HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Well this was Ethan's first Halloween and we had a really good time! As you can see at the first part of our little trick or treating he didn't even really make it around to 2 houses, so he was out! Then about 5 houses later he was awake and ready to hit the doors!! He was a real trooper... and everyone said how adorable he was, of course I agree!

This is Sarah our friends little girl, she was a candy corn and was so adorable. She just loved on Ethan all night! He tried to give her a Ethan kiss when she first saw him tonight and then from then on i Guess it was love at first sight! Little Avery was a ballerina and played the part so well!

Ethan for sure had his game face on when we were finally making our end through the neighborhood. And he was very excited to finally get his costume off! Like this picture shows.

Anyway, I hope you all had a great fun filled night with your kids and for yourselves!

This is it now... we will be putting a shelf on the right side.

(Brand NEW ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)

In that past month Layne and I have had to move and deal with more then we have wanted to.
Well a positive time was when we finally were able to get a washer and Dryer! YAY! So we had it delivered and about a week later we had to move into another apartment because of the hurricane.
So First when the complex hired Movers they moved my washer and dryer... When I went to make sure they were being moved carefully I found some wonderful scratched on my DRYER!! I wouldn't worry about it but they look like they were just beat up, so we are waiting for them to take care of the cost to replace what they ruined!
2nd. In our new apartment the layout is great other then the laundry room, you can tell that it was a man that designed it... So in order for my washer and dryer to be hooked up and fit, they have to be stacked, well since the last week in September we have been trying to get sears out here to stack them! Well apparently scheduling a simple 10 min job is hard for these people to do... they FINALLY after rescheduling my appointment SEVEN TIMES after 6 NO Shows and lame reasons that the tech couldn't do it!! They got the job done yesterday! So you can only imagine how much freaking laundry I have! But not to worry, I didn't have to pay a dime... not after that head ache!

*.* Holocaust Museum *.*

Just this last Sunday our little family went to down town and ventured to the Holocaust Museum. It was free so I figured what the heck a free activity plus and educational out ting for us! We didn't get to go through all of it because there was SO much and we only made it in time for 45min of a tour. I have more pictures so when I get those Ill post those as well. This is a memorial to all those that lost their lives. I couldn't help but cry because of all the pictures and the graphic description of what they went through. Mostly the children, it was so heart breaking to read and see what they did to all those poor people. When we walked into this room it made my heart ache so much. There was also a monument for the children, that picture ill post here soon! It sure makes you stop and think how lucky we are to have our freedom... (So don't vote for OBAMA :) Anyway, I am truly thankful for what we have, And I cant help shake the feeling I had when we went and saw all that was there. It was an eye opener for me.

*.* WATeR BoTtlEs *.*

Well I dont know if he was just thristy or just being a stinker! Right before we moved we had all these water bottle from the hurricane... I didnt have anymore rooom in my fridge to put them so they just got put on the kitchen floor.... Well it was sure a happy time for Ethan, he has so much fun just dumping them all out. When I would walk into the kitchen and ask him what he thought he was doing he would get that big smile and just laugh at me! So I just took a picture and walked away! Kept him busy and i was okay with that!

*.* Mr. Curly *.*

Well my little boy is getting his hair... and lucky me it is going to be curly like his dad's! YAY! And it is so cute! But he looks like he has my hair color... so I guess that is okay. Layne isn't really that okay with people playing with his curly hair but over time he has come to be more comfortable with me running my fingers through it, so i hope that Ethan will be a little more ok with me enjoying the softness of his curly hair!

*.* FuN TimE @ DiNnEr TImE *.*

Ethan has started coping me when I was clicking my tongue at him, now he is doing it very well. As you can see he is very happy. But I guess most anyone that I know is very happy after their bellies are full from eating more then they should! He is just so fun, so I wanted to share with you all his little self at dinner time!

*.* JiBbEr JaBbEr BaTh TImE *.*

Ethan is for sure loving to take baths , he sure does love it when Layne and I are in there giving him someone to talk to while he is being a little fish! This is how bath time is every morning and night! its a time of day and Night that I look forward to having with him.

*.* Ba-BA-BADO*.*

Ethan has been saying BA-Ba-BADO! Layne has been loving it and it is really cute!

So we finally got it on video, and I cant help but laugh everytime he does it, mostly when Layne gets him to say it and he just smiles when Layne does it!

*.* GoINg 2 WOrk WiTh DaD *.*

Its gets kinda boring stayin at home all day so when Layne has a short day at work

Ethan and I will go out with him! So on our little outing Ethan and I had fun, hanging out in the back seat while dad drove around in the crazy city, and had a chance to take the wheel! Dont worry we were in the parking lot! But as I have found out Ethan isnt much of a shoper! HE Got Tierd of it and just got relaxed and fell asleep while we were on the move!

*.* ThAnKs To BaBy MeDiCinE ! *.*

Ethan is popping 4 more teeth on the top and all at the same time! So you can only imagine what he was like... he was so sick it broke my heart to see how sick he was... He only wanted me to cuddle him all day and just slept mostly. But along with being so fussy he was running a 101.9 Fever and it finally broke through the night! I had to go to the store to get him some teething tablets and some Motrin because he was getting to warm, but about 15 minutes after I have him the meds this is what he was like!!

Layne and I were wondering if i gave him to much because he was being so silly... a little high maybe... oops... but he was happy!!!

3nJoY!

*.* New CallIng(s) *.*

Our new Callings in church were kind of a shock!

I was asked to Lead the music in Sacrament and to also be in charge of the music in Primary!!

I am really nervous about getting up in front of so many people and acting like I know what I am doing, I am not one to like being up in front alone... so I am glad that I dont have to do much other then wave my arm around... but I think that working with the little kids will be a great blessing and a great time!!

Layne is now the Webelos Cub Scout Leader!!

We are very excited to be apart of each new task and hope that we will be able to do it well!

*.AGAIN.... AHHHH.*

So I just wanted to let everyone know that we are moving again... Yes you read that right!

Because of the hurricane our apartment complex has informed us after a month of sleeping on the floor and living in a mess that we Should have been moved out as soon as they tore out our ceilings and the mold started to grow in our apartment. We had a kind gentleman come and let me know that another apartment will be ready on Thursday after 5pm for us to move into. So we get to pack up all our things AGAIN and move into another place that is not a going to kill us! So I am looking like this poor child!!! No need to explain any more... Its says it all!

*.* HeRe AnD THeRe *.*

Here is what we wake up to everyday... and everynight... So to you all that are living where the snow is falling, We are thinking of you and will enjoy our paradise for you too!

*.* We FoUnd The PeRfeCt oN3 *.*

This will be Ethan's First Halloween!! Its crazy how fast time has passed!

But as we were walking around the mall we found this Giraffe costume! Its so stinking cute and of course he made it look even better! So I do have to say he will be the cutest kid on the block! or just in Texas.

*.* LiTtl3 StiNk3r *.*

So Ethan was suppose to be sleeping!!! But of course I go in to check on him after I put him down and this is what the little stinker was doing... So I guess I dont get a self relecting time... Oh well.

*.* fRoM DuSk Till DaWn *.*

Well This is something we couldn't resit sharing... our little 3than!

He has this new thing where he talks while he is falling to sleep, kind of a weird way to go to sleep, but it works for him... and while he is sleeping...

But as you can tell he sure is a happy little bugger when he wakes up. Along with all the other things that he is doing, fake laughing is one those you'll hear that in the 2nd video. hope you all enjoy our bundle of joy. He sure makes us smile and laugh! So I hope he is able to put a smile on your face and bring a laugh from your gut.

3nJoY!
