Yum, Yogurt!

Instead of eating his yogurt, Ethan decided to "share" it with Emma...
As you can see, Emma enjoyed it!

Open wide!

Drip, drip, drip from the chin...

Roar!

"Look at me!"

Ah, so cute!

All done and cleaned up!

A Cookin' Good Time!

Fun pictures of Ethan and Emma playing with their play kitchen...

Emma is going "Rambo" style with her beads...

Emma is very into what Ethan's doing...

Huh..???

Check out those ears!!! She needs some hair or wear a bow or something... Scott calls them Yoda ears... But I think they're cute!

Cuddle Bug!

Emma is just the perfect fit! Emma loves to be held and cuddled by mommy and daddy... She just looked so cute that I had to get some pictures!


Basket FULL of FUN!

Look what Ethan taught Emma....


I always thought a basket was to hold things... in this case it must be my kids...

There she goes...

Look at me...

Miss Destruction!

Now I have 2 little tornadoes! Emma leaves a path of destruction everywhere she goes. It's hard to keep up with the messes, but the fun Emma is having is priceless!

Emma got a hold of the preschool ABC poster and took all the letters off... the boys had fun putting the poster back together again the next day, but Emma liked the letters off not on!

Discovered the puzzles!


Yep! She did all this... Ethan didn't even have to help. Although, he did help me put the puzzles back together...

Father and Sons Campout!

Last weekend was our ward's father and sons camp out. Scott and Ethan had a fun time! It was Ethan's first camping experience.... I know... he's almost 4 and hasn't been camping... we do have a good excuse, promise... Scott has been busy the past few summers with work and last summer Emma was born, making it hard to go camping... So I was so excited for Ethan to have this experience!

All Ethan cared about was sleeping in the tent... the whole evening Ethan would keep asking Scott if they could go to bed. If you asked Ethan, that would be the highlight of his trip. Not the campfire, eating camp food, being with dad, or being in the mountains... it would be sleeping in a sleeping bag in a tent. So easy to please! The boys managed to keep warm and arrive home in one piece! It was a quiet night for me and Emma... ah, if only it was always that quiet!

Here are a few pics of Ethan camping...



Can't be camping unless you find the "right" stick!









...

More Texas

Here are a few random pics from Texas that I wanted to share... Ethan LOVED it here and keeps asking when we'll go back!

LOVE Grandma's umbrella!

Eating lunch under the umbrella!
Ethan fishing... He LOVED fishing by the time we left...

The fish were biting!
This pretty much sums up how Ethan felt about being at Grandma and Grandpa Caldwell's house!

Caldwell Zoo

We drove to Tyler to see the Caldwell Zoo... It was so much fun! Ethan loved seeing the lions, tigers, birds, elephants, and giraffes. I have to say that I was really proud of Ethan. He walked the whole time and didn't need to be carried or pushed in a stroller. It was a blast... sorry I didn't include pics of the animals, don't be too disappointed!Rachel... so cute! We were celebrating her 2nd birthday!
Linda is leading the way...

Lucky Emma got to see the zoo in the comfort of her stroller...

Ethan and Grandma Caldwell...

Sweet Emma was tuckered out!

About ready to take a little nap...

Everyone's rear end... feeding the ducks!

Ethan with Grandpa!

My man... yep, I took this pic!

Petting the goats...

Let's go home!

Texas Fun

The weather was perfect... we did have a few days that were cooler and rainy, but we also got some warm sunny days too. It didn't matter, rain or shine, Ethan was outside. It was a 3 year old's paradise. The rest of us also had fun hanging around outside and spending time together...Spending time on the pier looking at the fish...

Swinging... This swing was perfect! Ethan was able to push himself with his feet.

Me and Emma hanging out!

Ethan's first time on the paddle boat! He didn't really like the life jacket and I think he wasn't too sure about the boat thing. He looked a little stiff.

Many boat rides!



Look at Ethan... I don't think he is having the greatest time... He eventually warmed up to the boat!

Sweet little Hannah!

My precious little Emma...


She always has a smile for her Mama!

See, I'm her favorite!

Though, she loves her dada too... Especially when it came to the hammock.

Ethan playing with his new bouncy ball... He would roll it down the hill and the cousins would throw it back...

My family...!
