My Friend Baby Jameson

Jameson gets a tiny bit bigger every time we see him. He's up to 11 lbs now. I swear I can't remember Ethan that small. Ethan LOVES babies. We were talking yesterday and he was running through the list of people he knows asking if they had babies (none of which do). So, he gets his baby fix when we meet up with Becca. :)

Happy Mother's Day

"A mother can take the place of everyone else, but no one in the world can take her place." Even at (almost) 38, my mom is the one person I can go to for anything! She gives great advice, listens when I need to vent, thinks of her kids everyday, is an amazing cook, would drop anything to help and loves us unconditionally. I can call her when I'm in the grocery store and can't remember the ingredients for meatloaf, ask her what to fill out on an application or call her to my aide when I'm sick. She's always there for me, no matter what. I sure hope when Ethan is an adult he'll think of me in the same way - not only as his mother, but as a best friend. "I love you Mama and Grammie!" - Ethan

Happy Birthday Carter

Ethan's friend Carter just celebrated his 4th birthday. It was the first "kids" birthday party for Ethan. Carter's mom, Jen, had planned everything around a garbage truck theme with trashy games and food, to making "dirt" pudding and giving a shirt to each child that read "I got trashed at Carter's 4th birthday party!" Sooooo creative!

Boating on the Lake

Ethan's 1st time on the lake was when Uncle Jason and Mai recently came to town. Grandpa rented a boat for us to cruise around in for the afternoon. Ethan really got a kick out of steering it and making it go fast. Clearly, he'd make a great race car driver! Grammie had made a gourmet picnic lunch while we watched for wildlife and enjoyed the beauty of Arizona.
