lungs.  Oh this one is annoying!  So we have now learned the wonderful word of please.  Oh it's such a wonderful word and to hear Ethan say "pease momma" it's the best thing ever.  He now knows that he has to say "pease" if he wants something.  So most of the time, he'll ask without being reminded.  

So will "pease" work for the car spitting?  

Spring is here!

We've decided to plant some flowers.  We need them, as our plants are pretty few and far between.  Dan ripped out all of our bushes this winter, because I'm so allergic to them.  So far, it's worked!  Not one allergy attack.  But, here is Ethan "helping" Dan plant some flowers! (these don't bother my allergies!)

TN weather

So it has been so nice here.  The temperature has been around 78 degrees everyday.  Wonderful.  Ethan's been running around in shorts and a t-shirt.  Watch the weather today, and you will hear a different forecast.  It's supposed to snow flurry on Monday!! What is up with that?  You never know what you'll get here, summer one day and snow the next.

Family Fun!

We went to visit family for the weekend.  What we learned was that Ethan really loves his cousins and we need to go more often!  He had a blast, especially with Clark.  We did get to go to the Discovery Center also, and that was so much fun.  You should have seen Ethan when he saw the dinosaur part!  Well, I'm sure you can imagine as he's obsessed with dinosaurs.  The bubbles were pretty cool also.  The kids had so much fun playing together.  For those of you that don't know, Eve is 7, Clark is 3, Ethan is 2, and Dean is 1.  Oh, and I wish I had this on video.  Dean can "sing" (hum) the theme song to Star Wars! Now, that's talent!

Look Who Dan is!!!!

Look who Dan is!!!!  Okay, you have to think this is funny!!! The girl who cleans everything!!!  LOL Oh, I'm laughing so hard!!!!!  

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

What Princess Are You?

This was fun!! Try it out! 

You Are Belle!

Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.
