Ethan's monumental step

Today Ethan enjoyed licking the batter off the beater for the first time. Nothing better than a brownie mix to be his first. Now he is going to start asking for taste tests every time we cook!

Gleneden Beach

Weekends spent at the beach are some of the best weekends we could ask for. There is something about watching the waves come in and crash on the shore that just makes you feel at peace. There wasn't a lot of activities planned, mostly just games, hanging out at of course shopping at the Tangier outlets. But mostly its the time away from normal life to enjoy each other and rejuvenate.

My guys playing in the sand

Shoot some hoops

Ethan loves to play ball, and particularly basketball. Recently we started a munchkin sports class where he gets to play ball to his heart's content. Today's class focused primarily on basketball. He did not want to go when it was time, he just wants to play "bouncey ball hoops". He learned how to dribble the ball with one hand. The instructor asked me if we were a basketball family. I laughed and said we don't know hardly anything about sports in our home, he just loves to play ball and does all day every day.

Over due

I know its about time to post again. We have been really busy with life, including an impromptu trip to Utah. I just wanted to catch up with this video of Ethan jumping in a pool. We spent most of the summer in the water and playing outside. Ethan has no fear when it comes to water. He takes off and never looks back.

Point and Shoot

Potty training is going well, Ethan has a good aim. He just doesn't like to wait until he gets to the toilet, I guess its not as much fun.

Vocal Recital

Ever since Ethan was a tiny tot I have been singing to him the song "I Am A Child of God." This has been part of his bedtime routine. About a month ago we discovered that he knew it by heart. Now he sings it all by himself about 50 times a day. Ok not that much, but a lot. Every time we get in the car he sings to pass the time, and this has been the #1 hit on the Ethan Kendall station. Take a look if you like.

Beating the heat

This squirrel has been perched here every day its been really hot. He lives in the attic above where he is sprawled out. He hangs his legs down and looks so exhausted from the heat. We just thought it was pretty funny.
