This morning, Ethan, Annie and I went to the Scout Office and the mall. We got E some new shoes and he LOOOOVES THEM. He was running all over the mall as fast as he could go and is so excited to play soccer with them. 🙂

It was a normal day after school: homework, piano, playing with friends the rest of the day.
When I was running on the treadmill, I saw this and have been soooo disturbed all day:

The lady was reporting that laws criminalizing adultery are being abolished in South Korea, as well as in the U.S. Then, along the bottom, on the ticker, it was reporting that Facebook used to have “Male” and “Female” options. But then they offered 58 other options for those who don’t identify themselves as Male, Female, or homosexuals or maybe even five other descriptions….FIFTY-EIGHT!!!!!! But NOW they offer “FILL IN THE BLANK” for those who don’t even fall under those 58 descriptions….

I don’t think legal ramifications ever should have been what deterred people from committing adultery, and there probably never should have been government LAWS passed to prevent it. BUT, UUUGGGHH, this screen shot is just such a disgusting commentary on our society. We are going to Hell in a handbasket, folks. IN A HANDBASKET!!!!!

Okay, so the newest game craze in our house is CROSSY ROAD. ALL the kids LOVE IT and I can finally support and LOVE this game, also! It’s just a newer, cooler – but still blocky – version of Frogger! THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ‘BOUT!!!!

I know I’ve said this many times before, but if Ethan loves something, he wants to share it. He wants everyone to taste, see, feel, EXPERIENCE whatever it is that he loves. He said,”Mom! Come play Crossy Road with me! It is so fun! You’re gonna LOVE IT!” Who can resist such an offer?

Ash had another game tonight.

Annie’s full-time outfit for the last two days has been her swimming suit and floaties. She REFUSES to wear anything else and asks to go swimming all day. So today we skipped naps, I checked Ashton and Emmy out of school early and we went swimming at the Provo Rec. It was pretty empty and these four had a blast! Ash, Em and Ethan were best buds the whole time, swimming in the lazy river and playing basketball in the lap pool. Annie was FREEZING after a while so I wrapped her up and held her, thinking she’d fall asleep. Nope. She and I sat there laughing and laughing at Ash and Emmy. Their basketballs would get stuck in the net each time they made a shot. So they had to jump from the side of the pool to knock the basketballs out. Soooo many belly flops. I was dying!

Here’s what happens whenever Ethan skips a nap. Poor little guy.

Steph invited us over for a delicious dinner! The perfect way to spend a Friday night, letting all the cousins run wild while the grown-ups chill. These three love playing barbies together. SOOO CUTE!!!

My Baby is ONE YEAR OLD!!!

by Jenn Carr

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I truly cannot believe that Ethan is ONE! When I really sit for a second and think about how quickly time goes by, I honestly have trouble breathing and tears come instantly to my eyes!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!

On Ethan’s birthday, we went swimming at Rich and Dallas’. It was a gorgeous day and a perfect birthday afternoon for Ethan.

Chillin’ on Uncle Rob’s lap. Sooooo cute. He just sat there comfy as can be for 30 minutes.

We had a tiny birthday celebration the next day. We kept it very low key with just our little fam. Ashton and Emmy LOVED picking out gifts for Ethan. Ethan had lots of help opening his presents, blowing out his candles and eating his cake. 🙂

And, just like Ashton and Emmy, he HATED having frosting all over him and it wasn’t long before he freaked out.

Aside from the VERY rare freak out, this little guy is just sooo mellow and content. He is a perfect angel and is so patient with Emmy and Ashton who love him to pieces and can never get enough hugs, kisses or tackles. Yes, tackles. Poor guy. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love my sweet little Ethan.

10 Months Old!!!

by Jenn Carr

I…CANNOT…BELIEVE…HOW FAST THIS YEAR IS GOING!!!! How is Ethan almost one year old?!??! Welp, it’s true, he is ten months old. I can’t even express how much I love this little guy.

He is CLOSE to crawling, sooooo close. He rolls all over the place now. We sat behind a family at church with a baby who I found out was born the exact same day as Ethan. Their little guy was ALL OVER the place, crawling soooo fast! It was amazing. I was so thankful, for the first time, that Ethan was content to just sit on my lap. Just stay with me, Baby Ethan. Don’t grow up too fast!

Ethan got his first haircut the other day. His hair was so long, it looked like a little pile of hay, all messy most of the time. So we took him to Aunt Kassy and he was SOOOOO GOOD! He just sat there like he had done it a million times. His cuteness was killing me!
