December Zoo Trip

We had a family trip to the Zoo Today. 

Ethan loves animals and had so much fun there.  He walked the entire zoo.  Ethan and Nana explored the Lions.

 It's so cute watching Ethan look at all the animals.  He often would make sounds thinking they were dogs or horses or such. 

 Ethan was a little scared of the snake because his dad scared him.  We tried to so him it was okay but he still felt the need to hide behind his Nana. 

 Ethan and Bubba Brett. 

 Ethan and Dada watching the Tiger Cubs.  They were really playful and Ethan would smile and laugh at them.

 We watched the monkeys for awhile.  Ethan decided he would hug the "Whowho" (monkey)

 Ethan was excited and a little scared of them getting so close.  There was a baby Chimp that was so cute and kept holding onto her mama. 

 Last stop on the way out was the toys. 

It was great having a family day.  Ethan loves having this special time with everyone. 

Catch Up

So I have been terrible about blogging lately. It started by my computer dying, then not getting the new one set up, and then just life. This post is just a recap of the past few months. This is really going to show how long it has been. I will try to be better about keeping everyone up to date.

When the weather was still real nice we spent a ton of it outdoors. Ethan loves his water table and wanted to play with this everyday we came home. Of course we went to the State Fair when it was here. This year was a lot of fun because Ethan was excited about different parts. He loved watching the pigs race.

We even played a few games. So much fun watching these experiences from his eyes.

We won prizes too!

The animals were his favorite. This boy loves all types of animals and even makes most of the sounds. It is so cute.

For Thanksgiving we went to see all of our families. We started off at my Grandparents house for lunch. I did not take many pictures there. Ethan and his cousin Rhett watching Cars. They had a lot of fun together.

Papa, Nana, and Ethan.

Since we did not eat with the Parrish family we all went bowling that night. This was Ethan's first time to bowl. Ethan had such an amazing time. He played and was a perfect little guy this night.

Watching his bowling ball go down. Wishing very hard for a strike.

Of course we had to get snacks.

December 17, 2011. This weekend we went with some family downtown for some family fun. We had planned on snow tubing but it was sold out. Ethan loves walking around the ball park. Here is a picture of him with his cousins (Haleigh and Haidyn). Ethan loves his cousins so much. He just follows them around.

Ethan and Uncle Mark.

Mommy and her little man!

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas season. We are enjoying out time together as a family. We have been amazed how much Ethan has grown and matured this past month. Our little man is definitely not a baby any more. We are so blessed to have Ethan and are treasuring every day we have. Merry Christmas!
