These pics uploaded backward, sorry. We had a wonderful Christmas season. We got together with family as much as possible, including a trip to Las Vegas to see Sarah and Jerry. (no pictures of that because we forgot our camera) We had so much fun on Christmas Eve celebrating with my parents. We had a ham dinner, and celebrated many of our traditions. Santa found our house that night and spoiled us rotten! Our boys were so excited to wake up and see what he had left them. Ethan only wanted one thing, a Lego Batman game for our PS3. He is so easy to please. He said he just wanted surprises for the rest. Alex was a little more difficult, because we don't know what he wants or likes. He just plays with whatever Ethan is playing with. He also has a very short attention span. He received a new train table, with non-removable tracks! Yea for me!! I have spent many hours resetting train tracks in my short period of being a Mom. This will help greatly! Tanner got a double stroller. Also yea for me!! Santa knew just what we needed! The Christmas season is always a time to reflect on and remember our Savior and all he's done for us. This year we enjoyed teaching Ethan about the true meaning of Christmas and having him understand on a deeper level than before. Alex, on the other hand, just enjoyed all the celebrating and parties! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well! Happy New Year!
Sitting at a restaurant with cousins, Ethan leaned over and called out, "Mommy, can I have ribs?" I was surprised by this because he doesn't like to try new foods. I said, "Sure, do you like ribs?" He replied, "Yeah, are they chicken nuggets?"
While walking into the mall, Ethan was playing "spies" with his Spiderman glasses and secret spy pen. He turned to me and in his best spy voice said,"All right my friend, I'll check and make sure the ghost is clear".
Tonight as I was tucking Ethan into bed he said he doesn't want to grow up and be on the Jazz. He just wants to be a kid and stay on his soccer team. I asked him why, and he replied, "I don't think they have treats after the game when you're big".
I was laughing with my sister-in-law Sarah today about how crazy life is with small children. I told her someday we'll look back and be sad that we don't have any little people to clean up after or run around after. Right then Ethan came and asked for a spoonful of frosting. I laughed and told Sarah, "Someday Ethan won't be asking for spoonfuls of frosting anymore". Just then, Ethan piped up, "Yeah, maybe someday I'll ask for a spoonful of peanut butter!"
While driving over to Joseph's sister Rebecca's home one night, I gave Ethan the usual prep before playing with cousins. I said,"Ethan, I want you to play really nice with Hayden and Melodee, okay, and share." Ethan replied," Okay, who's Sher?"
Every time Alex starts to cry, Ethan comes and pats his face and says, "it's okay, I'm here".
While at his four year checkup, Ethan said "Is the nurse going to shot me?"
We were saying prayers with Ethan the other night, and right in the middle of it he stopped praying. After a few seconds, I told him to keep going. He responded, "I can't. I am just a little kid. My name starts with an E and a R. So I can't say my prayers."
