Do they look a like?

I love this outfit and was glad to see we were going to have a rainy cold august day so I could put Ethan in it. It's so snugly warm and Ethan loves to give us lots of hugs! Let me know if you think they look alike... Eric's picture is 1st and then Ethan's picture

Ethan's Birthday Party!

0

We had a great no frills party...Ethan was particular when eating his cake, but that didn't last for long! Ethan got great gifts and I can't believe he's already 1! We celebrated the day after Ethan's real birthday, and it was perfect weather for an outdoor party.

He's not even 1 yet! give him a few days

Well, Ethan is just under a week from being 1 and he is busy! Today he learned how to climb onto the couch to get to the remotes or our phones. He's walking more on his own and standing w/out help from anything! Where does the time go?







A quick walking picture!

Fun on Hood Canal

I packed our car up will everything I thought I'd need for a long day by the water and after church we headed to Hood Canal. Eric had fun walking in the water, looking at sea~shells and riding in boats of all kinds! Ethan just hung around, he got a few swings and spent time w/ his favorite Auntie and Uncle (they just returned from missions for the past three months!) Eric was able to go on his first speed boat ride and said he wanted to drive the boat, but couldn't at the time. As we were headed back to the dock Eric fell asleep on Nunnie's lap, and missed his chance to drive the boat...next time. We missed Daddy who couldn't get the day off, but he enjoyed the stories and pictures. Now we'll share with you, enjoy!

The Malave's Wedding Reception

The reception was wonderful, we missed the ceremony due to traffic on the Tacoma Narrow's bridge. The wedding was on Hood Canal at the family's house. We had a great time at the reception and here are a few photo's from the lovely event!

A day with our Nunnie

We drove about an hour to check on things over at what Eric like to call "Nunnie's small house." Since Patty (Nunnie) just returned from her summer mission trip, we wanted to spend time all together. It's a lot of work, but it has always been and will be for a little while longer with both boys in tow. We stopped by the house then went to the park/beach right down the road. While at the beach Eric got to get wet, which he loved and even Ethan got his feet wet! We noticed a blanket of rain coming our way so we got under a covered picnic area, where the boys ate their lunch. It's was a good thing because within minutes it was pouring buckets of rain. I got Eric in some dry clothes for the drive home and just as soon as I got him dry he was climbing the slide and soaked his dry pants when he slid down. Patty and I stopped for lunch, and to let Eric play a little more (I wanted to run him out.) Not getting much time to talk without correcting Eric on the way up, Patty and I got to chat on the way home while the boys napped. I can't speak for Patty, but we had a great time and will treasure our day with Nunnie!
