*.* new hair*.*

Well I got sick of my hair like normal and had to have something different.. So I went from trying to go blonder to Dark Brown... Im working on getting a tan too so I dont look so scary! :) LUcky for me I am able to get to the pool and Soak in all the sun I can with out looking like a lobster and Going tanning for free. :) So lets hope it looks okay... :) cause if not I am the only one to blame... cause I did it all by myself...

*.*A NeW Start*.*

Well its official I am a Student at MedVance Institute and am enrolled in the MA (medical assistant) Program. I just started on Monday and will go till Thursdays every week from 8-1.I will only be in school for 8.5 months and then I will be graduated and off to work in February 2010! We as a family are trying to adjust to the changes that have been made... Layne has been so great and supportive through all this... He SAYS he likes his New work schedule better because it gives him time he didn't get before to hang out with Ethan... He was able to set his schedule for M-Th 2-9 Fridays from 10-7 and Have Saturdays and Sundays off. Its nice because I am home at 130 and have the rest of the day to spend with Ethan... and when Layne gets home we have dinner we put Ethan to bed and have some good bonding time! :)

I Have found in the last few days that I have to leave at either 630 or 645 to get to class on time... Its only 17 miles from our apartment but with TRAFFIC ITS TERRIBLE! Sometimes it takes me an hour to get to school going about 10 MPH even 5... talk about want to scream at someone!! But I make it and the ride home is faster and more enjoyable!

So that is a little something New going on with us Over here in Houston.

Also, I wanted to say thanks to all my family that has been so supportive about all this and want to say THANKS SO MUCH! I love and miss you all!

*.*a Fit?*.*

This is Sunday night after his nap... And I am pretty sure he wasn't ready to be awake... Normally he is happy and talks talks talks... but he cried cried cried, and threw a fit on the floor... Here is the process... ha ha at least he wasn't kicking and screaming... but it was actually kinda pathetic..:) He went to bed a few hours later.

I've FaLlEn And I CaNt GeT UP!*.*

I have to laugh and take a picture of course before I help him out of Theo's toy basket . When the saying "HELP!! Ive Fallen AND I CANT GET UP!!" is said this is what I am sure it refers to... I tried to hurry and get a picture of him with his arms out of the basket flapping up and down, but I didn't move fast enough! Anyway, I wanted to share this funny moment with you all because it sure made me laugh... Don't worry, after I took this picture I helped him out... and he kept right on playing in it! :)

*.*Sharing.. Sharing.. Thats the thing to do*.*

If Ethan has ANYThING he is so sweet to share with anyone and anything! And after they give it back he is sure to say THANKYOU! Well A few days ago I was reading through some emails and turned around to see Ethan Sharing with Theo... WHich I think is Theos favorite thing! :) Im so glad that my little guy is so willing to share with everyone... I dont think that sharing is going to be a problem... at least I hope not...(Knock on wood)

*.*OuR ReD CouCh*.*

These pictures don't do our couch Justice! It Looks so great in our living room!! And it nice to finally have something to sit on... we don't have to crowd up in the recliner anymore!! And we got it for a great deal! I was worried at first that it would look like too much but honestly it looks beautiful in our apartment... gives it some life in here! :)

*.*Easter*.*

Well this Easter was laid back. We really did do anything other then wake up and Let Ethan get into his easter basket that the Easter Bunny brought him... and then went to church. :) I figure that there isnt a better way to spend the day with just your family! We had a great day and a great Easter Snack.

I have to say that I think it is the most fattning treat I have ever enjoyed! It had Ice Cream, Half and Half, Milk, Chocolate Syrup, Strawberries, and some Whipped Cream... Yep i think that is what.. 50 pounds in a bowl?? or more.. whew, it was good though!

HOpe that ya'll had a wonderful Easter!

*.*LA PORTE*.*

Layne, Ethan, Chris, and Aimee
Ethan wanted Chris's hat so Ethan took it from him and Put it on his head.

And then started laughing after he put it over his face. He is a little joker.

Of COurse trying to hand me something that he found on the ground.

As we were walking around La Porte Ethan found a little friend that he was trying to take home with him... but sadly mom wouldnt let him take home Gilbert.

This is Gilbert.. and he is dead.

*.*SoMeThINg RanDom*.*

So out here in the sun I dont have to be out as long as if i were in Idaho, as you can see I didnt think about that fast enough... i was enjoying the weather and fell asleep out on my deck.... So this is my result.. My legs and other areas are just as bad... Today I dont look like and Oompa Loompa but I feel the soreness of the burn still. Hope it turns out to be worth the pain!!

Getting his bottom changed... he was saying cheese cause I had the camera out so he continues to smile.

My little Gentleman.

Ha ha I am not sure what he was thinking other then smiling cause I was taking his picture! I Just LOVE HIm!
