Ethan's Birthday

This has to go down as the worst b-day ever! This poor little guy spent all day in the freezing cold rain for the big boys baseball games! I wish I would have taken a picture of Ethan and Alexia all bundled up in the blue chairs. I sat them in the middle and built these little tents around them so they would stay warm, you could just see their little pink faces poking out!

They were so good about it and did not even complain. Ethan asked for Dino Chicken (yummy!) for his b-day dinner and ice cream cake. My last attempt at a cake did not go well, but I was really excited to try this one. There was no baking involved, so not much to mess up! Again, went to the store, bought all the ingredients, had everything ready to go and nothing about this day went as planned. We were on "baseball stand-by" all day. Game-on/Game-off all morning.

By the time we got our little popsicles home, there was not time to make an ice cream cake, we ended up buying one from Ben and Jerry's. Ethan did not care, he had more fun playing basketball and riding his scooter in the kitchen. He is such a little boy and so easy to shop for. I can never resist wrapping up something that I know my kids will make a face at! Now that he's a big boy and potty trained, I had to wrap up underwear.....it was too funny! I must get the urge to do obnoxious thing from my dad!

I always want to make each of kids birthday's their own special day, and in it's own way....this one was definitely memorable. One that I will never forget!

Here are a few pictures, we've been having problems with our camera and the quality is not great. Time for a new one!






Movies and Color Wonder from Aunt Jill Grandma.
We absolutely love Color Wonder at our house,
no-way for him to color the walls!!!






Ethan wanted a bat and glove like his brothers.
He loves to do everything they do.....he was
not too excited that they did not look
exactly like the big boys though!





Just what every little boys wants
for their birthday.
Socks and Underwear!!!
The face is priceless!






What did I say in my previous post
about getting a picture of my kids
NOT doing something obnoxious!
I'll take this though, this makes the
whole icky day worth every second!







We try to tell him it's rude to point,
but it does no good! It's become his
trademark, along with sticking
his tongue out at everyone he
sees.....we actually tell people
it means he likes you!







The cake was yummy, and he was happy!
(No-one is allowed to comment on the fact
that there are matches in the cake.....I could
not find the candles!!!!!)




This was the highlight of his day, because mom
never lets the big boys play basketball in the
kitchen or ride scooters in the house! Did not
have the heart to tell him that it was all
moving outside in the morning!
