Adventures, Adventures!!!!



Life is full of adventures, Ethan has been crawling now for a while.  He is into everything and bangs into everything too.  It's funny, he is a dare devil yet also a little fraidy cat too.  He will dunk his head under the water in the tub, but get to a step, get his hands up and scream because he feels like he is stuck.  Wow how we love this little man.  He wants to be a big boy so bad.  We went the park and all he wanted to do was watch the kids play.  He would scream at them to try and get their attention and he wanted me to help him stand the whole time so he could be a big boy.  He tried to climb up the stairs to the deck a couple of weeks ago, he fell and got a fat lip.  Poor guy.  He was still pretty happy though.























I love going in to wake him up because this is how we usually find him. 






































He LOVES to stand.  He also loves to talk.  He says MA MA, Deddy(which is daddy), PA PA, and KINKY ( Which is Stinky,  Don't worry we wouldn't teach him that)!!!


Some of you know I just finished this show called the Taffetas.  I was asked a while ago to come back and do an alumni show.  It was so fun, but hard because Ross was gone for two and a half weeks during the rehearsal process luckily we had so much help from Randy and Sue.   Ross got home on opening night and surprised me with this beautiful bouquet.  He assured me it wasn't just for the show but for being a single mom for the last two weeks.  He is such a sweet guy, I love him very much.  It is so GOOD to have him home!!!

  





















I also had a little accident during the run of the show.  Before a performance one night I tripped and fell onto a light and got this beauty.  25 stitches!!!!  My life long dreams of becoming a leg model are no longer coming true!!! (oh well I guess that went out the window with child birth!  HA HA)  I really just didn't want my sister-in-law Annie to feel she had to be the only one with knee scars in the fam!!!  It looks worse than it was in this pic because I got hives from the sterry strips they used.  Anyway, I got the stitches out and it is healing up perfectly.  
















Trevor and Sarah had their baby Hudson Jay.  He is a cutie and we can't wait to see him in person next month!!!  He looks so much like Trev, but I can see some of Sarah in him too.  























I took Jen and Covey's engagement photo and here are some of my favorites from the shoot. 









































































































































So I have found a new favorite thing about living in colder climate now that I have a little boy:

HATS!!!






























































Who says you can't accessorize boys?  I know it's not ribbons and bows, but I still think beanies and hats on this baby boy are the cutest!!!  Stay tuned for Ethan's many hats this winter!!!!
