Groovin out...

Scroll down....

I uploaded the pics of Lainey girl the other day and saved them. I finally got to her post, but when I saved it, it put it on the date that I had made it. I am too lazy to start it over, so just scroll down to PIGTAILS GONE WRONG....ah geez.

Pigtails gone WRONG!

Have you ever tried to chase a 1 and a half year old around the house for 30 minutes trying to get pigtails in her hair. Let me tell you, it is a challenge! As you can see, my efforts were fruitless...they were all askew..sad thing is, I left them in! I was so worn out after chasing her all around the house that I just didn't have it in me to do her hair AGAIN. Oh, and yes, her face is bright red because we had some ranch with lunch :).
She is the biggest ham!


All she wants to do these days is CLIMB....ugh..

Baby Lainey girl....

Last B-day shout out!!

As the month of March is coming to an end, I have just one shout out left...this is for my sister-in-law..really I guess she would be my step-sister-in law, but really, that just sounds funny! So here ya go Lisa, HAPPY 29th B-day!!! We hope that you have a wonderful day and try not to think about NEXT year when you will be REALLY OLD! Ha, just jokin..well, sort of :). Lisa is a super-mom, she is the mother of 3 young girls and let me tell you, she has one tough job! I love Lisa to death, she is so much fun to be around. I always feel at ease when hanging out with her. She accepts you for who you are and passes no judgements. She is a great gal! Plus, she is a GREAT photographer..anyone in Utah who is in need of some pics, give her a call, she is wonderful! Here is her web link: http://lisarichardsonphotos.com/
Happy B-day Lisa!

OUR BIRTHDAY BOY!

Happy 6th birthday E-bear! I can hardly believe that he is 6 now....the years have somehow flown by. Ethan is such a happy boy and we love him more than words can say. We are planning on taking him out to dinner this week at a Teppanyaki restaurant (like Benihana's) compliments of Grandpa J and Grandma Reading. He LOVES to go out to eat. We are also being really brave parents and will be taking 6 of Ethan's friends to Okinawa World this Sunday. It was originally going to be 3 friends, but you know how that goes. Hopefully we will survive the afternoon and I'll make sure to take lots of pics. Here are a few from his birthday morning...Thanks everyone for the great b-day gifts. He loves them!
P.S. We are planning on going to the post office today to get our package from Grandma Pat. Pics will be posted soon!



Here are Ethan's presents...such a boy! Thanks again Grandpa Bryan & Grandma Trish, Grammy Barb and Marc, Grandpa J and Grandma Reading and Grandma Pat!

Happy Birthday Holland!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Holland! We love you!! We have been gone most of her life, but we get updates through Lisa's blog and we think she is such a funny, cute little girl! We can't wait to be closer so that we can get to know her better! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Ethan's projects

Ethan made his army the other day when it was raining. He was getting really upset when Lainey would come by and take a few. She could have cared less about the little army men, but when she found out it made her brother scream, she couldn't get enough of them!




Ethan learned about recycling this week in class. They all got to make houses out of recycled stuff. Ethan came home all excited to show me this. He said that it is our new house when me move back to the states....please please don't let that be true!! The teacher said that when it was his turn to show off his masterpiece, he gave quite a lengthy, detailed speech about the house. Wish I could have been there :).
