We have been on a guitar hero kick lately and Ethan just loves it!! He gets "his" guitar and starts to rock out while we are playing the songs on the tv. When we are done and they started cheering on the screen he drops the guitar and screams and claps his hands. How cute! I love this little guy. We are already starting to prepare for our trip to Arizona in August. Time really sneaks up on us especially these last few months. So if I start planning now then I won't be caught off guard in 3 1/2 weeks when it is time to leave.

We have almost stopped nap time completely now and boy is it an adjustment. Not only for Ethan but for me and Jacob as well. It is much harder to get things done and there is certainly less time for me to do things for myself as well. Today was especially rough and we missed church completely because of several tantrums and throwing time out incidents. But we are recovering and the day seeems to be getting better (knock on wood).

My little rocker!

Our 4th was pretty quiet. Jacob had to work and Ethan made a mess of the house! We were going to go Thanksgiving Point with my cousin Katie and her husband Kai but something came up and they weren't able to come so we found somewhere closer to home to see fireworks. They didn't start untill 10 that night so Ethan was up all day long and was so tired!!

We bought some sparklers and he thought those were the coolest thing on earth untill he realized that I was not going to let him hold one and then a few poo hoo's kicked in.

When the fireworks started though he was all eyes and pointing and brought out his cute little "santa laugh'. He just sat there and stared and went 'ho ho ho'. It's this little chuckle thing he does!
