Ethan cracks me up!

Ethan and I right before he got his haircut. Well, my little fellar is the most sweetest, kindest boy you would ever meet, but he is very honest and he is noticing my ever changing body!

About a month ago we were sitting on the computer chair playing pbskids and he said, "Mom, your bum is darling." I didn't know where he got that from but I was like, alright sweet, I've got a darling behind! Then he said "Ya, darling means kind of BIG!" I just had to laugh.

Then about a week or two later, Jared had just set up the bunk beds and he chose to read books up on his top bunk. He was already up there and I was climbing the ladder and he said, "Mom, I hope your bum bum doesn't get stuck in my ladder." Okay, I get it already, my butt is growing at the same rate as my belly! I just love all the funny things that the kids say.

Hogle Zoo~Jan 2009

The kids had such a fun time watching the chimps, or were they the orangutangs? I am not up to par with my zoo animals. I am happy they have signs at every stop! She is playing with a leaf entertaining them. Pretty cool.

Jared put the camera on timer, not too shabby! I think we saw about 4 other people the whole time at the zoo. January is definitely the month to visit the animals!

Ethan could have watched the giraffes all day long, it was pretty smelly in there but it was warm.

Lydia measuring up to the gorilla? I thought they were bigger than that..hmm. She liked most of the animals. What a fun day with the boo-sie!

Taking a stroll to where the white alligator used to be, now it is just an empty, warm, smelly swamp!

I just love my little fellar, he is such a fun loving kid.

Spaghetti Factory

This was the night before Lydia's bday, we took advantage of Spaghetti Factory's Anniversary special. Ethan is into making a goofy face in every picture lately. Papa just had shoulder surgery, hope he recovers quickly.
Abby and Katie a few weeks prior, what pretty girls.

Some Random Pictures

Lydia Jean, my little stamping queen. She just loves to "stamp it!"

Jared made a mini snow slope for Ethan to practice snowboarding on. You can somewhat see their huge snowman they built about a month prior.

My mom took this picture at my 20 week ultrasound. That was 3 weeks ago. Wow, how time is just a flyin! A few names we are thinking about this week: Samantha, Emily, Claire, Ella.

Ethan just loves to play his Wii games. He is pretty good for a 5 1/2 yr old!

Lydia has chocolate icecream on her face. The kids have so much fun playing together. I hope it never ends. Some of their fav's lately: Hide and seek, Kitty Cat game, (where we all pretend to be cats) Jumping on the mini tramp together, running around the house while trashing it, scaring me and Dad with "BOO" every time we walk in the house. I just love them!

Matt and Clarissa on New Years Eve. We had fun hanging out with them. They are getting married June 20th. So excited for you two!
