*Ethan's Preschool Graduation*

Here is our little family at Ethan's graduation, Ethan looks so happy doesn't he? He absolutely HATES getting his picture taken, I don't know why! The little pill!

This is Ethan and his really good friend (Angelo) that he made while being at preschool.

Here is Ethan showing off his diploma. It was hard to get a really good picture of him, since he was behind someone.

Here he is trying to turn his tassle to the other side.

Here he is holding the tassle waiting for the teacher's to give them the cue to turn the tassle to the other side.

Here is Ethan peeking around another kid, and this is his class up on the stage.

Here is Ethan standing while they are saying the pledge of allegiance

I grabbed a quick picture while the kid in front of him was up getting his diploma, so I could see Ethan better.

Here is Ethan with his teachers Miss Pam, and Miss Leslie. He really loved these teachers and so did I, they were so good!!! This is when they gave him his diploma in front of everybody on the stage.

This is Ethan walking up the stairs onto the stage to take his seat. They had them walk in the room and down the center to the usual graduation music. They really went to town for this graduation.

Ethan looking so happy to be there. Your probably wondering why he is dressed so casual for his graduation. Well I asked the teachers if he needed to dress up for it, and they said no, just have him wear what he would normally wear to school. So I did! I wish I would have ignored them, and dressed him up a bit. Most of the other kids were dressed the same, but there were a couple that were in their church clothes and it looked so much better. Oh well! It's just preschool right? They had a little reception for them afterward also, with refreshments, and he got a report card, and he did sooo good, and the teachers said that they loved him, and he was always so good( whoa, they must of seen a different side than we do) and that they really enjoyed him in their class. I can't believe he is done, and now it is time to move on to kindergarten. WOW!!!!

Ethans Preschool graduation: Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Kids Playing Outside

This bike was Ethan's but we just got it out for Hannah, and she LOVES it! She puts her feet up and holds on and loves it when you push her around, so we have to ride it to get the mail each day.

Ethan still doesn't like to ride this bike, we keep trying to make him ride it, and he will for a couple of minutes and then he gets frustrated and puts it away. There are quite of few of his friends that can ride bigger bikes without training wheels, and we keep telling him he needs to buck up and learn. This kid is such a wimp sometimes!

Hannah's favorite thing to do is pick up all the rocks in the yard, everytime we go out that is what she does. She makes piles on the sidewalk, or puts them in her mouth. YUM!


I showed Hannah how to smell some flowers one time, and now she always has to do it if she see's some flowers. She's such a nut!

Here are the two kiddos playing around on the front porch. They love to live outside! I don't know what I am going to do when it is 115 degrees outside. Because we spend alot of time outside playing and going for walks in the wagon.

WHO KNEW?!?!

So, is this picture for real or what? These two things don't really seem to go together, but if it is indeed for real, then you go Snoop Dog!

*Chuck E Cheese*

I know this post is a little past due, but it takes me so dang long to download pictures, that it has taken awhile to get to it. For Ethan's birthday, we decided we would take him to dinner to a place of his choice, and can you guess where he picked? Chuck E Cheese, where else!!! He LOVES playing arcade games, so he had a really good time, he loves trying to get alot of tickets to pick a prize at the end. We had a fun time that night, and even Hannah got some fun in too.

Hannah had to do her thing also, so she rode some little kiddy rides

Ethan and Dave playing some skee ball

Hannah riding some more fun rides, she loved them, Ethan still isn't too sure about moving rides!

Check out these cool new magazines!

So I came across these cool new magazine subscriptions, and I thought you might all want to subscribe to one of these!!!

WHO"S IT GOING TO BE????????

So who do you think is going to win???? I can't decide who I want to win. I like both of them the same. They each have a distinct sound and a different genre. Let me know who you want to win, I am curious to know!!!!

Fathers and Sons Outing

Dave's parents came down this past weekend, so that Dave's dad could go to our ward's fathers and sons outing. They had a really good time. Ethan absolutely loved it! He played nonstop with the other little boys in the ward. Dave said that he couldn't see Ethan anywhere, and found him and some other boys down in a ravine, or as Ethan called it "a trench". It was held up at Mt. Charleston, and they said that it got really cold at night, but it didn't seem to bother Ethan. Dave was so excited to take Ethan camping for the first time. I am glad that they had a good time.

Here they are again

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO MY "5" YEAR OLD!!!!!

I want to wish my favorite little boy a very happy birthday! He brings so much joy to our lives, and we wouldn't know what we would do without him. I can't believe your "5", you have grown so fast. The time with you has past so fast, and you have grown up right before our eyes. I can't believe you are starting kindergarten this fall, what a big boy. Five years ago today, I was holding you in my arms for the first time. Our world became so much better five years ago, and you still continue to make our lives wonderful! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Ethan!!!

We love you so much!

Love- Mom, Dad, and Hannah

It's Official!!!

My little boy is now officially registered for kindergarten this fall!!!

Can you believe he is going to be in kindergarten already? I can't!!! Today was kindergarten registration at Ethan's elementary, so we went and got him all signed up and ready to go. He got to go inside and see what it was like. He seems to be really excited to start, but he does keep saying why does he have to go everyday and not just tuesdays and thursdays like he does in preschool. My baby is growing too fast! Where have these past 5 years gone? I will miss him being at home with me all the time.

Playing at the Park

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the park one evening and had a fun time playing with the kids and enjoying the good weather.

Isn't this a cute one of Ethan and Hannah?!

Ethan was helping Hannah play on the playground.

Hannah loves to go down slides, so Dave took her down it.
