Let's start off with our biggest news, which may be old news by now!

We made this into a T-Shirt for Ethan to wear to help us announce that we are expecting a baby in November!  Ethan doesn't really understand what's going on, but he just knows that a lot of people really liked his shirt and wanted to see it.  

Here's Baby 2's picture at 8 weeks.

It's been a while since we've posted, so I'll try to just stick in a few fun moments in our lives.

We decided that Ethan needed an outlet for his energy, so we got him this little trampoline.  You can see he actually can get some air on it.  This was the first time we set it up for him, you should see him on it now!  We'll have to get another picture because he raises his knees up and really gets bouncing on that thing! 

It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Super Ethan!  Our friend Kelly brought this outfit over for Ethan to try on, and we thought it was so cute!

Ethan has his first real trip to the hospital with a hurt leg.  He fell off a short step stool and then refused to put any weight on his foot the entire day, so we decided to take him into the InstaCare at the new Riverton Hospital.  They X-rayed his leg and determined that he hadn't broken anything, but as a precaution they splinted it .  Ethan was totally fine the next day and even tried running around with the splint on! 

This kid is already hooked up with the I-pod, loving listening to music.  He'll listen for a while, then chew on the ear pieces.  It's super cute when he bobs his head to the beat!

This kid loves Brandon's I-Pad and discovered the "Photo Booth" app.   He thinks it's so funny to see his face on screen in so many different colors! 

We officially have to keep all bathroom doors shut or else you may find this, or someone's hand in the toilet when you finally figure out why it got so quiet all the sudden.  He'll go in and close the door and it doesn't matter if it's pitch black in there, he'll find a way to get into things.

This is Ethan's little pal who lives at the end of our building.  Each day as we go out on our walk we have to check to see if "Sammy" is outside.  If he is then Ethan loves to hang out with him and pet him and follow him around.  Sammy is really good with him too and allows him to do that.  

We decided it was time we gave Ethan a haircut, and rather than go to the professionals, Brandon decided that since he can cut his own hair, why not give it a try on a squirming little 1 year old.  It was working out okay until he dropped the clippers (squirming boy remember) and they stopped working and he had to use regular scissors.  Oh, like the very same ones you see Ethan holding without us realizing he has them!  Sheesh! Next time, I say we bring him to a salon!

My budding artist!  Like Mommy, like son!  As many of you may know, when I found out I was pregnant again, I decided that I would not be returning to teaching next school year.  It was a tough decision, but one that will be the best for our family.  I've spent the past 9 years teaching roomfuls of high school kids how to draw, paint, learning how to create and express themselves through art.  Now I can focus on teaching on a smaller scale, and I am looking forward to it!   Here's Ethan's first painting experience!  He loved it!  He made this for one of his Grandma's for Mother's Day! 

And lastly, just for laughs, here's Ethan making friends with a couple of real "asses" at the petting zoo in Scipio!

Well there's a little bit of an update, and now that school is out, I will hopefully be able to update this blog a little more frequently!
