After a fun week in Texas they made there way back to Utah. Nathan and Ethan loved being in Texas with everyone. They were so happy they got to spend time with Carvers and Abrahams and Andersons (Carrie fam) of course. I love this picture of Ethan with Grandma & Grandpa Abraham! Ethan for some reason kept getting confused and called Grandpa, Grandma....so for him there were 2 Grandmas, ha ha I'm sure Grandpa loved that ;)
I was curious to see how Nathan would do all on his own with Ethan, I wasn't too worried but I am a mother. They make a great team though. Nathan did come back saying he understands why at the end of the day I am a little tired and ready for Daddy/son time: )
What an exciting week though, thanks to Grandma Abraham organizing everything they had so much fun. They went to 6 flags, which Nathan hasn't done for at least 5 years! He had a lot of fun riding rides with Christy.
Ethan of course loved the big park with all of the commotion going on. He really enjoyed the water spouts that he could walk under and get wet! Here's a couple of cute pics of 6 flags......riding the swing ride with Jackson, riding the train like his favorite "Thomas".
We are so thankful that Ethan has such a fun Grandma that went to so much trouble to have such an adventure filled week for him. He enjoyed swimming, parks, reading, painting and playing the piano.
Here's some fun pics :
The boys were also able to hit a Rangers game with the family! GO TEXAS!
And of course we had to include some pictures of the Mustang. Ethan is pretending he's driving here......(and you know secretly Nathan is a little jealous).
Nathan had to re-live childhood memories of riding the old dirt bike. Ethan assumed this was brought out for him to try on ;)
The boys were able to have FHE with the Carver's & Anderson family. Carrie and Caitlin organized an early birthday party for Ethan. Here's Ethan with Uncle Jeffrey and Aunt Caitlin preparing for the cake...
The Carver cousins just wanted to help E out a little blowing out the car candles : ) It seems Ethan thought he had this under control ha ha I don't know how he felt about that.
Caitling is so creative....she organized this really cute F.H.E. that all of the kids could join in on.....I think Ethan is just studying what he's working with. (that boy is always studying and trying to figure everything out, the meaning behind things.)
Here's a couple of other cute pics with Uncle J and Ethan and Addalynn (Chris's little girl). I've had a few people tell me that those two cousins could pass as brother and sister, what do you think? People always thought my brother Chris and I were twins when we were little (we're only 15 months apart) it's funny we always have people tell us that our kids look alike. I wonder what our little girl will look like.......I guess we have about 3 1/2 months to find out.....we'll see.
He had 2 main presents this year. Thomas the Train mobile and a little fish, which we asked him what's your fish's name? and he would say..."Emo" which is "Nemo" in our language. He's really into "Nemo" right now, one of his favorite movies. So here's a picture of his cake....I did my best to make it look like Nemo, it did taste good and that's the important thing right?
