A New Blankie

A lady I work for Laura made Ethan a new blankie. This is great because now he can carry this one and not trip and he loves it just like the other. My mom thought I shrunk it in the wash. here are some pictures of Ethan opening up his new blankie.

I have been so busy

I am sorry friends and family Ethan and I have been really busy after the holidays. We are now getting ready for new years Grandma is babysitting for us so Marcus and I can go out but as of now we don't have any plans yet so I will keep you posted. Ethan has been a real busy boy his favorite thing to do is spin and scream. He spins till he falls down it is so funny I will try to video next time. I am getting ready to start a new sitting job( just for 2 months )I will be watching 2 year old twins a boy and a girl from 12 -6:30 monday through friday. Ethan will have so much fun I will post some pictures.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS HEAT!!!

Well This morning at 2am our apartment got really cold so we called the 24 hour emgency line. At 4am nobody called so I called my neighbor to see if she had a long lighter to light the pilot light. She did not but she had a space heater so at 4 20am she brought it over and we were a little warm but still no hot water. So at 9 am Ethan woke up and we were going to open presents but We were so tired and just wanted to sleep so we got up and started to open presents it was still cold and Ethan was fussy. So marry freakin Christmas. Marcus went in the extra utility closet and luckily he fixed it by 10 am so by 1 30pm the 24 hour guy called us back I said why didn't you call us last night??? well he said I was sleeping I said thats great I wish I was sleeping I just was so ticked off that I hung up then about an hour later he stopped by well all I know is its cold and we don't deserve this. Our Christmas was horrible by 7pm and after I got a nap and had some food it was better and Ethan enjoyed his toys so here are the pictures of our happy son.

Grandpa comes to visit

My dad stopped by see Ethan before Christmas. We gave him a few gifts. We never get to see my dad he is always so busy with his family and on weekends we are always doing other stuff. Hopefully we will see him again soon Ethan had fun playing ball and showing off.

A visit to Talisha 's

These are Talishas youngest Terell is 3 and Jemel is 5 I have known Talisha for at least 10 years We use to go out every weekend and now we just work and sleep it is so sad that we are to busy to see each other I have not seen her since last june and we live less than 5 mins away but that is what happens when you have kids. She gave Ethan a great gift a laugh and learn dog Thanks T he loves the dog.

WE HAVE BEEN SO BUSY

Well Ethan and I have seen so many people before Christmas here are some photos 1st one is This family I have known for 17 years. I started watching Alana when she was 2 months old a few years later they had Billy I never watched him because they live in Hawii and only visit 2 times a year. Now that Lougen has remarried they have a new guy Bode who is 2 Ethan had so much fun playing with him at first he had to warm up but by the time we had to leave they we best buddies.

Friday night job

I have been watching these two boys for 3 years now Spencer is 4 ( I think he really is 6 the way he talks and the way he acts) then his brother Ryan is 6 and man these boys are so creative Ryan loves to draw and build submarines out of boxes and he uses so much tape but it makes him happy. Well Spencer wanted to dress like Santa so he took his daddies stocking and taped a piece of crumpled paper and he made the pom pom then he needed a white gloves for his hands and a red sweater of coarse Well this kept him busy for 10 minutes.

Ethan Just Wants to have fun

I needed to get ready for my evening job so I put Ethan is the crib and he starts to dance. Ethan loves music but he is dancing to lullabies (what a funny baby)

my other kids

OK so everyone knows I watch other kids and I never send out pictures so here are some pictures of Ethan best friend Timmy I have watched him for 7 years now and now Ethan really enjoys him they chase each other and Ethan loves to push him and climb on him. To bad Timmy does not like Ethan s drool. Timmy has a big brother but he is always doing homework so he never gets to play with Ethan.

wow only 3 days till Christmas

Well alot has gone on well I went to lunch with my friend peggy with her 6 month old twins and Zack he is 8 and my other friend Christina who is expecting a baby girl in may Well Ethan broke a plate I mean it shattered so from now on I will bring plastic plates. I forgot my camera so no pictures but man I wish I did because I would have had a few to shots but maybe we will get together again someday.

A visit to aunties

we miss Serenity

This is Ethan first girl pal They are only 5 days apart Ethan learned how to walk watching serenity and they went trick or treating together They also had their very first lollipop together She moved to Maine a month ago We were so sad to see her leave . Ethan would play at least 3 times a week and I would go over just to hang out with her mommy. The kids played so well together and now we are making a few new friends but she was the best and we miss her very much but hopefully in june we will go visit and see her new baby brother.

The Weekend

Well the weekend came and went we ran around trying to finish Christmas shopping. Well I am done for Marcus and Ethan but next week Marcus will finish his list. Ethan has been a really busy boy he stayed up till at 1 30am on Sat but Sunday Ethan was in bed by 10 30 which is back to normal. Our week will be very busy I will keep everyone updated. For some of the family Ethan can dance, say a few words (mama. dada, tree, woof woof, this,that,blankie is e , a few signs) He knows the signs are hat, baby, more, he learns new stuff everyday. He has been a very happy kid and loves to put things in and out of containers. During the weekend Ethan loves to play video games with daddy well thats all for now.

Our little 15 month old Ethan

Ethan favorite things to do are put things in and out of containers he can do this for hour (well until he gets frustrated) Our little guy loves music loves to dance to anything every time grandma comes over he goes to his cd played and points for his cd to be played and it works Grandma comes over about 3 times a week just so I can run around without Ethan. It is so nice for free babysitting.

It's saturday

Who knows what will be going on today I have to work at 4 30 this afternoon untill maybe midnight So that means daddy and Ethan will play. Well last night I took Ethan to the mall till 11pm I know its late but I want him to sleep and maybe if I tire him out I will get some sleep(won't that be nice) Well he is one of my favorite pictures of Ethan this was back in October we were at the park and Ethan found a wagon and crawled in and had his snack Then he went off to play little boys.

Welcome to Our 1st Blog!

We started a blog to update family and friends on our life and adventures with Ethan. Here is Ethan playing in the snow for the 1st time! We had our 1st snow of the season last week. Of course it has melted just as quickly as it came and now we are looking at warmer temperatures again. We are expecting an ice storm this weekend so we will probably stay snug and warm inside. Please come visit our blog regularly to see pictures of Ethan! We may even include a picture of Marcus and I every now and again:)
